Anybody else have a problem where Google Now stops showing weather updates? I've tried everything listed in threads in other forums on this problem, including turning Google Now on and off, turning weather on and off, changing weather settings, etc. Nothing seems to be working.
Not a huge deal, of course. Just bugs me...
I have same problem, went missing today

I don't have it either. It won't respond to weather either, it'll just show Google results. I'm running a euroskank kang of cm10.
Same here, my weather card in google now has completely gone. Same on my wifes galaxy S.

Mine started going mad yesterday too. First it started learning me thousands of miles away in Reston, US (looked like it was at some google offices) when I'm in Mexico, then weather card disappeared and won't come back.
Even google maps put me in Reston. GPS Test gave me an accurate location and sometimes when I turn wifi off Maps relocates me correctly but turning on wifi again screws it up.

I have the same problem, Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1. I tried connecting to various wifi networks, and no matter, when I have wifi turned on the "Google's Location Service" puts me in Reston. I live in Calgary, Canada, but it thinks I'm state-side. And Google Now shows me the weather for Reston, and gives me the USA/Canada currency exchange rate because it thinks I'm travelling.
Just noticed this today, and the only way to prevent it is to turn off wifi as far as I can tell. server-side problem as well?
so, today, i needed to look up driving directions and my phone would not lock in. i thought it was kinda strange, so when i got home i did some research. attached are the gps test results. I know that it's the phone, because when i checked it on my nexus 10, it locks in right away. i tested both of them next to each other. i tried using the gmps status app to clear A-gps data and doing resets with the gps status apps, but it did not help. it's no driving me crazy since most people are happy with their gps in the nexus 4 and seem to be able to lock in within seconds. i've left maps on for minutes with no success. i've already checked both google settings in the accounts and location to be on.
i recently started charging my phone with the lg wireless orb. do you think that's the issue? how can i fix this? it's driving me crazy.
It seems to see the satellites, but can't lock in.
You've tried rebooting, right?

This happened on my first nexus 4. Nothing fixed it. Nothing. Hopefully your situation is different. If nothing works, flash back to stock and start the RMA process. Google said it was a hardware failure with mine by the way.

Did your happen when you first got it or after you had it for awhile? And what's the RMA process

The periodic loss of signal was there since day. I still have it on my new one. Others do as well, but one day it went out and never came back on. I believe it was a different issue than just random signal loss. Google said hardware failed in it. You have to contact Google to start an RMA. I'm also not implying that your signal won't come back on at some time either. Personally I would flash everything back to stock. Go to a t mobile store and get a new Sim card and if no signal still then contact Google

Under settings, then data, then mobile networks, then to network operators.
let it search, even if it doesn't find anything or errors.
Then click choose automatically.
If you frequently travel out of 3g/H areas, you need that checked or the phone won't roam from tower to tower. you will get no signal.
Also, if that don't work, you can try clicking on a network it finds, and let it register, your signal may come back.
This is a common problem with those that don't live in big cities or near full strength 3g/h areas.
The phone doesn't handle tower handoffs well. Crappy LG modems.

I'm currently going through the RMA process over virtually the exact same issue. However, I've been running franco's nightlies lately and up until he restored the HSIC/wifi stuff to stock in r154 I was actually experiencing less data drops and rapid tower swapping (constantly going from 3g to H and back rendering consistent data inoperable). *shrug* I feel as if it's something in the hardware on the cusp of failing because sometimes it does it more and sometimes it does it less. It's rather weird. I'm also on T-mobile towers through an MVNO (Straight Talk).
I just cancelled and switched to ATT go phone.
I have RMA'd 2 devices, tried multpie new simcards, relflashed, tried new radios, and nothing worked.
It no longer switches from 3g to H on ATT network.
It stays in H constantly.
Also, no more signal drops or loss of signal.
I have 100% signal all the time now.
The data is a little more expensive, but worth it for the coverage so far.
It's not your phone, it's the tmobile network.
Damn it! Had phone for over a month. Just used gps and its not good. Hope it can be fixed with update.
Works fine if WiFi on-but needed it to get home tonight and it is a big problem. Can't get closer than 1 mile) and in and out lock

That's weird... mine works great and is a super quick lock... accurate too! If it doesn't get fixed w/ an update i would exchange it... I used to have the Galaxy S and it had an issue w/ the gps antenna not being soldered right into the board... maybe an issue w/ yours, you will have to see.
Do a search for fixes. I saw one posted somewhere that was flashable.

Well, I apologize as there are a few threads on this. Seems to be a real issue. In demand, did you then off WiFi and try? With WiFi mine is spot on.
Lot of threads -no solutions I'm afraid. A few got new phone so no help. A few tried flashing apk's but no help. Hoping firmware?

Wait a minute, you don't know how to get back to your own house? And you were within a mile? Sorry, this just made me giggle a little. Glad you got out figured out.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Haha. Meant can't lock within a mile. In this case "home" meant a hotel to make matters worse.

I'm experiencing the same problems with mine. It can't get a good lock on my location. I thought it was a google maps issue so I downloaded waze but the problem persists. GPS Status app says I'm connected to 4/12 satellite when I'm outside. I want to return it, but my rootchecker has been tripped. It won't reset even after restoring to stock 4 times. In download mode it says "unrooted" for about an hour before going back to "ROOTED" in all red letters. Any help is appreciated.
Having issues keeping a lock after getting my initial lock. Been posting below in another thread.

I'm not getting great gps accuracy with this phone. Usually between 16-30 feet. My other devices are accurate up to 3 feet. I'm wondering what everyone else is getting with this phone. Using GPS status from the play store.
I just tested. I'm getting 10-12 feet.

gps signal drops
I noticed that when I am using a map program like Waze or google Maps, the gps signal gets lost more often than when I had the Note 3.

That's GPS Test /GPS Test +(paid). Great app.
I've noticed this as well when playing the game ingress. I wonder if it's due to the steel frame? My Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5 was spot on.
Hmm.
Never thought about that.
My GPS does seem to perform better now that I have FireKat ROM on my phone.
Re tested.
Rooted running Firekat ROM and using some tweaks from the lag thread. GPS assist is running in the background.

I too tested it on FireKat and got the same results. 10 ft. Makes me think it can be enhanced by a software update. Maybe in a future patch.

Depends on your location and how many satellites are in sight but ~3 meters/~9 feet is about as good as it's going to get with just GPS. Maybe if phone locks into some Glonass satellites it could do a bit better.

I made a change on the WiFi settings and my GPS signal improved. I put a check on "Always Allow Scanning." Because I remembered that I had taken it off to try another app and that was around the time that GPS stopped working correctly.
go to Settings>Wi-Fi>Advanced>Always Allow Scanning; Put a check on this option.
Google maps says GPS signal lost a lot with the note 4... doesn't seem very good at getting a location.
Definitely love the phone. Came from the s4. My first note. Thought I was the only one that noticed crappy GPS signal

I checked the scanning off because when driving using the maps WiFi spots pop up and I can't see where I'm going. LoL
To all those who saying they don't have issues with the GPS they probably don't use it enough to see that.
