So anyone else having issues with gps on Superclean 2.6? I had the gps on with navigation for 3 hours today to see if it would ever connect and nothing >.<. Any ideas?
Allowing Google Locations to connect in GPS settings or something like that. Also make sure to turn on the actual GPS (just making sure..). After turning it on, wait a about 10sec-1min then open up Google Maps. Should automatically detect your phone.
I did that and still nothing. That's what I did before too.

I recommend trying GPS Aids in Android Market.
slacker, go into settings --> location & security and turn on "standalone GPS services" in that menu. accept the "warning" and then your GPS will work, and turn off/on on the notification bar w/o issue.
If you reboot the phone with the gps off you'll have to repeat this process again for it to work.
It's a bug in EB01 that I noted a while back.
Well I tried it countless times... still nothing. Anyone else have an idea?

Try getting just gps from market. I make sure I have NONE of boxes checked and gps turned off. I then start just gps. It tells me I have to enable. It takes me to that checkbox screen. I enable standalone gps then hit the back key until I'm back in just gps. In a matter of seconds I'm locked to 5 or more sats.
I seem to have problems when I just enable all the gps stuff and then turn it on from drop down bar. I can do all that and then open maps or latitude and it doesn't work. When I start it like I recommend I can then go to maps or latitude with no problems.

I don't see an app called just gps I see gps test and gps status. With GPS test I get to 3 seen sats in about 4 seconds but then nothing it just doesn't progress past that.
You didn't mention your firmware version. I was having trouble getting a GPS lock on the EA28 firmware using SC 2.6. I would have to reboot the phone with the GPS turned on, and then once it was turned off it would not work any more. I updated to the EB01 firmware on Friday and have had no issues getting a GPS lock since then.
I am also using eb01 running super clean 2.8 non voodoo. Locked on this morning to 9 in like 5 seconds coming to work.

The GPS on my Fascinate never really worked that well, but ever since installing custom ROMs and whatnot, the GPS doesn't work, period.
I started with Superclean. No GPS.
I moved over to Blackhole. Still no GPS.
No matter how long I leave it on, I get nothing. It's really frustrating that such a useful feature doesn't work at all. At least with the stock ROM it could get a lock... after 15 minutes. Is there anything that can be done?

yes flash one of the powerwash roms...gps works great!
Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like to install Powerwash I would have to Odin a ROM, which means losing all my apps, texts, etc. I guess I could pay $6 for Titanium Backup but I don't really want to do that (or will the free version work).
Then again it might be worth it to have working GPS.
The free version will work for what you are doing. The premium version allows you to freeze apps and bloatware instead of uninstalling it, which can cause force closes on certain apk files.
Long as your on a rfs based rom you can flash pw ed05 in cwm. Just wipe cache and dalvik. Pw eh09 is the odin only version.
Okay I'm willing to give it a try, if it'll get my GPS to work.
I'll try flashing PW ED05 over Blackhole and see how that goes. Backing up right now just in case.
If it screws things up I'll try the EH09 beta version. Gotta Odin anyway at that point.

Tried that before. Didn't really do anything as far as I can tell. Battery still drains incredibly quickly, especially if I am streaming anything over 3G incl. audio w/ the screen off. 40% an hour, at least.
I'm thinking of getting one of those extended batteries, like that Naztech one. Sure it'll make the phone thicker, but it would be more than worth it to have a phone that can make it through the day (and be able to actually use it).

