I have been diligently searching for a thread to pop up along the lines of "GPS FIX" But I can't find any. I just wanna know if there is a definitive fix in the nightlies or not?
Not really. Some people are replacing their gps framework with one from an early nightly with generally working GPS. Other than that it seems different radios etc. Are having varying results.

Bad news here, I am on cm7 nightly 17, still without GPS( It worked only once).
The once worked method, which is replacing gps.vision.so from nightly #4 no longer works.

Yea this is how its been for several nightlies. GPS works on first reboot, but it doesn't work if you turn it off then back on again. I'm on #17 too.

This is the issue I had. I didnt mind replacing the gps.vision.so from Nightly #4 into the new Nightly's but now thats not even working on Nightly #17. It seems the GPS issue is getting progressively worse.
I'm on RC2 and was able to get my GPS working by flashing the latest AUS radio image (12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27). Before flashing it I was still on the old version from tmobile (12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15). After flashing the AUS radio image my GPS started working but I was having problems with the reliability and speed of my data connection, even standing less than 800' from a T-mobile tower I was getting 1.5Mb/s download at best and it would only come in bursts. At that point I flashed the T-mobile image (12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26) from the OTA update and my data problems were fixed, started getting a steady connection and 4Mb/s+ download standing in the exact same spot, AND my GPS was still working. I've rebooted my phone several times since then I used the GPS for about 2 hours strait yesterday so it seems to be persistent and stable.
I have found that if I leave my GPS ON before I flash a new nightly or ROM, that it works fine. I have only ran into the GPS issue a few times but that was because I had it off before I flashed a new build. Never messed switching RADIOs or anything.
Here is what I have done to fix issues:
-If I flashed a new CM7 Gingerbread ROM without GPS ON prior to the flash, I usually go back to CM6 and turn GPS ON and then reflash the CM7 ROM and it works.
-Yesterday had a strange issue though, I went to Flash a new CM7 nightly and sure enough I forgot to leave GPS ON. So I went back to CM6 and tried to turn GPS on and it didn't work. So I then Flashed one of the MIUI ROMs and that still didn't work. So then I tried Flashing the newest Nightly from CM again and it worked very wierd.
That has been my experience with this GPS issue. Some how I have managed to fix it myself without too much trouble. Hopefully this helps people with these issues.

This worked for me also. I backed up RC2 with gps on, flashed MIUI, and then restored and blam it worked! thanks, I needed this so badly.
I had this problem for a while as well. Flashing CM7 #3 did the trick for me. I downloaded a copy of xboarder56's stock GB test ROM today and I have to say it works flawlessly! Smooth and fast and with working GPS.

So from the input I gather that nightlies have not yet fixed the problem. Since I don't need the GPS until the summer I guess I can wait a month or two before searching again...
Gps works fine for me.

Fixed the GPS issue on CM7 by upgrading the radio:
Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17. It works just fine in the US.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OKYRIPQW
To flash radio you must have radio s-off using gfree.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
You need to downgrade to the stock kernel or CM 6.1.0 for gfree to work.
I'm not sure what the problem is either, but I decided to leave the GPS/Navigation running over one night. When I woke up, the GPS fixed itself. I haven't had a problem since then.
use these basic steps to try and fix the gps:

But does it work when you turn GPS on/off/on after rebooting? My GPS works fine after flashing a new radio till I turn it off and back on again.

A couple of weeks ago, my u8800 starts random rebooting(I had my u8800 several month ago), most of the time during sleep. It happens at least every day, some time every hour. I figure it has something to do with the mobile data connection, because if I turn data off, it won't reboot.
I tried to set network type to WCDMA preferred, GSM only, GSM auto, but it doesn't change so much. And I tried different ROMs, like Miui, Oxygen, CM7.1 beta, they all keep rebooting, of course I also tried stock rom
Any suggestion?

Better try to figure it out with stock ROM until it is stable. What was the last stock ROM that you have flashed?
I got similar random reboots when I was trying around with different kernels.

HK B153. Actually the whole reboot thing started from when I was using B153, then I flashed CM7, which was stable for at least one week. Then it starts again... then I tried other ROMs seeking a fix, but no help.
I will take your advice, return to stock tonight. Let's start all over again see what happens.

The PCCW B153? That ROM sucks Try a newer stock ROM like B138 or B137.
Any progress on finding the problem? having the same..
Fixme if i'm wrong, but whole random reboot stuff is i think android related..i mean some bug in android. Cause MANY different brands users complain about this. Don't think that this is hardware related. Windows creates log file after crashing... does Android do that?
Same problem
I've been having the same rebooting problem as well, across both oxygen and CM7, both using the franco.kernel. Do you think it could be a problem with the kernel? Or something else

I am basically having the same issues but one more thing I've noticed is when the phone is charging (either through USB or direct AC) it never reboots. In shrt it reboots when it's on 3g/2g and when not charging.
Could this be a hardware issue? And btw, when connected to wifi I have no such issues.
Can someone please post the stock kernel and ROM for this phone when it came out of the box?
I am currently running oxygen with franco's kernel (both updated to their latest versions)

This is strange. I haven't something like that neither with stock or custom roms(I have b138 as base and oxygen with franko's kernel). Are you sure that there isn't any app that causes the problem? I recently read somewhere that blackmart app can lead to randomly reboots cause with this you can download apps which are untrusted and maybe contain viruses.
Went back to B135 rom and no random reboots for 3 days...must've been something incompatible in oxygen ROM
I moved to B138, haven't had a reboot since, so perhaps it's a stock rom problem
I have Miui with franco.kernel and have same problem

