Just want to list out the 3 tips that really helped with GPS locks (for me):
1. d/l "GPS Status" and aGPS reset/download (this thread);
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11872531
Thanks to neh4pres!
2. use "GPS Status" d/l to recalibrate magnetic compass;
http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate/97732-gps-probs-check-your-mag-compass.html
Thanks to j32driver!
3. modify /etc/gps.conf entry (requires root/temp root) changing NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org to NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org.

Thanks to calebv2!
Sadly, these fixes will not fix issues related to bad satellite coverage/visibility/interference. And won't fix EC09 fried SD cards, either.

Thanks for all the links and help here. My GPS has always been sub par. While it will still not lock on when I'm in my living room, it gives me fairly accurate locks when outside.

Glad to see this helped people.. For really stubborn gps locks, follow my original instructions after a fresh boot.

Bingo. I had updated to ED01 and was getting nuthin' at all from the GPS. Did the reset/update AGPS, adjusted the NTP server, and within 5 seconds or so had 8+ satellites and 14-foot accuracy. Sweet.

I had tried all listed suggestions above and still could not get a lock without a 2+ minute delay (and only using GPS Status could i finally get a lock)
I updated my radio to EC09 last night and Instant GPS!!
So excited about that I can even pull GPS without cell signal which i have never been able to do before.

Editing the GPS.conf work perfectly. I went from no locks to locking in 2-3 seconds.

as soon as vzw comes out with a dual core lte that i like, i will dump my fassy bc of the gps lock issue. i have tried every "fix" i could find since i got the phone over 1 year ago, and still have issues. whats odd is that i can have a perfect lock and use gps to arrive at a destination, but when i leave the building cant reaquire! sometimes a battery pull solves the problem, sometimes just 20+ min of waiting. uggg!

Helped me !!!
took just 1 minute in total LOL.
god bless mate .

I now use "gps aids" from market.. It seems to work little better.. Next time im at a computer I'll update op

The GPS.conf thing, I looked in mine and I have:
NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.north-america.pool.ntp.org

Note 3 GPS weird problem

Hi guys,
I have a Note 3 and use it regularly for GPS related things IE satnav and running. It worked fine for a long long time then it started slowly losing GPS signal. Now it hardly finds the signal and when it does its abit off and drifts around, i have a moto g and when i compare it to that its ridiculously poor in tracking and locking on! It never used to be like this, ive tried tightening the screws as well as the other thread with the pics where you bend the pins so they touch, its got no better. So eventually i decided i would try flashing a whole new ROM, so i installed Omega 4.4.2 v22, and amazingly i still have the problem - but heres the weirdest part, if i reboot into samsung safe mode - the GPS seems to work MUCH MUCH better - i cant test it fully as the only app i can use in safe mode is maps, but it seems more or less fixed when in safe mode! So if its a software related thing and i have changed the entire rom and the problem still exists - unless im in safe mode - how do you think i might be able to fix it permanently?
Thanks!

Logically, if Safe Mode doesn't have the problem, it's clearly another app causing it.
Do a full wipe and see if the problem exists before you install any apps.

I didnt install any Apps, i just installed Omega with all bloatware removed - full wipe with dalvik and cache wipe also and no extra apps, tested google maps - had the same problem as before, then rebooted into safe mode, and it worked fine, came back out of safe mode, tested maps again - problem came back. This is why im so confused!

Check the screws in the back of the phone... I had similar problem and there was some loose screws in the back of the phone

As i said above ive checked that and tightened them as much as i can, i even did the fix someone else posted to open the phone and bend the GPS contatc pins to make sure they touch the right place, still didnt help! This definately has to be a software problem somewhere as it works in safe mode, but ive tried 2 different ROMS now clean installs and the same thing happens, it works in safe mode, and doesnt in normal mode! Without even installing any apps! Its driving my crazy

First do NV back up and then clear and rebuild NV.
Here are instructions I copy from another thread.
1) Open Phone, go to the dialer.
2) Enter *#197328640# to enter the service mode. You will land at "DEBUG SCREEN"
3) Hit the menu key, select "Key Input" and in the Input Value box, enter Q (capital letter) and hit OK
4) Hit the menu key again, select "Key Input", and in the Input value box, enter 0000 (four zeros) and hit OK
5) Wait about 5-10 seconds, your service menu should change to "MAIN MENU":
Code:
MAIN MENU
[1] PROTOCOL STATE
[2] UE SETTINGS & INFO
[3] ETC
[4] DEBUG SCREEN(OPEN)
[5] OPERATOR(OPEN)
Now I haven't messed around in here too much, but if you want to reset your modem and GPS (restore the factory NV values for the modem, which COULD help data dropouts, bad GPS fix, etc.), do the following:
1) Enter the MAIN MENU as described above
2) Select option 2 "UE SETTINGS & INFO"
3) Select option 1 "SETTING"
4) Select option 2 "SYSTEM"
5) Select option 3 "NV REBUILD"
6) Select option 3 "ALL"
7) It will tell you to reboot. Do it. Reboot will take slightly longer, but it will completely reset the modem, GPS, and IMS settings

