[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I think they already included the correct file in v2. If you're already on V1 and don't want a wonky (IMO :)) kernel with ramdisk tweaks, then just flash this fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikef3j:
Perfect

Thank you!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prof.Kamil:
Great catch mate!

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xetas:
Much appreciated! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skaterpunk0187:
Does this fix the 5Ghz band too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yes. I think the two toro roms are already using the correct file now that I posted it, so you shouldn't need this unless you are on the first releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skaterpunk0187:
Yes it did work but i just updated to Team Liquid Vicious V2 thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njiki11:
will this work properly on the Sprint GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JSiNeM:
Anyone notice this fix changes your phone's MAC address? After flashing this fix, I couldn't reconnect to my WiFi for the life of me... Finally it dawned on me to check my phone's MAC address and my MAC filter on my router... Sure enough, my MAC changed!

Updated my MAC filter and was able to connect to my Wifi instantly.

EDIT: I just flashed a different Jellybean ROM and my MAC changed again... It may be the ROMs changing the MAC (?)....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You can take the same file from a stock Sprint ROM and it will probably have the correct settings for your device. This file just contains a config txt file that has Verizon in it a few times and allows wifi on toro to work properly. I'd imagine that there might be a Sprint-specific version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Is verizon gsm or cdma? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njiki11:
I don't think anyone has made one. Unless you want to make one, that would be great. So yes or no question will it work in my Sprint GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spimonkey34:
CDMA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I told you how to make it :-). I have no need to download a Sprint rom. Any stock or custom sprint rom should have the file you need. You can then just replace the Verizon file with Sprint version in the flashable zip.

You're welcome test if the Verizon version works. I have no way of knowing since I'm not with sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njiki11:
Alright so how do I do it? Please, I need help my WiFi isnt good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Op think you can do the same thing with Bluetooth?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yeah, there is a toro specific BT/Wifi file as well. Someone has tested it and said he thought it was better. I'll probably update the first post later tonight. If anyone else wants to test it, you can get it at the link below. Please report your findings if you use it. Thanks.

Fix now included in post 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Open a Sprint rom. Go to /system/etc/wifi (think that's right path, open fix zip to verify or extract entire rom and search for that file) . Get bcmdhd.cal. Open vzw wifi fix zip from post 1. Replace bcmdhd.cal in /system/etc/wifi with your sprint file. Flash away and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXPrOwLeRXx:
FIXED

Thanks this fixed the choppy audio I was getting on my samsung bluetooth headset
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I updated the OP with the BT fix and a fixed Mms.apk that allows you to receive videos and play them. With the GSM settings, all I got was a small thumbnail when trying to view MMS videos from the Messaging app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I'm able to send and receive them on my jb rom I built. Which one are you using? I would give the bamf version a try if I was going to use a rom someone else made.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
Would you mind elaborating on why? I'm asking because I'm currently on the other JB build now and am interested in rationale before going through setup on bamf one. Thanks, in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VinceT3:
Interesting.. I may have to give that a shot.. I'm running Vicious JB v2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purian23:
You are a true contributor to XDA and all of us using these devices!!

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanyonR:
This totally fixed my BT problems!

Thanks for all the great help with our adventures in Jelly bean land.

Canyon R
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
My main reasoning is because adrynalyne did the initial porting from the GSM Nandroid of jellybean. He always seems to know how verizon roms work and has helped me with a few problems. I don't think everyone is having problems sending mms on the various jb roms, so it may be something specific to your setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
Thanks for the feedback. Actually I am able to send and receive text messages with the stock MMS app. Haven't tried sending or receiving photos yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yeah, I messed up the multiquote in the xda app. :-) The last part was supposed to be directed to vincet3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christophermx4:
Any chance for something to help GPS? I'm on V2 with the stock JB kernel, and GPS takes forever to lock. I was running a modded 4.0.4 before JB, and my GPS used to lock on nearly instantly. Not so much anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blacklabel1783:
my GPS is a bust, too. tried to use it while in Durham today for the first time after installing JB. first, it never locked on, rebooted, then it locked, but never updated me on what turns to take.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christophermx4:
Well, you're not alone. I'm going to start combing the forums for some kind of solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anthony92170:
try using gps status in market i have and it locks now in about 30-45 seconds even if i reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXPrOwLeRXx:
Navigation issue

Any chance you can look at Navigation speak destination que and turn by turn audio level? The speak destination que has been intermittently detecting the BT mic and the turn by turn audio is a bit lower than the voice dialer prompts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuthPineApple:
Question - I don't know if you would be able to do this or if it is a completely different thing but I am looking to upgrade the bluetooth profiles for AVRCP 1.3 to get information to my headunit in my truck. I had this with AOKP but I am enjoying Jelly Bean too much to go back right now. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I updated the .zip with Verizon's version of sirfgps.conf. It's different than the GSM version. I've been using it and get GPS locks within a couple of seconds. I haven't tried the GSM version included with some of the jellybean ports, since well...it's for the gsm version :). Post if it helps you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazeco:
File not available for download...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuthPineApple:
Yeah - getting same error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psouza4:
Agree: 404 on the .zip now. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Anybody got a mirror or can you send me the file?

