Hello all,
I have noticed a small GPS lag on the Iolite (using Igo8 or Tomtom7). basically, the position shown on the phone is 50m behind the actual position when driving at normal speed.
Did you notice the same thing ?
Cheers,

It´s normal, not a iolite-problem, on other devices too (I has an HTC Artemis with the same effect). In other forums like "gpspassion" the problem is knowen and fixed. Must use google, U will find some solutions.

Do you have a link? I searched gpspassion but could only find a thread about reading about this problem on xda-dev. Too much recursivity for me.

Oh thanks, I thought there was a specific fix, but I will try these tips and see.
Is this problem solved? I wanna by Iolite, and don't want to have any problems with GPS.
BTW, is there any comparison between Iolite's gpsone module and sirfstar 3?
I'm also curious if these tips solved the problems.
My experience is that if I take a turn from the highway, my TomTom lost me for quit some time. It shows a map where I go halfway straight on and after some time it shows a "diagonal road". Looks like a drunk seaman.
After closing TT and restarting it's allright.
I think it's also time for a good firmware upgrade anyhow.
Hi guys,
I got this week a weird problem with the GPS on my Desire HD. I would get lock fine but then it shows I am in Czech republic and I am constantly moving at about 300 km/h
I tried different gps applications and they all show the same.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Viktor

That's interesting, I wonder why that is. Isn't the gps antenna in the same place as the wifi antenna, behind the battery cover? If so maybe the contact was bad.
The GPS antenna is behind the rubber/plastic covering around the LED flash.
Hi All,
I have been running overcome 1.13 and 1.2.0 since it came out and tonight my GPS stopped working. The GPS icon with illuminate for 1-2 mins, then drop out. If never acquires a lock. I used to lock within seconds. I have not changed anything.
Any ideas?

Should be in general/Q&A
Have you tried anything to fix it? Rebooting? Wiping cache/dalvik?
Yes I tried rebooting several times. I wiped the Dalvik cache. No difference. I reinstalled the GPS fix files and after rebooting.l a few times. It started to partially work
Did you flash a modem?
u hav a custom rom on ur device by sumone so the best advice anyone can give u is to go back to the source at hand go onto that custom rom forum and ask for help there i too use the same rom and i hav no issuses....
admin close this page
use the Q/A forum or the ROM thread !!!
Sorry for opening a new thread. I'll post in the overcome thread.
this is worth a try - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922692&page=2
it had my gps blazin quick, not sure if that has anything to do with ur gps turning on and off though
I've had some problems with my gps after installing overcome as well. Was taking at least five minutes to get a fix and sometimes the gps symbol would just disappear altogether. I installed gpsopt and ran that and then faster fix and restarted. My gps now acquires a signal in less than five seconds.

You do not need to say sorry for anything. These guys need to learn to be more polite and either help or lay off.
Hi,
I have a S2 and a couple months back I didn't have any problems with my GPS. Now however, whenever I open the navigation and type a location, it finds me on the map and highlights the route to take, however at the bottom of the screen it says "searching for GPS" and therefore does not starts the navigation.
I have rooted the phone last month. I am not sure if this is the problem and I don't know how to unroot the phone so I can't check if this is the problem.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Open maps first, wait for it to locate you in maps. Then exit maps and re enter navigation address and it should work
Happened to me when i Got an alluminium case

Thanks for the help. It seems to work when I open the maps first and then open the navigation later like bundi22 said.
Why is it weird like this? Is there anyway of making it work by opening the navigation straight away, instead of going onto the maps first?
im having a similar issue, 7 to 10 sats in view, no fix, happened on the last two days, before, fix was in 3~5 secs, anyone?

Hey guys what I found worked really well for me was to use an app called fasterfix from play store to change the ntp server to my country which made it much better (resets on rom flash) also mobile data works much better than wifi for a fix and very rarely it just gets stuck so a quick reboot might help!
I'm having the same issue since yesterday, just not finding any GPS satellites, but it was fine two days ago.

Use GPS status fron store. Sorts all my issues
Used that and then faster fix, hasn't helped yet. Will keep trying different things.

Hi sorry to hear that but does this issue persist across reboots? I doubt the problem is due to rooting but sometimes it can help to either wipe cache and dalvik or re-flash your rom. I have had random GPS issues on some firmware versions but for me personally DXLPB has been the best. I would start by trying small changes like wiping caches first though and save changing roms for later if this is your only issue. Also, sometimes performing a full wipe can fix small bugs like this but a full wipe can take a lot of time so let's save that for a last but possible option! Good luck with it though, I know how annoying it can be if the GPS plays up!

I've got the same . Not sure if the weather has got anything to do with it. it has been very cloudy for x days here in Scotland.
I have never had any problems with gps until now. About 10 satellites in view but no fix. It drives me crazy because I run with endomondo using gps signal.
I read about mods that improve gps fix but I can not find it now.

Great tip mate, had issues with getting GPS Fix after flashing CM9 but used your fasterfix app tip, selected UK and bosh, not getting fixes on 10 satellites Thank you very much sir, saved me flashing another ROM.