GPS not work SM-N9005

Hello all,
so,
I have a samsung galaxy note 3 n9005, but one thing does not work, the GPS ...:crying:
- Google MAP, with wifi or 3G / 4G I have approximate positioning.
without WiFi or mobile data, no GPS signal, but the GPS icon appears in the notification bar
I tried everything I've seen on the web, flash a new ROM, Kernel, Modem ... nothing to do.:crying::crying:
It worked very well under the official rom SFR, but nothing since. and can not go back
Currently, I can not change a Modem
It always strikes me: N9005XXUGNG1
Thank you for your help

Rom and Kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375

The common fix is, rollback to stock, enable GPS, install custom rom, it'll lock...
But you're saying you can't go back!
I'm on stock though

On dialer you type in * # 0011 # this USSD
Press the menu key> press back
Press the menu key> press the key input> Q
Press the menu key> press the key input> 0000
Wait for a few seconds and the screen will change options
Press on UMTS
Press on Common
Press on NV Rebuild
Press on NV Rebuild
Press on System, Protocol, GPS, IMS
Wait for 30 seconds and then shutdown your phone
Power On phone
GPS should work fine now
Recommend to use GPS STATUS app to reset and download AGPS Date

It should not be your ROM, I mean the chance is very minimal.
As I said previously, Note 3, for whatever reason depends on A-GPS data a lot. So it's actually normal that you are not getting a lock when there's no data. Do one thing, keep the data enabled, go outside, get a strong lock. Then disable data, and see. I think it should work. Assisted GPS data doesn't stay on device for long as far as I know. I think it gets cleared up at every reboot.
Download app GPS Status. By default the A-GPS download data I think is set at 12 hours interval or something, just set it to 6 hours or something.
PS: One more thing, I found a bug while using Google Maps, I saw that the GPS icon (in status bar) kept blinking as if my GPS was still trying to get a lock. Yet in practicality the phone already got a lock! I understood that by seeing Endomondo Pro (a fitness app which I use to track my walking and cycling) was showing as "GPS excellent", while that icon kept flashing on status bar. From that day I don't believe that notification any more. I only depend on apps like GPS Status from now.

My situation is that GPS doen't work in ANY S5 port.
It works in Lollipop as well as othes kitat rom thogh. :crying:
Any idea?

[Q] Checking device status... Please wait...

Hello. I'm getting this notification that won't disappear on my Galaxy S5 even if I tap it or try to swipe it that says "Checking device status... Please wait...". It's just there, and it has been ever since I started the phone after my sister gave it a factory reset about 3-4 days ago. I found out that it's the samsung dm service so I disabled it, but when I restart the phone it reappears. I tried to find the location with the root explorer but I can't seem to find it. Any help please?

