Hello, I'm having some problems with the gps. When i turn on the gps and am in google maps the cellphone just stops working. I'm using rom v.2.0 RC0.
What's the solution?
Thanks. I'm a Llama
mine working fine (rc1), but after switching off gps icon stay in statsu bar...
From the last upgrade my wife's defy+ had the gps always running and when I switch it to off it run again some time later (various times, not always the same)
Any help welcome
No running gps app, uninsatlled all app related to positionning without any result.
The only possible is norton antithief but on my other phones didn't open the gps search.
Just run GPS test on the phone, had a good connection close gps, close the phone.
Open the phone, the gps icon is not here again and not tidked as it was from the update in preferences
Are you using a custom rom?

Has anyone else noticed the maps app and the nav app not registering the gps signal? I checked the GPS with gps essentials and it works fine but the maps app and navigation don't get the signal. The gps icon shows locked on in the toolbar but says "waiting for location" in the nav app? This was working fine right before I did the 4.2 update..
Just updated along with 30 other app updates and don't have a problem with this.

Yes is all over the place...
Navigator starts and has a GPS fix on my location in less than 10 seconds. Under 4.1.2, it just kept searching. Maps worked, Navigator didn't. Seems our problem was ass-backwards.

All GPS apps working as should on the setup in my Sig. They also worked fine when I was on 4.2 Stock rooted and the stock kernel.

I had this problem with the 4.1.2 update and a factory reset was finally needed to fix it.
My so nexus 7 32 GB has the same issue ? but my nexus 7 32 GB 3g works fine ? I will try a f/reset on hers when she gets home from work !
Not looking forward to it , she had it sents Nov 4th and I have to set it up the same way it is now

That could be why mine now works. I when to 4.2 (from Trinity kernel), I went to stock 4.11.... Then to 4.2. Never thought that doing a clean install may have been what "cured" my problem. BTW...the only app that didn't work was Google Nav. Go figure.

My maps works if I have the Wi-Fi location source enabled but I want the GPS as the source, so only that is enabled and maps just searches as does navigation but if I open gps essentials with only gps enabled it works fine and gets at last five satellite real quick. Then I switch right to maps with a gps lock already established and it acts like gps is non-existent.. boo 4.2! I used this navigation app a lot damn it

Exactly what I saw after the 4.1.2 updare. A hard reset was needed to fix it.
I wiped and installed the factory 4.2 image to fix it. Drastic, but effective.

I am currently having this issue on the 4.2.1 update. Sygic seems to navigate fine, and my GPS toolbox says the same.. but navigation and maps totally fails (for a few seconds, maps placed me hundreds of feet off, but now it shows nothing..
I have the same issue on my GSM Galaxy Nexus with 4.2. Locus and others apps work just fine, but Google Maps and Navigation don't use gps. But at top bar, there is an icon show me that gps was fixed...

This did the same thing to me also after the 4.1.2 update and 4.2.1. Tried to find a fix for it both times and never could. Had to do a hard reset both times.
4.2.1 broke GPS in offline GMaps
I updated my N7 OTA to 4.2.1 from unrooted 4.2 yesterday and just noticed that GPS no longer works in Google Maps offline. The GPS icon obtains a fix as well as GPS Test app confirms satellite fix. But in Maps, it goes from "waiting for location" to "...unavailable".
My N7 was previously rooted under 4.1.2 before I went to 4.2. I performed a factory reset under 4.2 and kept it unrooted. I can't confirm whether I tried to use GPS Maps offline after going to 4.2.
Between the shortened battery life under 4.2 and now the inability to use GPS offline, I'm seriously debating about reverting back to a clean 4.1.2 and start over.
Did the update yesterday and after reading this thread I downloaded a couple of GPS apps and tried Google Maps with wifi sources turned off. No problems finding signal and getting a lock quickly. Mind you, I have a stock OS, no root as I just bought my N7 on Saturday.

Sadly, I am not rooted either, but right now, maps is hosed. Mind you, given that this is a WiFi tablet, it isn't huge ( I prefer 3rd party solutions more), but this is still something that shouldn't happen..
There's something in common you guys have, something to figure out... because GPS/Maps/Navigation etc is fine on my N7 on 4.2.. I haven't seen 4.2.1 yet.
edit: Just got 4.2.1, GPS is still fine. Holds sats, Google nav is happy, etc.
Re-enable Google apps access to location:
Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Location Settings -> Let Google apps access your location

Have you tried GPS status app? It downloads gps data which help gps find signal. You must have your data connection enabled, via network or wi-fi. If it don`t help try to wipe gps cache

yes, i tried gps status, but no results. i get 1/1 fix/sat after few minutes, but no gps signal.
Maybe you were trying during bad weather? It can decrease chances to gain a good signal.

Hi does anybody have a gps problem
My phone can't find any satellite
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Switch all location services off in settings. ie untick both gps satellites and wifi location. Then power off, reboot and switch them all on again. Use gps test (chartcross) to see if you can get a lock. You can also reset agps data if it remains slow to lock.

I was worried too when I bought mine 3 weeks ago. Fortunately my gps works fine. I believe those that say there are batches with bad gps. Try replacement.
