[T-Mobile LG G2x] slowpig38:
so this is my 3rd G2X, my first was a horrible rebooter so i exchanged it for a second, which was pretty good but i could never get the GPS to work. so i just got my 3rd g2x sent to me, and everything was working, including GPS. Then i downloaded GPS status and toolbox. when i opened the app it told me GPS assistance downloaded, and from then on my GPS won't work. i tried a factory reset and it is still broken, so i think i have found the cause of the problem. Anyone agree?

also is there a fix, or do i need to get a 4th g2x sent to me?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I have GPS status on my G2X and my GPS works perfect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
You, sir, should work as a journalist. What a wonderfully sensationalist headline!

'This is the absolute truth!! I think...'

Why would an app that a lot of us don't use be the cause of such a widespread problem?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dougstoner:
Man, there is no need to be rude. He is just trying to figure out what is going on with his gps.

Slowpig, I highly doubt it's the program making the gps nonfunctional. You have several options though. You could try rooting and flash EaglesBlood (froyo) and see what that does. I like it a lot better than the stock, and everything works just fine. Also, try searching before you post, as there about a million gps fix threads. Here are a few I found doing a quick search....

[T-Mobile LG G2x] slowpig38:
before you guys go off calling me retarded, know that this is my 3rd g2x and my second one ahd a faulty gps, and i tried all of the fixes on the forum to fix it. when i aquired my new one it worked out of the box, but after the instalation of the app in question it stopped. when i went into the hidden menu and deleted all aiding data it worked perfectly again. see why i might be led to my conclusion? it mightve been a bit rushed, but i was very upset that my brand new G2X's gps had suddenly stopped working after only an hour of use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
If that is the reason then can you explain why I have those apps on my G2X and the GPS still works better than any other GPS I've ever used?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slowpig38:
It seems its just random, some g2xs have problems while others don't. Its just poor QC by LG

Are you not getting a lock at all, or is it just taking FOREVER to get a lock. There was a fix I flashed for mine (mine took forever to lock), and now mine locks almost instantly! I'll try to see if I can search and find the thread, but the thread had different files to flash with cwr and each had it's own region. (ie south east, west coast, etc).

This is my third G2X and all have had gps issues. Currently I applied the download fix (southeast region fix) last night and I saw an immediate transformation. Very quick locks and much improved accuracy.Unfortunately this morning I am back to either no locks or locks after 30 seconds to 5 minutes and the accuracy is horrible. Right now where last night I got almost instantaneous locks and 16 to 39 ft accuracy I am getting very very slow locks and 37209 ft accuracy. I was elated last night but now I am as confused as ever. I have tried every gps fix I can get my hands on and I am right back where I started.:confused::confused::(

Mine works pretty well. Glad a factory reset fixed your problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] evilgrim:
Agreed!

I love my android phone but coming from an Iphone 3gs to a vibrant to a g2x. The phone(s) on paper are Superior to Iphone (specs are amazing and way faster) But apples qc is far superior to lgs and sammys I hate waiting over 7 months for an os upgrade so they can bloat it up with crap, What I hate even more is when you spend your hard earned cash on a phone that looks amazing, and a standard feature (GPS) don't work. Despite apples ass raping when it comes to hardware and its lack of software features(android is an will always be king) They put out solid phones (other than that iPhone 4 antennagate crap). Androids strength and most detrimental weakness is its partners. Google Does not get that if a person is disappointed over and over they will jump ship! This is my second disappointment after my vibrant (GPS not working correctly). But i'm quick to forgive, others are not... If I were a regular customer and not a geek who loves tech and i switched from Ios (iphone) to android (vibrant, G2x) and had all these issues screen bleed, gps,freezing etc. id switch back after the first week, and androids image would be tarnished.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
I'm freaking out. I was running Leedroid and switched to Coredroid. I did a nandroid backup like I always do and now I'm trying to restore back to Leedroid and it doesn't do a full restore. Pretty much everything is gone. PLEEEEEEEEASE someone help me. I can't even download stuff from the market. I'm so frustrated! :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
I would try restoring my phone to stock and then attempt to restore leedroid..

also do you make sure you restore phone back to factory and wipe dalvik cache?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
will do thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Or u could try reset data/cache (factory reset) in CWM console, and clear out dalvik cache, and then restoring ur backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
I went and got a new phone today. I was able to "unroot" it and get a new one. I'm rooting it as I type using the Simple One Click method. I should be able to just use my nandroid back up then to get back the the Leedroid rom right? I think what may have happened is I didn't do a ext4 whipe when I went from Leedroid 2.x to 3.x so when I went to switch back from Coredroid which uses ext4 it got messed up. Maybe?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
As far as I know, not all ROMs support EXT4. So be careful when flashing a ROM that does not support EXT4 on ur phone if ur /data is etx4 formatted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Oh yeah for sure I understand that. How do you switch between ext4 and ext3? Does using titanium backup work between the two? As in I flashed an ext3 rom backed up my apps using TB and then flashed an ext4 rom. Would I be able to use the Titanium backup at that point?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
TiBu:

Since Tibu backs up apps and data, and not any file system related info, you should be able to backup and restore using it. It worked for me when moving between ROMs since I got my Inspire, and I didnt' format my /data to EXT4 on my early ROMs.

