For some reason my GPS won't lock, I am aware that that all of the previous issues with the GPS were fixed with Scott's latest builds, however for me its still not seeming to work. Can someone help please? Give me some tests to run or something?! Lol, I hope I put this in the right place. Thanks.

From time to time, with no rhyme or reason some users find that the first lock can take a long time- from 20 mins. up to in 1 case overnight. Once locked it seems to be fine. GPS Test is as good as any, free on Google Play. Best not to have wi-fi on.

I've used every rom on XDA and they're all great in their own way. I'm currently running the latest miui by whitehawkx. At first it was great but now I'm getting slow down and random loss of signal that only returns with a restart. I also have problems with the screen not turning back on properly. I press the lock button and the screen will light up like its about to turn on or it will flash the lockscreen for a second then go blank. Only fix is to relock then unlock again, quite a pain.
I'm looking for a daily rom that will get me at least 9 hours of battery life, is fast and responsive. Like I said, I've used all of the roms here but I don't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up for each rom and testing for multiple days to make a choice. Personal choices are welcome but please say why you like it.
On a side note, does anyone know why updates have pretty much stopped for all the roms our phone can use?
Thank you!

Try Weapon 3. I have been using it for a few weeks without any problems. Better battery life is accomplished with turning off GPS, Bluetooth and data when you're not using them. As well, don't run unnecessary apps and don't overclock.

Was actually in the process of downloading weapon. I can't shut data off since I need constant access to my email but otherwise I already do the other things. I've only been able to get about 10 max on my phone regardless of the rom, might have a bad battery.

I used GiggleBread with Trinity kernel and got over 25 hours as a max. On average I'd be around 16-18 hours with that combo. Try that. And this is with moderate use.
Wtf is gigglebread? If its on xda then I stand corrected in my statement that Ive used all the roms.

GPS lock takes forever. Some times doesn't even lock. Anyone else having this problem.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Get GPS Aids Donate app, download new LTO file. Also, calibrate compass and pitch and roll using the GPS Status app.
Allow 10 to 15 minutes for first lock either outside, in car, or near a window if indoors.
Report your results here for further diagnosis.
Also, there were some great posts from cnote/jager/etc earlier when I was having a lot of GPS trouble. I'll post links when I get to a computer.
I rerouted my GPS through a Sony system instead of googles. Seems pretty snappy but i'm still testing everything...

I pulled lbsTesMode.apk from an old ROM. Using supermanager, I went under apk manager, sleceted lbsTestMode.apk, then activity and selected the shortcut icon the first entry (.lbsTestMode) to make a shortcut on the homescreen. Went to my homescreen, selected the new icon; went to SUPL/CP Settings and put supl.google.com for the server. Then I dialed *#*#INFO#*#* selected phone information and scrolled down. I hit the refresh button and checked what was in the SMSC box. I then replaced that with 07913121139418f0. Since then my GPS takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get a lock. On some phones you can make those changes by dialing *#*#3214789650#*#*, but for some reason I get an FC when I dial that (it's service mode).
I cannot get a GPS lock on any rom that I've tried. Scott's, butter and jelly, paranoid android. I've tried using GPS test to clear the settings and no matter what I Cannot get a lock. Maybe the gps is defective on my phone.

are you using the newest radios and rpm file and newest vzw leak?? with that combo, I get an, almost, instant lock.
I always have issues too I just tried this app
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app and it ran for a while and it seems to have fixed my GPS now. Although every time I get it fixed its only a matter of days before it breaks again https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix

Thank you so much. On my gs3, stock I couldn't even get a gps lock until I installed this app. Took about 2-3 mins to fix it and then bam. Got a gps lock. Thanks a bunch for the tip. It worked.

Flashing back to stock generally works as well. Just flash back, get a fix, then flash your Rom again

Flashed latest radios. Seems a bit ridiculous to have to flash back to stock, does not make a whole lot of sense. Will give the app a go then revert to stock I guess.

My experience with GPS has been that its completely random. Somehow I feel that if I leave GPS on it tends to get locks quicker, but honestly its a crap shoot.

If you don't mind Touchwiz, Synergy is great. I use it and have never had any GPS issues nor read about any in their thread. Locks very quickly even inside.

I hate to break the news but gps issues, at least for me, were not ROM related. Sometimes it seems that they have more to do with hardware than the ROM you choose. I use Synergy and I absolutely love it so I recommend that you flash it and stick with it. However, If you do still have gps issues try this link and read ALL of the OP. I did and I no longer have any issues. 5 seconds and I'm locked everytime!

Hi, I have 2 problems which I cannot find the answer on XDA.
First, I have 2 unlock screens for CM7.
I have the slider lock, which then go to the pattern lock.
I only want the pattern lock.
Second, I have the old android market, not the new one I had before I flashed CM7. Is there a difference?
Anytime I download a new app, it says "Packaged file not signed correctly cannot complete" or something along those lines. I searched how to fix this and it said to use Titanium backup to uninstall the app in question and reinstall. Well.... I don't have facebook installed and it says cannot complete. Any suggestions? Maybe try a new Gapp?
Can anyone link me to a better Gapp than the 2.3.7 Gapp on Goo.im
when you originally flashed cm7 did it take you through the Google account setup? Where it asks for your gmail account and it syncs all your info? I had a similar problem when i first flashed cm7 but i didn't have the market or playstore installed AT ALL lol. I would recommend deleting the gapps and downloading a fresh one. Do a complete wipe in cwm and reflash everything in this order.
1.rom.
2. Kernel if you want, recommend mazouts latest oc kernel runs great.
3. Baseband fix zip file.
4. Gapps.
This should fix the issue.

Go to settings, open cyanogenmod settings, then unlock options, then tap "skip on security" to fix your lock screen problem. As for the play store, the thing the other person said should work.

Yeah no **** it shut off lol. Don't mess with the OC unless you read some tutorials on it. I keep mine at max- 1015 min-216. I don't even mess with it very much because I dont want to fry my phone.

Lol. Ok and also does your phone ever overheat? i have the extended battery thing you know and my phone keeps freezing then going to the LG screen and just staying there occasionally. prolly every few hours it does that and i have to take the battery out
The only problem i experience over heating issues is when I'm using wifi calling over a crappy wifi connection. For some reason when it loses connection while its asleep, the phone falls into a sleep of death or SOD. so when i press the power button nothing happens, screen wont turn on the phone starts to heat up ans drain the battery like no other. I have to remove battery and reboot phone to fix. Does not happen often and only when using wifi calling over a crappy network

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Not even pretty sure mine is 1500 lol. Make sure u don't have a lot of apps running in the background. Check cached processes as well....if i let a bunch of apps build up it can trigger a sod for me. Also if I'm connected to an unstable or weak wifi network
