Have any of you frozen any apps/system processes? My GPS is solid and locks on in a few seconds.

I haven't altered any system apps or frozen anything. Is as close to stock as possible on jellybeans rom v2. I am thinking I may just have to go back to my stock rooted setup.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by odin flashing the MJ7 modem.
I'm on hyperdrive and also can't get a gps lock on a clear day. I tried everything from his gps quick fix in tweaks, fix permissions, gps fix apps, etc. I don't get a single lock. I'm on mj7 but maybe I need to reflash the modem? Where did you find the modem? I searched all over.
This sucks as I need the gps!

SAME problem! Super irritating!
I actually found the mj7 modem and reflashed but still get no gps lock whatsoever.
Bump please anyone I can not get a single gps either on stock it was instant please help just flashed the MJ7 modem and did not help the situation thanks.
Currently attempting to install a stock rom on another safestrap partition. I'll try establishing a gps lock on that to see if it can hopefully re-configure the gps.

Has anyone tried changing to their "stock" partition (with stock ROM on it) getting a GPS lock on the stock then going back to a custom ROM on ROM slot 1? This was the fix with the dual boot Note 2 going back in between 2 ROMs.

Currently in the process of doing this. I overwrote my stock rom with hyperdrive to save space, so I'm downloading/installing a stock MJ7 rom in one of the other slots. I'm hoping this works. I will report back findings
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------
I tested out the stock rom and got GPS lock immediately. Went back to Hyperdrive and still couldn't get a lock after 10 minutes. Popped back over to the stock rom and locked instantly again. Something isn't quite right..
---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------
Unfortunately I also can't post in the android development forums to let the dev know about my findings. If someone could do that and maybe even link to this thread that would be awesome. I've tried everything I could think and has been suggested at this point.
Another update - I installed a fresh flash of hyperdrive on another room slot and booted up to help rule out any application problems and the with the fresh flash gps did not work.
Just posted link in hyper drive thread and tagged developer hopefully we get a response to this issue we are having with gps.

Thank you very much good sir.
Seems like this issue might be being ignored. I'm amazed more aren't having this issue or just aren't using gps. The only difference I can think of is that I upgraded to MJ7 before flashing. I would think if it's not working after a clean flash that the gps issues would be very widespread. Maybe we can draw attention with a bounty. I'm certainly willing to contribute if this gets a fix.

I'm having this problem as well and I didn't upgrade to MJ7 before safestrap and hyperdrive. I found a temporary fix by going to google maps in your application manager and clearing data and cache but after a day of useage, it's back to not locking. Now the fix doesn't seem to be working, at least not from my backyard, i'll try it from the road and report back. Still, we need a real fix for this. I use GPS and google maps all day for work and I really can't deal with a problem like this.
anyone tried using gps status and check the number of satellites that you can possibly connect to (should be something like 0/18)?

I'm trying to figure out why your gps is not locking. I finished flashing cleanrom the other night and gps locked instantly. But it starting to look a problem because it's more than a handful of users with this issue. Did Beans or Sbreen get back to you?

First of all, thanks to all the guys who post on here and develop some of these great ROMs. I bought a Note 3 online that had a custom rom installed and no backup. The phone turned on and off and didn't work properly. Just reading these forums helped somebody who knew nothing about this stuff to somebody who was able to install the verizon stock back onto the phone, then root it, install safestrap and install two custom roms (jelly beans and lite). The phone works great with the exception of the following: when using the camera lines appear on the screen and show up sometimes on the pictures, secondly my gps is a little off and doesn't see exactly where I'm at and doesn't work properly. This is the same on both roms I boot from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Go back to stock and see if the problems persist. If so then it's the phone and not the rom.

The problem persists. I actually, read about disabling wifi and image stabilization and that's pretty much eliminated the lines when using the camera, but I can't figure out the issue with gps.
Download an app like gas status and see if that helps. Besides that just might be a defect.

3 week old S4, MF3 build, with safestrap 3.65, stock ROM in stock slot, using Hyperdrive RLS10.2 in slot one (flashed Hyperdrive, the ATT compatibility pack and the MF3 module (jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip)), GPS works perfectly when running Hyperdrive.
I deleted and recreated slot one and flashed SHOStock 2.3 and the MF3 module. All went well, except for GPS functionality. I can turn it on and I see the flashing icon in the left side of the status bar, but my apps do not see any satellites or get a GPS lock - tried GPS Test and GPS Status and Tools. To try and diagnose, I activated the stock slot and booted to stock. Same problem, GPS turns on but cant see satellites or get a lock. Then I deleted slot 1, recreated it and restored my Hyperdrive nandroid. Booted to Hyperdrive and GPS again works perfectly. But, If I boot to stock or restore my ShoStock nandroid and boot to ShoStock, GPS does not see satellites or lock.
Any suggestions as to how to diagnose/fix this problem?
Thanks!

For some reason, the problem went away on its own - but my ultimate solution was to leave ATT for T-Mobile and trade in the S4 for a Nexus 5. Having to use Safestrap to flash a ROM bugged me to no end, and I am loving the Nexus 5.

I had issues with my GPS once I upgraded to KitKat. Lasted for months with various ROMS installed and was going crazy after trying every fix that was out there.
Finally fixed the problem by flashing NB1 modem instead of NC1. Give that method a try if you are out of options...worked for me!

I also have such problem. Only in Hyperdrive I have GPS. Even on stock flashed by Odin I don't have it.
I read somewhere that it may come from CSC settings. Does anybody knows how to play with that CSCs and how to "copy" CSC from Hyperdrive to any other ROM?

