My GPS will not lock on and I can't get into the GPS test menu via the dialer code...not sure why this is the case. I have custom ROM Cognition 1.13...GPS was working fine on 1.12. Any ideas what the problem could be.

Custom rom?? did the GPS work before the custom rom did you change the modem .

A quick question & sorry if it sounds dumb, did u enable all the gps features (tick boxes) in the settings?
If yes, then, did u have a proper gps fix previously?

Yeah all boxes ticked. Was working fine on my last ROM which was Cognition 1.12.
It's strange how I get access the GPS test menu via the dialler codes.
I had this one time too. Did you try to flush A-GPS data with GPSStatus , then exit GPSStatus immediately and free RAM, then start GPSStatus again?
That fixed it for me but it might have been coincidence.
I've had no GPS problems with Cognition 1.13, and anecdotally it's not something I've seen a lot of people complaining about so it's unlikely to be the ROM.

This does work, I think the GPS becomes corrupted every now and then, just do this and it seems to rectify

My gps just will not work if i flash android. it works in winmo and if i just harlet. any suggestions?
Try this in Android
Settings - Location - Enable GPS (Check)
yea
I did that every time. that didnt help but thanks. i just flashed it a few more times and it started to work. so i guess if ur gps doesn't work at 1st just reflash till it dose.
For me its different. My GPS works only once after flashing. Literally. I flash, use Google Maps and it works perfect. Back out and never again will GPS work until I flash again but only once. Weird cause it worked fine in WM though I don't miss it. I'd rather not have GPS than be stuck in WM
weird
are u using 1.6 or 1.5.

This does happens with certain builds. Make sure you're using one that says GPS actually works!
Hello all,
I am using Froyo XXJPO on my Galasy I9000. My problem is, that I cant get a GPS fix. But I can see 9 satellites if I use a GPS test tool.
Any idea what I can try? Thank you.
Well this is a first, someone having a gps problem.....you tried any of the million suggestions already posted?

While it's true that GPS problem has been discussed at lengths, people normally complain about poor accuracy and intermittent fix.
OP here is talking about another problem which I now experience myself since upgrading to Froyo. Quite often, SGS sees plenty satellites with SNR above 30, but just doesn't use them. At the same time and place my friend's Nexus sees less satellites but gets a fast and sure fix with them. This seems to be a driver problem in Froyo, not a hardware issue.
Edit: Forgot to mention that SGS usually gets the fix eventually, it just takes up to 15 minutes sometimes.
No fix issues have been done to death as well. Normally sorted by dicking around with your supl settings in the hidden menu.
Gps is just ****e on this thing, hope one of the solutions works for you.

It was the first thing I tried as soon as this issue appeared.
Doesn't make much difference if any.
By the way, on Eclair GPS worked just great for me (with JM7, that is. Before JM7 it barely worked at all).
I got the exact same issue, I can see like 8-10 sattelites with plenty of +30db and can't get a fix. My TomTom gps from 3 years old only sees 4-5 but gets instant fix.
Before I was on JP2 and this didn't happen > it fixed fast and sees the same amount of sats.
However, I must say that accuracy is great, when I do get a fix, accuracy goes up to 16 feet within the minute ands stays that way.
can you look into the LBS settings and tell me what is the accuracy used?

In my first tool I have written something about "GPS test tool". This GPS test tool is GPS Status. If I download A GPS data again make no chenges. Just a lot of satellites wihtout fix.

Well, to both
LBS Menu: *#*#1472365#*#*
Standalone + "Hot Start" + Accuracy More than 15 + "Automatic" in SUPL settings.
Actually, it's now *#3214789650# (since Froyo or late Eclair ROMs)
I'm using accuracy 30 now. Was testing it with 50 some time ago with no noticeable difference.
Weird, and it was working before right?
Have you hard reseted the device prior and after the rom upgrade and cleared the caches?

when i try to access this LBS menu in froyo i hit the final * key then it all disappears and no menu pops up.....
What am i doing wrong?
Same problem here.
GPS was great and dead-on accurate on 2.1 (O2 UK official firmware) and now it rubbish (O2 official froyo).
This is not a hardware issue.
same problem here, just that there are no values in gps test (time is always 00:00 as well as all others and the compass is jumping back and forth.. the day before yesterday before i've had used faster fix it worked great =( ) anyone knows how to fix without reflashing?
Weird, I got the exact same firmware as a collegue and he gets a fix way faster than me, he even sees sats inside our officebuilding (I see none).
However, using the 3214789650 code and doing the Get Position test, he gets a weird orange text where I just get regular information.

