[Q] No more GPS on any rom - HTC Sensation

Hi all,
this is my first XDA post :good:
My gps doesn't work anymore on my HTC Sensation 4G: after 15 minutes it still doesn't get the position.
Tried different navigators (maps, osmand) and specific tools (GPS status & toolbox) -- I've flashed different roms (CM 10.2/11 with Sultan Kernel, Miui V5) but the problem is still there. Location is (obviously) active both for google and in generic settings.
What would you do to understand if the gps module is broken?
Here are some info about current configuration
Android 4.3.1 @sultan ION 50.5
Baseband 11.68.3504.00P_11.21.3504.13_2
Thanks for any help

Which ROm did you use,
Try this agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip
This is a flashable zip onto Recovery

I discovered that GPS is dependent on the Gapps that you have flashed. Please chose the correct gapps package relevant to your ROM and it will lock like a breeze.

Try a Sensed ROm without GAPPS

resolved!

It worked! I honestly didn't think since I flashed 3 different Roms without success (always with full wipe). With both maps and tuttocittanav (italian free offline nav) it took the signal in less than 20 seconds! The only problem I'm having is with OsmAnd navigator but It is the app.
I flashed the cm 10.2 and cm 11 both of jan 4 from Android1234567 (with ION mm). I also flashed 2 different MIUI versions (3.12.20 and 3.12.27).
As far as the GAPPS version I always download the one linked in the Rom thread post.
Thanks a lot!

For 2.3.4 (7.1.0 RC) and still Beta.
Friendly reminder that if you are using your own choice of radio / RIL that you will need to reflash the RIL zip.

Put the file on your SD Card and do it the same way how do you installed 7.0.2. Use CWM and select your file (Install .zip from SD-Card). Just install it without wiping or deleting anything. But do a nandroid before (CWM Backup)!
Hi, since there seem´s to be some issue´s with 7.0.3 (read on CyanogenMod.com/blog) can´t you release an update patch for only the security fix and the bug fix for the update notification system??
I´m on 7.0.0 and I´ve tried 7.0.2 & and it´s not working any good for me, so updating to 7.0.3 seem´s like a shot in the foot
Thanxs for any input..
Well i wonder where you guys get your RIL's from, i just can find RIL's that are only for Sense Roms based on Gingerbread.
@peste
Would you mind sharing your RIL you are actually using, cause im also from Germany and i would like to give your Radio a try.

I thing you missunderstand it ... 7.0.3 is without this notification bugs. Read the blog again.
An Another Question ...
At the moment i use 7.0.2 and this Radio: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2
I dont flash a RIL ... when i update to 7.0.3, can i flash a ril that is compatible with my Radio 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2? Or just flash 7.0.3 without a ril?
After the 7.0.2 release there was a Patch "use 2.2 htc ril" ... is this includet in 7.0.3? Or is it just in the nightlys that based on 2.3.4?
Regards

RIL's are not compulsory but are helpful to get the best results by matching the Radio. You can therefore flash CM7.0.3 but since CM7 will change the RIL to match the recommended radio you should then flash the correct RIL to match the Radio you are looking for which for 26.09.04.11 on CM7 ROM is 2.2.1003G.
There is a link to this RIL in my sig.

@Mr_JMM
thx mate, i allready flashed both. now i will test the new radio with RIL a bit
back to topic:
I have no problems with CM 7.0.3 so far, had a few issues like connecting my Device via USB with my computer made it reboot several times but after unchecking and checking USB Debugging again it is gone. Im also using Lord Clockan's Kernel v.3.1 to avoid the the Wifi-Error Bug. It feels not that snappy like it did with the newer Kernel on 7.0.0, but i will give it some time. SetCPU is installed, running onDemand min.230 max. 1228 and Screenoff Profile using Smartass with min. 122 and max 537. I also have no Issues with Video Playback like some people stated on the blog.
Let's see how it will be doing withing the next days

I don´t use this RIL anymore, now using the standard CM7 RIL again. Got only connection problems (call drops, signal loss) all 3 minutes. With standard RIL all seems to be good. On o2 Germany.
i think 7.0.3 is buttery smooth..and has improved lot of issues from the last rom.