I'm getting...

404 - Not Found

anybody got the file to share?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] letrain02:
link is down. but xda seeks to be having some other linking problems within forum
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Ok, I put it on box.com as well.

https://www.box.com/s/09ecf64258dad928cd27
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] letrain02:
thanks you are a gentlemen and a scholar. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
I'm getting installation aborted in cwm (bad).

edit: nvm got it by downloading the link instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yeah, xda's attachments seem a little weird tonight. I've added the MD5 of the file that I tested with both TWRP and CWM to the first post now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
Ok I flashed this file and now when I enter maps or yelp or any other app that uses GPS, the icon on the left hand side that side that says searching for GPS doesn't even come on anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
I noticed that also..is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
My GPS still isn't locking though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
Right.. for me it seems like GPS is not turning on when an app demands it.

Edit: I reverted to old GPS file and now searching for GPS icon appears as it searches and when fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexto:
Anyone roaming for no reason. I'm roaming at home where I always get 1-2 bars of 4g. Roaming randomly around town too but my girlfriend's Verizon phone isn't roaming. Signal strength is good but can't update PRL via *228
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
How did you revert?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Thanks for the feedback. I've only tested it on my ROM and it works ok. I updated the first post with the gps fix as a separate thing to flash only for those that want to test it out.

You could take a look at this thread and see if it helps at all.

EDIT - you guys may want to try again. I messed up the updater-script and did not have it set the correct permissions for the sirfgps.conf file. That may have been what broke the gps in your cases. Make a backup or know how to restore just in case it doesn't work again.

You can pull the file from /system/vendor/etc/sirfgps.conf of the jellybean rom you flashed. Then you can either use a root explorer program and place it in that location on your phone and set permissions or you can put that file into the same location of the GPS Test Fix linked in post 1 (replacing the one that is there) and flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
I backed up the original sirfgps.conf file just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
Tried changing permissions manually and still a no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
Just flashed the updated file. Still no GPS lock or icon. I'm on vicious 3 and stock kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Still whacked

Mine is still off by almost a mile and it does not sync up no matter how much time given.

I did the replacement GPS.conf file a couple of days ago... it worked immediately and was back to borked by the next day.

Would anyone think that the changed GPS.conf file from a couple of days ago is stopping the MWalt2 fix?

Could a stock Verizon owner get me a copy of that file? PLEASE???

Now thanks to this thread my BT is fixed... I am so close to having my phone back to daily driver reliable but no GPS is a deal killer for sure... hate to lose JB, hate even more to have to start the setup procedure all over again.

Thank you in advance to anyone and everyone for any help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ClanLee:
The bluetooth/wifi/mms worked great, although I only tested the bluetooth. I don't use mms and wifi has been working fine for me on the Vicious V3 build.

When I tried the GPS fix, nothing would lock. Thankfully, I made backups of the original files and just renamed the sirfgps.conf file. Once I reverted to the original, I started to get the searching for gps in the notification bar.

I was searching around and found this on rootzwiki, it seems that there might be more than just one file that is affected by the GPS.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23738-fix-deep-sleep-gps-wakelock-google-wallet-for-liquid-smooth-13-link-fixed/page__st__40

Look at post 45. It talks about the differences between maguro (where this ROM originated) and toro.

It's late and I need to go to bed so maybe someone else can test it out. If no one has done it by tomorrow, I'll make backups and try it tomorrow.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
The GPS has pretty much been confirmed that it was the leap second. OP you may want to take it out of your mod now. Was working with someone last night and we found out your file is now breaking GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VinceT3:
I got into a bootloop and had to reinstall everything (same rom, hadn't downloaded the one suggested) and now everything works! Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chelper:
Thank you very much!!

I unzipped the file and used the fix for bluetooth. It worked great! Before I wasn't able to get more than 3 feet away from my phone and it would cut out. Now, I am back to 20+ feet. This was the only issue I was having with Jelly Bean. I am working at 100% now. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I don't know. The GPS file is different between gsm and cdma phones on stock roms and the cm9 roms. I've only ever used it with a clean rom install, do maybe it breaks it if not flashed with the rom. I'll stick to the version that is used for Verizon phones and update the op with more details later (and just post the file for anyone doing a clean install).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] computerpro3:
I'm not sure what on earth happened, but this actually broke my wifi - and nothing I can do is fixing it.

