After updating to 5.1.1, the GPS on my N910G is useless for navigation. If I am still, it can pinpoint my location on "High Accuracy" setting but when I'm moving i.e. when using navigation, it never locks on. Setting location to "GPS Only" does not help either. Does anyone else have this issue?
I have a similar issue. After a reboot, the GPS locks for 2-3 minutes, and then stops locking until next reboot.
I just posted a thread about this!
I also can't get a lock after the update.
I tried so many things and I gave up , everything was fine before
I had terrible fix issues with my GPS. I switched from wanamlite rom to sweet rom, now my GPS works again!

Does anyone have problems with CM7's GPS problem. Everytime I go on Google Maps the GPS wont activate or even attempt to find my location. What gives?
1. Download and install GPS Status.
2. Run GPS Status. Are no satellites being dectected? If so...
3. Menu >> Tools >> Manage A-GPS state >> Reset
4. Reboot immediately.
Delete me now end it all
were you ever able to fix it? i have the same issue and have tryed everything and still cant get it to work
GPS is really finicky on gingerbread. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Even with the gps status app, you can't just up and use google maps. Its like this whole process of clearing the GPS, restarting your phone, and hoping it'll lock onto a satellite. Whereas with froyo, GPS always worked. I don't know why there's such a difference, but it sucks.

I have had the same flaky behavior with GPS.
I've noticed Maps & & Waze don't always enable the GPS.
What I do is pull down the power widget and toggle GPS off then on.
Then it starts searching for satellites.

GPS fix for CM7
Working fix for GPS problem on CM7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23707700#post23707700
The GPS on my phone has not been locking since I flashed CM7. I searched through some fixes but none seemed to help. I went back to the backup I had before I put CM7 on and the gps seemed to lock just fine. So I tried to flash while it had a lock but still nothing. I even tried using the GPS status app and that did nothing. Any other fixes that could help? Thanks
Have you tried flashing a different kernel? Maybe x99's or scaryghoul's as they are aosp roms their in the dev section. Always wipe your dalvik-cache b4 you flash a new kernel,I have very few issues when I do.

My GPS actually locks instantly after I flashed CM7 and x99
I have only one problem. Sometimes it'll lose a signal and will never get signal again on its own.
The quickest and only solution (that I know) is to quickly exit Navigation, then go in and tap on the most recent trip and voila, instant GPS lock again.
Not a huge problem, but a weird annoyance.

I assume you mean Google Navigation? If so I think that is a problem with Google Navigation itself. I have the exact same issue on my stock but rooted Shift. It will lose GPS lock, usually within the first couple of minutes. It then is never able to reestablish the lock on its own. If I exit Navigation and go back in, or turn the GPS off then back on it gets a lock and keeps it.
I just started trying Google Navigation. I have been using Telenav since getting the Shift about 2 months ago. With Telenav I never lost GPS lock.
i've found, atleast for me, that this tends to happen when i have GPS off, then turn it on to use it and open telenav and it just cannot find a GPS lock. so i leave GPS on and reboot my phone, open televav back up and it finds a GPS lock pretty quickly. it's like if i turn off GPS, i can't get it to work again until i reboot my phone...
needless to say, GPS sucks ass on this phone. i've never had a phone with GPS problems like this one. but other than that, everything is perfect.
mine happens when somebody attempts to call me, the lock disappears. after i ignore the call, like others have stated it locks on instantly when i go back into navigation. but i do prefer telenav over google... traffic is on point :]
i've been having gps issues, i think its a bug in google maps. havent had time to test root on it yet
It seems like nothing wants to work. I installed the x99 kernel and my GPS will still not connect. It seems like it will only connect when I'm on stock. For some reason I cannot get it to work with CM7.
Look up the ##gpsclrx# fix. I don't remember all the steps but it requires you to reflash a Sense rom, dial ##gpsclrx#, enter your MSL (found via MSL Reader on HTC devices), reboot, maybe clear cache, and then reflash your rom of choice. Fixed my CM7 gps issues (even with the MSL "password" prompt telling me that the password was wrong).
Nan to stock . Use GPS on stock leave it on. Nan to or redownload cyanogen and GPS will work. Happens to me when first putting in a rom sometimes.

I have this exact same problem with Google Navigation. It "loses the lock" after a few minutes like clockwork, but I can get a perfect one again right after, making me believe that it is the application and not the GPS. Is there any fix to this?? It really is annoying.