[Q] Inverted GAPPS for Nexus S

Hey Everyone,
I am really excited to see that there is Inverted GAPPS that can be flashed; however, when I look through the forums I see them under everything other than Nexus S.
I have been following the thread at Rootz Wiki (XDA won't let me post link as I have not submitted enough threads), it is for the Galaxy Nexus, and am wondering if the inverted GAPPS here work for the Nexus S, seems I cannot find the right answer anywhere.
I am on Codename Android 1.4.0 with Matr1x kernel. Any advice or proper download and instructions links would be appreciated.
Cheers!
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-invertedtotally-inverted-apps-updated-2-16-google-reader-added/ most of these work for our nexus s i havent tried all of them though
Excellent! Yeah, thanks for the link. Can you tell me which ones worked for you? I'm hoping for Gmail, Email, Talk, Market and Calendar. Also, any special intructions on installing them? I read something about uninstalling updates....I'm not sure how to do that as I have never had to. Thanks in advance.
I should also mention that I flashed the new 404 GAPPS from Codename Android....is this an issue with the inverted GAPPS?

Codename Android 1.4.0 with Matr1x 16.5 kernel here. I've tried two different packages of of inverted gapps, and both seem to crash gmail. This thread* has a few pointers on getting them working, but between the new-to-me acronyms and the somewhat pigeony english, it's a little hard to understand.
Best I can guess is that you need to flash AOKP gapps, reboot, then flash the inverted apps one at a time (the multi-app pack seems to be more problematic).
That said, the ones I installed that work look absolutely phenomenal on the AMOLED screen.
* I'd post the link but the spam filter sez I need 8 posts to put up links. Suffice to say that if you google the phrase "page__st__760__p__478289", it should send you to the right place.

[DEV][05/04/12][new alpha3] xDEOS-CyanogenMod-9.0.0-UNOFFICIAL (v. 4.0.4 for U8150)

MOTIVATION
Welcome in the official thread of the project. This post is made to let discover you why this project is born. We are two universitary students that want more about a new branch of th IT Area, the Embedded OS Porting. We have a particular device, the HUAWEI IDEOS U8150, so our port is in this direction.
So don't ask to us why we are porting this version of Android with this device, because this project starts for educate ourself to the porting of Android OS, in particular we are oriented to port CyanogenMod ver 9. We made research to define a good porting for this device, so all the support ,moral, technical and economic(we need more RAM and CPU frequency) is really appreciated. We are also thinking to port, after this ROM Porting, the MIUI v4.
We work to create a stable ROM that could enjoy all great people that have this device. We think that newest releases of Android could run on this kind of mid-low level devices, so we make all the possible to complete this work.

Is there a way to get haptic feedback on the soft buttons?
May want to put on the first page how to install ICS gapps.

Cannot Install Custom Kernel

This is a strange problem that I only started to have once I installed Team Nekkid 7.2 RC dated 3/29.
I can flash the ROM no problem, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and I'm good to go without any issues. But if I flash the ROM, then either morfic or faux kernel, then gapps, when I go to wipe dalvik, all I get is a quick screen flash with no option to actually wipe dalvik.
I go back and wipe the overall cache completely, fix permissions, the reboot. I am now stuck at the morfic boot animation until i pull battery.
If i try to install a Faux kernel, same thing happens with dalvik, but gets stuck at the blue LG screen.
Once i battery pull and get back to CWM, i wipe everything, reflash ROM and gapps, wipe dalvik and fix permissions no problem and boot up into whatever ROM i choose.
EDIT: Went back and flashed Bionix 1.4.1 and was able to flash a Faux kernel and wipe dalvik. Booting up this ROM now.
I also have NO problem with ICS ROMS/kernels.
When you say NO PROBLEMS with ICS ROMs, does that include Google Maps and the stock browser working perfectly??
Which ICS ROMs have you tried? How is battery life?
Thanks!
Flash kernel last, and redownload the kernels!

I did all of that. I flashed the kernel before and after gapps but end up with the same result.
I have a feeling there is an issue with the CWM since I am constantly flashing roms/kernels and have never had these problems before. I'm at work so I cant use the Nvidia tool to flash CWM so I have to wait until I get home.

