Is that what's going on? Good catch. I was in a room where I got no signal, and saw that my WiFi appeared to be on. I thought amikam had somehow set the phone to enable WiFi when a data connection wasn't available. It makes more sense that the phone was just roaming, and the roaming icon is incorrectly displaying as WiFI.

Sabroso,
Thank you for your help but after reading every thread found here at ppcgeeks and XDA Developers regarding GPS issues the following was found:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1604823&postcount=3572

Actually Sabroso you replied in post 358 on this topic.

Scmasaru stated that adding the following to the registry resolves the issue:
For those who cannot get AGPS or My Location to work please check the Google Mobile Maps About page. If the second from the last line shows "myl: N/A", add the following reg keys:
Code:
HKLM\software\google\googlemaps
supports_extended_ril=1 (String Value)
supports_extended_wifi=1 (String Value)

Later Google maps versions fail to create the two items so myl stopped working. Before we did not have this problem because OMJ cooked in the GMM 3.2 which creates teh reg values. So for later versions we should always cook in the two reg keys to work around the problem.


It appears to be an issue with OMJ’s kitchen….
I am sure OMJ is working on resolving the issue.

Still getting zero satellites found but the map jumps to my location (very close maybe 100 feet) within seconds.


Amikam,
Can this be added to your next release?

[amikam]

HI JZR, Yeah you can easily confirm it (well you have to be in a roaming area for your number mobile first), Just when you see the "wifi ICON", Turn on WIFI and you will see double "wifi ICON". I guess it is a mistake for the original ".dll" file where ICONs are. Anyway did you notice if your Mobile get hot when you are roaming????

Shanep13, mmmm Again you have all the settings correctly set (which I was guessing was not),
Just to double check: After you manually update QuickGPS, and go to G-maps check that you have enable GPS (no "aGPS") and press the Blue square with the point, it actually say "Seeking GPS satellites (0)" instead of "You current location is temporarily unavailable"?????? mmmm than mean that you actually have all the service enable but for some reason your GPS ANTENA is not working.
Step One: Just a noob question but have you try in a undersky area (like a street, I mean not inside a building)??? (I guess GPS satellite are over the hole Earth, so it has to work anywhere with underSky direct view)
Step Two: Which radio are you using for what company, for example my radio is "Sprint Diamond v1.12.34F"?? have you update radio Lately????

Shanep13, By the way, just for the record you undestand the difference betwwen "aGPS" and "GPS"? "aGPS" don't use the antena of your GPS, is use the CDMA towers to triangle your position which can be 1000 to 100 meters accurate only, and the speed of updated is not the one need it for "Drive assistance".
Shanep13, I guess you have already discover that to make work "aGPS" in G-maps you have to disable GPS (I mean press "Turn Off GPS")??
Anyway, that is not a solution for your problem (I mean a real solution) so that i why I have not mention that before.
What I really concern is about why "Seeking GPS satellites (0)" find no Satellite,
because the "services are on", you have "local weather" fine, QuickGPS fine, and it actually say "Seeking for GPS Satellites", mmm I will wait for you answer but I'm ending my check list.
Anyway, The good thing of "aGPS" is that don't consume you battery as the "GPS antena", but the bad thing is that need "data conection" for work, so in an area where you don't have signal as a rural road you will have no "aGPS" working.
I have already ask AmiKAM to include that "aGPS" regedit in future ROMs,
also the one which make "Opera mobile 10" autorotate enable.

Yeah, that's what made me think that WiFi was on. My phone got really hot and burned through the battery from about 80% to 30% in about 15 minutes.

Hi JZR, Are you using the Daniel Herrero BandSwitch (autodisable data conection for save battery)??
did you have enable the "data conection" while you are in roaming???
If you have TIME or oportunity can you try to guess which are making HOT, for example: DISABLE Evdo, Disable Wifi of course, Disable Phone antena (airplane mode), Disable GPS, Disable USE data while you are in roaming, or whatever you image.
Thanks in advance.

mmmmm , AmiKAM You are a Workaholic????
Thanks for all the TIME you gift us!!!!!!!!
About the Slider: Nice look!!! , betther than all the Black ones or White ones that Dex2 point from other Theme developer.
Just some IDEAS:
1.- Since they are BLACK body, have you consider a White line or glow or shadow or something that help see the ICONs over a BLack background??
2.- Transparent Slider??
3.- Which will be the FRAME to recognize the selected TAB??
4.- I don't see the weather ICON, or just can't guess which one is? It is an umbrela?? (that one is very easy to recognize, sorry again my "nearsight eyes").
5.- HOw is the "Number notification" for SMS, EMAIL??

P.S.: Even we are addicted to your ROM, themes, etc remmember we are happy also if we know you also have success in your studies, life. Thanks again for all your amazing work.

I'm not using the BandSwitch app. Never even heard of it. I have an Activesync connection to an Exchange server using push email, so my data connection is always on (though not always transferring data). I've only been using this ROM for a couple of days, but I've only noticed the phone get hot that one time. When I have a low signal, and the phone drops from EVDO to 1x, it gets warmer, but not hot like that.

I've been pretty busy lately, so I don't have a lot of time to devote to troubleshooting right now, but I'll post anything that I find.
