CM10 - Xperia S - GPS not working - General Questions and Answers

Hi there, first Post in this Forums
I've got an Xperia S running CM10 and everything works fine except for GPS.
CM build FXP147
Things I did:
Wiped cache/dalvik
Fixed permissions.
reinstalled everything (Factory reset in recovery)
Used gpstest, status, helper etc... (a whole bunch of those tools)
and it's still not working.
Things i did before it stopped working:
I was running CM9 (gps working) and updated to 10. I don't exactly know if it was working then (haven't tested it). Next thing i did was installing gapps for JB because of photosphere.
Photosphere didn't work right away, so i did a little research: Problem was that my Xperia isn't listed under supported devices.
So i changed build.prob, got photosphere working and was happy.
I don't exactly know if this is related to my gps problem in any way, just in case:
After taking a picture with photosphere my android media process got active and drained my battery (~70%) in about an hour. So i read a few more topics and resolved that problem with "rescan media root"
3 days ago i checked gps: not working (doh!)
And then again: i did research.
found a bunch of possible solutions (mentoined above) - nothing worked.
So now i'm standing here with GPS not working and no way to get it work. Or even a reason why it isn't working anymore.
need help
Would have posted it in Android development forums, but my penis, ehhh postcounter is to small.
sincerly bjoern
PS: english is not my native language. i hope spelling isn't too bad.

[ROM] [27.04] MIUI v4 ICS - 2.4.27 - Android 4.0.4 - CM9 Kernel - Observations

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this but I could comment on the original forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433617&page=118#
I've loaded the latest .27 and all seems to work except for the Bluetooth as when I try connecting to it asks me again to enter my sim password then reboots.
Also rebooting is a wonderful thing as most of the issue people are getting seem to fix for me after a reboot - that said rebooting for Bluetooth does't work
Also someone stated the camera app is not good - seems fine to be took some nice pictures and a video with out issues.
Yeah its a little buggy but I'm going to see if I can live with this week.
One last thing its by far one of the best looking roms i've used for a long time - great work guys!

Milestone XT701 CM9 Problem T_T

Hello everyone it has been a long time since I've posted here. I really refrained from posting here since I know everyone else is dealing with the XT720 which is different, but I have tried everything. I am so close to it finally working perfectly.
I'm currently running this CM9 ROM: http://115.com/file/c2c50r7v#updatecm9.0.0RC0umts-sholesUNOFFICIALsigned-NIGHTLY-20120605.zip
from this link: http://www.anzhuo.cn/thread-293117-1-1.html
It seems to be the godsend for my phone. Mainly cause It has been a long time since I've ran a stable ROM that can be clocked at 1.0Ghz. I don't know about the XT720 but all the ROMs that has been released can only be overclocked to 800Mhz.
I flashed the CM9 ROM and then flashed the "gapps-gb-20111216-signed" for the Google apps. For the first time in months (before I was using a CM9 and CM7 before) I finally had wifi working. I don't really use much wifi (other than updating apps) so it didn't bother me back then. Everything else was working (cept for panoramic in the camera APP which NEVER works ever). But its like Motorola was playing a sick joke on me; I couldn't download/update my apps. I loaded everything fine but when I clicked download, I just see the download bar moving, but it never finishes. Weirdly, I reflashed everything and I suddenly got the error 921 (which I proceeded to search for a solution), but then after when I tried again, the error was gone and it was back to idle download bar. I did not change anything to the phone during that period.
So now I finally have XT701 clocked at 1.0 (like back in the day) with smartass/lagfree governors, working wifi, phone, audio and everything but I can't update/download apps.
I have tried:
-clearing data/cache for google play
-clearing data/cache for download manager
-reflashing with the 3 wipes for every step
What is the problem? Does it have to do with the bands? When I first flashed the ROM i had to change the network settings to Canada(Telus) cause it was set at somewhere else. Is that the problem?
Thanks in advance