I usually just follow the instructions precisely by the OP. (Wiping/formatting, flashing rom, gapps, restart + let 10 min stand if required by OP) I have not installed another kernel that what the ROM has included. Should I try that? If yes, which one? I currently have EGB AOSP ICS 4.0.4

Short answer: yes, install a different ROM
Long answer: go to the developing section of the G2X forums and find out the info with the countless threads.

I've tried 3 different ICS roms and read hundreds of posts and found nothing that would fix the maps and browser issues. I guess I have to wait a bit more for the devs to work on them. Maybe the lack of drivers is the problem.

Look for Owain's Unnoficial Build 55 thread, and use Firefox browser, that is the most complete ICS ROM and Firefox doesnt have the rotation problem.

My main concern is Google Maps not working properly. I rely on it in my job a lot and can't have it blanking out on me like that.
I've tried the replacement solution for the stock browser - I installed Dolphin HD. I'll try Firefox, though. Haven't used that on a phone since I had the Nokia N900 - Ah, the good times when I still believed in Nokia
Thanks for your help!

If the maps shows up and then goes blank, simply close the map and re-open it.
I know the close/reopen "trick," but I thought there might be a ROM that just has the Gmaps working. If there's none I'll just wait. Is Owain's unofficial 55 based on 4.0.4 ? I'm also going through his thread now in hopes of finding it. I'll probably just flash and see then.

[FIX] CM10 alpha 4 kernel - signal fix

These kernels are for CyanogenMod 10 - Alpha 4.
The goal of these builds is to fix the issues with phone signal, which is not properly working with the stock kernel. Nothing was changes, no extra features, no nothing.
There won't be any more "development" now that the bug is fixed.
The experimental sync bug fix, as the name says, it's a new sync bug fix I was testing. It's here because it partially fixed the missing signal issue at first, but it's not the real fix.
Downloads:
kernel-cm-10-A4-signal_fix.zip: dhiru's kernel + signal fix [0001, 0002] - (previously known as V1)
kernel-cm-10-A4-signal_fix-exp.zip: experimental sync bug fix [0003, 0004] + signal fix [0001, 0002] - (previously known as V2)
kernel-cm-10-A4-restore.zip: stock alpha 4 kernel.
Note: I forgot to change the "name" of the kernel, so you'll get [email protected]_CM9. Don't worry, it's for CM10
Even though I marked V2 as experimental build and I added it as alternative choice, it's the most downloaded version.
As I reported several time ago, mobile data is maybe less stable with it and I think it's because the PDA state is controlled with early suspend instead of the regulr suspend, as it was in the old Samsung releases. In case of problems, flash V1.
If you noticed anything, please report
Source code:
android_kernel_samsung_latona at 0e84cc4896 + patches attached, applied as indicated above.
I verified that when a stock ROM is used, GPIO 126 is normally set to 0.
UPDATE

If you are stuck at Samsung splash screen and you are unable to reboot in recovery (I don't know why some users are facing this issue), so you are not able to flash another kernel or restore a backup, you can try to flash one of the kernels with ODIN.

kernel-cm-10-A4-restore-ODIN.tar: stock alpha 4 kernel.
Reboot in Download mode and flash as PDA.
Kernel modules are not included in the PDA. They are not necessary if you were using dhiru's CM with no custom kernels. If you are not sure, do as follows:
Flash kernel as PDA with ODIN (assuming you are stuck at Samsung splash screen and can't reboot in recovery)
Reboot in recovery (pull the battery if nothing works and use the three-keys combo)
Flash CyanogenMod 10 zip (your data will be preserved)
Flash once again kernel as PDA with ODIN

Update: Now I know what stock ROMs use (GPIO 126 = 0). I'll soon update the kernel.
I already wrote that this won't be a custom kernel, no extra features, overclock etc. I opened this thread simply to test a fix, that's why I opened it in the general section, even though the dev section would have been more appropriate.
I'm lazy, so read this post.
kernel V1: includes only the sec_get_param_value fix
kernel V2: includes both the first change (the reworked sync bug) and the sec_get_param_value fix

As I posted in dhiru's thread, with my kernel I catch the mobile signal faster than with the stock kernel. I don't have to wait, all I have to do is to turn off and then on the screen once.
I've recently done some changes to my kernel regarding the sync bug. So, suspecting those changes are what makes the difference, I applied the same changes to dhiru's kernel and built it.
I tried to reboot few times and there's really a difference, at least for me.
I suspect that with the stock kernel there are only issues in reporting the current intensity, because 3G and calls seem to work.

