After further testing through the night and into the morning, I think I have narrowed down the GPS issue. Some more observations to be added to the ones above:

When turning off Tasker, and then turning on GPS through the power widget OR the notification bar power widget, opening Maps and Navigations did NOT locate a GPS signal nor does a GPS icon show up in the notification bar.

When turning off Tasker, and then turning on GPS through the location settings menu ("Use GPS satellites"), GPS locks down instantly in Maps and Navigation and a GPS icon shows up in the notification bar.

When performing #1, and then #2 immediately after, GPS is fixed, locking down immediately.

Performing #2, even with "Use wireless networks" checked as well, GPS locks down immediately and functions properly.

These observations I believe show that the issue is related to how the GPS is turned on. The power widgets, both the on screen and notification bar, are not turning on GPS properly in order to function correctly. However, if you turn on GPS through the location settings menu, the GPS has no problem locking down and works.

I believe what I am seeing with Tasker auto-starting the GPS and not working properly is the same issue. Whatever Tasker is doing to try and start GPS when I start Maps and Navigation, it also is not turning on GPS properly for this CyanogenMod build.

So in conclusion, I don't believe the problem is with the GPS at all. It is with the power widgets. It would be nice if some people can test these observations as well to confirm this, but I really hope that this is the issue and we can finally solve it!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
After even further testing, there is clearly something wrong with the power widgets.

What I did lastly was re-flashed RC3 and wiped data and cache, to start fresh. I then performed the same tests as described above and the results were reproducible. So while I am not sure what is exactly wrong with the widgets, I think we can narrow down the problems to that.

A fix though to get your GPS working for the time being would be to shut off GPS through the power widget, then go into the location setting menu and turn on GPS there. From then on, as long as you don't turn GPS off, Maps, Navigation, and any app that uses GPS should work. Turning off the GPS through the power widget and turning it back on through the power widget will cause the GPS to not function properly again.

If you are worried about battery life, having the GPS always on, I don't believe (and I am not sure) that having the GPS toggled on necessarily causes battery drainage. The GPS should only use battery when it actually is in use in an app that uses it, hence when the GPS icon is in the notification bar.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
I keep trying the CM ROMs, but there always ends up being one deal breaker for me.

For RC3, USB file storage is broken (at least on Win7...haven't tested on any other OS). I attach the phone via USB, touch the on-screen button to enable USB file storage, and nothing....

I tried rebooting the phone and the PC, and no go. Works fine on the stock ROM. Back to that for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deviationer:
Yes I have the same issue. I either ignore it or unplug/plug the usb cable to get light back.

It would be nice to be able to use that LED for notifications (Like how the G1 is) instead of just the weak white glow of the trackpad.

Even better, use both at the same time.

I wouldn't blame the rom... I'M running win 7 and my usb storage works perfectly.

My gps has never failed on cm, sucks other people are having issues.

Battery life seems = to pershoots kernel. Can get 15 hours out of it with a lot of use and if I tried I could squeeze over 20+hours on moderate use.

Thanks again CM.

I love this rom I haven't noticed anything wrong. Except that sometimes when I open my browser I have to swip the screen to get the browser to pop up. Its been goin on since rc1. Other than that minor detail witch doesn't really affect me or bother me this rom is perfect. I hate how a lot of peopl are blameing this rom for their user error. Like the person above who can't mount to their computer via usb. Maybe its not the rom that's buggy maybe its windows 7. Maybe ur usb drive on ur computer is messed or maybe the cord is effed. Try to fix the problem and if everything fails then look at the rom.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
So after even MORE testing, this GPS issue is becoming even more frustrating.

After toggling off the properly working GPS through the power widget, even when going back into the location settings menu to toggle GPS back on, the GPS doesn't want to work properly. It takes multiple toggle off/on to get the GPS working again. Eventually, it will work again.

I don't know if this disproves my theory of the power widget toggling not turning GPS properly, but this is getting real frustrating trying to find a logical reason why the GPS is so buggy. I think we have ruled out many of the possibilities though. I hope my observations and testing helps you out, Cyanogen, to fix this problem once and for all.

GPS issue

For those having the GPS issue.

I never had the issue running the stock CM6.1-RC3 until I bought SetCPU and started messing with overclocking the phone. Since then I have had the issue twice. Both times I got the GPS to work by disabling GPS, going into SetCPU, putting the CPU top speed back to 806, enabling GPS and then launching Maps. Problem solved. After doing this I can up the max speed in SetCPU to whatever I want and the GPS works fine. I'm not sure why this has worked for me but it has. Hopefully it also works for you.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
It's called continuous autofocus. It uses the accelerometer to detect if you've stopped moving, then focuses. It was something that I coded, and got the idea from the Sense camera. Some people love it, some people hate it. Maybe you'll like the touch-to-focus mode better. I might add an option to use the old autofocus style. Also notice that you can change parameters and zoom while recording (except at 720p, some kind of issue with the DSP). The camera app is unique to CM and I'm constantly trying to improve it.

Huh, GPS is working flawless here.

During bootup, it seems like the Kineto stuff hammers the everloving **** out of the device for a bit, which can cause things to ANR. I'm going to try to remedy it.

The icon is actually showing you what data rate it's using. When you're not doing much, it'll say 3G meaning that it's clocked down to conserve power. When you start using bandwidth, it'll switch the radio up to HSPA. Stock ROMs don't show you this switchover, but it's 100% normal.

lovin this rom so far. i missed cyanogen :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KShatzkes:
And even MORE testing... So I tried out two of the ideas thrown out on the board.

The first thing I did was the uninstalling the Google Maps update, wiping of Dalvik cache in recovery, and then rebooting, installing the Google Maps update again, and trying the GPS. What I found was the same problem. If I tried to toggle the GPS on through the power widgets, the GPS would not work. However, if I toggled the GPS on through the location settings menu, the GPS worked flawlessly.

The second test was the idea that SetCPU is involved. As suggested, I lowered my maximum CPU clock back to 806 MhZ (I previously had it running at 1 GHz), then tried the GPS. Again, same result. GPS toggle through power widgets was a no-go, but location settings menu works.

The good news is that once the GPS starts working through the location settings menu, as long as you don't toggle it off, it will work flawlessly whenever you open an app that uses GPS.

I believe these observations may further prove my theory correct about the power widgets being broken for GPS. I cannot be for sure, but all signs and testing are pointing towards it. I think it may be worthwhile to look at.

UPDATE: I decided to run alogcat while doing the toggling of power widgets test and this is what error I found that may be causing the issue. I don't know this stuff well, and I don't even know if it is enough to fix the problem, but let me know if more is needed:

E/lib_locapi( 1509): loc_eng_ioctl result: client = 1, ioctl_type = 800, FAIL
E/lib_locapi( 1509): loc_eng_set_gps_lock: failed

This error occurs when I try to turn on the GPS through the power widget. It does not appear when I turn on the GPS through the location settings.
