since installing cm10 i have had the wrong location for everything. i have recently upgraded all my routers/bridges to dd-wrt, and normally i would assume it is an isp/wifi/google issue. the problem is that my phone has the correct location when connecting to the same network. if i go outside, turn off network location and hook up with gps only then my location goes back to accurate in some apps. others apparently remember the network info.. did tons of searches with no help. really stuck on this one

Today I received the update from AT&T for my Captivate that supposedly "fixes" the various GPS problems. However I cannot get my phone to lock at all. I am outside where I should have no problem seeing the satellites. One thing to note is that I did use the Lbstestmode settings suggested in several different forums a while back. Is it possible that I need to change something to get back to where it was in the beginning?
I downloaded "GPS Test" and the GPS on button in the corner always shows yellow no matter what I do. I made sure my phone is set to "Use GPS satellites".
Is there anything else I shoudl try?
On my Nexus One, when I was inside and couldn't get GPS lock, and also out of range of WiFi networks, Google Maps would still get a rough location based off the cell tower. It was good enough for the weather widget to get my current location and to use Google Maps to find stuff around me.
Now, on my Inspire (rooted with the Desired HD Euro rom), I can't do that. If I can't get GPS lock, and WiFi is off or I'm out of range, it just says my location is temporarily unavailable. It's not locating me from the cell tower like my N1 is. I have the option checked in the location settings to use networks, but it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks.
I've found that it works on EDGE but not 3G, anyone else noticing this?

Somehow you fixed my problem on my HTC Inspire 4g, W Absolution 3.7 ROM.
I turned off 3g and went to EDGE, pressed the locate button on Google Maps..and TADA! I was pinpointed in seconds. After I turned back on 3g and it seems to work now. THANKS!
I can't connect to any WiFi routers for some reason. It will say connecting then saved and then connecting again. I'm also having isues with GPS lock. On maps it literally shows me jumping around between several different buildings a block ot two away. Should I do a ROM reflash? I'm on synergy ROM.

Go back to an ICS rom - get lock and then flash back to synergy
Do a clean flash of Synergy. A clean flash includes formatting system. The maps and location apps are in system/apps. This problem is usually accociated with corrupted maps and location apps and google framework. Alternately you can also try this fix although it will not fix any other problems flash related.

I'm on Synergy r73 and initially had a bunch of GPS lock issues. It would work intermittently. Sometimes it would lock then halfway along the route it would tell me I'm on a road that was several blocks away. Sometimes it wouldn't lock at all, not picking up a single satellite. I was close to a complete reformat but then I followed the directions in that link posted above and also used GPS Status and did all the calibrations.
It didn't take at first so I went back, cleared data on maps under applications manager, unchecked Standalone GPS services, unchecked Google location services, backed out, went back to location services and rechecked Google location services and Standalone GPS services, ran GPS status calibrations again, rebooted, then ran GPS Status calibrations again.
I probably didn't need to go through all of that, but after doing all of that GPS Status showed I was picking up satellites again. Hope that helps with the GPS issues.
As far as wifi, it gets weird every now and again, but I just turn it off and back on and all of a sudden it works well again.
I never noticed this problem until today. I tried to scan for WiFi networks and it couldn't detect any. It showed nothing in the list under WiFi settings. It only listed the WiFi networks I saved previously. I tried removing all my saved WiFi networks and see if this solves the problem, it didn't. It showed nothing in the list at all.
The weird thing is, the notification bar shows there are open networks found, and yet under the WiFi setting, there are no networks displayed. Also, if I use an app such as Wifi Manager, it can detect and display all the WiFi networks around me perfectly fine. What's even more weird is that before I cleared all my previously saved WiFi networks, the WiFi worked fine without any problem. There's nothing wrong with the WiFi itself, it connects to any previously saved network and downloads fine. But it doesn't detect any un-saved or unknown networks.
I'm not sure what caused this, but I don't remember having this problem before. Usually I just turn on WiFi from the quick pulldown in the notification bar and it connects automatically. It's only today where I tried to connect to an unknown network that I had to go into the WiFi settings, only to find out that it doesn't display any networks at all (other than my previously saved network).
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
Ok, reverted back to old nandroid backup (old rom and kernel version) and problem is still there. Did a full wipe and flashed rom as a fresh start, WiFi displays the networks fine. Not sure what could have caused this, as I use the same settings and apps on all my phones and only my Sensation XE is showing this problem.

doesn't work.
Just sharing for search purpose as it is the first thread that appears: "xda android wifi scanning detects nothing"
One motive for WIFI scan result in none SSID is when you block Location of Android Settings at App OPS.
I tried that to block one persistent kernel wakelock, but got no lucky.
I've been scouring the internet for solutions and honestly I find I rarely ever have to ask questions but looks like this time I need to put one up here.
I'm suspecting that my phone's wi-fi chip is pretty much bricked.
I get a situation some people have had here before where when I turn on the wi-fi, it kind of stays there and then turns back off, so never turning on. For some people this happened to here I understand it was the wi-fi only and the bluetooth still worked - but in my situation however the bluetooth is acting the same way. I'm aware that the Wi-Fi and BT chip are the same on the XT925 so it would seem like a hardware issue.
The "MAC address" setting in Wi-Fi > Advanced shows "unavailable". But get this: when I go to About > Phone status, "Wi-FI Mac Address" is also showing as "Unavailable". Indicating the chip may have fried or something.
I have literally no idea how this happened. I was kind of sitting down outside a Starbucks in Namba, Osaka when my wi-fi was suddenly no longer able to connect to anything. Been 14 days since. Wi-fi is pretty much essential for me to be able to use this phone at all since I'm out-of-country and I don't have an active 3G/data plan (not that a Canadian modem RAZR would work on Japanese airwaves anyway).
I'm on a Canadian XT925 and was running GZR Validus 6.0 (4.4 KitKat), but the problem persists no matter ROM what I put on - even CM12 Lollipop - and through factory resets, etc. Even when my system is pretty much black and freshly installed, wi-fi and bluetooth won't turn on. Any thoughts, possible solutions? I've tried numerous solutions from deleting/replacing numerous files and even preparing "Wi-fi rescue zips" with files from other ROMs to no avail. On another forum, a whole bunch of RAZR HD users were having this precise issue on the stock ROM and solved it by deleting this flashlight app (weird, right?). Ofc I don't have any such flashlight app on my device.
If anyone knows where exactly the wi-fi chip is on the motherboard (or is it a separate component connecting to the mobo, that maybe got dislodged) I can open up the phone and have a look.
