Hi guys.....I need your help. After flashing for the "100th" time my Omnia a couple of days ago I can't seem to be able to use my GPS anymore. So ....last ROM I flashed was OCK's 23118 Premium. I realised after a couple of hours that my GPS is no longer working. I tried TomTom, iGO, GpsGate , GPS Test and all that other stuff and I can't seem to find any sateliltes(it finds the gps hardware though). I tried to flash to some older rom's even steff195 latest rom but same thing. Actually with steff's rom I managed to see like 15 satellites but couldn't get a lock on any of them. Thing is....I suspect that TomTom and iGo were showing the satellites from the XTRA data and not actual satellites hence the no locking issue. I tried like 5 different roms from different chefs and no luck so far. I really could use some help since I kinda use the nav software a lot (even though it's kinda crappy). What do you guys think....is my GPS actually dead or is there something I can do to revive it?  Thanks a bunch

Yeah....that didn't work either. I'm guessing it's not a rom problem since I tried so many roms....some that I actually know they were working properly. So...anyone else got any other ideeas :(

Try flash it with Official Samsung Updater ROM...it should turn both WM & Radio part back to standard (and working), then flash your preferred custom ROM again (not that particular one), or perhaps flash your Radio ROM then flash custom ROM (if neccesary), but better try the official 1st
