Google maps can't find my location it keeps saying temp. Unavailable therefore my weather app ( beautiful widgets) isn't working correctly either I have the official tmobile update running completely stock, I can't figure it out... my gps works fine but I'm inside a apt building surrounded by allot of trees so leaving the gps on is not a option( besides the fact that it's a battery eater) but I do have full 3G bars... any ideas cause I'm fresh out?
Did you try unchecking "Use GPS Satellites" under "settings"/"location and security"?
Yeah its already unchecked..I tried almost everything before I decided to post

Is "use wireless networks" checked?
Basically, there are only two methods for the phone to know where it is: The "Use wireless networks" method, which enables a coarse tower-based estimate, or the more precise fix by enabling the GPS. If both are disabled, there is no way for Google Maps or any other app to know where you are. Dunno which of these two values Beautiful Widgets is looking for.
Set yr beautiful Widget to a fixed place,
Or use wireless location
Wireless network is checked. This is not a beautiful widget problem but rather a google maps or location problem its showing that I'm at a place I was two days ago and when I try to go into maps and hit the find my location button it says location temporarily unavailable

Yes sometime the Google map remember yr old location, just uncheck both wireless and GPS and go into Google map again can erase that record
For the temp unavailable issue, it is yr GPS problem, did u update to the ji6? It fixed the GPS issue already
And one thing, the wireless location is a estimated location, so if u r using the 3g, it estimated the big area of yr 3g signal ( don't exactly know how to say)
but if u r using Wi-Fi, the estimated is based on yr Mac address so it is more accurate coz it knows where yr router is
Well my gps is fine I don't use it indoors because I live in a apt (no signal outdoors its fine) so its off and I have wireless checked so it uses tmobile 3g network to find my location.... and I have the update I guess I'm a anomaly

Try clearing google maps cache in settings/application

Anybody else have issues with gps signal? I've been in nyc for a week and haven't picked up signal once. Doesn't matter if I'm in a hotel, on the street or in central park. Then I have my buddy picking up gps perfectly on his ipad and I can do the same on my droid x.
Should gps work regardless on cellular data? I tried with various settings including airport mode with no luck. Very frustrating experience and I'm wondering if I got a defective unit.

Yes and no. If you are just trying to follow yourself then yes. If you are trying to search for stuff or get directions then no.

Sounds like a GPS a-gps thing.

Try downloading GPS Status & Toolbox by ECLIPSIM. You can watch along the bottom as it picks up satellite signals, one by one.
That should help you isolate the problem.
As bwcorvus says, the GPS only spits out your geographic location.
You need Internet access before any program can take those coordinates, place them on a map, and guide you to a new location.
What app are you trying to use the GPS with?
Google Maps and Navigation need internet access.
Apps like CoPilot do not.
I have bought SNS 9023 but GPS does not work can anybody help me.
take it back and get another one.
Actually the GPS works sometime but when I try this at home it does not lock the settalits

I've got the same problem.
If you are inside a building the GPS might not work!
Try flashing a custom rom, that did the trick for me. Now it takes a few seconds to lock onto satelites, or flash a new radio.
use wireless networks to help you lock position, settings > location & security
I have the problem too. Indoors it does Jack ****. Outside its fine. My xoom however does both, instantly.

Download and install the app GpsRestore from the market. It instantly fixed my issue. Make sure it's from Samsung.

I tried to find this app in the app market but it is not available there , then i downloaded it from net. But this app does not support nexus s .
I cannot get the GPS to work correctly on any ROM that I flash. It either never finds the GPS and says searching for signal or finds it and cuts out really quick and gets stuck on searching for signal.
Ever thought its a hardware problem and not software?

Which ROMs are you flashing? The only one I've had trouble with GPS has been CyanogenMod, but it's a known issue there that the GPS doesn't work right.

Download GPS status from the market. Hit menu then select tools. Open manage agps state. Click clear data. Then download agps data. See if you get a lock then.

I flashed the most recent kushdeck ROM and MIUI. With both I have the same problems with the GPS.

If that doesn't work, then try the CM7 GPS fix.
First make sure you are on a Sense ROM.
Get your MSL using the MSL reader app from the market.
Open your dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#
When it asks for a password, enter your MSL and then your phone will reboot.

@kd0... I drove truck for 15 years!!
I always use GPS Status, but with Miks, I connect to all my Sats in seconds!
For o2-UK. Does our phone support it? Does the swiftdroid asis rom use it? How do we know if we are connected to it?
Yes it does and yes swiftdroid does support that band if you have any problems with internet try setting the access points manually o2 should be able to give you the details for them there will be to one for mms and pxt one for internet
Best of luck and check back in if you get stuck
