Hello all,
I have noticed a small GPS lag on the Iolite (using Igo8 or Tomtom7). basically, the position shown on the phone is 50m behind the actual position when driving at normal speed.
Did you notice the same thing ?
Cheers,
koa

It´s normal, not a iolite-problem, on other devices too (I has an HTC Artemis with the same effect). In other forums like "gpspassion" the problem is knowen and fixed. Must use google, U will find some solutions.

Do you have a link? I searched gpspassion but could only find a thread about reading about this problem on xda-dev. Too much recursivity for me.

I was searched for you in google: http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=25428

Oh thanks, I thought there was a specific fix, but I will try these tips and see.
Is this problem solved? I wanna by Iolite, and don't want to have any problems with GPS.
BTW, is there any comparison between Iolite's gpsone module and sirfstar 3?
I'm also curious if these tips solved the problems.
My experience is that if I take a turn from the highway, my TomTom lost me for quit some time. It shows a map where I go halfway straight on and after some time it shows a "diagonal road". Looks like a drunk seaman.
After closing TT and restarting it's allright.
I think it's also time for a good firmware upgrade anyhow.
Hello everyone !
I'm a proud owner of an HTC Wildfire with Cyanogen 6.1.0 ROM.
But I have a problem, I don't think it's related to the rom because I had this problem before I flashed my phone.
So, no GPS software can get my position. (Copilot, OSMand...). i'm only using GPS, not aGPS.
I'm using "GPS test" from the market to see if any satelite is detected. And they are detected ! I get a good signal ! But...my GPS software keep saying that they can't get the position. I almost hear a laugh everytime.
Actuallty, it worked a couple of times before. Very randomly. I don't know why. But now...it never works...what's going on ?
Hello, had similar problem with some of the versions of Sygic, with other versions of Sygic it worked well. However Sygic kept crashing and therefor I removed them.
I recently installed Co-pilot 8.2.0.368 without problems.
Alternatively do a soft and hard reset (back-up all your data!).
Well i'm already using Copilot. It doesn't work. And i've done an hard reset twice. It still doesn't work.

I use CoPilot as well.
Does your GPS Test indicate there is a 3Dfix?
Because there needs to be atleast 3-4 satellites with a sufficient signal available.
Well, maybe that's the problem. GPS Test tells me that there are 7 Satellites in view but 0 in use and 0 in accuracy. I don't know if that's a clue.
Still, Everywhere I go, it's always the same. I've gone to places where I could manage to make it work once but it never worked again.
Could a damaged SD card cause this ?

Apparently where you are located there are enough satellites but you get no fix. And since you tried various GPS apps without success it seems like a hardware issue (gps chipset). Would contact HTC service.
Well it's fixed. I've reloaded a ROM manager backup and everything works now. I had already done that but it worked this time...I don't know why...
thanks for the help !
Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother with that, but i have an issue with my Galaxy Note 3 LTE, Cyanogen 11 M8.
Fresh install, everything wiped.
It seems that the GPS is fully down... GPS Status is unable to see or lock anything, Navigation freeze etc....
Maps is able to find my position, but only with network enabled.... if i disabled it... it is lost
In GPS Status, app stay "looking for GPS localization", and when a start an app that need the gps, the Gps Status appears a few second, with an "X".
I neved had this kind of issue, and i didn't find any clues over Internet (but i've seen people with the same issue)
I'm almost sure it was working in M7... i didn't use the gps since i upgrade the phone.
So, has anyone an idea about my problem ?
Many thanks
I had the same issue with the same configuration...
For me, it had to do with the 3G phone tower which appears not to be updated to certain parameters...
This happened when I was in a tiny village of the South West of the UK...
I then try the GPS in other cities, 50 miles away, and everything went back to normal...
I live in London, and travel abroad monthly; and no issues there also...
I would suggest to try your GPS in an other area...

