Rooted my G1 yesterday for the first time and installed
GreenRomProject-Presents-CyanogenMod-7.1-D/S-08/06/2011
H-BOOT 1.33.013d
Radio 2.22.27.08
Everything seems to be fine EXCEPT my GPS isn't working - When I hit my location in maps it says to enable a My Location source in system settings - I have use GPS satellites checked and use wireless networks unchecked - if i check use wireless networks it will get me my location but doesnt solve the problem why GPS isn't working. Also when I use facebook and try to check-in with places, facebook crashes (I'm assuming its trying to use GPS and for some reason it can't).
I was having the facebook crashing problem prior to this and didnt notice if GPS was working or not prior to this so I'm wondering if something got messed up during the rooting of the phone or is my GPS somehow not enabled? I don't even get a satellite icon in maps or facebook. Any help ?
anyone ?????
try reflashing
Same problem here with Laszlo's Froyo, seems that switching on/off GPS in settings doesn't do anything. Normally I got a blue color on the LED, nothing happens there either.
Very fast MOD, but I definately want to get GPS working!

Try different ROM. See if you get the same problem.
Right, got it working. Don't know what did the trick, changed radio to v2.22.28.25 (from 2.22.27.08) and installed "GPS-test-plus" (gps-test-plus-version-1-1-3 from androidxmarket) after I started the gps-test program my location changed to the right one in my case from Holland to Sudan (!)
Maybe this could be helpful to anyone.
Glad everything works out.
I tried many Android NAND ROMs for HD2.
Everything works fine except when I start to use Google Maps with GPS enabled my phone stops working and I cannot doanything other than taking off the battery and start it again.
My HD2 is not the T-Mobile one. Thats all I know about it !!
Are there any other apps that make your phone behave the same?
Have you tried using GPS with an other application ?
Are you sure you have this issue under all ROMs ?
This is the only app that I am always taking off the battery to use it again and taking off the battery until I reaches the location I want !
I have not tried the GPS with other apps except Google Maps.
I will try it and post the result here.
I am sure I have this issue under all ROMs I have tried. But not all the ROMs in the universe .
I am keeping tring that but no use!
I think the issue is only with Google Maps.
I tried MapQuest app and GPS Test app and they worked fine without any problem but when I started the Google Maps the phone stopped working "hanged"!!
This happened only if I turnd the GPS on and started Google Maps. But if GPS is off the Google Maps is working fine.
Any help.
What's your Google Maps version? Are you on the latest version ? If not, try upgrading it and see if it resolves your issue.
Whenever I start Google Navigation, either from maps or on it's own, I keep getting the message 'waiting for location' and 'searching for gps', even though my gps is locked. I have tried clearing map data and cache then starting again, but am still getting the same problem.
I have no problems using Google maps and getting a gps lock.
My nexus 7 has just been updated to v4.1.2 and is rooted and unlocked with no custom recovery installed. Everything is still on stock too.
Can anyone help?
Thankyou.
Would it be because I am rooted?
I have been googling with no success
Rooting is not the problem as I have used it and gotten it to work. Since the N7 has no data connection and probably no wifi connection while you're out you would need to have the map area cached.

I've only tried to use it indoors with my wifi (my gps locks on indoors fine). I can't get past the 'waiting for location' message. I'm sure it worked fine before I rooted and unlocked it using wug.
Are you on 4.1.2? Just wondering if that's causing the problem.
Everything else works fine.
How weird!! Google Earth wouldn't find my location either so I re-booted my Nexus (yet again) and now Navigation has started working along with Google Earth!
I had already re-booted my nexus several times before, but nothing changed, so I don't know what happened this time to make things work properly?
Peace has been restored.... for now!

I am having the same problem but I am not rooted and rebooting doesn't help. With GPS on (confirmed with GPS Test), if I do not have WiFi available I cannot get location info in Maps (but I can in CoPilot). I have tried rebooting several times.

Has anyone else noticed the maps app and the nav app not registering the gps signal? I checked the GPS with gps essentials and it works fine but the maps app and navigation don't get the signal. The gps icon shows locked on in the toolbar but says "waiting for location" in the nav app? This was working fine right before I did the 4.2 update..
Just updated along with 30 other app updates and don't have a problem with this.

