Running OMFGB 1.2.0.
Whenever I attempt to use Navigation, GPS locates me like it should, navigation begins then GPS is lost and never reconnects. Appears I am not the only one with this issue. Two others posted in actual OMFGB development thread, but no responses.
I really enjoy this ROM, but need to get GPS to work correctly.
Any ideas???

There was a GPS bug located in CyanogenMod that has been fixed in all of the CM7 ROMs, as fas as I know. This was also an issue with the Froyo CM6 ROMs (and, I think, even the Conap's Eclair CM5 ELB.) See this post in the GSB thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11377484&highlight=gps#post11377484
Anyway, try one of the CM7 ROMs instead, if you do a lot of Navigation.
Yeah this is a problem with both omgb and omfgb. note that the gps signal is not lost, but the navigation app stops communicating. I prefer omgb over cm7 because the exchange mail actually works. Unfortunately, the developer of these roms is not as responsive as some other devs. If you haven't tried gsb, I would. Everything but exchange mail works.

Edit - I tested a bit more. Gps status does not lose fix, but navigation and maps do after 5 or so.

I ended up going back to CM7. I really liked the default load of OMFGB. Didnt have to tweak all the screens and settings, but oh well. I got CM7 almost where I want it.
Thanks!
3 Different ROM GPS not working
I tried 3 different ROMS for gingerbread OMGB, Condemned CM7 and GingerTaz 27 and in all of them I cant get google maps and Osmand to connect to satelitte. It keep losing GPS connection after 2 minutes and never been able to reconnect.
everytime I flash the rom I did full wipe (data, cache and dalvik).
Is there any gingerbread Rom that I can try which has the GPS problem corrected ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
update: I flash GSB CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC0 the GPS working so far, however the phone a bit slugish

Similar experience here with several GB rom (by Tazz, CS, Mac & OMGB/OMFGB - GPS would usually start & work - but if I start driving away in NAV (within Car Mode or standalone, even in Map mode) - it will announced "GPS Signal loss .... screen display Searching GPS, etc." & won't regain functionality - even if I were to pull over and use GPS Tool to reset/download fresh datasets. I gave up - been careful & spending time doing a full SD wipe, clearing cache data & dalvik and checking/verifying all the steps - all of the developers are working hard on solutions & resolve the issues.
GSB seemed to be most reliable, V3.3 was excellent as I used it last week on a 3 hour freeway road trip and it never once lost signal/navigation - used it alongside the old trusty Garmin unit. Grabbed & flashed the latest V3.4 GSB release and it's just as good, if not better, for other minor fixes - not running the Super Charger script, bumped Performance setting up one notch to 710/480 and Boot reset, JIT off and everything else default. Using moderate ATK setting only - and I'm getting very good results overall on this GB custom ROM. Very responsive & I'm not going to push the speed any higher as it is excellent in my scoring of this "EOL" device with zero trade-in value to VZW, LOL.
Let's keep in mind that all of these GB roms are basically all work in progress, not exactly "Final Release" but seemed to be getting close to being declared a "finished product" ready for prime time, but GSB is my "biased" preference as a daily rom over the others.

try fasterfix (from the market) or the instantenous gps fixation
Note: In case you are sitting in a building in front of a computer and "testing" the GPS, then do not even bother.
i am also facing same issues even outdoors too. gps doesn't come up in the notification bar

I had that issue with the official 2.2.1. The fix is to remove the battery while the cel is still on, turn the power on without the battery, wait a few seconds, insert battery and power on again. Seems pathetic but worked for me and only needed to do it once. Try it. Good luck.
Thank you , lol no was testing outdoors

I've flashed the latest franco kernel(19.4 cfs) on an lg optimus 1 running cm 6.5.7 and gps doesn't get a fix anymore. Gpsfix finds satelits but gmaps and igo can't get a location.

Tried it like you said. gps fix and gps test find the satelites a lot faster( ultra fast!) but navigation apps like gmaps, igo, rmaps don't get a location. Any other sugestions would be very appreciated!
Finally solved. After trying "fix permissions" in CWM, I was forced to install another ROM(my choice: Void Forever) because all the apps started to FC. Now the GPS(together with the instant fix) works really nice! BTW, i got 2200 in quadrant(also installed Supercharger V6 and OC to 748 with SmartassV2 governor)!!! All in all, Void Forever fixed every thing. Big thanks to Knzo!
I'm having the same problem.
Right now I'm using the phone just for apps (no phone use as a "phone" possible), internet only through wifi. It was turned off for about a month (dead battery) after that no GPS fix whatsoever.
So, I'm curios, does phone has to be "activated" and have data turned on for AGPS/GPS?
In the past, I had exact same situation with HTC Inspire, as soon as I inserted sim card in it, GPS fixed in less then a second...
i was having similiar using and all i had to do was clear the google map cache.
my gps was showing up in the task bar.
Features:
V1.9.9
All major issues fixed like camera FC, Network reset and other problems (but needs to be confirmed by others)
Added Wireless tether application (Thanx to harald and other members)
custom kernel - FreeKernel-mod405N.2 - to improve incoming call volume.
For full brightness issues-Settings>Display settings>Advance mode(If u set automatic brightness on)>Use custom on and light level dim to 20(default)
How to install this ROM?
AS ALWAYS , INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING OF YOUR PHONE
DO NOT INSTALL BY CUSTOM.ZIP
1.Extract the contents of file to xrecovery/backup
2. Reboot into xRecovery
3.Factory Reset (Full wipe)

So are you basically including the signal reset app to "fix" data disconnects? It's great workaround but it is NOT a fix.