I was on the Vicious v3 jellybean rom and my wifi was actually working great - I flashed this app to get the bluetooth and GPS fixes (since it said it won't hurt anything if you flash it over pre-fixed files) and ever since my wifi absolutely will not connect for longer than a minute or so.

It's extremely frustrating - both 5ghz and 2.4ghz bands just drop and reconnect...drop and reconnect....drop and reconnect.

I even tried doing a superwipe and reverting back to AOKP ice cream sandwich and it's doing the same thing.

Is it possible that this messed up my hardware? How can I revert this to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcMaiden:
Hey guys I am a little confused here - there are 2 links for downloads - is the first link the fix with out the GPS?

and what is the verdict? Does this solve any GPS issues?

Edit - I did read through all the posts and am seeing mixed reviews
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuthPineApple:
All I know is I haven't flashed the GPS file yet, since I have been reading the comments from others, but my GPS still sucks and takes several minutes to lock on. Before the JB update within 5 seconds I would usually be locked on so I know something is amiss. I did the whole delete maps and redownload and still no go so looking for a solid fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spimonkey34:
I flashed the full fix with GPS and just finished navigating. It was perfect with a quick lock.

FYI, I flashed it several days after flashing the ROM. I didn't wipe anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] computerpro3:
I've resolved the problem of my completely broken wifi.

I did a complete wipe, went back to the V3 jellybean rom, flashed trinity kernel 1.8ghz, then flashed the wifi fix. Then I changed the channel on my 5ghz network and for some reason it worked. It makes absolutely 0 sense as it was the only 5ghz network in range according to wifi analyzer, but I've maintained connection for 100+ straight app downloads now and am pulling 42mbps down in the speed test.

Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Glad you got it back up and running. The Wi-Fi file in the fix has been included in vicious since v2 I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] computerpro3:
Yeah it's definitely fixed. Have been using it nonstop since that post and have had no problems. Strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
Thread cleaned.

Respect will get more help than the opposite

Thanks

FNM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Update...

I performed a dirty re flash of the ROM V3 and I am gtg... Finally!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerapl:
Same prob here. Its does switch from R to 4G. Am I gonna get charged for roaming? Any fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milly7:
Thanks mwalt. I dirty flashed this over viscious v3 mainly for the bluetooth fix, which was driving me crazy. Flashed the one that included the fix for everything with no ill effects. And I actually got an accurate gps lock inside my apartment while sitting on the couch lol (usually I have to stand by the window to test gps lock after flashing, and doing so with this mod it locked almost instantly)... Once again thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
How fast is the GPS lock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I get a lock of 10 m within about 4 or 5 seconds of opening Google maps inside on the main floor of my house. This is with it included when flashing and using the gsm GPS.conf. People are reporting good things by editing GPS.conf in /system/etc as outlined in the thread I linked on the op now (it adds settings more specific to north America).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christophermx4:
Did you add just the one line, or edit replace all of the text in the GPS.conf file? I tried copying and pasting all of the text into the GPS.conf file, and my phone got stuck on the splash screen when I rebooted.

I'm about ready to learn to live without GPS...hopefully, the GPS will work on my Nexus 7 once I get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xoxidine:
I used the Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 to put Jelly Bean on my phone. The GPS does not lock on at all, so I want to flash the fix posted in this thread, but I'm not sure how to do so.

I tried to find instructions on flashing fixes, but to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] admiralspark:
First, you guys definitely should NOT be using *228 on your phones---Verizon's 4G phones can have their PRL screwed up by this (causing you to "roam" even on Big Red's network). The 4g sim card will pull the newest PRL when it is pushed out to the phones. This is done for a reason...

Second, power the phone down, pull the battery and make sure its unplugged, then pull the 4G sim card out for a few seconds and reassemble. This will cause the SIM to pull the newest PRL that was pushed to the phones in your area.

Try that, and let us know how it works out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kentoe:
Is this pretty required for V3? I haven't seen anything out of the oridnary in terms of wifi or anything. Haven't given the GPS much a go ahead but is this something that would be mandatory? I.e. are you guys all flashing this over Team Liquid's V3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexs77:
No good for maguro

Dunno if that's known or understood, but it's not such a good idea, to install the original ZIP from the OP (ie. https://www.box.com/s/958f57a1bf409be3dea1) on a Maguro GSM GNex device.

I just did and now I no longer have WiFi nor 3G…

Let's hope, that re-flashing the RADIO from the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737849 fixes this… :)

Update:

Simply flashing the Radio didn't do the trick… Instead, I had to re-install the original files from the JellyBean ROM I had installed.

To fix, download http://pp.skwar.me/JB/UNDO-VZW_JB.4.1_WiFi_BT_MMS_Fixes.zip and flash it with ClockworkMod or whatever way you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apollyon0810:
What made you think it was going to work? Or did you simply not realize you were in the Verizon thread? Haha... thanks for the info though! People like you are the reason I know milk tastes so good. I would t have tried that ridiculous thing first!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I haven't looked. But as I said in the OP, I would assume they would incorporate them into their roms just like they did after I originally posted the wifi fix.

