I just want a new rom with a fully functional reliable GPS! :(

I cannot get the GPS to work correctly on any ROM that I flash. It either never finds the GPS and says searching for signal or finds it and cuts out really quick and gets stuck on searching for signal.

Ever thought its a hardware problem and not software?

Which ROMs are you flashing? The only one I've had trouble with GPS has been CyanogenMod, but it's a known issue there that the GPS doesn't work right.

Download GPS status from the market. Hit menu then select tools. Open manage agps state. Click clear data. Then download agps data. See if you get a lock then.

I flashed the most recent kushdeck ROM and MIUI. With both I have the same problems with the GPS.

If that doesn't work, then try the CM7 GPS fix.
First make sure you are on a Sense ROM.
Get your MSL using the MSL reader app from the market.
Open your dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX#
When it asks for a password, enter your MSL and then your phone will reboot.

I always use GPS Status, but with Miks, I connect to all my Sats in seconds!

Check these out for some suggestions to try also dont use an app called GPS Status as some have reported it causing problems,use U-Center GPS evaluation to lock the satellites

GPS Problem

Hi guys.
I'm currently running on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932 ; and have a problem with getting a GPS Connection.
I already tried two things. Manually editing the gps.conf file, and flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630 for Europe.
My phone just doesn't connect to any sattelites. In GPS Test the GPS Status is just a yellow light saying GPS on, yet everywhere there are zeroes, 0 Accuracy, 0 Sattelites connected, it just doesn't seem to work at all.
Any solution?

bump.
Nothing in the topic guys? Is it that uncommon?

Same problem on latest tytung 4.2.2 nexushd2 ROM. Also tryed many solutions and none of them works.

I have no idea if this will work on your ROM so make sure you have good backups before trying..
You could try to inject AGPS data before using the GPS. Check out this post and read the "How to inject the AGPS data (xtra.bin)" and "How to verify if AGPS works or not" sections.
Good luck!

I had the same problem with tytung jb. I reflashed ics from scratch and tested gps. Gps was fine.
Then i installed jb without cleaning over ics, and gps kept working. Dont know why, but it worked for me.

Is GPS enabled in the "toggles"?
To test you should first use a simpler program like "GPS Test" (free) in Play Store.
If the GPS lock is very, very slow you can try the next sequence:
- stop all GPS programs
- start your MOBILE data connection
- start GPS Test program.
Obviously you will get a GPS lock much faster outdoors and possibly never underground or in buildings with a lot of metal in the walls or on the roof.

Im outdoor and im not underground also the gps toggle is on.
Can it be better when i install a custom rom?

Have you tried the navigon app available with Samsung phones? Might not be the phone but the app itself especially if you have recently upgraded to KK...
Definately try a test gps app, it will tell you if you have signal. Also if you have mobile data off try with it on a couple of times as this uses the net to locate the satellites to lock onto the signal faster...