I know what it is. These instructions are for those who use their s5 without cellular service and could not get a successful activation after reset because there is no network carrier responding to status inquiries.
Samsung s5 tries to launch "no touch activation" and "system update" after a factory reset. To put a stop to this, go to settings > system update (under the system tab) and uncheck auto-update. You are half-way there! Now go to settings > application manager. You will be on the "downloaded" tab, move to the "all" tab. Find! "Software Update" 696k and disable it. Now restart if you want to test it! That was for Galaxy s5 SM-G900P or similar models that get stuck in activation loop or are unable to complete activation because of a bad config and you are on an unlocked phone with a valid SIM card or other CDMA configuration and If you are getting this error while trying to activate or sim/uicc unlock and you believe it is a bad config, you will need to configure the "Service Mode" menu first. Root the phone. Open /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and modify its content from OFF to ON. Reboot. Open dialer and input *#0011# to enter "Service Mode" menu. Wait for at least 10 seconds and look for the three dots icon in the upper right. Press it and select "back" from the drop-down menu (not on the bottom of the phone.) Now wait ten seconds and press the three dots and select "Key Input" and enter the letter uppercase "Q" and press "ok". Wait at least three econds and go key input and enter six zeros, "000000" and press Ok on the seventh flash of the cursor. Wait up to 30 seconds for the secret menu to appear. If it does not, enter Airplane Mode, reboot, and retry. If by chance you are seeing a blank page, reboot and try again and if still blank, root your phone and start over. Still blank, you're done. Something's wrong with your phone. It ain't going to work for you. Once inside the menu, click item 2 "UE Setting", then inside that menu, click menu item "setting", then once inside that menu click "protocol", then once inside that menu click "[8] mscdma" and you'll see "1". Go to the menu in the corner and use option "Select" and it will ask for a row number. Type "0" and press Ok. Then press key input and enter "0". If you want to simunlock while you are in the menu (pointless on a CDMA model, those slots are for UICC cards not SIM cards but you may have success on GSM models but might be to get SSU to finish the job on 4.4.2 KK phones. This method works on 5.0 Marshmallow to use LTE from another carrier on the phone to get data and use Google Hangouts Dialer for a phone, etc. ) Redo all of these steps again to get to the menu where tmscdma was and click [9] uicc lock instead. Use the menu to toggle the On switch to Off. If you do not see the menu item, your phone is a CDMA and the slot is not a SIM locked slot, it's an unlocked UICC slot for LTE reception. Your slot is unlocked already, you are good to go. Whoever makes it this far should not be seeing the hands-free activation messages any longer. I hope hope this helps.

Without quoting your entire post let me be the first to say thanks for this. Even though I may be back with a query later as I don't have the time to do this all at the moment. Thanks! :good:

Move to different rom and /or root it and install some of many beautiful custom roms... i did that long time ago in multiple occasions and i never had regret for that

Searching using GPS... issue (Samsung Note 3)

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I want to know is there anyway to fix my Samsung note 3 GPS? I'm having trouble with my GPS that constantly keeps on showing "Searching using GPS". For some reason it doesn't lock my GPS to "Location is set", The Specs on my Phone is Samsung note 3 (SM-N9005), Unlocked, Region from Greece, and my android version is Lollipop. I did the most following method from researching my Note 3 issues lately and still no solution to get it fix. The result on my GPS Status&tools shows the result that my GPS shows fix 0/17 Sats.
Heres the list of what I've done.
1. opening up the back of my phone unplug my GPS and re-plug it to the mainboard
2.tighten the screws on the backside to get the 2 pins to be contacted
3.updated my phone to lollipop and I still get the same result with no GPS fixes
4.location has been set to high accuracy and already set a google location history checked.
5.Rooted my phone to fix the GPS, still no solution.
6.Disabled the mock location on developer menu.
7.Downloaded GPS Status& Tools and reset my A-GPS or download.
8.Same issue along with Kitkat update.
9.Open Google Maps as a background app
10. Updated google play services and still doesn't work.
That's all I've done. Any solution to get this fix? My carrier is T-mobile. I can still text, call, use mobile data, other than GPS.
P.S. I've been playing Pokemon GO with it. Every time I drive to a main event, my character doesn't move all it does is jump to a different street.
Thank you.

You may need to be on a stock ROM for this to work, but this is what fixed it for my N900W8 (gleaned from this thread):
1. Open the Dialer.
2. Enter *#0011# (hit the call button if nothing happens automatically)
3. Menu key -> "Back"
4. Menu key -> "Key input" -> enter Q
5. Menu key -> "Key input" -> enter 0000
Now, if you have an "UMTS" option:
6a. Tap "UMTS"
7a. Tap "NV Rebuild"
8a. Tap "NV Rebuild" again
9a. Tap "System, Protocol, GPS, IMS"
10a. Wait a minute, then reboot
If you DON'T have an UMTS option:
6b. Tap "UE settings and info"
7b. Tap "SETTING"
8b. Tap "SYSTEM"
9b. Tap "NV REBUILD"
10b. Tap "PROTOCOL, GPS, IMS"
11b. Wait a minute, then reboot
After that, GPS should work again! Note: If you're not on a stock ROM and that doesn't work, make a TWRP backup, then wipe everything but internal storage and SD, install a stock ROM (preferably not an Odin one that will overwrite recovery), follow that guide, then restore your backup but DO NOT restore EFS or Modem. Worked for me.

Reads like hardware or kernel as GPS is a kernel function .

Just recently followed your method and its not locking GPS location to set by. I am in Stock ROM, its just that I don't want to take risk of rooting my phone. Is it possible to root the phone and use the app called "Faster GPS" just to get a better GPS locking?

