[Q]Any problems with GPS with rooted phone or custom rom?

---

Greetings folks. I'm a soon-to-be owner of a GS2 and I currently own an old Samsung Moment. One issue with rooting the moment, is that with the latest roms, the GPS is either not working or lost a significant amount of accuracy.

When I get my GS2 I'm planning on rooting it and putting on one of the delicious roms on offer here. My question is, has anyone experienced any issues with the GS2 GPS after rooting or applying one of the custom roms. This is a big deal for me as I travel a lot and would love to have great GSP functionality.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

GPS works great with both stock rooted and custom roms.

I had a Vibrant (Galaxy S) and it would only lock on outside and took about a minute. Now with the S2, it locks on in the house, and only takes about 10 secs to get a postion. Both stock and rooted.

my previous reply to the same topic here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...80&postcount=7

I have not had any issues before or after rooting my SGS2

No problems here...ROOTED on STOCK ROM

Hi, I rooted and GPS is not working now. No GPS icon visible at all, forget satellites being visible the GPS icon itself does not turn on by the looks of it. I should warn that its not clear that the problem was seen due to Rooting or happened already before as i brought the phone over from Japan and rooted to remove the SIM lock so wasn't using the GPS worked in UK till after rooting it. I had used the GPS in Japan and it worked fine.

I am inclined to think HW fault here due to number of forums on this with no solution and some warranty claims are just replacing without asking, if anyone has any other suggestion then do let me know ..

BTW: I have not changed any ROM's or reflashed, and also have cleared the cache using GPS status app, problem seems to be that GPS is not turning on at all.
