Hey there,
I have a problem with my S4. It doesn't use glonass, although it receives the satellites. With omega v34 (Touchwiz Rom) everything is fine.
Outside the house, it may use 1-3 glonass satellites, although it receives 7 with good signal.
Does anybode know a solution for this?

I'm currently on CM10 B4 but have had this issue on revolver and Raymans JB build 6.0. Gps used to work fine on stock and ARHD.
Faster fix does not seem to change anything. GPS test does not seem to be finding any satellites.
Any suggestions to try to get GPS working?
My GPS has been working fine until I installed Cyanogenmod on my U.S. Cellular Galaxy S4 (SCH-R970). It shows the icon in the status bar when it is searching, but it never finds the GPS.
I have tried a few apps from the market (GPS Status & Toolbox, and GPS Status - Test & Fix, GPS Test). After resetting/reloading the A-GPS data, it still could not find my location. I saw that I could flash a radio to my phone and that may be able to help, but I'm not quite sure what that will do, or what radio to get or much at all about that part.
It seems like I am getting a few satellites in use, but not enough to get my location.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I would like to get this working soon.
Thanks.
Hi.
I've recently upgraded my i9500 to 4.4.2 (stock XXUFNC2).
Everything works since the update except for GPS. I've tried plenty of "solutions"; AGPS Data, resetting it, etc. I'm positive I'm on the correct server for my region. The issue is the awful satellite signal I'm receiving. It "freezes" and loses signal every 2 seconds or so and I'm unable to drive with that. What do you guys suggest?
Hi Guys,
So I am having a bit of an issue with cyanogenmod and GPS where my phone can only get location from Cell Phone Towers and WiFi and never actually connects to GPS signals when I am trying to uses Google Maps/HERE Maps. I could live with out GPS if my WiFi network gave me the right location but it never does so What do I need to do to fix this headache.
Thanks in advance, Tech.
I have the same problem at this moment, I'm running PureNexus rom and my GPS was working super bad while in USA and right now I'm in Russia and it doesn't work at all here, just like you've described.
Could you please tell me if you find some sort of solution?
I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (serranoltexx) running LineageOS 14.1 since 2018. Some time ago I'm experiencing such a strange problem with GPS fix. GPS chip can find satellites quickly with a strong signal (4 and more satellites) but can't get stable GPS fix. It may get GPS fix for a few seconds and then I need to wait again for the next GPS fix. It means that GPS fix is unstable. I can see the same behavior in any app for example gpstest.
Could you please give me advice how to troubleshoot this issue with the poor GPS fix?
In the logcat I can see the following entries after the GPS fix is losing:
Code:
04-17 21:32:48.092 598 1063 E LocSvc_ApiV02: W/virtual int LocApiV02::setGpsLock(unsigned int):3033]: Set engine lock failed. status: eLOC_CLIENT_SUCCESS, ind status:eQMI_LOC_ENGINE_BUSY_V02
04-17 21:34:08.358 598 1063 E LocSvc_ApiV02: W/virtual int LocApiV02::setGpsLock(unsigned int):3033]: Set engine lock failed. status: eLOC_CLIENT_FAILURE_INVALID_PARAMETER, ind status:eQMI_LOC_SUCCESS_V02
I'm tying to understand if this problem is related to the software defect i.e. LineageOS 14.1 or to the hardware - maybe GPS chip is almost dead. Also tried to Google these but no luck. I would not like to change the phone with no reason because it's very compact and handy. Thank you in advance.
Another question do we have here happy users who are still using S4 mini devices and not complaining on GPS performance with the lineage-14.1-20180624-nightly-serranoltexx-signed image?
I have the same problem Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (serranoltexx) with LineageOS 14.1. After repairing GPS it works briefly and then stops using GPS satellites even though it shows that it has found several 15 or more, but it does not get stable data from any.
I solved this problem on the software level. First I discovered that GPS fix is getting pretty fast when the phone in airplane mode. Then I replaced my SIM card. But this was useless in this case because the problem has been fixed finally after upgrading the Real Time GPS tracker application. I think that due to the software bug in this 3rd party application my GPS chip went crazy. Now seems all works good as before. I have tested it already for a few weeks.
That's good to know. So I'm going to look for which of my applications using GPS can do this a problem.
Thanks you
The problem is back from time to time. Sometimes rebooting of the device is needed to get the stable GPS fix.
GPS chip in this device supports GLONASS. But when I'm using GPS Test application I never saw that GLONASS satellites are really connected.
Can anyone confirm that GLONASS is working on these devices?
[ROM][I9190/I9192/I9195/L520/R890][Unofficial][11.0.0] LineageOS 18.1 for S4 Mini
Upgrade has solved all problems with GPS that I had. Even GLONASS is now working what was never worked in 14.1.
