GPS Issue - No longer seeing any Sat in Sky - Xiaomi Mi Note Pro

Hi Guys,
I'm still stuck on an old developer ROM android 5.0.1. (I really can't be bothered with the fuss of re-installing GAPPS and MIUI 8).
Issue is, GPS has always been flaky, but now it's not seeing any Sats in the sky at all.
Could this be an issue fixed by updating to a newer version of Android, or is my GPS Chip dead?
Thanks.

Probably something went messed up.
So, I would suggest, do a fresh install of a ROM. Any ROM... MIUI Dev / stable. Or AOSP Android 7. GPS works on all versions.

MIUI WiFi problem in my Milestone

I have problem on my Milestone with MIUI WiFi.
Every other ROM works just fine (connects immediately thorough WiFi with the internet). Unfortunately every version of MIUI don't
I tried 1.14, 1.21 v2, 1.21v2, even 1.26 chinese. All those versions doesn't want to connect via WiFi.
I've done 3x wipe before and after instaling MIUI.
I've installed MIUI from several ROMS, official + vulnerable, 2.2.1. GOT, 2.1
and always with the same result. WiFi won't connect.
There's short thread about it on xda involving different mobile and using clockworkmod recovery + rom manager, but it's not confirmed and it used to not work on Milestone. Could cause damage, so i droped tryin in that way.
Anyone got any idea why WiFi doesn't want to work in MIUI on my Milestone?
Is there any app tool to discover the cause of lack WiFi connection? Maybe i can run it on my MIUI and show to some dev who will now what certain logs mean ?

Sad you never got an answer to this one - right now I have the very same problem. Happened after the last Miui update.
I have nothing but hope it will get better with the next one.
I have the same problem. On newest version of MIUI (1.5.13), and the 1.5.6 was the same. On 1.4.29 everything was fine. Now wifi is connecting, getting IP, and nothing happens (disconecting)
help pls, anyone can find the fix? where to post this problem ? I dont know chinese
Is your router N? If so, try to change it to work as G only. This is the only way I can make CM7 connect properly with my router, unfortunately, perhaps this helps you guys.
my router is Linksys WRT54GC, wpa (not wpa2) personal, tkip, b/g (not n)
so I dont know if "g only" will help, normally on every rom there is no problem, but from MIUI 1.5.6 problems started. Strange that this happens not to everybody, but to some of us only.
I can confirm that the bug is MIUI related cause I don't have it in CM7 on my HD2.
Sadly I couldn't find any solution yet.
In my case it was caused by luca/froyomod's dsi fix update.zip which I applied on miui, whole radio (wifi + data) wasnt working properly after that. Now I do it manually, or using dsi fix for miui made by eyebee in his thread, and great rom by the way. It feels much snappier, and better multitasking, lots better than pure Miui. Feeyo's, luca's, zeppelinrox's tweaks and other applied by eyebee do the great job on this rom. Great alternative for cm7. Of course kabaldan does also great job. Ok, EOT

I'm expecting exactly the same problem at the moment. Have You solved this issue? I think it is MIUI connected becouse I am on SGS with the same issue.
Same for me on 1.7.29 version.
This version of MIUI caused me alot of trubble.
First i bricked the phone (like an noobie formated system and bootloader) okay some how i got it fixed. Then I installed 1 version older 1.9.30 which caused my phone keept restarting due wifi power on (after restoration with included app) now my phone keeps restarting again (after update) and im really not in mood atm for any thing =/ cant get my apps backedup since phone keeps restarting.
is there any way to disable wifi without booting into android?

GPS fixes once then stops

Hy, i have a problem with my Lg Optimus 2x GPS.
With any GPS software, the GPS is fixing only once in a few seconds to 6-10 satelites then stops. The gps sign that appears near signal disappears also.
Normally the gps sign flashes when searching for signal then stays on when is functional
If i want to use the gps i have to restart the phone. And GPS works great but only for one or two times.
Anybody else is having this problem ?
It's working just fine here with the ROM/kernel in my sig.
What ROM are you using? Were you having trouble before using that ROM? (I'm just trying to figure out if it might be software related or not, it normally is).
The problem appeared when i upgraded the OS to 2.3.4. (original from LG)
I don't have custom Rom.
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Compilation NR: GRJ22
Version : V20c
In my opinion you can try one of three different things:
You can try a factory reset, after backing up your apps (although I believe you need to have root access to backup your apps).
You can try downgrading to an older ROM again.
You can try flashing a decent (aka custom) ROM.
Installed cyanogen, Works great