[Q] WiFi and BT Issues with Peregrine Carbon-ROM

Hi, i was happy seeing that the dev of the CM/Carbon/Slim-Roms didn't just stop but moved from the old original shabbypenguin-thread to xda
the latest Carbon-Build ( CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140825-0209-peregrine.zip ) finally works for the most part on my side, pretty happy with that.
unfortunately 2 things aren't and i wanted to see if anyone else has this issues or has some idea to solve them
first one is, that WiFi won't connect to all networks - at home on a netgear-repeater everything is fine - in the office it won't connect to D-Link and TP-Link routers.
the other, more troubling issue is that bluetooth isn't working as it should - as long as no device is connected, everything is fine, but as soon as it connects to my car-system (MB C-Class w204 without command if that makes any difference ) the bluetooth-process stops, reconnects, stops again and so on...with my laptop everything seems to be working fine and i think the first drive after coupling also worked fine - any idea what can be the cause of this? never had this kind of problem before, be it stock or older unofficial CM-Builds etc...
i'm refering to this thread btw: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-carbonrom-kitkat-t2847887

*push* nobody got any ideas? i would post it in the appropriate thread (especially since this rom is still only nightly) as a potential bug report, but as a new user i'm not able to :/
just another push...somebody must have any idea on what i can try to either solve or at least track down the cause of the issue(s)
sure enough, the BT-issue is worse..
tried the newest build (dirty update and after that clean flash), but still no luck

The WiFi bug is a known issue since early August. It affects almost every Moto device (G, G 4G, X and defy?) it's reported several times to CM-s bug tracking system, but nobody cares... You can use custom kernels. Maybe they aren't affected.
I don't know anything about the BT bug.
i found some posts about people having the same kind of wifi-issue, but it is good to know, that the devs are aware and - kind of - working on it
the BT-thingy is driving me insane though...fiddled around a bit, stopping BT-Related processes etc...this somehow did something...my phone now connects and stays connected, i can make phone calls...but the contact list is incomplete - only 3 random contacts are displayed on the car system
haven't rebooted since then, i kind of fear that rebooting will bring back the issue :/
BT still working after reboot, so it seems my "fix" is permanent...must have something to do with deleting the BT-data/cache while process was killed i would think - in case someone else also encounters this problem
still can't acces all my contacts from Car-system though :/
Most nights roms have a lot of issues and it is pretty hard to stay aware all of bugs. Why don't you try something more stable like Pac Man RC or some. Sometimes a different kernel will help sometimes it's the opposite.
Well, i'd rather use a stable version for sure...
sadly, i didn't know about falcon<->peregrine, so i thought i can use all the Moto G roms with my xt1039...
and to this date there are no stable roms for peregrine that i am aware of - an old unofficial CM-Build worked pretty good for me, but CM unfortunatley doesn't offer all the features i want - carbon covers pretty much most of it, so i'm hoping that it will be "bugfree" soon enough ^^

All AOSP rom uses the CM device tree and kernel as a base, so the low level kernel bugs are the same.. Also the last "stable" CM for falcon is dated back to April, so you didn't lose anything with peregrine...
Just in case anyone encounters the same Issues:
with CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140922-0414-peregrine the BT-Problems seem to be resolved, connection works and the contacts are accessible from the car.
WiFi still has problems with dhcp, but as stated, devs are aware of that :good:
bad news: flashed to CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141103-0939-peregrine and the BT-issue is back as in the beginning - com.andoird.bluetooth stops working - but only following the first connect -.-
interestingly going back to my pre-flash-backup didn't resolve the issue (doesn't matter if i just restore or wipe prior to that...but after flashing/restoring the first connect works perfectly)...perhaps that leads to some ideas about the cause?
was just trying to get it to work like the other time by stopping/deleting data of com.andoird.bluetooth, but didn't work this time
ok, figured it out again, this time i'll post my steps in case anyone ever encounters similar issues (and for my future reference in case i encounter them again, too )
1) unpair
2)switch off bluetooth
3) stop com.android.bluetooth in "apps"
4) delete data of com.android.bluetooth
5) reboot
6) pair
7) unpair
8) delete data of com.android.bluetooth
9) pair
10) reboot
at least these are the steps i did and it seems to be working now, again