Are you sure you used fasterfix properly? Did it actually changed your Current Server? My one by default was set to an american/canadian one, hence why I wasn't getting any fixes. Changed it to my country and now it works like a charm .. Select your country/region and hit go and make sure the server link in Current Server updates, then use GPS Test app to test your GPS.
What rom are you guys using? I've noticed that my GPS sucks since installing XWLPM (Russia 4.04). I tried flashing back to a different modem but it didn't help. I'm patiently waiting for a new 4.04 ROM which might help the situation out. I've tried fasterfix as well as several other programs but it doesn't help much. My phone used to get a gps lock within 10 seconds indoors and within 5-7 seconds outdoors. Now it takes minutes...

I'm currently running on CM9 nightly, stock CM Kernel, KH3 modem. Try testing out a few different regions in FasterFix. Use the GPS Test app to test your GPS. And, obviously, make sure you're outside or close enough to a window to get a clear signal.
so which server do i set for australia

Maybe Oceania. I'm not too sure, best to choose the reagion nearest to you and if that doesn't work try a different one.

+1.
Resolved in the same way.
gps fixes quicker when you take you're phone out of aluminium case(if you have one)

I live in Sweden. I've tested: stock XWLPG; RR with kernels: CM9 (not the last one though), Siyah 3.4.1, NEAK 2.1.1; CM9 RC2, CM9 0721.
Results:
- Instant GPS lock on stock XWLPG (blinking icon, fix within few seconds) and on RR (no blinking icon, fix within less than ten seconds) but only with Siyah and NEAK kernels. No problems whatsoever.
- Unfortunately both CM9 builds and RR with CM9 kernel gave horrible scores. It took 4-8 minutes to fix.
I find it really hard to believe that gps problems are weather-related (at least in my place).
Samsung's GPS always hard to link the satellites, it must work with A-GPS assist, you can download faster fix from google play, and assigned a agps sever near your region, that's helpful

Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother with that, but i have an issue with my Galaxy Note 3 LTE, Cyanogen 11 M8.
Fresh install, everything wiped.
It seems that the GPS is fully down... GPS Status is unable to see or lock anything, Navigation freeze etc....
Maps is able to find my position, but only with network enabled.... if i disabled it... it is lost
In GPS Status, app stay "looking for GPS localization", and when a start an app that need the gps, the Gps Status appears a few second, with an "X".
I neved had this kind of issue, and i didn't find any clues over Internet (but i've seen people with the same issue)
I'm almost sure it was working in M7... i didn't use the gps since i upgrade the phone.
So, has anyone an idea about my problem ?
Many thanks
I had the same issue with the same configuration...
For me, it had to do with the 3G phone tower which appears not to be updated to certain parameters...
This happened when I was in a tiny village of the South West of the UK...
I then try the GPS in other cities, 50 miles away, and everything went back to normal...
I live in London, and travel abroad monthly; and no issues there also...
I would suggest to try your GPS in an other area...

Thanks,
I also live in a small city in France, i hope your solution will also work for me !
I will try tomorrow, in a "bigger city"
Unfortunately... i took my car and drive to be closer of a big city... no success.
It seams that the GPS is down... 'cause i launch some apps that give the signal received by the phone... and it appears that received absolutly nothing. (0, nada, the void)
I've tried to revert to M7 : no GPS at all.
Tried some gps.conf found on the forum : nothing.
It start to scare me, i hope the GPS is not "broken" (could i have killed the GPS antenna ?)
Anyway, i'm still looking for any clues or a way to check the GPS log.
Thanks

GPS connect has NOTHING to do with the SIZE of the city the only factor SHOULD be view of clear SKY.
I was going to say that GPS only works when you're outdoors. Trying to get a signal wont work when in your home etc
For info :
My GPS problem seems to be related to Android 4.4.4.
There's many people complaining that the GPS became innacurate or simply unavailable with this version.
And, it seems that the Cyanogen team has issues making the GPS work for Cyanogen 11 M9 (it's on the wiki).
Currently, there's no fix available. (for some people, rewrinting all APN worked, even if it's not related to GPS, etc etc etc... there's many solution available, but not working for everyone.)
Same issue here, prognosis for it should be posted here, Thx.
Hi Everyone,
If there's people following this thread, i'm still looking for a solution...
Here's all the thing i've tried, without success :
- Reinstall / change Modem
- Back to stock rom (GPS still not working)
- Format /system and reinstall
- Re-Partition
- NV Rebuild
Each time, it's the same thing : i start GPS Status, and i get the icon with the cross, and nothing happen.

Sometimes with Odin, sometimes with Clockwork... don't remember exactly
Each time, i was never able to get a GPS signal.
If you ODIN'd back to stock and GPS is still down on stock ROM, then you probably have a hardware issue. There is a GPS fix thread on the forum with pics of the hardware breakdown.
Hi everyone,
I can't explain what happened... but my GPS is back. hallelujah !
I saw this morning that the Cyanogen 11 M10 for the hlte (Galaxy Note 3) was available.
I update the Cyanogen i had installed (M9)... and test GPS right after that... nothing.
And then, i tested it tonight, the satellite dish appeared with the cross... but i was able to "touch" it with my finger : And then the icon dissapeared, and the new icon with the sattelite dish and the wave appeared and i saw GPS Signal !
I got a lock after a few sec.
Sorry guys, i don't have any answer about what happened, and how tthe GPS got back to work.
But anyway, thanks for the help !
