I'm in a bit of a problem....I'm trying to save battery in areas with poor to no gsm coverage BUT I need gps for boating. The thing is that whenever I switch the phone off, the gps is not working. Any ideas on how to overcome this?
HTC Triinity, original rom, WM5, OziExplorer & "cached" Google Maps.
Thx in advance
You could try an external batterij, which i'm using for nearly the same reason.
Solved
The GPS actually works when phone is off! It only seemed to me since Google was not fast in giving me the location using the GSM...
It only seems a bit longer until GPS fix

Hello, I'm having some problems with the gps. When i turn on the gps and am in google maps the cellphone just stops working. I'm using rom v.2.0 RC0.
What's the solution?
Thanks. I'm a Llama
mine working fine (rc1), but after switching off gps icon stay in statsu bar...
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 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?
Hi, i just made this account to post this problem here and I hope I find help. My s5 is not rooted and brand new (3 days?) with the version 6.0.1. My phone does see the satellites but it doesn't locks on them so I don't have GPS at all except with WiFi and the other things but that is kinda useless and not accurate. If I really have to I would root my phone cause it's annoying as hell and I'm a traveller so I need that and I don't always have internet. Hope you can help me
Kind regards
Same problem, similar situation, using SM-G900A, Galaxy S5 with AT&T. Satellites show with GPS Tools app, but Google Maps and Waze don't find GPS location. Tried many things, including factory reset. No joy...