no sound, no auto-rotate
I am fairly new to Rooting and updating my Xoom to the newest Kitkat system. I am having 2 issues as of right now. The sound has never worked no matter what the settings say, and initially the auto-rotate was functioning and suddenly it stopped.
I have checked all options/setting and see nothing that should explain either of these 2 issues. I also didnt add any new apps in the time from initial update to the auto-rotate not working so if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Again I am fairly new to all this, so the simpler or more detailed the potential solution the more likely I will understand it.
Thanks.
No sound on Omni 4.4 cmda version
I love the rom, only problem is I have no sound on the cmda version. I read the comments and saw people suggest install the top rom version over the bottom and then reflashing gapps. Should have sound. When I do this tablet boots but keeps giving me error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" I say ok but it keeps coming up and wont let me get any further. Any suggestions?
volume issue
Anyone know how to fix the no sound issue in omni rom 4.4.4 stingray cdma? I cant get any sound at all. Help would be appreciated.
Took a couple go's but now up and running 4.4.2!
Thank you!
First time I've moved from the standard stock implementation, never even rooted the device before, but a couple attempts and following your instructions I managed to install BigPart, Flash omni-4.4.2-201XXXXX-everest-HOMEMADE_XXXX.zip, gapps-xxxx.zip & UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip.
I was about to give up on the Xoom and buy something newer, Tab S or something, but this appears to have put new life back into the old Xoom!
Followed the instructions above, but could not get it to clear Dalvik, failed every time. In the end I bit the bullet and formatted the internal drive, then flashed again - worked like a charm - figured since I was going to pass it over for a new one or this was going to work I had little to lose. As it happens I now seem to have it back & working well.
Now have bunch of apps back installed and trying them all out, so far most appear to be fine; though Google maps crashes whenever I zoom in too far.... less than a country level, I don't mean excessively far - thoughts?

Google Maps v9+ has problems on the Xoom with all the different custom ROMS (Omni, CWM, EOS, etc). You need to downgrade to Maps v8.4.1 to get it to work.

It has also been noted that 9.2.0 is rolling out and that it works on the Xoom. I updated yesterday and did a quick check - it does appear to work fine!
No Sound
After I flashed "[ROM][4.4.4] OmniROM - Stingray/Stingray_CDMA - bigPart." onto my Verizon Motorola Xoom 4G Tablet,
I have no sound at all and also the auto-rotate feature does not work (stays locked in portrait mode until reboot).
A number of other forum members have posted the same problem. Can we get a solution from someone on the forum?
have all but twrp v 2.6.3 big part
I have every thing I need except big part v2.6.3, none of the links I've found work? Does it have to be v2.6..3. ? There seem to be updated versions?
No 3g or 1x fallback
Install this today, everything went ok, execpt i could not get verizon 3g or 1x service. 4g works fine, when i have coverage. SBF back to stock again i guess.
e:unable to mount '/cache
The process for flashing the xoom (stingray model) seems somewhat straightforward. Yet I can't seem to get a working flash from the effort. Two problems:
1) during the "wipe this and that" stage while running in recovery, I get "FAILED" for each of the requisite areas to wipe, along with other messages such as that in the title. while i find a handful of other posts within this forum from folks experiencing the same problem, i find nothing in response with useful suggestions to fix what's apparently broken;
2) the tablet boots up to the OMNI splash-screen, and that's it.
I've repeated the steps at the head of this thread umpteen-zillion times. But the result is the same after each attempt. Either some critical step (or two) is/are missing from the initial (and horribly written) description, or I have the most stubborn tablet built.
i haven't bricked the thing... i can access it via adb, and i can get into recovery with no issues. what i can't seem to do is:
1) find a TWRP download using the links provided that doesn't trip quarantine due to virus detection; or,
2) find a coherent set of instructions that correctly describe the logical flow of the process of flashing a ROM on a Xoom.
Suggestions?
CDMA Voice and data programming
Hi,
Thanks for your effort and excellent work but I need some help, The main thing i want to try, is to get back my CDMA signal because since i tried the stock rom 4.1.2 i was not able to get any Data working there, my xoom is a just CDMA with no sim or LTE upgrade and i already tried 2 basebands on it the one with the last version of the stock room and the one that gets installed with the IMML update but no luck, if by any chance you have the first baseband it would be great i guess its something like 2.00.
Another question that I have is related to BP tools or programming the Cdma xoom, every time I try to start in bp tools I was not able to see the utility, just today i tried to connect to my PC and its not able to connect to CDMA Workshop or QPST, is there a way to do that? i need to activate something? any idea would be great!
And would be great if you have any MZ600 SBF where has included the first baseband 2.00 'cause probably it will help me to recover my 3g data (it's the only thing i didn't find and try).
Thanks!!!
is this have a default calling future like any mobile?
Thank You to OmniRom for xoom devolopers (all of you)
I just wanted to post a thank you to all of the developers of the omnirom for xoom. I was able to install it tonight, with a couple soft brick scares, but it is up and ruining. I love my xoom and am very appreciative.
Thanks....Steve
Xoom OnmiROM freezes
I've got a similar problem to the problem outlined in this post. My son also has seen it on his Xoom.
When it becomes unresponsive (either on the dock or not), the only way I can recover is to hold the volume up and the power button until the tablet reboots. To me, it appears it goes into a deep sleep that the power button alone can't wake it up from.
There seems to be no set time period that the tablet has to be up before it hangs. Sometimes I can set it down for an hour and other times it's still responsive the next day.