Hello
I have been roaming around for like a year or so now without registering cause i didn't had any problems following stuffs from here. But now...i have like a huge problem with my Wifi and BT. Around 3 weeks ago i flashed the BeatMod ICS ROM and everything worked just fine...then one day my phone started freezing at lockscreen...like it would start up, but after pushing the power button to lock my phone it won't turn on anymore (except soft buttons)...Then i went back to stock 2.2, made S-OFF, then ENG-OFF and flashed a radio (i can't recall which one) cause i tought that was the problem...indeed that seemed to fix my lockscreen problem..but then once my phone stucked and i had to remove the battery so i could turn it off...it started to freeze at bootloader and at one point simply turned on...it seemed okay....everything worked...or at least that's what i thought until i got home and tried to turn WiFi on...it kept saying error...same with BT...i have no other problem with it except those 2...here is a logcat screenshot with what it says when trying to turn wifi on...any help is welcome
P.S: i love u guys xD xda rocks :]
Seems your radio is bad, either a bad flash or a bad radio. Did you check the MD5 before flashing it?
You might want to flash a different radio and see if it helps.
yeah i did check the md5 checksum, ummm i have no idea...i flashed another radio too but that didn't helped so i restored the phone using a 2.2 WWE stock rom from shipped roms or how it's that site called...hoping that everything will work fine, but it didn't , i might just try to flash a radio again and see if that helps. Thanks for your answer
You can check in the development part of the forum and get the latest radio
Put the .zip in the root of your SD, boot in recovery it should ask if yuo want to update
There you go, should solve your problem
i just tried that yesterday...same thing...and the errno i get from BT in logcat is 19 and the wifi driver thing persists...attachment below...
How do you have flashed the radio???

by ur screenshot i guess that u r still using ics. i had same problem with my wifi and bt. try latest ics rom and in last pages of ics thread is a patch regarding wifi problem apply that too. i hope it ll solve ur prob

Okay,
I would try another ROM, not ICS. If the other ROM works with WIFI, then will be the issue to ICS.

i went back to stock and then flashed various ROMs and i still have the same issue...oh and btw, my phone vibrates twice now before booting up the ROM, then when the ROM boots up it vibrates for the 3rd time....never happened like that until i flashed a radio for the first time...so idk...i think that most probably is a radio problem...and i have no idea what i could do to fix it...it's like over a month now without WiFi and it kinda kills me T_T

I'll try to keep this brief, but backstory is necessary.
Original Nexus 4 came in, bluetooth often would refuse to connect to paired devices without rebooting the phone (or power-cycling the other device oddly). This was on stock. Flashed AOKP milestone 2 at some point and problem persisted.
Original Nexus 4 data port broke, RMAed and got a new one (now with nipples!). Flashed the same AOKP milestone and whoa, bluetooth works wonderfully now. Always connects immediately, amazing!
Fast forward to yesterday, I flash the new AOKP 4.3 build along with a new radio at a knowledgable user's suggestions (filename radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.zip). I'm right back to where I started with bluetooth refusing to connect half the time. Now I KNOW it's not a hardware issue because it worked on this new Nexus until yesterday.
Is this a kernel issue or could it be the radio? Recommendations on what to flash to get my bluetooth working again?

Try reflashing the ROM with a data wipe. If the problem persists, then it's either a ROM issue, or your bluetooth chip is malfunctioning again (Which is improbable).
I was hoping perhaps someone would say "Oh that sounds like a radio issue. Just flash this one and you should be good."
Oh well, I guess I'll put up with it for now and do a factory wipe when AOKP releases a milestone 4.3 or something.

Bugs in nightly builds are very common. If you want to be sure, flash the stock rooted ROM, and check if the problem is a hardware one.
And yeah, the radio is most probably not causing any problems, since most of us use the latest one with no problems.

I was actually having this same problem with stock 4.2.2, CM10.1, and AOKP Milestone2 on the first phone. Didn't have the problem with AOKP Milestone2 on the new phone, but am now with the new 4.3 preview build. Really frustrating. Oh well, I'll keep flashing clean until it works. Thanks.
Hi guys.
I bought my Nexus 4 (after selling me old Galaxy S2) a few hours ago and I'm running into some issues.
Whenever I'm on a ROM that isn't Stock, my wifi or wifi + BT aren't working. The WiFi status is always 'Turning on wifi...' and never changes, and occasionally its the same for Bluetooth.
I've tried installing CM11, Carbon and AOKP, changing kernels, even flashing the stock radio to see if anything changes, but it all stays the same.
Another thing I've noticed (I don't know if it has anything to do with the WiFi, but it could be) is that on AOKP and on the Carbon, I can't click the top right button in the notification bar (the one that shows you all the toggles).
The thing is that whenever I flash back to Stock 4.4, everything is ok, and both the WiFi and BT are working as planned.
I'm actually clueless after trying anything I could think of. Does any of you have any idea what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, you have to flash older radio to enable wifi. Try version 84. Just flash the zip from CWM.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I noticed that a lot of my sensors are dead as well when not using a stock rom.
I've had nothing but Android devices for the past 4 years, but in this case, I don't know whether the radio solution can solve the problem, since it looks more like a Kernel issue, or am I wrong?
Isn't the radio supposed to affect only wifi and BT? What about the other sensors?
Will try that soon though, phone has 2% battery.

I'm having a similar issue. On nexus 4 phone with current stock ROM running 4.4.2, I tried Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 but wifi was always in trying to connect mode, never managed to turn it on/off. The same behavior is on miui ROM but on stock everything works fine!

If the custom roms you are using are based on 4.4.2 it may be a problem with the newer kernel. This article recommends flashing the 4.4 kernel as a possible fix.
