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.

Have you tried GPS status app? It downloads gps data which help gps find signal. You must have your data connection enabled, via network or wi-fi. If it don`t help try to wipe gps cache

yes, i tried gps status, but no results. i get 1/1 fix/sat after few minutes, but no gps signal.

Maybe you were trying during bad weather? It can decrease chances to gain a good signal.

GPS issues in Satnav Apps

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get GPS working any better. I seem to all too frequently lose my GPS signal. It happens in Navfree and Endomondo and is very frustrating indeed. Thanks.

Try using the FasterGPS app from the play store.

^ this. GPS Status and its auto-download AGPS data feature is also very good.

Gps problem

Hi does anybody have a gps problem
My phone can't find any satellite

Switch all location services off in settings. ie untick both gps satellites and wifi location. Then power off, reboot and switch them all on again. Use gps test (chartcross) to see if you can get a lock. You can also reset agps data if it remains slow to lock.

I was worried too when I bought mine 3 weeks ago. Fortunately my gps works fine. I believe those that say there are batches with bad gps. Try replacement.

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...