It's not real common for this to happen, but this same issue does occasionally happen on the CyanogenMod 11 Rom also. Other than this, and the workarounds to do a few other things in Android 4.4.4, the Xoom has been a real God send that is just amazing.

GPS not working, even after a "hard paper" fix

Hallo everyone,
after many years of use without problems and with the Stock Android OS my GPS stopped working. I noticed that using first Google Maps, then I had the confirmation using the app "GPS Status" (Screenshot here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xikt3yd4fz4sen/Screenshot_20190113-135600.png?dl=0).
I tried to use the "Hard Paper" fix under the GPS contatcs, but It didn't change anything.
Any tipps?
Update: I changed the Backcover (inclusive GPS antenna) with a new one, but It didnĀ“t change anything. Could maybe be a software problem?
The contacts may be busted. Neither NFC or GPS work on my N5 anymore. The contacts failed after the years of use/abuse. I didn't dig much deeper into fixing it than just confirming the problem as I only use my N5 as my snowboarding phone/media player.
Thanks for your answer. I checked the contacts of the Motherboard too, but the seems completely fine. I didn't had any Problem with the NFC, but the GPS still doent work. I have done a factory reset of the whole OS, hoping it was a software problem, but there's no difference and the GPS still doesn't work.
I still want find the cause of this. Any other tipps?
Maybe the gps.conf file is broken (it usually happens when you install a custom rom but maybe it happened on stock aswell)
Try to replace your gps.conf file with this one here. (need to be rooted)

Thanks for your tipp.
I first installed Lineage 14.1 (the OS works really well in comparison to the old Stock Rom) but the GPS still didn't work. So I tried first to install the new gps.conf via this guide, with no change. Then I tried the the app TopNTP, seems that it doens't work. So I gave a change to another App, GPS Fix/Optimzer, but even if it install of the .inf file succeded, the GPS don't work.
Im running out of ideas an hoping for a miracle. :angel:
Sorry, I thought that with the Lineage OS installation there was an automatic root of the phone. Of course I was wrong, and that's why the TopNTP and GPS Fix/Optimizer didn't work.
I rooted the phone right now, and tested the Apps in order to fix the GPS Issues, sadly without much success.
I tried different combinations with TopNTP, then used the GPS Fix/Optimizer standard options for my country. With both the Phone GPS can't reach a better accuracy of 1,5 Km. I don't remember if before was better, but the GPS is still not usable.
Still looking for help, every tipp is welcome! :good:
