LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI flashed MIUI 3.16 a week or two back and had no problems except the navigation wouldn't work. My location would be off by a few miles if not dead on but no turn by turn navigation.
I wiped data and cache and flashed a stock froyo rom. Same issue. I wiped data and cache and reverted to my last known point of working navi. Still hangs at finding gps.
Any ideas?

08-20-2011 06:46 PMMiui 3.16? That is from quite a while ago. Shouldn't have done anything to affect gps. My wife's phone will occassionally have the gps be off. Usually turning the gps off and back on and then allowing it a few minutes with clear view of the sky will correct it.
People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows.
If at first you don't succeed, paint it shiny white and put an Apple logo on it. You can make a fortune on upgrades.

08-20-2011 06:48 PMYea I wanted a froyo build instead of gb.
I've tried battery pulls toggling gps and wifi and I've downloaded those gps test apps from the market and my phone won't fix to a single satellite .... it shows 4 in the sky but no fix.
I really need navi for the upcoming week and idk what to do.

08-20-2011 08:06 PMJust for something to test, have you tried latest nightly from Cyanogen Mod 7? I know it is GB, but I am not sure what to recommend for you to try.

08-20-2011 09:38 PMNope I haven't ... I tend to shy away from gb seeing as it broke my market from ever auto restoring my apps it seems :/
I mean its worth a shot ... I didn't inted for this post to point the finger @ miui btw just figured you guys might have some insight or a workaround.
I googled the hell out of this and other phones have weird phone programming #s to call but all I can find for the droid is from 09 and its as simple as a battery pull or a reboot :/
