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?

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.

This is not a 'weird' problem anymore

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?
As title says my GPS locks in second but when I go on long drive it keeps losing my GPS signal . Has anybody having the same problem?
I have no problem with galaxy nexus though.

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?

Hey everybody!
So I got my Nexus 4 a few days ago and it's been a blast!!
I first accessed a wifi network at my friends place about 7 kms away from my house. Google maps successfully found my location and everything was fine. My location kept updating as I went from place to place. Everything was working perfectly and then I got home and my location changed to friends place again.
When I stand outside my house, my location is correct but the moment I get inside, it changes back to my friends place!! I did a few factory resets and nothing seems to fix this problem!!
Please help me out guys!!! Thanks!!!

Your not really suppose to use the GPS indoors anyway.
Google Maps is probably downloading the data which points to your friends house.

First of all, I'm not using gps indoors.
Second, I tried that app but it's no use.
Everything is fine until I step inside my house!!!
Its happened to me after I moved. I think they base location off your routers ssid.
To fix it open maps and press on the blue arrow.
Then press the my location bubble that pops up.
Next select report incorrect location.
It took a few days but my location at my house updated properly.

I have one of the first Verizon handsets. And the thing takes foreverrrrrrrrr to get a GPS lock.
I am running stock rooted. I have Google location access activated with both the GPS and Network location switched on. On average it takes about 15 minutes to get a GPS lock outside on a clear day in Google maps.
Anyone having similar issues? & have a fix?
return phone to store.. mine fixes in under 5 seconds. if that

Yup, return it. Got mine on release day, and on 4 different ROMs have gotten locks in under 5 seconds also.

Agree, I'm on my second VS980 and both have had quick GPS lock.
A quick gps lock is one thing, but keeping the lock during navigation is another :/
Could you guys try GPS status and tell us how many sats are used ?
Thanks
