Am I the only one with not working gps?
I tryed many ROM and many kernel but it is not working at all...
The phone locate me only via wi-fi/3g network but if i disable this option I can't get my current position..
it seems accurate but is not gps so i can not use navigator on car etc...
I was about asking in some dev 3d but I notice I can not write there
so...there is any way to fix it?
Actually I'm using NexusBeam v3 and franco's kernel 1212...
I saw on changelog the gps is fixed in v3 but it is not working... at least for me...
Mine does not work either. I've tried all the ns4g ICS roms .

Hi all,
I am trying to find out how widespread the GPS locking problems are with this model. I am talking about non-assisted GPS, which can be tested using the "GPS Test" application on the market.
So, how is the GPS on your phone performing using GPS Test? Please give some detailed information like lock time, number of sattelites, urban/countryside location, and if possible firmware version of your phone.

My Spica cannot get a lock at all, will see up to 11 satellites but most of them with signal strength bars at zero. Firmware versions tested (all same result)
1.5 (XEJB2)
2.1 (XXJD1, XXJD4, XXJF2, XXJC3)
Same pb with my wife's spica. Samdroid version with FE7.
Can't lock withour assistance. What a pitty.
Go to your Settings -> Date & Time -> Uncheck Automatic and see if it helps
Or you can try this (need root)

i can get a fix under 2 minutes if I stay still...moving, it can take an eternity

i just don't bother with that any more...I might do it again after a month without wiping any data
rooting is like breathing to me ... as it would be to most of the people here
Anyone found a solution yet?
My spica wont connect via gps either. It just keeps blinking and nothing happens...not even after 30min.
I've tried GPStest and it reports that 12 satellites are in view but non in use, and there is no bars everything is at 0...not picking any signal at all :S
I tried my friend's one too and he gets a signal imediatley and a lock after about 10-30seconds.
Any solution to this? Is it a software problem or hardware problem?

I installed the alpha CyanogenMod 2.2 and GPS is working like a charm!
Problem was with the wrong libraries being used in many of the custom roms found at SamdroidMod. Devs found out about this issue and fixed it in this 2.2 release.
I'm running original firmwire which i got on the phone. (XXJE4)
I'm not willing to install alpha cyanogen of froyo yet...Is there really no other solution? I've had a chance to compare my spica to another one with original firmwire (JE4 too) ant that other spica worked while my gps had no lock. Also i had the chance to try one with samdroid on and it worked too.
Mine works from time to time. at the moment it works, earlier today it wouldn't get a lock no matter how long i waited.
First thing-delete /data/xtra.bin- this is data for agps which seems to cause gps locking problem. You can do it with RootExplorer/SUFBS or any file manager with root rights. Or use GPS Status and Reset agps data from setting. You can also try to swap libsec-ril.so, JF2 version works best for me. If you want I can provide update packages for libsec-ril.so
i have installed cyanogenmod 7.1 on mine, and can get a lock under 1min30s outside or under 3min in the bus near the window.
I have a rooted spica with android version: 2.2.2, baseband version: i570EXXJC1, kernel version:2.6.29 and Mod version:SamdroidMod-2.2.2-a9.
When I go to google maps app and click set location I always get an error saying: location temporary unavailable ! I checked the option on Settings->Location and security->Use wireless networks and use GPS satellites. And my phone is connected to the internet.
I just bought the phone last week, and its really embarrassing not getting this to work.

thanks for the useful info, you saved my life by this post.
i thought my gps is wrong in my spica then it was just a bug in the cooked rom. cyanogen mod is cool and gps is working now perfectly.
thanks again!
With spicagenmod + hp/yonip kernel gps work very well.
Hello,
Have anyone been able to get GPS to work properly after updating to Android Gingerbread.
Keep in mind you have to turn off Use Wireless Networks in Settings and then Try it.
Thanks and Regards,
Gana
Yea!
But i used GPS Aids.
Yes gana, gps does work on stock xxkph.. i get locks in less than 10s but when using custom rom...that's the time i'm having problems with
Man this bug really sucks then.
I am beginning to think it may have something to do with the Kernel
yup might be kernel...Nama also tried but failed, he might currently be working on it though. I really liked your rom let's wait for other inputs as well
Has anyone had this running on ICS i just cant get GPS to see it.
Yes, I'm running it on aurora 2.02. Some had problems in general with GPS location, and it can be fixed with GPS position fix app, like GPS Status & Toolbox from play store.
Also check the newest threads in development forum, you might find other useful suggestions.
Hey mate thanks sort of got it running can you explain how please?

Check this forum page, if you searched the forum you probably found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511544
Find the section with GPS FIXES and detailed instructions will be there. Hope that solves the GPS problem.
I have the same problem with other navigation apps from time to time. Inside the program drag down the status bar and disable and enable gps several times, this way it works for me.
You could flash the newest test version of Aurora (2.03), gps problems seem to be solved. See the development thread.
I can't confirm, as I haven't flashed yet the new version.

The newest build 2.04 still has NTPS server set to asia. Otherwise GPS works OK. If you get long time for GPS to connect, put the phone on some surface, because hands can block some signal reception.
Just flashed 2.04, looks good so far.
I just tried GPS in my room, agps data deleted and no data connection / wireless. Set the NTPS server to Germany with the app FasterGPS. Well, it took about 5 minutes to get a fix with 10 satellites but it works Tested with GPS Status, Osmand & Locus Pro
I'm currently on CM10 B4 but have had this issue on revolver and Raymans JB build 6.0. Gps used to work fine on stock and ARHD.
Faster fix does not seem to change anything. GPS test does not seem to be finding any satellites.
Any suggestions to try to get GPS working?
Hello everyone.
I was having an issue with my phone. The GPS works with no problems. But after a few days of the phone being on, when i would use any gps app (waze, google maps, weather), the app would not be able to establish a connection with the GPS. I would have to toggle on/off the GPS in order for it to synchronize. After that, it would work perfect for a day or two.
The phone had the beta version of [ROM] [TeaM VeNuM] The Blu Kuban and [KERNEL][SPRINT][AOSP/TW][5/31/2013] KT-SGS4 - MDM - KTweaker.
Could it be an issue with the rom, kernel, or my phone?
