GPS shows my location in another country. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I tried calibrating AGPS and did a cold restart and downloaded GPS assests, via GPS Status app. That didn't work out. This all happened after I flashed this Aroma installer custom ROM.
Any other suggested recourses of action?

[Q] Epic Dialer Code GPS setup/GPSCLRX

How do you know if these are working? I'm running DK17 and neither code seems to be working for me. GPSCLRX takes me to the enter MSL code and I input my correct MSL and then it gives me the option to reset the GPS. I press Yes but it does nothing. at all. the GPS setup doesnt even register. Has anyone else tried this?
BTW codes i used are:
*#1472365#
##GPSCLRX#

The *#1472365# code is known not to work with the Froyo ROMs. But the ##GPSCLRX# reset is reportedly working. What makes you think it is not? There never was any feedback after such a reset when using the stock firmware. The GPS cache just got silently cleared. Try your GPS using GPS Test.

Ah. I wasn't sure if anything was supposed to pop up when using the GPSCLRX or not. I did install GPStest could not find ANY satelites. I also tried installing BThomas' gpsfix but to no avail.
I'm stumped...

Did your GPS ever work after flashing DK17? There have been lots of reports here that the flashing itself breaks the GPS totally, and just clearing the GPS cache can't fix it. There also are published workarounds for this installation problem, but they do not include using GPSCLRX.

Now that you mention it, I think the GPSCLRX method was used before the leak was published. Before I went over to the Froyo betas, I used stock rom with phoenix kernel so I could take advantage of the MobileAP they had going on. GPS worked fine then, got to within 6 meter accuracy. Now I cant seem to get any satellites... Oh well, I guess I'll look around for more fixes...
this process worked for me.
i could not get any connection when romed to 2.2. After doing ##gpsclrx# i had to reload the nav app because they were deleted with the nav clearing. reloaded app and had sat connection in lessthen 10 sec. works great now.
running viper 2.6 dk17

Thats funny... When I typed in the code and then my MSL, it did nothing. Didn't get GPS signal or anything. Didn't even delete my Nav app... I even checked to see if I was getting any satellites to show up via the Market GPStool app thingy and couldn't get anything... I ended up going this route and it worked like a charm for me:

None of this is working for me.
My steps:
-Rooted
-Clean install of CM7
-GPS not working > researched...
-Backed up using Nandroid
-Wiped within Amon-RA
-Installed Fresh ROM (as per instructions to fix GPS needed a sense based rom)
-Once Fresh rom installed, opened dialer > ##gpsclrx# > nothing... no pop-up, nothing.
-Tried the EPST.apk fix > same results no lock on postion.
-Installed GPS Stats > still no luck, same huge blue radial around my general position... no lock.
Have no idea where to proceed from here.
Gps does not work with cm7 its only in alpha 4 .so your pretty much wasting your time with the dialer code

I'd suggest heading over to the forum for your phone.. Probably Evo or Hero if you installed a Fresh Rom..
Sounds like you deleted your RSA keys...

Assisted GPS vs 3G problem

Hello, everyone!
I have StreakDroid 1.9.0 installed, and I have a problem with Assisted GPS and 3G. When I leave "Use assisted GPS" check on, and start any application which uses GPS (like Google Maps), my 3G data connection is lost and it can't be restored until reboot. I also have this problem with versions 1.5.3, 1.6.1, 1.8.1, even after factory reset (I've not tried it with 1.9.0 yet, 'cause I don't want reinstall everything again.
Does anyone meet this problem too? How can I solve it?

this is probably best posted in the 1.9 thread of the rom you are using... I do not have these issues running an oem rom like 345.
thats odd, never heard of something like that happening.
Maybe try going to settings > wireless & networks > Mobile Networks and doulbe check your access point names. Maybe toggling the Data enabled box would give it a kick and remind it to keep data on.
Also to update to 1.9 you don't need to factory reset, just flash the .zip from streakmod or clockworkmod recovery, reboot and it should boot with all your apps and data still in place (unless you run into an issue and need to factory reset, but thats why you should do a full nandroid backup before flashing any rom )

GPS unusable after May Security update

I updated via the OTA to the May update recently and now my GPS is totally messed up. It generally knows where I am when I start a trip, but then is super slow to update my location, and is a block or two off of my actual location. I tried doing a factory reset but this didn't solve the issue. Any ideas?
Have you tried using GPS Status and Toolbox?
Do this with a working Wi-Fi connection: Settings>>Manage A-GPS State>>Reset. Then within the same menu, hit download.

Only thing left to do now is to backup, wipe all partitions, and load a fresh image. If the problem remains, it is hardware related. I would make sure to fastboot FORMAT userdata, system and cache before flashing the latest full image.
I've noticed that the 7.1.2 is not fullty compatible with the settings that might be hanging around from 7.1.1 (or before).
To get my phone to function properly I had to do a clean install and wipe the phone completely.
before that I had SIM issues and Bluetooth issues.
