I suspected that as well. Whenever I visit i9100 thread, I feel it is wild-wild-west. I don't know if most of people who are whining there are even at fully stock. Even at one point, codeworkx made a comment not to use scripts, like the clean up script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I have run multiple versions on stock kernel and after a full wipe all the way up to 8/3 and am still not getting locks. The problem seemed to begin around early July.

I am not one of these idiots who is running cm modified and complaining. Is there anything I can do in order to help diagnose the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Only thing I can think of is that it's somehow dependent on the modem.

1) What baseband version do you have?

2) If you put your device into airplane mode, and optionally turn wifi back on, does it change?

There was a period of time in early July when Privacy Guard resulted in screwy GPS on all devices, but that lasted only a few days and has been fixed since then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I am running UCMD8.

In airplane mode, with Wifi off, I got a 10 satellite lock in 8 seconds---wtf...? First time I've had a lock using default settings in a month.

Edit: I can't seem to replicate these results. With or without airplane mode, I'm back to flaky GPS. Sometimes I will get a lock after about 5 minutes, but most of the time, I can't get a lock, period. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
FYI, I have UCLL6 for the baseband and I haven't had GPS issue so you can probably try that out if you are using a different version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Still on UCKH7 here. ;)

Oh - and if you flash back to stock firmware, does it start working again? I sort of recall that on some devices, Samsung used really ****ty connectors for the GPS antenna. You might just have failing hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I just used GPS status and toolbox to get a 4/11 sat lock in 48 second (I'm assuming cold start because repeating the test right after gets 3/12 sat in 16 second)

This is while driving 60mph on a freeway.

This may be poor performance, but keep in mind GPS status isn't a real world application.

Maps (using all of the location information available rather than GPS only) gets a fix instantly, no blue circle of "where the **** am I?".

Also navigation has always worked perfectly for me.

I'm on 8/6 nightly (no mods or scripts or anything, just cm) with ucle5 modem.

I've used other modems too like ll6, and older ones. I have lots of issues with md8 though (reception and data connectivity)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
In my experience with a wide variety of GPS receivers and chipsets:

Attempting to get an initial lock while moving is one of the worst cases. I've had MANY standalone GPS receivers that would have endless trouble locking while driving until I hit a stop sign or stop light - BAM locked, and afterwards, once locked, no issues maintaining it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DeXel55:
I'm also having issues with GPS on CM. I flashed back to Samsung based ROM, and within 5 seconds it found 3 satellites and managed to lock (GPS Toolbox).

It is completely stock CM10.1 with its kernel. I'm going to reflash and report back in a few hours.

EDIT: Reflashing 8/4 build with a complete wipe didn't help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] othermark:
I can't believe I'm saying this, but it bears repeating. Android hides almost all errors and problems from the user interface. If you are experiencing problems look at the logcat first. I find catlog to be a great little app to help with this. Look for errors during your problem activities, you'll often find somet process or framework complaining even though nothing is presented externally to the user.

https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/Mv9kitKE246

For example just looking at my stock GE GS4, I see two unhandled framework stack traces just because I have location reporting turned off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcthomsonjr:
I can also confirm GPS problems, since at least 7/30 (which was my first full system/data wipe in some time). No indication of any errors or problems in logcat.

If anyone is willing to verify the problem, I'd suggest taking a backup and wiping data before flashing the latest nightly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Personally I don't consider 48 seconds cold start or 16 second hot start to be bad times.

And if its more difficult to get a lock while moving then those numbers are fantastic, I was on a freeway with no stops while testing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Wing2468:
Couple days ago we had an AMBER Alert in our area. The i777 still running 2.3.6 stock received the broadcast. However, the other i777 running CM10.1 7/28 nightly received nothing. Have anyone had cell broadcasts problem before? Thanks!

BTW, my Cell Broadcast settings are all checked except the two test broadcast which I believed are the default.

Compiled it myself earlier today. It booted fine, and I was able to make calls and send texts. The camera worked, but it wouldn't record video yet. Wifi worked well. I didn't test the GPS. There was some wonkyness in the browser too(the address bar would disappear occasionally). It did seem very smooth, as far as the UI goes. I didn't have time to test video playback, or anything else. It booted fine for me, but I feel hesitant posting it here, for fear that it could turn someones phone into a brick.

Running smoothly for me right now. Haven't found any issues yet with my most common apps.

EDIT: settings>developer options>root access>apps/or apps and ADB fixes root issues. Focal blows (reboot to fix camera). Play store, other camera apps, GPS/maps, Facebook, Ti Backup/Helium and other apps I have are working. I'm gonna let it run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spinergy02:
Prey crashed as soon as I punched in my unlock pin. Other than that it's running well.

Edit: focal crashed after taking the first picture then couldn't connect to the camera when I reopened the app. Also the icon for Wi-Fi and mobile signal are staying grey instead of changing to blue once getting a steady signal.

I have the same debate. 10.2/4.3 caused a lot of problems. Most Google apps have errors, but clearing data seems to help.

Having some odd graphics glitches where part/all of the screen turns black. When opening an email with com.android.email the whole screen, except the message area, turns black then most of the screen fills in properly after a couple seconds, but the email title stays black unless I touch it. Similar problem in Alarm Droid, though I can't get it to happen predictably right now, when setting the options the whole list of options would go black leaving just the ad at the bottom and the status bar and the alarm title at the top, if I scrolled through where the list would be it would show up, but then vanish again.

It appears that cm is getting rid of the camera app for the next nightly? Is that correct? Is Focal stable enough as a replacement?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
I noticed that too. GMail didn't disappear even though it was supposedly uninstalled. The other apps icons were gone from the home screen but they showed up in the app drawer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] liquid64:
I believe that is a problem with the new gapps package. Something about the addon.d script isn't backing up the gmail apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
I still can't use focal. It crashes when I try to take a picture. So no stock camera means I won't be updating unless someone can confirm focal is fixed.

EDIT

Another thought hit me, isn't the stock camera built into the gallery? So are you saying they are removing the code from the gallery apk? Or just hiding the icon? (Which could probably be launched from an activity in that case). Or replacing the stock camera code in the gallery apk with focal (which would no longer be a separate apk in that case)?

Another thing I noticed, it seems there are enhancements being made to the stock camera functionality (shown in the changelog for 8/17) which seems odd when they have focal on their hands.

Something wrong on your end. I pulled the apk from the latest nightly and installed it on my current non-CM ROM (slim 7.5) and it works just fine for pictures - did not try the other features. Nice looking camera, but I will not be using it since it does not give the option to save to external SD.

I did copy it into /system/app. Works side by side with the existing camera/gallery.

So what you're saying is you cannot confirm or invalidate anything because you're not even using cm?

I'm running official cm 10.2 nightlies (all of the 10.2 nightlies I've tried including today 8/17) official everything, no mods or tweaks, and I did a clean install (formatted /system and /data and /cache before flashing 8/14 and new gapps 8/13) and I can duplicate this problem.

every time I use focal (even after clearing focal's data) it let's me take one pic and then when I attempt to take a 2nd focal freezes and eventually force closes. And then the camera won't work with any app (stock or focal).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tedkunich:

It's used to ensure you're flashing on an I777. It's to try and, for example, prevent ****rocket users from hard bricking by flashing this.

No problems flashing from CM9. If you're having assert problems, you're either coming from a Hellraised I9100 firmware (known problem even for CM9) or you have a broken recovery because of a custom kernel.

Sensors missing will break autobrightness, compass, possibly orientation sensor, prox in phone calls, etc.