I also have the same problem. Would be interested in a fix because it's very annoying.
I have a strange bug on my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9506 and am hoping other people here have experienced and are able to solve the following:
I use my phone extensively for navigation whilst driving. I use Sygic as my sat nav app.
I have noticed that the location on the navigation app has been freezing at the location for a period of 2-10 minutes and then regains location for a minute before freezing at the last location again. This seems to happen every morning on my morning commute to work, however 95% of the time it works flawlessly on my return trip home!
I have tried using other nav apps such as Navigon and even Google Maps to isolate the nav app as the problem but they also seen to experience the problem. GPS Toolbox also loses location and regains when used.
I have found that if I exit my nav app and then re-enter it, the location appears to update for up to a minute before losing gps connectivity again!
I am running stock Android 4.4.2, Baseband version: I9506XXUCNF3, build number: KOT49H.I9506XXUCNH4. Phone is NOT rooted.
I am based in Brisbane, Australia if is a location-based issue?
I have even tried doing a factory-reset and reinstalled only the apps I use and the problem still appears!
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help here with useful suggestions and solutions as this has really been frustrating me for the past couple of months and searching for help!
So I recently flashed CM11 on my LG G2 (Verizon). After some initial troubles, I managed to get everything working just fine, except for the GPS. Even when I turn on high accuracy location services, the GPS will place me within a few hundred feet of my location at best when I'm not connected to WiFi. If I try using maps to navigate somewhere, all I'll just get a GPS lost notification soon after I start it, and then my location will randomly hop around as I drive within a few thousand feet of my actual location. I'll never actually get a GPS lock or have it be accurate enough to give me directions. This all worked perfectly fine on stock, so it can't be a hardware issue of any kind. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any idea how I may go about solving this?
Thank you
bump
I'm having a similar, if not the same issue. New D802 Intl LG G2, GPS was fine in stock.
I installed CM11 Snapshot M11 and GAPPS, and Google Maps is unable to use the GPS. Interestingly a 3rd-party apps such as the popular "GPS Status" and Co-Pilot apps work fine.
When I load Google Maps and it sits there looking for a location, the location icon doesn't appear in the notification bar. However when I use "GPS Status" the notification icon appears instantly and gets a lock quite quickly.
I notice a few mentions of GPS issues on the CM11 bug tracker but they say resolved -- https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-199
I just tried the latest nightly 20141022 (dirty update), but still the same issue.
I only just spent the necessary couple of hours to get the phone setup so I'm a little unwilling to do it again until the weekend.
I've found that sometimes I can't get a GPS lock and have to restart the phone to get one. It makes using Waze a pain.
No.

I'm having the same issue. Annoying.
Never had any issues. In fact this is the first phone in a while that does a pretty decent job of it
on XT1575
checking my gps using "gps status" app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cochibo.gpsstatus&hl=en)
GPS is on, able to see 20 satellites. I have a lock on 0 / 20.
No GPS locked quickly
You been outside or inside house?
Outside
I've had to toggle from the settings to get it to work without rebooting.

I've never had an issue with my GPS. You should go to settings> location and see if you phone is in high accuracy mode. Both my moto X's came with battery save mode as the default.
Tried.
I've also factory restored. I will try again this evening.

It was already there. I use Waze every day. Sometimes it won't lock. I have to toggle GPS to get it to work again.
I think it might be a Waze problem. When it happens to me I just close Waze, start GPS Status app, and restart Waze with both running, and it locks right away. No other apps have this problem. Waze still hasn't fixed the semi-random shutdowns that it does in the past 2 years of use, so I don't expect a fix for this GPS problem either.
I never had the problem with my 1+1. It was always immediate. Waze hasn't shut down on me with either phone.
Random GPS lost fix during Waze navigation - suddenly Waze reports GPS lost fix - only happened to my with my Sony Xperia Z3. It happens when I put the phone on my lap - I guess putting it in a mount close to the windshield will improve this issue.
Still very disappointing as OPO, Meizu and other cheap chines phones never gave me this issue.
GPS lost
I'm experiencing the same issues since the beginning. It happens in all GPS applications. Not only in Waze.
I'm using Endomondo to track my runs. I have gaps of several kilometers. Sometimes, the lock won't come on without switching the GPS off and on.
The same issue for Pokemon Go.
I returned my phone and they replaced the mainboard.
That didn't fix the problem!
Did anyone fixed the problem?
I frequently get a message in Waze about no GPS. Typically if I kill Waze and restart then I get the GPS signal.
I only see GPS problems in Waze.
I got this all the time in Dirty Unicorns 10.6, when I switched ROM's I had no more issues.
I'm still on stock image. Not rooted yet.
I applied
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
which is suggested for Moto X Play (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/help/gps-issues-x-play-t3248283) and Moto G (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-gps-custom-rom-backup-special-t2909768/page3).
Simioni (post 15 http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/help/gps-issues-x-play-t3248283/page2) suggests it's related to 3G connection.
I will do some trials.
If your rooted try FasterGPS, if not GPS Status & Toolbox can update aGPS info... Might help too.
I went for another run today and the part that was missing was now tracked perfect.
"Erase modemst" seems to fix my problem.
