this has been going on for a few months now, when i try to shut the phone down completely it just reboots itself. the only way to get it to turn completely off is by pulling the battery and leaving it out. as soon as i put the battery back in the phone it autoboots up. at first i thought this was a CM7 issue but in the past 2 days ive tested leedroids rom, honeysenceHD, and a few others and the phone still acts the same. its never been an issue but i would love to be able to turn the phone completely off if i ever needed to. someone suggested that its possible my bootloader is corrupted. is there any way to fix this issue?
This is a problem with the Advanced Power Manger, search for the fix.

ok well can someone point me in the direction to fix this problem.....search finds NOTHING for a fix
what apps do you have installed can you list them? They can sometimes cause problems...
Make sure "Fast boot" is UNchecked under Settings, Power.
i dont see a POWER sub menu in settings nor can i find Fast Boot.
apps are as follows
everything that comes stock with CM7
Battery Calibrator
Beautiful Widgets
COveroid
Dev Tools
DSPManager
FasterFix
Linpack
Quickboot- just to see if it would turn the phone off and it doesnt
setCPU but not using it currently
Spare Parts
thats about it a few of those apps i think are part of CM7 but im not sure
Look for fastboot in settings, applications.

theres nothing in applications that allows me to turn on or off FASTBOOT
ok so i was told theres no FASTBOOT option in CM7 so anyone else out there have any clue as to why my phone will not turn off and stay turned off when i power it down?

Well at this point, if you think that continuing to try other roms other than what you've already flashed won't help, you might just try flashing a completely stock image, with the stock hboot/recovery, etc., and see if indeed something went haywire with your bootloader, as you mentioned someone had suggested to you.
Try the RUU in the stickied thread, for example. The recent OTA ROM by Attn1 has the hboot removed from it so I don't think that would be a good choice for this attempt, because you want to get the stock bootloader back.
Now, I can't speak to the validity of that suggestion about the possible corrupt bootloader... I don't know either way whether or not that could be the cause, but if you wanted to at least try it, then my suggestion above would be the way to do it, I would think.
There would be no reason for it to continue to behave like this on a completely stock ROM, other than there being something defective with the phone itself.
It's a clockworkmod issue with daylight savings time. Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off.
"Change your date from automatic to a date before the time change (I just go to Jan) and your phone will shut off and stay off. "
i dont really understand what you mean by change it to a date/time before the time change. i turned off the auto time but dont see where your talking about with setting the date change
I wasn't going to try to help cause I didn't like yer tone. You could say please and thank you for peeps time..

Not sure if anyone has run into this yet, if so please share the fix. When selecting "power off" my Inspire 4G just reboots. I can no longer turn off my device. Thanks in advance for the help.

I stopped reading. But a search is easy on the thread. Google is your friend....
big ups for the useless reply but thanks anyways....CHEERS
oh and there was no tone, but whatever mr internet coolguy THUMBSUP to you. i wouldnt have made this thread if i didnt already search to see if anyone else has had this problem, and it seems noone else has. when the phone was flashed back to stock the problem stopped and as soon as i re-rooted it the problem started again

I just linked a guy with the same issue .. Yes its on another rom, but its the same issue....
Download the app....does it work? Problem solved if it does? Or don't.. i could not care less, my phone works normally......
it was a rom issue but guess u didnt read the thread to see that, that app is just another way to reboot your phone, i appreciate the effort but ive tried it many times and it boots/reboots the phone in the same manor the phone boots itself

so yeah you had a good point scott. i went ahead and got the phone all back to stock and problem solved, but its not what i want sadly. so i re-rooted the phone and immediately after the re-root i went to turn it off and there it goes again turning itself back on =(

So you have re-flashed to stock and the issue went away.
What rom are you flashing after root?
Did you check the MD5sum of the rom?
Have you tried a second rom?
Try just flashing to a stock rom like TCP;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982963
Edit, just read yer above post... None this is going to help. Lol
i havent tried flashing anything, i flashed it back to stock, rebooted worked fine. So i decided to just reroot it. its stil STOCK atm just rooted. its obvious that its a software issue id just love to know what and how to fix it.
When you're flashing to a new rom are you clearing all of your data every time? If not you might want to give it a shot when you try to flash to another rom.
I have the MIUI Freshly Squeezed but I can't get a GPS lock. I can't even get it. I tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me. Any ideas???

This always works for me on CM7.1. I know MIUI is based on CM, so it's worth a try.