Got excited after updating to JI6 this afternoon and the GPS locked on with 10 seconds, however tonight I went on a drive and the GPS wouldn't lock on after minutes. Finally gave up and rebooted which resolved the problem.
I'm also seeing some issues with the GPS being off by 100's of feet which is causing maps to reroute. Seems like mainly when stopped at a signal light.
Hopefully rebooting solved the first issue, but I not happy that there is still problems with GPS after waiting 2 months for a fix
Also the LAG seems worse. LAG needs to be the next top priority
That's a drag man, sorry to hear that. Maybe consider installing a custom ROM? I'm running Bionix 1.4, no lagfix because I'm getting zero lag. Rooting and flashing was very quick and my phone is now very responsive.
GPS is still hit or miss, but it's mostly hit and overall is working much better.
To be honest flashing this ROM has improved my phone ten fold.
Maybe give it a try. Just a thought, and sorry again to hear about your issues.
fix: flash (clockwork) "Vibrant-JI2-GPS.zip"
ji6 gps BLOWSSSSS
enter *#3214789650# and switch to MSmode, This solved the accuracy problem for me on JI6.
I don't know why samsung insists on seting Standalone mode for the GPS, Swiching to MSmode was the first thing we did to fix the GPS months ago.

Very strange. My phone is significantly faster, even better than before with OCLF. No stuttering at all.
Bionix 1.7 is the answer to your woes
Did you **** with any of the GPS settings prior to updating?
My GPS is working great, tracking, navigation and all. Lag? What lag?
Also, why did you think this topic deserved another thread? We already have one on this topic.. thanks.
Is anyone seeing their GPS just start wondering off? I'll be setting perfectly still and the GPS will start jumping in one direction by 100+ yards each time and it'll keep going, like yesterday I ended up over 200 miles away from where I actually was. Oh and instead of being on the street it has me in parking lots and fields. Not seeing the fix on my end.
It's working like a charm for me after JI6 !!!
GPS is fine for me and even better after enabling agps
For some reason agps is disabled by default.
Can you guys tell me your exact settings on the LbsTestMode? Not just the usual ms-mode/ supl.google.com/ 7276.. I need to know all the settings you have cos I messed with mine and want it back to stock
No problem here
I must be lucky, I am using Frankin Twiz final and a simple fix and i have 5-7 sats locks and 10-15 m accuracy. From all the reading...... depending on how you customized your phone, it seems to me that you have to customize the gps fix as well, as I see no absolute fix by anyone that works for all.
GPS
I got the update. The GPS worked for awhile but now it doesn't lock in. What's the best way to solve the problem?
Yes I have the same issue. I also noticed that when at a stoplight the gps will drift which causes maps to recaculate routes.

Preface: I was rooted with lagfix using OCLF. Prior to the OTA, I unrooted & uninstalled lagfix. My phone got locked up in Vibrant/Samsung screen during the OTA installtion like many others.
I used Odin to return the phone to stock, then download & flashed the JI6 file using Odin. GPS, compass, Task Manager, HD Camcorder, Youtube HD, Media Hub, etc are working fine ... however, no USB icon.

He's got at least VZW location services on due to the massive blue circle, which uses cellular triangulation. Wifi can get you a smaller circle, but doesn't work as well as GPS.
My phone has been totally unable to get a GPS lock for quite a while (since upgrading to EB01 based roms, but even on DI01 and DJ05 it was incredibly pathetic), even with updating the A-GPS data and having VZW & Google location services on.
I have tried all suggested issues. Do you think it is a hardware issue with my phone and I should trade it in or am I still missing something?
Sounds like you might have bad hardware. Since EB01 I just recently realized I didn't even need to have vzw or google locations checked. I get a lock just using stand alone service. 8/11 birdies locked in 18sec with an error of 13ft inside my house with GPS Status. And that was after a full wipe and rom flash.
good day.
Since EB01 happened I've had a near instant lock every single time.
I had the exact same prob. My gps problems have been completely intermittent, sometimes it would lock on and other times it would not. No matter what rom or radio I flash. But this is what seems to work pretty well.
1. Don't use the gps toggle button on the pulldown. Use the settings.
2. Use google maps v4.7 and don't let it update.
Hope this helps...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've been using the option from the pull down menu with mixed results.
I've started going into the location & security and enabling/disabling gps from their with much much better results.
Thanks for that tip .
With SC 2.4 ROM GPS was working GREAT!!
I updated to SC 2.6 and I cannot get a lock at all.
With Wi-Fi on the best i can do is get my location and the directions. I can only guess that maybe the clock was changed / tweeked in the later versions.
When I get time I will be rolling back to SC 2.4 ROM.
I have determined it is not a hardware issue as someone else in my area is experiencing the same issues. I updated to EB01 and super clean 2.6. My lock is about 50% now. Either the service is great and locks right on or doesn't at all with the massive blue haze. Someone suggested going back to super clean 2.4?
Once again thanks for all the help guys!

