[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
I noticed my GPS wasn't giving me a location when I was using Maps and it was giving me a location accuracy equal to cell tower accuracy. I triple checked that all location services were checked. I looked on these forums and tried updating my radio, updated to 2.15.10.05.06, and wiping my Dalvik cache. It still won't work, no GPS icon in the notifications bar, and GPS Status says GPS on, but no satellites in view.

Any suggestions?

Running latest stable CM7

Incredikernel

2.15.10.05.06 Radio

Rooted, S-Off

FIXED:

Flashed CM 7.1.0 RC1
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dadio91:
does it really say no satellites in view or you have satellites in view but not locked?

If its really no satellites in view then that's a new one for me (that almost sounds like a hardware issue). If you have plenty of satellites in view but its not locking up, go into GPS status tools and clear gps data. That trick works for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vash444:
I have a T-Mobile G2 that had this exact same problem. GPS would be very inaccurate (I assume it was using cell tower location even though GPS was "on" as well), the GPS status icon wouldn't show up on the notification bar, and GPS Status would never find any satellites. Deleting and downloading new GPS data through GPS Status had no effect.

Please bear in mind I have a G2 and not a Droid Incredible, but there was a post on the G2 boards about clearing the EFS data. I tried the fix and it worked for me.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028405

Now, I wouldn't follow the instructions in the link above since you have a different phone, but doing some research on how to clear the EFS or something similar for your specific model will probably get you a solution.

Be very careful, as mistyping the commands could result in a brick (at least with the G2/DZ).

Best of luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
Thanks, if anyone knows how to do this on the Incredible, that would help. I don't want to try the methods in the other thread since those are for a different phone.

Also, it says no GPS satellites in view or connected. I tried wiping GPS data from GPS Status, but that didn't help. Something interesting though, if I turn GPS off then on, it works for about 10 seconds, or at least until it gets a lock. Then the icon disappears and won't re-lock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
Does anyone know if this will work? http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Android/comments/fzqnc/evo_cyanogenmod_7_gps_fixprls_and_htc_sense/

Or this, for that matter: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18979-gps-issues/page__view__findpost__p__165194

This is the Gingerbread Sense leak for the upcoming OTA. I'm running this with the same radio you are and I get a GPS lock in 5-10 seconds. If neither Stock rom work for you then you may really have a hardware problem
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
The download on that page doesn't work.

I've done both options in GPS Status options, neither work.

I've also cleared any caches I can.

I'll try the Gingerbread leak and will update.

Thanks for all the help!

edit:

I get 000000 from MSL Reader. Is any of this the fault of my updated radio? I'm using the latest leak. Would downgrading to a less recent one possibly fix any of this?

edit 2:

I downgraded to the radio I was using when I upgraded to CM7. I still had no GPS signal, and 000000 for MSL. And typing in 000000 for the MSL code in stock 2.3 didn't work either (stock also gave 000000 for MSL). And GPS locks in stock.

So I'm back to square one, unless I can figure out my MSL. Could custom kernels be causing any interference also?

Here are some settings pages, if they help:

One last thing, has anyone had any luck with this app? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.epekware.gpsdoctor I'm hesitant to spend $2 if it won't help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GB15Packers:
When you say gps locks in stock, does that mean its working for you now?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GB15Packers:
Also that app sounds like it does the same thing as gps status, just clears the gps cache and downloads agps data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
It only works in stock. I want to be able to run CM7 and have it work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GB15Packers:
If that's the case then I would think it could be your kernel. Try using the kernel that comes with cm7
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
Do you know where to get the CM7 kernel?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GB15Packers:
I'm not sure. When I ran cyanogen and I wanted the original kernel I would just flash whatever version I currently had without wiping anything. You won't lose any data but you just have to re flash any theme you flashed before.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
Alright, I tried that, but it didn't work. I might just flash the leaked Sense Gingerbread and keep that, since GPS locked with it or try one of the CM7.1.0 RCs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
So unfortunately since I rely so much on GPS, I've flashed the leaked Sense Gingerbread and am going to use that until a fix comes along. Maybe I'll try one of the later CMs.

edit:

The latest CM 7.1.0 RC1 seems to play nice with my GPS. Thankfully.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackers8199:
what radio are you using? i was using the newest 05.06 radio with 7.1 and while my phone was sitting still on my desk gps had me moving anywhere between 0.5 and 1.5 mph...needless to say i went back to 7.0.3 (i don't want to upgrade to 7.1 til it's stable anyway, i use my phone too much to keep wiping and flashing new nightlies).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
I'm using the same radio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Sounds more like a radio issue than rom issue. I'd try the latest official radio 7.28.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
I tried an earlier radio and it still didn't work. However, the latest CM release seems to have fixed it. I am living happy with my non-stock rom and latest leaked Inc radio. Next, I'll flash Incredikernel... hopefully that's not causing the problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I don't think the kernel effects GPS. Didn't think the rom did either but I could be wrong.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieltobey:
I thought it was only the radio that could do that also, but I'm using the same radio and kernel with an updated rom. I have no clue why, but it's working now

Need thoughts on GPS - location svcs grayed out

This may be the wrong place to post, but best I could find. My location services are gray out with msg "Device admin has disabled this function due to service policy change". I'm really bummed by not having GPS running. Newly rooted HTC Incredible, neebie here needs assistance.

