Hello All,
Since i got it, my S5 for some reason calculates through mobile and wifi that my location is near Liverpool when in actual fact i'm in Barnsley. When my GPS kicks in, it corrects it but only for a while and it will relocate to Liverpool. Is there any way to calibrate?
Version is G900F non-rooted.
Thanks in advance

hello everyone. i'm on aurora light currently everything works great but i face a problem with my gps. it seems like it gets the wrong location and shows that im in another town far away from where am i. i tried a lot of playstore apps. they seem to work from time to time but not always.
anyone facing the same problem? maybe someone having a solution?
thanks in advance
hi there,
i have a s4 i9505 which has been rooted and is running davdh's pure nexus rom.
i've got a bit of a problem with the gps - it locks when i first turn on maps but loses signal subsequently. signal stays lost for a few mintutes (maybe 2-5, it depends) and locks for a second or two before the signal is lost again.
i've had a look at several forums and it seems like its a common problem for the S4 Active, S3 and Note II. those problems were fixed when some users flashed a different modem - there seems to be a consensus that the problem is caused by overheating caused by the radio.
I was wondering if anyone here had a similar problem with their i9505, and if so, did you manage to fix it?
also, might anyone recommend a fix/modem version that might fix this?
Cheers
Hi, I use my GPS frequently on my Note 4 but ever since I updated my phone to 5.1.1 it will not lock on to my location.
It will give directions, but the pointer does not move and it has a big light blue circle around, and when it does move, it goes all over the place.
When I did my update, my phone did a factory reset, so I know that wont fix the issue.
Here's a pic of what I always see even during naviataion: http://i.imgur.com/nBgUCaj.png
I'm almost giving up on this to the point of where I want to get a new phone, that's one feature I can't live without.
Any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks everyone.
I had terrible fix issues with my GPS. I switched from wanamlite rom to sweet rom, now my GPS works again!
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
Hi guys,
I've got an A2017G running A2017UV2.1.0B12 (So European running American firmware).
It's been working great for years, but recently the GPS antenna stopped fixing satellites. Previously the GPS was a bit slow, but I'm confident it was working to some extent. Now it's unusable.
It does see lots lots of satellites when I run the GPS status app, but does not lock to any even after resetting the AGPS data, recalibrating the gyro and accelerometer... I've tried installigh stock A2019G firmware and the problem was not resolved. I have made some hardware changes over time (battery and vibration motor), but I'm not sure the problem started after one of them. Yesterday I opened the phone and tried to identify the GPS antenna contacts, but wasn't sure which ones I had to look at. They all seemed to make good contact and I even tried forcing a contact with alluminium foil. Nothing. GPS Status reports the GPS sensor is working, not sure if that's reliable data. Does anyone know where the GPS antenna is?
I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or maybe something went wrong with the firmware radios (not sure I fully replaced everything replaceable when I installed European software).
Any ideas? Thanks!