this is the key. and one of the main reasons I went back to DL09 on my phone until the next build comes out.
if you turn it on in settings-->location&security it will work, and then you can turn it off/on via the notification bar for a while, until you reboot your phone...
Is it google navigation having the issue?
I continue to play around with this issue, and am noticing people talking about still being able to be picked up through GPS tools, but not get locked elsewhere. I am assuming that, like me, they are referring to google navigator giving the message "Searching for GPS". Oddly enough, Google latitude is accurately showing my location even when google navigator is telling me it is "Searching for GPS" and drops my turn by turn instructions. I saw one post from cableguy1 to use google maps 4.7 and disable updates, which I would be interested in trying. Anyone know where I can get v4.7?
*Never mind. Didn't pay attention to the fact that my Wifi was on, and the location was a couple houses off. It simply looked precise in comparison to the big blue circle I'd seen while driving. Sorry for the misinformation.*
SC2.4 doesn't have any locking issues for my wife. Good to go there, but not sure if we're just lucky.
2.4 working well
After finding a couple other threads addressing GPS issues, I've noticed people with sc2.4 to have the least problems. Flashed the AIO Odin version, and have had an instant lock so far all morning. Very nice to have google navigaion back
Ever since I flashed to Overcome 1.2.1 the GPS has been VERY wonky and just plain WRONG. Maps says that I am in the next TOWN which is a good ways away.
GPS Locks are extremely few as well and takes forever to lock on to.
Can anyone else confirm this and or help?
Bumping this up.
When you flashed, did you wipe your cache? With a new rom it always takes a while to reaquire your location. I use the app HereIAm2 from the market to get that first position lock after a rom flash.
Yes I did wipe the caches. Will try that app out if it is free.
Thanks.
EDIT: Noticed that the compass seems to be very inaccurate as well. Weird.

Oh well, that's the least of my probs;-/
i have installed OC 1.2.1 and at one point the whole tab became very sluggish....and all sort of issues appeared such as slow browsing.......then the tab would simply freeze! Reboot did not help at all....
I have since installed OC 1.2.3 with the new kernel and it went ok-ish. But today after rebooting i have all sort of errors (broken messaging service, when i click on the wifi tab to switch on, it says 'error'.etc).
I wonder if others have this sort of probs. I cannot understand how it can work fine for a few hours and then.....kkkkkkkk.
I have the UK tab version with firmware JK5; Also cannot figure it out why it does not show 'overcome v1.2.3 on the build number...it still shows v1.2.1, kernel overcome 97.
I'll have to reflash the lot now.......how annoying.
I am sorry that you are having problems. However hijacking threads is frowned upon here.....

The app is free.
How many roms have you flashed? Maybe it's time to do a factory reset, then flash the full version of the rom/kernal.
Well it did the trick and put me in the correct spot but the compass is still completely wonky.
Oh and this is the first ROM I have flashed. Overcome 1.2.1.
There are apps in the market for that. You want to calibrate the compass, so look for a gps utility. Sorry I don't have one to recommend to you.
Not a problem. I appreciate your advice and welcome any others as well.
One thought about the compass - do you have your tab in a case with a magnetic clip?
Mine works fine out of the leather case, but not when it is in the case.
Just a thought.
No I don't.
To test the GPS to see if there was any interference I put my iPhone 4 into compass mode in maps and did the same with the Tab using the Maps program.
The iPhone 4 was spot on....however the Tab was wrong yet again.
So that means there is no interference.
I am stumped here....and the recalibrate apps did not work either.
Just thought I would try a catch-up.
Since my last comment I moved from Rotos JMIv2 to Overcome 1.2.3 and my GPS also stopped. After 24 hours however, I have got it going through a the use of GPS Status (free from the market) and the LbsTestMode which you can access either through a dialler code or through SGS Toolbox, also free from the market.
To cut the story short, I went from just finding about 3 satelites (with no connectoins), to finding and connecting 10 satelites.
I must say that I am very happy with the current ROM and with the GPS Status program.
Hope this helps if you are still having problems.

