Gps issues

Dear forum members,
I have used several Roms for my At&t galaxy s4 32gb and ranging from omega to the most recent shostock Rom with great success.
But my issue is as follows, my GPS will never lock on to any satellites since the latest shostock Rom was installed.
Ive tried full wipe, reflashing other roms that the GPS was working flawless on but with no luck.
I cant ever get a GPS lock where previously it worked great.
Any help would be greately apreciated since I really love this device and this isbthe first issue ive had with it since I bought it a few months ago.
Thank you

Check the settings for Location settings.
Also download GPS Test (free) from Google Play.
Sometimes Maps won't prompt to change setting for GPS and or WiFi.
Thanks for the response, I've done all of that but it just never locks on with any app, or tester. It just searches and searches, in the last week it started happening. Any other ideas?

I had the same issues and then I installed latest KT kernel and let Google maps use location reporting. Once I did that it locked with the quickness.

Galaxy S4 i9505 GPS issue - Help

Hello Experts,
It's been ard two months I am struggling to get my gps work on my s4 which was working when I bought the phone and was on stock Samsung OS.
It's started when I rooted my phone. Subsequently installed CM10.1 nightly (I guess 24/7/2013-nighly). Now I am on cm10.1 rc2.
Gps status show 0/0 sats. No satellites in view
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As you are rooted, something worth trying would be FasterFix from PlayStore. You'll see what it does.
Good luck!
Thanks for response. Yes I am rooted.
Recently I installed latest modem (mh8) as well Which didn't help either.
I tried GPS status, GPSFix, gps test etc. Those didn't help. But never used to keep the gps open for more than 5 minutes.
Will keeping it on longer help?
Thanks.

Also if someone can tell me the permissions on gps.conf file if it matters.

My GPS error was caused by a software conflict - in my case, Yahoo Weather. It stopped the GPS from getting proper signal or lock, but when I uninstalled the app it returned to normal. The latest version of Yahoo Weather has fixed the issue.
Think about any apps you may have installed at the time of rooting. Rooting itself should not cause this issue.
You could try taking a full backup, reset the device and see if GPS works again with no user apps installed. If it does it sounds like a software conflict, if it does not then it is a firmware/hardware problem.
Yeah read that thread which talks about yahoo weather. I don't have it. Infact I did wipe few times to install new nightly. And checked gas just by installing Google maps, which didn't help.
Could it be a hardware issue? How can we confirm? My gps status show 0/0 sats in view.

Did you disable some autostart apps? I had the same behavior. In my case, I think it was a Google service.

If all else fails, unroot, flash the Original FW via Odin.
Noted. Will try and update, little tied up with some other things.

To see if is hardware you need clean install
1. Download odin 3.07 ( you have option NAND ERAS ALL )
2. Download MH8 ( If you are with knox ), / MF8 ( NON KNOX BOOT )
3. Download PIT
4. Odin - check NAND, PIT file, PDA AND START
5. After flash your phone wont boot ( stuck at samsung Logo )
6. Boot in recovery ( volume up )( original recovery )
7. Factory reset + format cache.
8. Will reboot automatically the phone
9. Install GPS TEST. And let it search for maxim 5 min. ( will be cold start )
Come back with result

Wow, thanks.
Few questions though
1. If I select NAND ERASE All, will erase everything what I see in internal memory?
2. What is knox boot?
Thanks again.

When you are entering in download mode and you have 2 lines there where is writen Knox kernel lock 0x0 and knox warranty void that means that you have secure bootloader ( you can flash only MH group or GG ). If you dont have I recommend to flash MF8 Or BGMA.
And yes NAND eras all ... is deleting all from internall memory

Hello there,
I did as you mentioned above. Unfortunately it didn't help. Is there something bad with my GPS hardware? I remember it was working when I was on stock ROM when I bought the phone.
I saw a post for GS3 which states tightening the screws to fix gps issue. Can we do something similar for GS4?

One more thing: install GPS test from Google market. And send me a print with the open app. BUT 1st enable GPS from settings. And bee sure to bee in open place ( outside) when you are opening the app

[Q] Problem with Sacs Rom V4

Hey guys! I'm itswillyferret, but you can call me willy. I'm a new member on the forum but i have been testing certain roms on my Galaxy S4.
For some reason i cannot take screenshots with Sacs Rom v4. "Unable to save screenshot. USB storage may be in use".
I have tried multiple things, including redownloading the rom/reflashing. I've tried another rom (Slimkat) and it worked fine with screenshots. So does many other roms (including stock) But i love the features with Sacs Rom. I'd like to keep it awhile, but screenshots are a must. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks guys! glad to be here :fingers-crossed:
Did you try a different kernel like ktoonez or folder mount app from the play store?
I have not attempted another kernal. But would that change anything?

Yes, but try Foldermount from the Playstore first. I would almost guarantee that will work.
I just tried it and it fixed my problem thanks for the help guys!
