Try buying GPS Aids Donate. Use the GPS Doctor. Afterwards, turn on GPS Status in the app, and it will locate satellites around you. That should get you to lock on perfectly.

I'm having the same issue. Unlocked phone on ATT. Running BSGS. Have tried GPS Doctor, GPS Status and GPS Aid Donate. Phone won't download the xtra data. None of these programs have worked. Anyone else unlocked running GB on a network other the TMOB getting GPS to work and if so HOW?

I too can't download xtra data, however I do get GPS fix after 5 min or so. Totally unacceptable but haven't been able to fix it.
I live outside USA so my carrier is not T-Mobile

if gps aids v3 doesnt work, try v2. for all of my phones, 3 doesnt work, so i always use gps aids v2 and i have never had a problem. all that you have to do is go to gps doctor and click regenerate and you should be good to go.

jager
I've tried GPS Donate V2 and it just gets stuck on checking license. I know you like the program and all but I've tried others with the same result. I'm gonna call att and see if the problem is on there end. Just seems really unlikely. How could they shut off a GPS chip?

just tried my gf phone(atrix from att on att) and it locks on fine. She is not paying for att nav. just used google nav no problems. This GPS chip in my phone is really getting to me. It worked great until I unlocked and or went to GB. Did both at roughly the same time. Don't know what else to try.

If it got stuck on checking license, install v3 and then install v2 without uninstalling v3. Should work then.

Should being the key word. Tried it both ways and still gets stuck on checking license. I'll email the developer and get it straightened out. I'm starting to think it may have something to do with unlocking the phone. Stranger things have happened. Thanks

[Q] Wifi calling is AWFUL since CM 7.2 stable

When I flash 7.2 stable or any nightly after it, wifi calling quality is AWFUL. It's nearly impossible to understand what the other person is saying due to dropouts and static and such. It kind of sounds like cell calling when you have almost 0 signal (dropouts, distortion). Cell calling works and sounds fine, not wifi calling.
If I flash back to 20120603-NIGHTLY-p999, wifi calling works fine again. And YES, I do have the new March baseband.
I've tried this on multiple wifi networks that I KNOW have plenty of bandwidth, and the results are the same.
Anyone else have this issue? Solutions?

I'm having the issue as well even more so I'm having issues connecting, if/once it does connect I get static as well.

You guys updating the RIL by any chance?

Yup, I'm on LG-P999-V21y, which I think is the only one that works with the March baseband.
Would RIL affect wifi calling anyway? I assumed RIL only had to do with the cell radio.

I was on 20c for some reason. I just switch hex to 21y hopefully that'll help.

I keep getting this at my work I changed nothing from yesterday ans it was fine... and whn at home I got it there also. Which is fine I get service at home but not at my work.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I had the v21y ril for awhile but I had noise and connectivity issues...
Now I'm just using the default (v20c) ril...connects no problem and noise issue went away....

I'll look into it next time I'm at work at that location... It's a College arena with about 10 wi-fi routers all over the place... still Wi-Fi calling at my house where nothing has changed is acting stupid... just takes minutes to connect at times, and if it connects it sounds weird and distorted... I went back to a OTA GB rom and nothing was wrong with wi-fi calling, so i dont know... Thanks for the link though.

stock 7.2 kernel -- it works fine for me, if and only if you
(1) are on 21y baseband
(2) use GetRIL to make sure you have 21y RIL
(3) flash Owain's fix for new baseband
(4) use Trinity ELPmax kernel..
Then it's fan-frickin-tastic.
Otherwise, it works, but you have to reboot all the time to keep it working.

No GPS with SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-BR7

Please forgive me if this has been asked and solved before. I'm having a problem with GPS locking on this rom only. I tried updating the GPS config file but had no luck locking on. I'm in an area where with other roms I can typically lock onto about 7 or 8 satellites. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You tried gps fix or a-gps apps from the play store?

I did try using GPS Status to "reset" the GPS. It did VERY briefly find two satellites and then they disappeared. I've tried re-downloading the rom, wiping, etc. with no luck. I'm just bummed out cause I really like this rom but no GPS is a no-go for me.

Gps works. Try more apps. Get a fresh download. There are always more things to try.

You said it works..are you using an app from the app store, or is it working from the Rom itself? It's my favorite Rom but I rarely use GPS. I just wanna know in case I decide to use it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

I did download GPS Status from the Play Store and I use navigation daily so it's pretty important to me. I don't know why sometimes it seems to see less or more in the same location but I used the turn by turn directions last night just fine. I'll let everyone know if I see any changes but right now it seems good.
I also flashed the Wi-Fi calling and it's working out, thank you. Looking forward to your future projects!

Data drops

Hi guys,
Seems like I'm getting 4G data drops off T-Mobile. It connects for like, 7 seconds, then drops, then connects again. I've tried both radios and ROM's available (stock) and the same problem exists.
I'm going to return the phone as-is to the customer with the issue partly unresolved, mainly because it does connect voice and MMS, just the data has issues.
Any ideas before I give him the phone back?

when I first upgraded to ICS from Kies, I was having the same issue.I put it in airplane mode, rebooted, and removed airplane mode and it worked after that.

Thank you for your reply! I will try that now.

There is a Zip that was created on the G2x forums that fixed the data drops on 4.0.4. O wonder if it would work for our phone given that it's a APN configuration. Hmmm...

Unfortunately, I still have the issue. I will return this cellphone to the customer and recommend talking to T-Mobile support or directly to the manufacturer. Thanks!

Go download it from the G2x forums and let us know how it went. Make sure to backup first, just in case.

Update: The creator of the APN fix confirmed that it should work on other T-Mobile phones. Has anyone tried it?
This is the link to the ROM, but obviously just scroll down and download the APN fix if you're having data drops and let us know how it goes:

Almost forgot, the APN fix is ONLY for T-Mobile users. So don't flash if you're on Straight Talk.

Connection Issues

Hey guys--
Sorry is this has been posted but, the xda app isn't exactly search friendly. That being said, I'm having issues.
I'm on Sky JB Base 7.1 update 7.2 and i'm having issues with the radio (UCLF6). It will be connected for a few minutes then loses all service for a few minutes (wifi stays connected though).
Sorry if I'm not giving enough information, but if you need more, I'd be glad to oblige.

Thanks for the reply. Tried to flash UCLF5, and no connection at all. Even at boot up.
What information can I give to help?
Does it matter that the radios were for ICS, or that doesn't matter?

Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Hmmm.. I've found a few and I seem to be on the right track. Still no good.

I noticed that when I was on base 5. On base 7.1, I'm not seeing that anymore. I'm on UCLF5 and no issues. After flashing the base, it's highly recommended to let it sit and cache. Then start the Google app restoring process. Also check the governor (on demand or performance).
