Hi,

I've been using CM9 Nightly since the day I got my Galaxy S II (I9100XXLPS), because of the poor quality of Samsung's version of ICS.

CM9 works like a charm, except for the GPS, which works when it wants. Google Maps can't locate me, while the internal GPS is activated. Sometimes I've managed to make it work, by using GPS Status, clearing the GPS cache, downloading the assistance data, and moving the telephone around to find which position helps him acquire the satellites better (sometimes I have to hold it straight, sometimes I have to hold it with the screen facing the floor).

I'd like to know if this is a common problem with the nightlies, or if this could be due to some hardware failure.

I use the 20120522 nightly, but I've tried upgrading to the the latest (20120522), so I got back to the older version (in order to get all my settings back).

Thanks in advance for your help.