Yes is all over the place...
Navigator starts and has a GPS fix on my location in less than 10 seconds. Under 4.1.2, it just kept searching. Maps worked, Navigator didn't. Seems our problem was ass-backwards.

All GPS apps working as should on the setup in my Sig. They also worked fine when I was on 4.2 Stock rooted and the stock kernel.

I had this problem with the 4.1.2 update and a factory reset was finally needed to fix it.
My so nexus 7 32 GB has the same issue ? but my nexus 7 32 GB 3g works fine ? I will try a f/reset on hers when she gets home from work !
Not looking forward to it , she had it sents Nov 4th and I have to set it up the same way it is now

That could be why mine now works. I when to 4.2 (from Trinity kernel), I went to stock 4.11.... Then to 4.2. Never thought that doing a clean install may have been what "cured" my problem. BTW...the only app that didn't work was Google Nav. Go figure.

My maps works if I have the Wi-Fi location source enabled but I want the GPS as the source, so only that is enabled and maps just searches as does navigation but if I open gps essentials with only gps enabled it works fine and gets at last five satellite real quick. Then I switch right to maps with a gps lock already established and it acts like gps is non-existent.. boo 4.2! I used this navigation app a lot damn it

Exactly what I saw after the 4.1.2 updare. A hard reset was needed to fix it.
I wiped and installed the factory 4.2 image to fix it. Drastic, but effective.

I am currently having this issue on the 4.2.1 update. Sygic seems to navigate fine, and my GPS toolbox says the same.. but navigation and maps totally fails (for a few seconds, maps placed me hundreds of feet off, but now it shows nothing..
I have the same issue on my GSM Galaxy Nexus with 4.2. Locus and others apps work just fine, but Google Maps and Navigation don't use gps. But at top bar, there is an icon show me that gps was fixed...

This did the same thing to me also after the 4.1.2 update and 4.2.1. Tried to find a fix for it both times and never could. Had to do a hard reset both times.
4.2.1 broke GPS in offline GMaps
I updated my N7 OTA to 4.2.1 from unrooted 4.2 yesterday and just noticed that GPS no longer works in Google Maps offline. The GPS icon obtains a fix as well as GPS Test app confirms satellite fix. But in Maps, it goes from "waiting for location" to "...unavailable".
My N7 was previously rooted under 4.1.2 before I went to 4.2. I performed a factory reset under 4.2 and kept it unrooted. I can't confirm whether I tried to use GPS Maps offline after going to 4.2.
Between the shortened battery life under 4.2 and now the inability to use GPS offline, I'm seriously debating about reverting back to a clean 4.1.2 and start over.
Did the update yesterday and after reading this thread I downloaded a couple of GPS apps and tried Google Maps with wifi sources turned off. No problems finding signal and getting a lock quickly. Mind you, I have a stock OS, no root as I just bought my N7 on Saturday.

Sadly, I am not rooted either, but right now, maps is hosed. Mind you, given that this is a WiFi tablet, it isn't huge ( I prefer 3rd party solutions more), but this is still something that shouldn't happen..
There's something in common you guys have, something to figure out... because GPS/Maps/Navigation etc is fine on my N7 on 4.2.. I haven't seen 4.2.1 yet.
edit: Just got 4.2.1, GPS is still fine. Holds sats, Google nav is happy, etc.
Re-enable Google apps access to location:
Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Location Settings -> Let Google apps access your location
Hi All,
As per the title, my GPS is not working when using navigation mode in Google Maps or Waze. It always says searching for GPS. Waze cannot lock onto a GPS signal either.
I'm using a stock Nexus 6P with the latest patch. My sister using a stock Nexus 6 is also having the same issues.
Doing a quick search on twitter has also found other users having the same issues on a number of different devices so i think a recent update of some sort may have killed it.

I've tried a factory reset etc.
same issue here, when I tried to revert back to 6.01 it's still failing
Same here in Pokemon-go.