Thanks,
I also live in a small city in France, i hope your solution will also work for me !
I will try tomorrow, in a "bigger city"
Unfortunately... i took my car and drive to be closer of a big city... no success.
It seams that the GPS is down... 'cause i launch some apps that give the signal received by the phone... and it appears that received absolutly nothing. (0, nada, the void)
I've tried to revert to M7 : no GPS at all.
Tried some gps.conf found on the forum : nothing.
It start to scare me, i hope the GPS is not "broken" (could i have killed the GPS antenna ?)
Anyway, i'm still looking for any clues or a way to check the GPS log.
Thanks

GPS connect has NOTHING to do with the SIZE of the city the only factor SHOULD be view of clear SKY.
I was going to say that GPS only works when you're outdoors. Trying to get a signal wont work when in your home etc
For info :
My GPS problem seems to be related to Android 4.4.4.
There's many people complaining that the GPS became innacurate or simply unavailable with this version.
And, it seems that the Cyanogen team has issues making the GPS work for Cyanogen 11 M9 (it's on the wiki).
Currently, there's no fix available. (for some people, rewrinting all APN worked, even if it's not related to GPS, etc etc etc... there's many solution available, but not working for everyone.)
Same issue here, prognosis for it should be posted here, Thx.
Hi Everyone,
If there's people following this thread, i'm still looking for a solution...
Here's all the thing i've tried, without success :
- Reinstall / change Modem
- Back to stock rom (GPS still not working)
- Format /system and reinstall
- Re-Partition
- NV Rebuild
Each time, it's the same thing : i start GPS Status, and i get the icon with the cross, and nothing happen.

Sometimes with Odin, sometimes with Clockwork... don't remember exactly
Each time, i was never able to get a GPS signal.
If you ODIN'd back to stock and GPS is still down on stock ROM, then you probably have a hardware issue. There is a GPS fix thread on the forum with pics of the hardware breakdown.
Hi everyone,
I can't explain what happened... but my GPS is back. hallelujah !
I saw this morning that the Cyanogen 11 M10 for the hlte (Galaxy Note 3) was available.
I update the Cyanogen i had installed (M9)... and test GPS right after that... nothing.
And then, i tested it tonight, the satellite dish appeared with the cross... but i was able to "touch" it with my finger : And then the icon dissapeared, and the new icon with the sattelite dish and the wave appeared and i saw GPS Signal !
I got a lock after a few sec.
Sorry guys, i don't have any answer about what happened, and how tthe GPS got back to work.
But anyway, thanks for the help !

Dang!!! I Wanted to sound smart. Lol. Jk, glad its working.
Hi guys
Bought this used note 3 recently. Some weeks after I bought it I noticed that my GPS was not positioning at all while I was driving, so I searched a lot and found that this model has a lot of gps problems. Since I got the cellphone with lolipop 5.0, I dont know if this issue is software or hardware related.
The wierd part is, using gps test, my device can see 30 satelites but wont use any one of them. I tried to get a fix for one hour and wont get it. I did this in an open space. I opened up my device, straighten the pins, checked the flex, and its everything ok in that department. Flashed stock rom again, flashed a custom rom, and still nothing. flashed back to stock and rebuilt the nv file, nohing... I'm cluess on what can be, since I tried anything. A-GPS is working since I get a positioning when I load google maps. (while using the gps while I drive, I cant get any fix)
I will post a print screen of gps test later since I have to go to work.
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance

Hello guys.
My gps has been working just fine till yesterday, today for some reason I'm getting gps signal lost every now and then on gmaps.
I tried undoing anything that I did the previous day that may have affected this and searched and read a lot of posts regarding bad gps, but I'm not really sure if it's fixed or not.
If anyone's been through this and fixed it somehow please let me know what you did!
Thanks everyone, have a nice day!
I end up flashing the device fron scratch and it seems to be working ok for now.
One weird thing is that I have like 40 sats in view but I only connect at 20 at best.
Navigation is working fine though.