Problem with GPS in non stock ROMS

Hi togehter,
I bought a Galaxy S3 Mini i8190N from an offer here in germany last month, the phone has a sim net lock. First of all I am experienced with flashing custom roms. But for my issue I never found any available topic.
I had no problem rooting the device and I can also install and run several custom roms, but for non stock roms I never see any satellites in view (GPS Test, GPS status & etc.) Everything else runs fine, WLAN, BT etc.
I tried to change the ntp pool settings to germany / europe, but this doesn't help (Faster fix, also manually system/etc/gps.conf).
In stock roms / custom stock roms GPS is working fine and I get a fast fix, I see a lot of satellites.
What I also tried:
Going back to orignal stock rom. Made a hard factory reset.
I tried flashing with Odin and also with TWRP v2.7.1.0 20140612, but this also does not fix the problem
Before installing non stock rom, I made a factory reset and deleted cache/system/davlik cache, but gps is never working. The symbol is appearing, if a app wants to access GPS and I also changed gps settings to high resolution.
Does anybody else have same problems?
Roms I tested Carbon, Omni, Slimrom, Cyanogenmod (MacLaw), I also tried Omnirom from goldenguy
I can provide more informations, if someone has an idea about it.

Update:
Hi together,
I again started to understand why GPS works fine in roms like R-Mod3 (Cutstom STOCK) and does not work for all kitkat roms >=4.4.2.
Enclosed you find the debug logs of google maps and gps test for omni-4.4.4-20140801-golden-HOMEMADE . In both apps I get errors in debugging. Can someone help me understand the problem here?
I guess it's a driver issue for android versions higher than stock rom.
Have you tried CM10.1?

GPS issue since nougat update

I face GPS issue (I mean that gps doesn't start at all) while using my phone with lte connection. I have no problem if using my phone with only 3g. I've tried everything but no solutions! This problem started with nougat MIUI update and nothing changed using every single rom whether MIUI or custom.
Is someone facing same issue? Are there any solution for that?
miui forum if full of posts of people with GPS problems with nougat rom and redmi 4x.
As you said, the only solutions seems to be:
1) use of 3G (or aereo mode) instead of 4G when you need GPS
2) install an older ROM with Marshmallow.

Question Device freezing in MIUI 13 all versions and variants

After updating to MIUI 13, I randomly have freezing issue (when scrolling tiktok, playing game, watching youtube, etc.) which sometimes fixes if I wait and the system shows notification of "The *app* stopped working" or something, and many other times I can only force reboot the phone (by holding the power botton until it reboots).
The issue never occured on MIUI 12, only on MIUI 13 from the first version untill now. So overtime I downgrade the ROM or change it to other variants such as global version (the issue also occurs in other country's variants of MIUI 13), hoping that the bug is fixed everytime there is a newer version of MIUI 13 of Indonesia but it's never been fixed.
I report many times through the feedback and service but they only suggest to keep the RAM and memory managed, and to charge the phone in time, which don't solve the issue since I have plenty of internal memory space available and use the phone the same when I'm on MIUI 12 (also how the hell do I charge it in time?!).
Does anyone have this issue as well? And how do you fix it other than to downgrade or to change to custom ROMs? Is it better to wait till MIUI 14 comes out than to downgrade it again? Sorry for my bad English.
i have the same issue though, I'm still hoping an update for this kinda issue because it's really annoying. I'm not sure for install custom rom will fix it, or it does.
I ever thought that downgrade is the only way to do, because when I use miui 12 I didn't get any of bugs and issues.

MIUI 13.0.8 just came out a few days ago for my region, but I won't upgrade it at least until MIUI 14 comes out.
Installing custom rom does fix it. I tried Pixel Experience once and never got the bug, but I didn't quite like the overall appereance so I decided to just downgrade it again to MIUI 12.5.5.
Yes. I have had this EXACT same issue, too. factory reset did not resolve. Redmi Note 9 Phone is all but useless now. Can use for a few minutes at a time, before it freezes. Miui 14 should be around the corner now, but I'm not hopeful.

MIUI 14 also does not resolve the issue for me, so downgrading is the only solution (not even MIUI 13 and 14 based custom rom fix it). But some people from RN10pro forum got it fixed after a few updates. Here are some suggestion I got from there:
1. Check if your SD card is dead, simply replace it or take it out.
2. Change your system to light mode.
3. Disable the memory extension.
Some people got it fixed after doing one of the above suggestions but not for me.