But nandroid might not work. I tried I think when I got my phone a couple weeks back to restore data and it came back with MD5 check failed.

EXT4:

1. Going into CWM and resetting to factory formats data and cache partitions. This should be getting it into the default file system (I think this should be RFS, but not sure, and definitely not EXT4).

2. I have a script that can be used to format data partition into EXT4 (got it from Android Revolution 5.1.x ROM thread). I run it when I know the ROM supports EXT4, but does not do it when installing ROM.

E.g., Android Revolution 5.1.x supports data as EXT4, but does not do it.

Gingerbeast 2.1.x supports EXT4, and auto converts too.

I am attaching the script to this post. Copy it onto ur SD, and run the steps in sequence mentioned below.

1. Get into recovery

2. Factory reset (formats /data and /cache)

3. Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced menu)

4. Run the script attached to this post (optional, and needed only if ROM does not auto convert)

5. Install ROM of ur choice

6. Reboot
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Ok great so it must have messed up the phone while doing the nandroid restore then. When I did the TB I do remember it coming back with errors for a lot of things. Could that be because it was running Sense 3.0 vs 2.3 (the backup was done on 2.3)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
The way I see it, Sense is an optional set of components over base android, and has nothing to do with TiBu. The ROM I have on now doesn't have any traces of Sense :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Hmm and it backs up/restores just fine?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
Ok so I just rooted my new inspire and the boot logo is something completely different when I restored from my nandroid backup. Can these back ups become currupt? The only thing I want from this back are my texts and one of my apps everything else is fine without.

Okay, I have successfully made Rosie do 5x5 and 4x5.

5x5 is what I wanted, but then every single widget would have to be edited to look right. - No.

4x5 lets the 4 column widgets work, and adds an extra row of icons to every screen. Only problem is, since each square of screen space is reduced to add the extra row, the last few lines of a widget are lost.

See attached 4x5 shot.

I know if I can remove some padding around the workspace screen, each cell would grow a little. I just can't find where to do it, and my fingers are getting numb from building and pushing the apk.

Does anybody know what padding settings I need to reduce to allow icon/widget cells to grow?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] gadget!:
I done the same thing with the incredible when I had it.

There is a way to accomplish this but you are still going to have to edit the individual widgets to fit in the smaller space.

It's been a while but it's a pretty simple edit.

The main widgets that need to be changed are the clock, the calendar, and the people widget.

Sent from my B.A.M.F. Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dsb9938:
Yeah, I've been down that road. I'm trying to avoid it though.

If I can recover enough space by removing the padding I shouldn't have to.

Just something I'll have to play with till I get it right I guess.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amoskas:
I'll write here what I wrote in another thread, I think it can be a solution for you as well:

Try booting to normal mode, then connect the device to the computer as a removable disk (or connect your sdcard to the computer with an sdcard to usb adapter)

After that, put on your sdcard the recovery update.zip found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969076

after that, boot in recovery. press vol-up + power and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"

Then you'll get a CWM recovery menu where you can install any ROM (should put the ROM on the sdcard ofcrouse), and that saves you from running step2.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Ok, I need help troubleshooting/fixing my GPS.

Here is what is going on. I got the Vibrant when it first came out, I had the normal GPS problems as everyone else. Once Samsung released the GPS update, I applied it, and my GPS worked (as good as it could).

So everything was cool, until I installed KB1, my GPS died, never locked onto sats. So today I just tried istalling KB5 through Kies to see if this would resolve my issue. NOPE, GPS is still dead.

Next, I installed Rooted and deodexed KB5. My GPS is still dead. I have run Samsung's GPSRESTORE app, but it gets stuck on "Position FIX" and tells me to move to open sky and try again. I AM STANDING OUTSIDE.

My GPS DID WORK PRIOR TO UPDATING TO KB1, THEN DIED when I installed KB1. Something happend when I installed KB1.

My GPS is completely dead.

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant General] nacron:
Try hardware fix, your GPS antenna might not even be connected inside.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I don't think my issue is related to the GPS antenna. I say this because my GPS did work, but instantly went dead when I updated to KB1.

Clearly the two are connected, something happened after I installed KB1, unrelated to the antenna.
[Vibrant General] DontJoinTheDarkSide:
try flashing a custom rom. Seems like you've only tried the stock roms with broken gps. Look in the development section for the plethora of gps healthy roms.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Do the custom roms use a modified modem other than the one the stock uses? The dev went into kb5 modem and modified it?

Otherwise it should give the same result, if the modems are the same. No?
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
What happens if you ODIN to original firmware and then update to JI6 build which is 2.1 eclair ? Test it with this setup and check your gps under clear sky.

Next, try connecting to wifi and opening google maps. Also, do you have a dedicated gps app like copilot installed? Try opening that
