I have epxeirenced problems with the GPS ever since I went to these 2.2 ROMS. Kangerade 1.0, 1.1 and this 4.0.7 all have the same issues. If I am outside I can get locked on about 75% of the time, but I still get outages and if I slips it in a pocket (shirt, cargo shorts) it will disconnect. In my computer room it will refuse to get any signal at all and my 3G and phone signals dropout pretty bad too, something I never experienced with stock ROM from 2.0.1 to 2.1. I dont plan on travelling again soon but if I do I will have to go back to a 2.1 :(

I remember there was a 3G issue fix that Jrummy posted somewhere...
I have no issue with wifi 3G.
I went back to kangrade 1.1 with my backup and reflashed with 4.0.7 that fix my beautiful widget and on google map it did find my location.... Only thing i need to test out right nowis the navigation. When i set a destination, google maps keeps on saying searching for GPS.... I guess i have to drive around to find out if it work... but i'm still at work no cant find out right now. Everything else is working flawless

Only problem with this rom is that a couple of contacts pictures did not download from the Google cloud. There on my Google Contacts on the computer but for some reason did not download to the phone. That's never happened before.

I am having a problems with nex-theme version of the rom. Same as you, it just wont work. I had the same problem in going from BlackDroid 2.0 to 2.5. 2.0 it works fine, but 2.5 it wont work. I just dont understand what is going on. I'm glad I'm not alone but want to know what is wrong already, this is annoying.

I was running the Kangerade 4.0.7 Green theme, and having the same GPS issues as the OP. I just flashed back to BB v0.4, and it works fine on that build. I guess I'll try flashing back to Kangerade to see if it works, now.

So, I reflashed BB v0.4, and the GPS worked flawlessly with that build. Then I went and flashed Kangerade 4.0.7 (w/green theme) back, and the GPS became very lazy. It eventually found my location (after about 5 attempts). But 2 hours later, GPS is again unresponsive, whether in the house or out in the wide open with clear skies.

JRummy, if you can figure this out, I'm sure it would be GREATLY appreciated. I LOVE this ROM, but without GPS, I'll be resorting to another ROM. I use GPS too often to lose its functionality.
