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 :-/

Hey guys,
I have discovered a strange behaving of the GPS on my Galaxy 3. I'm running the CM 7.2 alpha 8 with the G3Mod kernel (by Arakmar) + ICS Look (but I don't think that this theme is causing the problem). And I have a modded gps.conf, I can upload it, if it's needed.
My GPS works great, if it works. While chilling on a window bench it catches up to 10 satellites, and 6-7 with fix. But this only happens sometimes. About 4 of 5 times I try locating myself, no satellite is found, even after 5 minutes. But if one satellite is found (after restarting GPS and GPS-App: GPS Test or GPS-Status), it locates me very clear after 60-90 seconds.
I tried this maybe 15 times the last hours (weather is ok for GPS). I just got 3-4 fixes in the hole time. I rebooted after some tries and updated AGPS-Data a few times.
I wouldn't say, that this is a hardware problem because when it fixes, it fixes nearly perfect. :/
Does anybody else have this behavior with his/her Galaxy 3? Can anyone tell me, what's wrong, or/and how I can fix this?
Thx, and sorry for my bad english

Try to restart GPS/AGPS service and turn on/off the airplane mode.
Also it's helps to take off the battery for several seconds on some phones =)
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,
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.

I use Runtastic Pro on an almost-daily basis and haven't had any issues with the GPS at all. When I've needed it, Google Maps has been pretty flawless as well.
try GPS test. On a cloudy weather my MXP seems to have trouble with the GPS. And this started to happen when I've removed few motorola apks from the system
I'm having GPS gliteches as well, it started with the 6.0 or 6.0.1 Update...
My XT1563 seems to have GPS issue as well. If I don't use GPS for a few days then the GPS is very spotty, can only get 5-6 fixes at most, and the signal would be lost every minute or so. But after using the GPS for about 20-30 minutes then it becomes very stable. I'm not sure what's going on.
today i made this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713 and locked satellites in secs.don't know if fastergps app makes the same and didn't test it much time to see if signal is stable...
Hi there my GPS was very quick under Kitkat with immediate fix and perfect compass. Under Stock Lollipop it still worked well enough. Since I use [5.0.2][D802] Google Edition 1.5 my compass doesn't work anymore and GPS doesn't fix at all or takes 10 minutes shows wrong location and looses signal again
I don't know whether the problem is the ROM or that my phone fell down hundreds of times.
Anyway I already tried the apps fasterGPS, gpsStatus and TopNTP without success and did the cardboard mod hardware wise.
Please help I want to play Pokemon Go