This might have been up before but I am still going 2 share it because their are still people out their who tried other gps fix an nothing has worked for them. Everytime I have had a gps problem wich I have experienced with the ef02 modem as well as with the eg22 I download gps status from the market. After you download it, hit the menu an a option should come up showing tools. Click on tools an download manage a gps state. After you have done that go back into the gps program that you use and everything should work perfectly. Atleast for me a works everytime no matter what rom or modem I run.
HOPE IT WORKS

Hi,
Since after updating to Android Lollipop 5.0 from Kitkat 4.4.2 my GPS is giving so much issues while locking signal on Sygic, Navmii
its working absolutely fine when Internet (Wifi/3G) is enabled but for accessing offline maps it always search for satellites but never comes up with one even after 1-2 hours.
the same issue is occurring with S4 with same Lollipop 5.0, the same apps are working fine with Kitkat 4.4.2 but not it isn't working.
Tried to resolve the issue by using below link but failed, GPS should work without Wifi/3G/4G Data connection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54196125&postcount=754
GPS Status app is also not giving any valid satellite locks.
I think i have STOCK version updated to 5.0 but not yet confirmed since i purchased the set in use condition
Always showing Searching for GPS

and install the polish rom as suggested, had the same problem, this rom fixed my gps(i have a steady connection within 3 seconds). Btw its a rooted rom and you keep knox 0x0 so you win twice ?
AGPS mate, AGPS. Have an app to download the AGPS data at short intervals. Without AGPS data this phone is just dumb to have a GPS lock, this is what I have experienced after doing almost everything I could to try to fix the GPS issue and ultimately giving up.
Or you could try the hardware thing like some others have mentioned, like straightening some pins or something if its bent, which I haven't done, but I am now considering it.
I had same problems in past time
But when I change the sygic with the new v it become connect with gps in 30 sc
Sygic v 15.4.1
Do it and thank me ?

This scenario is not working, either AGPS data is not downloaded or downloaded data is not locking any satellite.

What if my, it damages the phone during the process,
Secondly i already have 5.0 so should i move directly to part 3 ??
GPS is a kernel related problem or sometimes loose internal connection .
All AGPS does is speed up lock on .
Test by leaving GPS on in clear view of the sky for half an hour .

If it says no, your phone is not rooted, so you have to go trough the steps to unroot it.

Umm, how it works I don't know man, but it works, that's all I know. Just install the app and install with the default settings (do not alter the settings, this is important), the gps.conf file will be patched with new settings, reboot the phone, and then go outside, get the first lock under clear sky, and then test anywhere. It locks for me anywhere!

Hi all, I tried everything I found on the Internet.
I thought it was a cable problem, a contact problem.
I opened and closed my Note 3 several times with no luck.
This is what happens: my GPS cannot fix any satellite.
I made a video to show what happens.
Note that it was trying to fix since about 30 minutes.

As GPS is a function of kernel have you swapped kernels .
Did you use GPS Fix to wipe and redownload AGPS data .

I found a thread on Reddit that fixed my GPS once, then a thread here that fixed it better the 2nd time. It has to do with pulling the back off and bending the tabs that connect to the GPS antenna on the rear. These threads tell and show all. Follow these and GPS issues should be resolved.

I also try reflash the ROM and tried another custom ROM Phronesis ROM, no luck. I haven't try flash CM yet. Some mention because of Android version upgrade like lollipop to marshmallow will cause this issues. Currently I unsure is software or hardware cause it. Also, it might cause by motherboard.

note3 for indoor with apgs. In the beginning, I think it's GPS issue leading me can't play Pokemon. But indoor, we can only have agps, so I try to look at the setting and see if this works for you
1. Use faster GPS to change the NTP server by select continent and region you are in.
2. In faster GPS, go to advance to change setting. Change value of intermediate_post to 0. This one is important and I find it helps to lock my location by agps in a second. otherwise, location is found with 4km error
3. Use GPS status app to reset and download the agps data. This make the error distance even shorter
4. Of course,restart and enjoy
I do this and I can lock my location even indoor with a second. Hope it works for you. I try this out by myself and hope this helps you