You "tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me"..thank you soooo much for the detailed description of what that method was haha. There are a good amount of fixes out there for GPS and you provided nothing as to what you have actually tried so i'll just assume you did nothing and start at zero.
1. try Crypted's AGPS fix in the dev thread. It works.
2. if you're using a case and it covers the space between the flash and camera, take it off and try to get a lock either before or after using crypted's AGPS fix
3. try the other guys method above me.
4. buy a map.
forgot to mention
5. Go outside with your phone.
but yea as mentioned we need to has more details from you. How you rooted, how you flashed your rom
also you didnt restore any settings from a previous rom did you?
i was a noob over the weekend and restored wifi passwords that werent compatible and broke my wifi radio. had to wipe and reflash lmao. just making sure u didnt restore anything relating to maps or gps

Hey guys, this may be a noob question or answered elsewhere, but I've been searching everywhere for 2 days before asking. I have a sprint galaxy s5 and have flashed multiple builds of slimkat and am now running this latest version of cyanogenmod found at the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-android-4-4-4-t2850790
In every case, the GPS will show the large blue circle with an approximate idea of my location, but no lock, and while it can plan a route, once I start driving, the arrow does not follow me, and within a minute or so, the maps application will say "GPS Signal Lost." I've tried GPS fix apps from the market, and I've tried factory resetting / wiping and reflashing but to no avail. Is there anything else I can try, and suggestions for how to get GPS working? I'll answer any additional questions that you might have that can help lead to a solution.

If you have a backup of the stock Rom, restore it and get a gps lock. Then immediately goto recovery and restore the Rom you want and profit with a gps lock. Works for me on my S4 and now my S5.

So I just tried your solution, and I was able to get a GPS lock with the stock ROM, but no lock when I restored the cyanogenmod rom. Should I not have performed a wipe and just installed it dirty?

No wipe. If I can't get a lock with an aosp rom I backup that rom then restore my stock TouchWiz rom get a lock there and boot straight to recovery. Then just restore the rom you backed up and hopefully profit. Also try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps

i have a nexus 5 that is completely stock. I used to have it rooted but decided to go back to stock for lollipop. I am running android 5.1. Since I have had lollipop I have zero gps capability. I feel like I have read every thread on the subject and tried every suggestion, but I can never get the gps to lock.
I have tried the. Card stock gps antenna fix, didn't work.
I tried factory reset
I tried device only
I have used gps test and fix
I have used gps status and toolbox
I tried safe mode
I tried mapquest
Bottom line my gps doesn't work at all, it used to, but not anymore. Any ideas on what to do?
Same thing here and I also tried most of what you describe --- 5.1 (LMY47D), clean install (no OTA).
Select high accuracy
What does GPS status show? Flat lines for all satellites? What is the setting you're using for downloading the assistance data?
I used GPS Test and GPS Status -- here are two screenshots: i.imgur.com/o2B5QCk.png
Meanwhile I flashed LMY47I and re-installed everything from scratch. It still feels sluggish but now I can get at least a GPS fix after a couple seconds. Hope it stays this way.

The only solution seems to be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBpNtWvY454 (confirmed here)
I also tried several tricks and nothing works.
What is the easiest way to do a complete wipe and flash to the latest version of android to see if that will fix it?

Thanks for the tip...optimizing the gps.config file is something I have not doen. Can you provide speifics n how you go about doing that? I will try that before I wipe it and start fresh.

Until 'Extra Suggestion.....' I didn't try Leo AGPS Injector BTW.
I just wanted to update everyone...I wiped the phone clean and flashed the phone to the latest stock. GPS issues remained, so I rooted it and tried the GPS.config tip and it didn't help either. Then I downloaded FasterGPS and used it (basically does the same thing the GPS trick linked above does) and now it works again. It takes about a minute for it to lock so it isn't super fast to lock, but it works and I have not heard the GPS signal lost since I did FasterGPS.
Thanks for all the advice and suggestions.
Recently noticed my GPS was not functioning properly. Upon installing a GPS testing app, it shows that my pixel is 'seeing' the satellites, but not connecting to any of them, rendering gps useless.
I tried flashing the stock modem/radio image, but that did not help. I also tried removing and inserting sim, per some suggestions online.
I am on 7.1.1, rooted, TWRP installed.

Bump
Go outside and see if it locks. It can take 5-10 mins for a first time lock. The trick though, is go outside.

Are your time settings correct? The GPS.Cfg file provides time zone setting to GPS apps in order to ping proper satellites.

Yes, date/time should be correct.
I'm almost 100% positive my GPS worked fine before ever rooting and updating to 7.1.1. Not sure how exactly that process could've messed with my GPS, but it seems it did.
You can try the GPS Fix - GPS Test app from the Play store. This used to be a staple for us to fix GPS issues in deleting GPS cache and rebuild the GPS.conf file.

Just tried. Appears that my accuracy is still extremely low. Upon checking other gps testing app, phone still is not connecting to any visible satellites. (see attached images)
Also, could it have anything to do with which slot is currently active if radio/modem is slot-specific?

You can download the 7.1.1 stock image from the Google developers' site, extract it, edit the flash-all.bat file to remove the '-w' parameter, then run flash-all.bat with the phone in bootloader mode. That puts your device back to stock, unrooted, with data preserved. However, if your GPS issue is caused by a corrupted configuration, guess what, reflash stock isn't going to fix it.

Curious though how running flash-all would fix my issue. If I understand correctly, the only thing affecting GPS should be the radio img, which I already flashed to no avail.
Is it possible that the radio img was flashed to the slot that I'm not currently on?

Possible, but radio is radio. It's an image, it doesn't change when you rooted.
I still believe your GPS.conf file is messed up. Flash-all replaces this file in system/etc.