What made you think a fix in the CDMA Verizon forum would work for you? I'm glad you got it fixed, but it's in this forum for a reason. Mainly, the jellybean developer preview is for gsm devices. A few files have been added to make it work on the Verizon nexus. This fix contains a few more files that the initial roms did not have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kentoe:
That's what I had hoped as well, but I noticed that the Team Liquid OP had the link for this fix in the section for the V3 install links.

However, looking at the OP it says "What's working" MMS, WIFI is listed but none of the other fixes. I'm not sure if it's baked into V3 or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] admiralspark:
I flash Imoseyon's kernel over the JB flash. Imo is an excellent developer that went with the rest of the Thunderbolt developers to Rootzwiki.

His newest kernel version is 4.0, and I've had absolutely zero issues with the phone on V3 of this ROM with his kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
It works when included in the rom, but not when flashed separately. I use the file myself in my jelly bean rom with zero problems and have no problems with GPS. I mainly left it there so others could try to use it by putting it in the rom .zip before they flash. I haven't looked too much into it since jb source should hit aosp in a week or two and then we should be able to build a more proper rom for Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VivianC:
Got a strange problem after flashing. Anypost can't seem to post pictures for me anymore. I get a message saying invalid file type. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan5943:
I put your sirgps.conf in my rom with a clean install and it completely broke my gps. I copy and pasted the original back into the folder and my gps works again after a reboot and dalvik wipe. The other fix for the gps.conf edit did improve my gps lock speed though. So maybe it doesn't work on every rom. I'm using Vicious V1 with franco 216 kernel.

Thanks for all the fixes by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I think you may be completely right. I forgot that I included that file in my personal jelly bean rom, but did not put it into the 'fix'. Maybe both files need to go together in order for it to work (which is why the 'fix' I posted broke everyone's gps but mine...oops). I'll update the OP with another test fix and include gps.omap4.so, sirgps.conf, and the gps.conf from IMM76K for Verizon.

Using a quick binary comparison of CM9 for toro and maguro, I came up with the following differences between the ROMs that I based on moving things from Verizon IMM76K to the jelly bean maguro port.

\system\app\BIP.apk
\system\app\RTN.apk
\system\app\VZWAPNLib.apk
\system\app\VZWAPNService.apk
\system\etc\gps.conf
\system\etc\permissions\android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.vzwapnlib.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.hardware.lte.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.hardware.ehrpd.xml
\system\etc\wifi\bcmdhd.cal
\system\etc\apns-conf.xml
\system\etc\NOTICE.html.gz
\system\lib\hw\gps.omap4.so
\system\lib\lib_gsd4t.so
\system\vendor\etc\sirfgps.conf
\system\vendor\firmware\bcm4330.hcd
\system\vendor\lib\libsec-ril_lte.so

Thanks for the info and trying it on the clean rom install. I appreciate it. I'll put up another 'test' gps fix. I did put the gps.omap4.so from the verizon IMM76K ROM into my jelly bean ROM, but forgot that I did that until bencozzy mentioned it and I checked. That file is different between toro and maguro for roms running the same android version.

EDIT - New gps test fix is up. Back up those 4 files listed in OP, flash it, and let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renzo.olivares:
i forgot to post my gps fix but anyways the toro gps.omap4.so won't load if u just replace the module it is dependent on lib_gsd4t.so so it will fail to load so u need to include that as well BAM GPS fix :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Thanks JoelZ. I put that file in there too now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redflea:
I pushed gps.omap4.so and then flashed the fix zip before it was added and GPS is locking really quickly on my Toro Gnex.

So this looks good to me.

One weird thing - I may have been distracted by other things I was doing, but I think there wasn't a gps.omap4.so file in my /system/lib directory. When I went to copy the new one there, there wasn't an existing one to back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renzo.olivares:
weird shouldt have worked gps module failed to load for me in the logcat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryan5943:
Installed the new zip and everything seems good. I went outside opened gps compass map and connected to 9/9 satellites in about 5 seconds so seems great. I'll test it more with navigation tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thenewguy821:
Great work... 9/9 in about 5 sec. Looked at satellite image, was within feet of my location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] All4TheFam:
Both wifi and gps fixes worked for my phone, wifi signal is back where it was when i was on cm9, and GPS position locks in seconds, and nav connects immediately. Thank you so much for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
new Test GPS fix (7-7-12) worked amazingly!!! Locked in maps under 7 seconds! Indoors too

FINALLY THANK YOUUUUU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inkyeyes:
Newest Fix worked for me as well. Lock by the time google maps was on the screen, indoors too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
Finally a GPS fix that works :) amazing work
