Location problems - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

My phone after many ROMS has lost the ability to locate itself. I'm not talking about gps either. It simply can't use any network to locate itself. Anyone encounter this or know what to do?

Explain what locating itself means and some of the steps you have already taken and did/didn't work. Elaborate a little bit more so I can understand the issue

I can confirm that every time I flash a new Rom it takes a long time (2-5min) to locate itself for the first time.I haven't paid to much attention to see if it's getting worst.

Like using maps or any app that locates you. It just doesn't work.

Odin a stock ROM and see if you still have the problem. That should eliminate a hardware problem.

I have just learned to assume people are. Especially people who are the only ones reporting a problem.
Your phone will use triangulation(cell), gps and wifi for location. It is really hard for me to believe that all three of those have failed. So either your missing the glaringly obvious or you are the unluckiest person ever to own the Rocket.

OMG I've been through this nightmare and here is what I did:
Yes you know and you already did it but make sure and here is why:
There is a Green button in apps menu (Google Settings) that overrides all the maps locations, ads, searches and other junk. Go in there and toggle location settings on/off.
There is a Blue button in apps (Google Now) and have that on too for now until you get it working but the Green (Google settings) supersedes all and blue doesn't have to necessarily be on.
Good luck champ!

It makes it to were you don't have to put in the whole Static Info. You can just connect and go. (And connect to other wifi spots without changing stuff)

Did you also try FXR WiFi fix & rescue?
Now all we need is an app that opens music player when a call comes in. Then we'll have a ring... ;p

You can actually do that with tasker, not sure if it'll do the trick though..
Is it "Weficonnector" or wificonnector. Was unable to find the former.
Thanks.

Can someone post the apk? Can't find it on the market, and my data is too slow right now. Thanks.

Is there a way...

To make all market apps show up? Like even the ones that are 'not compatible.' Yes i have tried chainfire but it doesnt seem to work for this device. Any info is appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
What app is not showing up for you? . Because even non compatible ones would show up for me when i had my atrix. Learned the hard way changing the density made alot of apps non compatoble. But they still showd up and just said device not coompatible. But changing the density back to factory settings fixed it

RPG Grinsia is one of them.

I found it if u go to the website for the market . When you choose your device it actually says not available in this devices country??? Like the game is not available in the united states look here atbattached picture
And heres the web link to it. You can see the apps on the webpage ( even the incompatible ones) https://market.android.com/details?id=kemco.magitec.grinsia ( just choose browser to open the link not market)
As another example Asphalt 6 wasnt available until a couple days ago when it was updated to work with more devices. So your telling me im forced to just browse the online market to view all the apps? That way i can try to obtain success with Chainfire and experiment with more of the non compatible ones.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
There is not much you can do but "obtain" the apk file online somewhere, or find the application on a alternative market (SlideME, Amazon App Store, etc.)

Trying to install the leaked apk on a leaked ICS room (the newest leak). It won't let me install it. Have any one else tried? Have install from unknown sources enabled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
I had to use root explorer and push it in the system/app folder. If you have the vlingo.apk you need to rename it to vlingo.apk.old, put the new apk in that folder, set the permissions and restart. It'll load but as soon as it tries to reply to your request it will probably force close.
Edit: after doing those steps go back into the system/app folder with root explorer and install the apk like a normal app. After that its been working great!

Tried this link, installed fine, and acts like it is working good. Except after I do a voice command, it won't take another until I exit app and come back in.
Hope i'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this suggestion. You might want to try the app AVX on the market. It is a great voice command program. Took me about a week or so to get it working the way I want but love it now. You can also change the wake up phrase.
This doesn't work well. Extremely slow, laggy and voice recognition 90% of the time can't recognize the command. is this working better for anyone using a skyrocket?

Agreed. Cant stand it. Seems like Siri is the one and only thing Apple has over Droid. Although, i still would not trade a box full of iPhone 4S's for my Skyrocket. (No, this is not a troll post. I hate Apple with a burning passion.) I just wish we could get something comparable to Siri. I'll patiently wait.

Interesting that they don't use the navigation voice. After recent (last 2 months) update to maps and navigation Google included an upgrade voice to navigation.

[Q] Swiftkey Flow

What do you guys think of it?
http://www.swiftkey.net/introducing-swiftkey-flow
Given that I consider SwiftKey the best keyboard out there for the way I use one, I think it would be an awesome topic for the Apps section!
>>> POOF <<<<
That was amazing!
I'm looking forward to trying it out. I did sort of like Swype, but it was just to buggy, its predictions too far off the mark, and no ability to edit the user dictionary made me leave it behind long ago.
Looks neat I signed up for the beta, tried out touchpal the other day, seemed too bloated but this looks somewhat promising. Thanks for the share.

It is explained on their support site here:
http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...tion-to-use-swiftkey-predictions-everywhere-i
But, basically, there are two flags that android developers can use to let a keyboard know not to supply predictions. One of them is for a field that offers its own autocorrect. SwiftKey 3 behaves the same way. You can't flow anywhere that you don't have predictions. I hope that they change this and I hope that Google/Android changes how these flags work.
Just went ahead and downloaded this. Been wanting a nice swipe app. This works really well so far. Diggin the customization ability of it too.
Sucks battery like no tomorrow, from what I can tell. CM9 here.