Hello mate.
Can you at least give a hint as to what changes you have made to fix the data issue?
Is it changes to some radio libraries, or dhcp modules or ramdisk perhaps...? Just want to know to make sure its not something that I have already tried in the past with no luck.
Thanks.

I was having problems with my GPS as well where it would not lock on no matter how long I waited. I did not have this problem when I first got my phone and I'm not sure when the bug was introduced. None of the software fixes worked for me, including the ones discussed here, and the problem persisted across all ROMS, including stock.
Finally I found someone in a forum that recommended removing the battery while the phone was on. I was hesitant to do this for obvious reasons, but my frusteration drove me to desparation and I tried it. To my surprise the GPS works good as ever and typically locks onto my location in less than 10 seconds. Obviously if you can get the software fix to work for you, this is better, but this was the only thing that worked for me. Hopefully this will help someone else.

What should the agps settings in gps.conf be set to?
I already set ATT=0 and used Faster Fix, but still locking/fixing is very slow, sometimes taking hours.
Could this have anything to do with my location? I am in China now, have unlocked the phone so using on a local carrier. Last time I was in the US (using it with ATT) it worked great.
Solved - SGH-I777 GPS fix
The sirfgps.conf ATT_NETWORK_OPERATOR=0 did nothing for me on my AT&T SGH-I777.
I got that GPS fix app and gps worked but its full of spam adverts that show on your notification bar. They appear with a star infront of the spam advert.
I fixed it the old fashion way. By remembering how I fixed my AT&T Galaxy I gps issue.
in /etc/sirfgps.conf leave att_network_operator=1
change, SSL_ENABLED=1
save and exit
in /etc/gps.conf change the following:
SUPL_HOST=www.spirent-ics.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
save and exit.
now I get 7 second gps lock in Miami Fl.

Hello,
I have a SG Ace with the CyanoGenMod 7.1 installed.
The GPS only gives the position sometimes. I have tried GMaps, Navigation, GPS test plus and GPS status and none of them work properly.
Actually, only Navigation has worked twice and when it does, the rest of apps work too (just for a limited time).
It takes ages to work and the problem is not finding the satellites since I detect (with GPS status and GPS test plus) 6 to 10 of them. It seems like it can't process the data and calculate the coordinates.
Any idea of what could be the problem? Have you heard of same problem in others SGA with CGM7? Any solution?
Thank you very much!
PD: I haven't tried the GPS with stock rom but since it has work twice with CGM7.1 and detects the satellites I think we can discard that the GPS is broken. It is more like bad configuration.
EDIT: when I download the A-GPS info I NEVER get a satellite. This maybe a symptom of something.

Now we have a problem. I have tried almost every trick and nothing worked. I can't believe we are the only people having this trouble, there must be someone else.
Does anyone know how the GPS works? What is the algorithm? We should be able to find where the problem is located.
My GPS can find the satellites (from 6 to 10) even inside of buildings (2-5) and have worked twice, only twice but it went okay. Usually, it doesn't give me the coordinates, as I said, this only happened twice.
I think the error could be related to the next step, once it has located the satellites, what does it have to do? Synchronise with the ntp servers?
Also we can try a personalized gps.conf config file because the others below haven't worked.
I hope someone understand the GPS process better than we do and can help us.
Thank you all.
I provided 2 sets of gps.conf and secgps.conf and both also didn't work for you?
My problem is similar.I can't get any satellites until I reboot.even after reboot, it doesn't lock even after having more than 10 satellites.I have to restart the GPS status a few times before it locks

I have tried almost every gps.conf in the forum and I haven't fixed the Ace yet.
However, I discovered two things:
1) If you reboot the phone with the "GPS Active" option ticked and reset the AGPS data (with GPS-Status) you always get locked.
2) When you get locked as I said in 1), it always refresh the coordinates once per 30 seconds (a normal GPS do it in once per second, checked with a stock galaxy s2).
The 30 seconds refreshing is very suspicious, like a wrong value in a configuration parameter. Any idea?
I think the problem is in the cyanogen, remember this is a ported mod from galaxy s to galaxy ace so it was not originally programmed for this phone.
Good information, I suspect it's due to cyanogen too. Can't wait for the official cyanogen. I hope it will fix the GPS issue. It's annoying sometimes....

So I just got back to stock, rooted and reinstalled apps, configs, etc.
I have something to say: if GPS doesn't work to anybody with CGM7.1, this MUST BE in the specification rom page because for many people (like me) the GPS related apps represent a high percentage of use. People should be warned about this issue in order to install or not the rom.
