Wierd problem with the gps

Hi
i'm having a weird problem with my gps.
I get up to 10 satellites in view but the gps keeps losing the connection.
The phone just came yesterday from Samsung with a new board. Also my galaxy never got so many satellites in view.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Why?
The gps before didn't got more than 1 sat in view now i get about 10 so Samsung did improve something by replacing the main board.
Is there any other config or rom to improve GPS performance?

Time Zone

I have noticed that my N7 does not automatically change time zones even though the auto time update is checked and I am connected to a wifi network. All of my other devices update automatically. I tried a reboot with no success. Anyone else experience this? Thanks.
Do you have location services enabled?

Experience same problem. Any fix?
I noticed the same problem a few weeks ago. My galaxy nexus changed no problem but it always did.

GPS Lock

Hi all,
Had my nexus 7 for two weeks now. Just tried to use gps and cannot get a lock at all. I'm outside and still no lock. Anyone had the same issues?

Mine locks in about 4-5 seconds when inside.

GPS working good?

Hey guys. Really really love my new n7 its amazing.
Of course the moment I got it home I rooted it and installed a few roms! You just have to!
I'm currently on paranoid android 2.23 with no kernel change.
My issue is this: my GPS won't lock at all! Google maps with GPS enabled without wifi always returns location unavailable.
I'm almost 100% sure the nexus has GPS so what's the problem?
Anyone having this issue or any solutions?

I can second that, it runs perfectly. Try a clean install.
Try GPS Status from the market and go to tools and erase the location assistant data then download assistance. Also GPS Status also shows you if you are picking up satellites and just not getting a lock. If you get even one lock just be patient and you will get the other ones you need eventually.
Your first lock in awhile is going to take longer because the GPS logic assumes you have changed locations and does a cold start up.
Give it some help and go outside with at least a decent look at the sky keep it in one place.
I haven't had top do this in a long time but sometimes if I had toggled GPS from on to off I wouldn't get a lock but rebooting with GPS toggled on would fix it.
And a few times reflashing the same kernel would fix a flakey GPS

GPS status is pretty good app! Thank you for suggesting it.
GPS status showed 9 sat and 9 locks, but maps didn't work still.
I then did the reset and download and now maps locks me and shows location.
Thank you!
This might be a little off topic but what exactly does the assistant data do?

Data stops working intermittently.. Full bars.. Am I the only 1

My Nexus 4 running CM11 (doesnt seem to matter what rom I run, same problem when I was running slim rom) will intermittently lose data, most noticeable when streaming Pandora. Music will play just fine for about 30 minutes straight or more then it just stops playing and i am not able to get any data into the phone for at least 3 minutes unless I reboot. The thing is that i never show signal loss, it's always 4 plus bars of LTE (have not tried to duplicate on hspa).. It's not the app because google search stops working as well... I am using a hybrid radio..
Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Btw I'm in the US and using tmobile..

Nexus 4 does not support LTE !! I GUESS because mine doesn't ☺ so try Using it on 3g or wifi!!

Officially Yes that's correct.. However it does have the radio for it and it does work.. I will try hspa and see if it happens... But I'm not convinced its an LTE issue just yet.
