[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 no or weak GSP signal - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I got some trouble with my navigation software. I did had the same problem past year too.
The problem is that my phone (Galaxy S2) can't get a GPS signal.
Phone modelnumber is: GT-I9100
I use a Beanstalk 4.4.2 (latest update)
Kernel version: 3.06.64-CMgb1c5069
CyanogenMod-version: BeanStalk-4.4.275-20140403-i9100
I've found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...s-patch-galaxy-s-ii-3-1-2-2-to-rapid-t1447599
but I couldn't figure out how to imply it.
Can anyone explain my how to fix my gps problem.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] GPS navigation jerky after flashing to Omega 16.2 (was fine in 4.0.4)

Hello all,
I am a newbie and I just recently rooted and flashed my SII (for the very first time) concretely to Omega v16.2 Jelly Bean 4.1.2. So far I am very happy with this ROM however I noticed that my GPS navigation software (Sygic) is very jerky (meaning the position arrow is not moving smoothly but it "jumps"). The very same version of Sygic did not have this issue in the original 4.0.4 ROM where I come from.
Any idea what could be causing it and how could I get rid of this jerkiness?
Thank you in advance for any comment.

Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Hmm this patch does seem to fix the problem indeed! Thank you
Does it mean that Omega 16.2 contains some different approach to GPS compared to the original 4.0.4?

GPS fix issues

Is anyone else having issues lately with their GPS lately? I'm having times where it takes >3 minutes to get a fix, whereas I used to get a fix in <15 seconds. And even when I get a fix, it's not very strong. I've tried the modification for the gps.conf file, but that hasn't helped.
This seems to be a problem that crops up occasionally on the I777. It also seems to be independent of firmware. Usually rebooting the phone will clear the problem, at least temporarily.
So, a couple of questions.
First, if you can, go back to the original gps.config.
If you reboot, can you get a quick lock immediately afterwards?
What firmware are you running? Stock un-rooted, stock rooted, or custom rom?

my SII has suddenly stopped taking a GPS fix and it has happned overnight.
can someone help me please...
using Cygna....
Any replies/leads on fixing the GPS issue?
So basically, noone with a solid reply on the GPS fix. Sure it is a known problem then that means dont use newer versions of Cyanogenmod or dont use it at all if you want to also be able to use GPS?
I have downloaded all possible programs to help with the GPS and I still I am only able to get signal by using WiFi (so basically just with cell phone towers).
Anyone with a solid idea on how to fix this?
thanks again

Wifi Issues !

Hi everyone,
You're my last chance ^^,
Got a Samsung Galaxy Alpha a few weeks ago, and since, my device don't want to find any Wi-fi Networks.
I tried to Add a Network manually, don't work either...
I used Kies 3.0 to upgrade it to Lollipop -> Problem not solved.
So, if you can tell me what should I do to make it work, i'll be very thanksful
Nobody ??
Flashed with a Stock Rom, with OzcanRom Aroma lollipop v5.0
The same problem -> No Wi-fi found...
Maybe its a hardware problem?