Interesting. For me, so far GPS didnt work on CHAOS ROM and PHOENIX Rom. It works well in stock / imperium ROM / Hyperdrive ROM . I hope someone finds a fix for this. Phoenix is too good to not use everyday.
Solution Found. Check below. Its about changing the csc file. after changing it my GPS works awesome

This is what I did. I odin back to NB1 base. changed the CSC to UK code ( I couldnt find the US CSC codes listed ). Then installed the Phoenix ROM. Its woking like a charm.
I tried "every" custom kitkat rom and I never got a satellite fix. It works fine on stock and stock based jelly bean roms. I know that some others have the same issue. I'm on an 802. If you had the same issue and actually solved it please let me know. If you still have the issue, let's find out what we've got in common to find a solution.

I see dozens of satellites immediately but they never lock. Not after waiting for hours unfortunately.
You need to do a nandroid, wipe and install a stock based rom, get a gps lock, and then wipe and restore your backup. That's what I ended up doing (also installed the gps fix zip under stock because I still wasn't getting a lock), and it seems to still be working a few days later.

I had to do the same steps. Worked for me as well.
I waited half a year with starting this thread, hours later, @vertigo uploads a build of omni rom which has the issue fixed. Hooray!
Ok I have looked everywhere and tried many fixes including the AT&T fix (put me into a bootloop) and clean flashes... but nothing is working.
Here are all the steps that i have done.
I have a Bell note 3 that was rooted on JB. I sent it into repair after unrooting (it still said custom but i guess they overlooked that). When i got it back it was running KK official.
I rooted with autoroot and flashed X-note with Civz kernel and the wifi/nfc fix.
Now everything is running great and i still have knox 0x0 (which is good)
EXCEPT my GPS is not connecting. I am using GPS status and it will show that there are satellites to connect to and will take a really long time to connect, then it will drop everything and say that there are no sats to connect to...
I need my GPS and am willing to sponsor a beer+ for a working solution...
And is there anyone out there that has seen the same issue?
Thanks in advance
I rooted my note 3 with x-note! I was having trouble with the gps before and after rooting as a taxi driver it really is passing me off!

Try replacing the GPS config with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps
It worked for me and I'm also using a Bell N800W8. My GPS behaved perfectly while on stock, stock rooted (with custom recovery) and at a point after flashing several roms it broke. Now it requires this app to work. I've also gone back to stock (knox 0x0) and couldn't get a lock.
Obviously it's a software issue I'm just unsure why flashing the stock firmware didn't fix it and a fix is required.
Good luck!

No offence taken
I posted there twice and it got buried within the hour and never got ansered...
Im a volunteer EMT and i rely on my GPS to get to emergencies, i needed a resolution ASAP.
I ended up just flashing vision-x n900w and now the first GPS fix after a reset can take up to a min (but it gets a fix which is an improvement)
But subsequent fixes take only a couple of seconds.... so i guess i have to live with that...
Thanks for the help (and i'm usually good with forums but i had to make an exception this time)
I have the same problem not running xnote or with at&t. I was rooted with xposed. Have tried restoring stock with odin but still doesn't work. I can run a AOSP rom and it works fine so not thinking its a hardware issue. I will start a new thread as this isn't specific to xnote.

No, stock ROM. Never flashed a ROM, Knox 0x0.
I believe I found a solution. I have installed Greenify, but it was disabled under my accessibility services. Apparently that's how it is set by default after downloading it, even when rooted. I turned Greenify on under Settings < Accessibility < Greenify and rebooted my phone. I made a few calls and received one and no more Context Service Errors for me. I am quite curious as to what Context Services are and why Greenify would cause those errors as I do not see any information on it relating to the S5, so if anyone has any idea why this happens, feel free to shed some light on it.I wonder also if Context Services are safe to freeze..
Problem returned with a vengeance after several reboots. Now I boot the phone sometimes and there are no errors, other times and constant FCs. Could I have somehow gotten a corrupt Context Service apk when I flashed to Stock Odin, or the NCG or NE9 kernels? Anyone know what Context Services actually is and if it's safe to freeze if there isn't a fix? I found a similar thread for someone having this issue on the At&T variant and someone replied that his Context Service apk was possibly corrupt and that he PM'd him a new one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/help/context-services-stopped-t2837895/post54614539 If this is something that is possible to do, I would greatly appreciate it.. I've looked both on Google and here and there seems to be very little info on Context Services, so I do not wanna freeze something that's unsafe to freeze, but these errors are killing me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Totally removed Greenify and the problem is gone. I would love to use Greenify, but I would like to know I can do so without causing issues. Does anyone know how Greenify would cause ContextService FCs?
Logcat
i have a logcat of the issue occurring, both by itself and induced via having my girlfriend call my phone. i took this to the xposed forum first and was told it appears not to be module related. if anyone can give me any input on this, i would really appreciate it

Never had that but I did get documents have stop once an it never did it again not sure what was up with that ?
Is there an actual fix for the "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped" error? I really made a stupid mistake yesterday and froze some system apps in Titanium Backup. At first I was getting a bootloop when the OS tried to load the apps and thought I was going to have to wipe data, but I used adb push to send the entire system/app folder to my phone (got the files/folder from my wife's phone who has the same phone on same ROM - I'm 90% sure it is the rooted KOT49K/ANCG build of Verizon GS5). This adb push allowed my phone to boot entirely, but now everytime I boot the phone up, I get the Contest Service error message. So I just backed up Contest Service 2.0.3 using Titanium Backup on her phone, then put the 3 files it created onto my phone and tried using Titanium to restore Context Service 2.0.3 to my phone but to no avail. I tried restoring app only and also restoring app+ data but the restore never completes in TB (ive changed TB to INDIRECT mode too) but it doesn't fix the problem. When I start the restore, it does stop the error message from constantly appearing but only until the next reboot.
So does anyone know how I can stop from getting this error message? I have another working Verizon GS5 on the same ROM at my disposal.
