[Q] ZTE Blade (Swedish Spring) does not lock GPS

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with ZTE Blade with Swedish Spring Froyo ROM.
I cannot get GPS lock no matter where I am or how long I wait.
Right after flashing, it worked fine.
So I installed GPS Status app and tested it on the same place with my HTC Desire HD
with my DHD I fixed to 5 satellites and acquired lock after 13 seconds
with ZTE Blade I fixed to 6 and sometimes 8 or more satellites but even after 5 minutes there was no GPS Lock and neither Google Maps nor iGO knew where I was located.
I tried deleting A-GPS data using GPS status app but it still did not fix it
since I can get fix from enough satellites I have no idea why it does not lock
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance

GPS problems with Nexus 4 and "external" `Navi-Apps?

Hi together,
I've the Nexus 4 with the newest stock rom (JWR66Y) and stock kernel (3.4.0-perf-gf43c3d9).
In Google Maps I don't have any problems with the gps connection, everything is working fine.
But in other Navi-Apps like TomTom or Navigon, sometimes the gps signal is "jumping" (like I'm in another position, or sometimes the signal is completely away for a short time).
Is this "normal" or could another kernel/rom help with this problem?
Best regards,
Shadow128

Noone has these failures?

Stock Rom with Franko kernel and no problem with Igo or Sygic navigators.
Maybe you should try these also.
Unleashed by my Nexus 4

OK, i'll test the franco kernel.
Thx for your help!

I've to push up this thread, because the problem is still there.
I tried several franco kernel, but problem is further existing.
I installed also fresh stock rom, but sometimes the signal is jumping for several minutes.
Then it is working for a few minutes, and then it jumps again.
On long street that is no problem, but in city it is not possible to navigate with it :-/

[Q] Defy XT-535 GPS Problems

Hi,
I have a Motorola XT-535 with ICS 4.0.4, and recently I did a factory reset, which ended in having basic android features in my phone (OS was fine, but there was no launcher, keyboard, Play store, etc.)...
I managed to install everything in my phone, and was glad to see that I had not any "spam" apps that were included in the chinese ICS update.
Problem is, I use Waze a lot, and now that I am using it, the GPS connects and disconnects frequently, and having lag while driving with GPS navigation on, something that didn´t happened before.
The thing is, GPS works, but can´t keep the connection steady with satellites or something and keeps disconnecting very frequently.
What do you recommend besides flashing again chinese ICS?
Thank you,

Mahdi VS980 GPS Issues

Is anyone having issues with the Mahdi ROM on the VS980? It works great except GPS in Google Maps. Whenever I try to use turn by turn it can't get a lock, however when I use apps like Foursquare it gets my exact location. This happened in CM and CarbonRom as well.

[Q] Endomondo dont work CM11

Hallo, I have one question, some apps in last quarx Nightly 4.4 from 30.6 lossing GPS signal - ENDOMONDO and SYGIC. This problem had Nexus 5 too after actualization from 4.3 to 4.4
Problem is then after GPS lock Endomodno lost signal (that take 2s) and GPS icon is not more in status bar.
This is problem only with ENDOMONDO version up 10.0, before was all ok.
Im sure thats is only soft problem other apps are ok. With CM 10...and 7... ENDOMODO works.
Sry for my english.. : (

Having the same problems at least since KitKat with Endomondo (and as far as i can tell runtastic, too). It's pretty annoying to run like half an hour and never know the real distance. Seems like GPS is switched off when screen goes dark. I'ld take my Photon Q to track my runnings, but it won't fit into my sportswear pockets … any ideas?
I was on Illusion rom and tried PA 4.4.4 (4.45) for a change, but still the same. The GPS-fix also did not help. It's freaking me out.
Edit: Will try this tomorrow …

Endomondo works for me… I have CM11 and the latest Endomondo from the Play Store.