Hi guys,
I've installed Trigger 3.2 and flashed the S.GPS fix, im trying to use the GPS using the "NAVIGATION" app but it wont lock on signal... it keeps showing me this "сhecking navigation availability" message while the gps icon on tray keeps flashing...
i left it a coupe of times for half an hour but it still wont lock on signal...
the starnge thing is i tested it using "GPS TEST" app and the apps shows that the GPS DO work and it allready found 12 birds and is using like 8 right now...
what do you guys think could be the problem?...
I just tried it on trigger 3.3 beta. At first it did as your saying. I reflashed the s.zip fix, went to gps test after reboot got a good lock. Then ran navigation no problem.
When I was still stock gps test was the only way I could get mine to work. So its habit for me to use it to get a lock then go about maps/navigation.
Dunno might work might not.

hi all.
Ever since I went from Froyo to Gingerbread-based ROMs (and since then to ICS) my GPS has never worked.
AngryGPS doesn't find a single sattelite after 15 minutes, it just like the GPS is dead.
All ROMs I try claim to have a good working GPS, however none actually works.
The GPS lock icon, which should be blinking, is there but not blinking.
Since most people claim to have a working GPS with ICS, could it be a problem with the phone itself?
(I always try the GPS after a reboot)
Thanks for your help.
Been having the same issue, i have tried tens of solutions and flashed tens of fixes, i even opened it to try to fix it and it still doesnt work like its suppose to. Google maps never get my accurate location, its usuallly about a mile off, mapquest however is able to give me turn by turn navigation albeit its often late in its guidance. Very frustrating.

Well, I do use ICS passion right now and I did use eugene's kernel at some point in the past (maybe with MIUI, don't exactly remember).
Anyway none of them had working GPS.
My phone was manufactured at July 2010. Could it be some old revision with GPS problems? Although I did apply the hardware fix back when I was using 2.2, which did help back then.
This is why I'm sadly back onto 2.2. GPS still sucks but better than on GB.
I did everything possible to get GPS to work on GB. I've done the hardware fix, I've flashed everything possible, and the only time it worked was after each reboot, and only then temporarily.
Agree 100%
GPS in ICS is flaky. It usually works right after reboot then it's a gamble. A few times it would work for me for a day, sometimes second run of GPS Test doesn't bring GPS icon up at all.
To make things worse, external GPS support is equally bad. I have a feeling it uses the same driver/daemon.
Obviously there's either not-so-compatible driver in kernel or the API is broken.

Unfortunately the "donate" version does nothing but ask for donations.
I would kick in something if it actually worked, but not on speculation.
GPS at least sort of worked with stock (whatever was on the phone when I got it used) but never at all with any CM build, including with various fixes applied. It at least sort of worked with Onecosmic's ICSSGS, at least once, maybe with some fix or other applied.
A quick update : Turns out, I need two conditions for the GPS to work:
1. The phone needs to be after a reboot, so it didn't go to deep sleep
2. Data connection (WiFi / 3G) should be enabled before you try to get a lock. Even when you use a satellite-only location! I think it downloads the satellite data from the internet. When you get a lock, the data connection can be disabled.
This is the only way I could get my GPS to work in ICS. Even in ROMs that promise the deep sleep problem was fixed.
Cyanogen never let me down, I was usually using some kernel that a worked with the ffc mod, but I literally never had a problem. Also try any miui with angry GPS

The trick that worked for me was to get a GPS lock as soon as the phone boots up but before the screen shuts off (see Post #26 by dark79 in the above link). Usually takes about 30secs to look but works great even after deep sleep.