TIA, pjl

PS: add another anomoly to the mix. Google calendar updates on the Droid will not update to Google server; updataes added on the server are instantly updated on Droid. Something funny with the google settings? Or a bug in the Droid caused by rooting? I'm obsessively confused. Bad condition for a type A.

Another funny. The instant radar app changes it's time to CDT and I'm in EDT. It sometimes shows the correct time.

I would really like to get the 3D, since my Evo's battery is dying and it would presumably cost about to same to upgrade after trading in my Evo to sprint for $150.

So, if I am correct, I'll be able to trade in my Evo, and then use my $150 upgrade to basically get the 3D for $50?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've never done this before.

Previously in Froyo 2.2.x, I can play Youtube video inside browser.

However, after upgraded i9000 to GB 2.3.3, tried JVA, JVB, JVO, JVH, JVP.....

When youtube start buffering, the whole browser will be Kick Out !

Maybe you would say there is Youtube App we can use,

But there is no such problem in GalaxyS2, or other HTC android phone with 2.3.4

What's wrong with you samsung!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Did you install Flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johan8:
Actually all the i9000 GB rom has Flash built-in !

It is Flash 10.2, so I don't think I need to install it seperately.

And of coz I have updated to Flash 10.3

Any website with flash is working fine.

Except youtube in browser, during the youtube flash start buffering, it is kick out even the video is just 240p.

Did you try browse Youtube in the browser, and play youtube video inside the browser i/o youtube app ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johan8:
This is what I want to find out.

Yt-app, of coz it works fine.

But in browser flash video will be kick out, maybe it cause FC so kick out.

Yes, I'm using stock browser, only.

I use stock i9000 rom. JVH, JVP.....

And also fresh flash and full formated, no old data kept.

Could you tell me what rom you are using ?

You sure YT video play properly like this in stock browser ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Currently I'm using CM7 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) but I didn't have any problems with JVH, JVB and Froyo too.

Try this: Open stock browser -> *press menu button* -> More -> Settings -> Enable plug-ins -> Always on

and / -> Enable JavaScript

It HAS to work after this (but I'm not quite sure if this is responsible for YT working or not). ;)

I just tried it again -> no problems. Did you switch your user agent (if modded browser)? I used Android,IE6 and even iPhone.
[Milestone XT720 General] donallen:
I upgraded my xt720 to Dexter's Froyo 1.3 a few days ago and it is working well so far. The only issue I've found is that Fring, which worked marginally on the stock Android 2.1 system, now simply fails on every attempt to call, including the Fring test call. This is the case with my own wifi setup, which includes a firewall (yes, I opened the necessary ports to get Fring working with Android 2.1) and WPA, and on another completely open wifi setup with no firewall. No luck either way. Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have any bright ideas for a fix? This is far from a critical problem, but Fring is nice to have, when it works.
[Epic 4G General] CrfEpic4g:
If any of you are like me you like to play your own music while in your car well i went to wal-mart today and there was this thing called a fm transmitter it was 13 bucks so i gave it a try it works good i suggest you guys try it :D
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Depends if you can actually find an empty frequency. They used to work good years ago but the fcc neutered the transmitters since the stations were complaining it was causing static on nearby cars. The real reason is they wanted the users to get upset and just listen to the radio stations instead.

Either buy a deck that has a line in (best option...I use this one) or buy a transmitter that actually hooks into the antenna port of your factory deck and it shuts off the antenna and pumps the transmission straight into your factory decks antenna port.
[Epic 4G General] CrfEpic4g:
Hmm it works fine in georgia and 87.7 here is just straight static here so it wont interfere with no one
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
maybe it's just me but I thought FM transmitters were kinda a common knowledge thing.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Man I wish we could reverse engineer a way to pump it straight from our epics. That would be a hell of a phone feature. In the meantime I use a deck with bluetooth audio, the phone sees it as headphones though..

[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Some nokia's do. And the clarity depends on your area. You have to find a frequency that doesn't have a station on either side of it. DFW=99.9

[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Audio in threw 3.5m jack is, possible even without a aftermarket deck. Depending on the year of your car check the dealerships for options then search the part number on ebay. If aux ain't an option for your car you can modify your stock radio to accept aux in

I have the $13 one from Wal-Mart. It works great 99% of the time, which is good enough for me. In fact just took a 3 hour car ride with the family yesterday and there was only one time for about 10 seconds that we heard static. Don't expect cd quality sound, but it is acceptable.

[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
No, yeah it's most definitely common knowledge. I used to have to use one about 6 years ago before I had AUX-in in my car. I am somewhat of an audiophile and absolutely cannot stand fm transmitters. They are a decent option for someone that doesn't want to spend much money and doesn't have a tape deck or something (I prefer tape deck inputs over fm transmitters).

They are cool in concept, but just don't quite do it for me. I had a relatively strong one back then and after I installed an AUX-in into my car, I used it to broadcast music to all the stereo receivers in my house during parties. That was about the greatest use for it, for me. I have a 3 story house with receivers on all levels, so I'd just hook it up to my lap top and tune all the radios into the broadcast frequency and bam! Instant personal radio for the whole house. :D

EDIT:

Mystery is absolutely right. It is a pretty easy process if you have some know-how with car stereos/electronics in general. But these are typically a bit more expensive than an fm transmitter from wal mart. In my opinion, the sound improvement is worth it though. Thank god most new cars come with AUX-in and/or USB inputs pre-installed now-a-day though. My '09 altima coupe came stock with one.
