GPS Issues

[tgc201]

Is anyone having issues with the GPS? The GPS on my "dinc" is not accurate at all. I have "use wireless networks" and "use GPS satellites" both checked. The GPS is not even accurate when I tried using the google maps navigation. It has become an annoyance and I can't figure out how to fix it. I installed VZ Navigator to see if that would work, but its saying my GPS is not even turned on when it is? Please help...Thank You


You see from the attached screen shots. According to the gps in the pics I was driving through woods and over water!?

This is the exact problem I'm having. Started a thread earlier today with pretty much the same question. No luck yet but trying.

for some reason "mock locations" was checked. I unchecked and rebooted but still no luck

im thinking about unrooting to see if the gps will work

There's already a nightly that came out right after RC3. Has anyone tried that to see if it resolved your GPS issue?

I just flashed to RC3 and then the nightly. On both builds GPS worked just as it was meant to:

Got to digging and found the baseband version 2.15.00.11.19 along with instructions on installing it here: [Radios] NEW Official Radio Thread - xda-developers This fixed my problem and gps is working great now. Special thanks to ucluglee for the screenshots. I didn't have to do the S-off stuff or MD5 calculator it talks about. If you go into hboot (vol down and pwr button when phone is off) it will say s-off or s-on. If it says s-off you're good to go. Also when I renamed the file at first it was PB31IMG.zip.zip. Make sure there is only one .zip at the end or it wont work. Hope this helps.