I don't know if battery life is affected, if the sync bug is really gone (no issues till now) or if there are issues with this kernel (I'm not using it. I only tested it for a few minutes). Flash at your own risk.
Don't report any bug in CM10 thread if you are using this kernel. Use the restore zip first, try to reproduce the bug and then report.
Question
Hi loSconosciuto, i have one question regard alpha 4. I have problem with signal too (as i posted in alpha 4 general thread) but i think it is beacuse my modem (LUBKPD) has been overwrite to DDLE1. Is there any posibility to create a flashable zip only to overwrite my (our, for those who live in south america and has the same problem). Sorry to ask you but i do not know what to do, cause my media storage don't get recognize and i can`t back to stock rom and no one reply my question in general, my phone is practically a stone, except for that moment when get signal (sms and calls only). Thank you!

I could, but I don't have LUBKPD modem.
All you have to do is to take modem.bin from the PDA of your ROM (as you may know, you can open it as a normal tar), copy it in /radio overwriting the existing one and reboot. Permissions will be automatically set on reboot.
If you want, here two (different) flashable zips I made for myself. You have to replace modem.bin inside of the zip with yours and then flash.
radio-cm-XXLE4-galaxysl-signed.zip (will erase /radio and then copy the modem)
radio-cm-KPU-galaxysl-noerase-signed.zip (will simply copy the modem)
Works perfectly. Thank you dear Sir :thumbup:

Ok, I think I almost fixed the problem. sec_get_param_value is an exported symbol defined in param.ko (yeah, brilliant...), but we don't use that module anymore in alpha4. The consequence is that the function that turns on the modem is never executed completely.
It still needs some improvements. switch_sel is never set or initialized, but at least the connection is immediately enstablished now. The problem is that I'm not sure which is the best option, so I'll wait for more opinions about it.
In the meanwhile I built two new kernels:
kernel V1: includes only the sec_get_param_value fix
kernel V2: includes both the first change (the reworked sync bug) and the sec_get_param_value fix
V2 is a little bit more "experimental".
OP updated with the new patch.

Maybe this is not the right place for this thread, but I opened it here because there won't be any development.
I flashed the V2 and I got the signal instantly after flashing

After i flashed with the CM10 alpha 4 the first problem i found the signla problem but thanks to your great hard work it was solved so easily and that too without any errors.
Request to Moderators Please move this thread to Developement or merge this post under the CM10 alpha 4 update
Well, flashed V2 and device is stuck at the initial Samsung screen. It won't even boot into recovery. Anybody face the same? My cousin is furious right now!

I wrote some of the original instructions on the i9003 forums, so procedure/method is not a problem here.
I think the issue is I flashed the v2 kernel over the ParanoidAndroid latest 2.54 Alpha4 assuming that as the base is this ROM, the kernel would work. But got a soft brick. Its all fine now, had to go through the whole KPE, LF2 process and now flashing CM10 Aplha4.
If you could just tell me if replacing the modem.bin from LF4 is enough for the signal issues or do I still need to flash the V2 kernel?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Flashed V2 but got a 2nd soft brick. Went through the whole process again () My signal and data are working but the indicator is greyed out.
resolved problems
I had problems relating to signal strength and storage.
Thanks and its now working perfectly.

I'm very well mate, you? :highfive:
Just been off the radar due to a choked studio schedule. I've been somewhat active on the One X forums though.
Cousin asked me to update his SL (passed on from me) and this happened last night. I'm not sure whether to flash the v2 kernel again as signal etc is working but the icon is all grey and it takes about 15 mins after a reboot to get signal. Don't have the time to go through the entire clean flash process all over again.