Strange, then. Try downloading GPS Locker, it'll show you a chart of signal strengths for each satellite. Do you get any signal to any satellite? The problem I had that my method fixed was that it was seeing the satellites, and getting green bars, but not locking on to them. If you're not getting any bars, you might need to take it apart and check on those pins again - they should be bent upward so they make good contact. Faster GPS is also good for speeding up, but I don't think it'll fix it if something's broken.

Try using FasterGPS, but if that doesn't work, you may need to check the antenna again. If you're outside with a clear view of the sky and you're getting that poor of a signal, it seems like the hardware could be your problem.

In case you're using metal case, remove it.

Well... I tried FasterGPS today and well... I still cannot get a locked Gps signal. *sigh* I guess its just my hardware then... Well thank you for the help Jaitsu. No worry, I can live without the GPS as long I can use my phone as a hotspot for my other GPS devices. Will replacing the mainboard resolved everything?

Hey guys, just posted in rom section, but i will ask here also.
I have same problem with GPS. My phone finds like 25 sattelites but doasen't lock for a very long time (if it do it locks to 2 MAX 3 sattelites)
I tryed everything, screweing the screws open the back and put the antena out, i tryed with different modems, latest i flashed it's POK2...
When runned on 6.0.1 phrorensis 1.0v rom i did as i wote before, and the GPS worked great, realy in a coupple of sec. it locked 1'0-13 satelites... but than suddenly it stoped. I don't know its a rom problem, it's my phone... I also tryed variuous Kernels... always the same
So mate Try lo tie the screws, try, to open the pack and "put out" the antena "pins" if that doasent work, try to upgrade ur modem and try different kernel.
So try this ( the video is for s3 but i's simmilar for n3 )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZKlsQF4LE8
if not try flashing new modem
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/
POK2. the newest is hlte_SM-N9005ZS/ ( well for my n9005)

At least you're seeing satellites... Which is more than I've got.
The latest Google Play Services has completely destroyed my GPS. It won't detect any satellites at all, and Google Play keeps scanning for Location even when every possible location setting is disabled.
Only way I can get satellites in view at all is to reboot with GPS off, then ONLY turn on the GPS. The second I select High Accuracy or Power Saving, it won't detect anything until I reboot. The seconds I open the Play Store, with or without location on, GPS is dead.
Thought it was my device dying (well, it is 3 years old), but my NotePro is doing the exact same thing since the exact same update. (It also won't detect 4G anymore, which, thankfully, isn't plaguing my Note 3....)

GPS problems - i solved it 4 me
So facing GPS problems?
I was facing it to, i tryed various things to fix it, i'did evrything i wrote down here
- Check ur csc version if it's not right you need to change it
i used https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...honeinfo&hl=sl
- try this app "FasterGPS" and insert ur location / country NEED REBOOT
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=org.fastergps
-Try to update modem and bootloader
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/
-Try different Kernels , here is the link to DL kernels (now im using Lss3.3
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=34872
- if still doasent work try to open ur phone and fix the "antenas"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t9vztad58g
I did all of these things than I let the GPS turned on. It locked the sattelites now its working like a charm it locks the sattelites in a few seconds.

Okay... I've done using fasterGPS and reboot to the exact location where I'm at, already opened the Antena, but now updating the modem and boatloader for my models seems to be lost. I haven't update it yet, but which SM-n9005 do I have to update with? Turns out mine is N9005XXUGB06 for the modem or bootloader. Btw, updating Kernel from Dark lord... Which version should I go for? Because I want to stay at official lollipop update instead of rooting it along with the update. I was thinking about maybe 1.6 - 5.1?

I only have GPS problem with locking and Satellites not being able to find my location. This phone is international (Unlocked) and the region is located in Greece. I didn't buy it from Greece, it was bought in USA. And yes, I'll try out the kernels once, I get something done.

Uhh, how do I install the Dark Lord firmware and backup my android files instead of using samsung kies 3.
Edit: Just install the kernels and the modem and it still didn't work.

What is ur CSC ? What is the CSC of the system ? Mybe is there the prob ? For darklord kernel u'll need a costum rom. U can find them in n3 devolepment. I'm using the phrorensis rom mm6.0.1 Its awesome.
Tell me gps locks the sattelites after a while ot no?

Suggest you use Gps fix from the market .
Download AGPS data.
Place phone in view of the sky and wait until locks on .
