Hi all,
I am trying to find out how widespread the GPS locking problems are with this model. I am talking about non-assisted GPS, which can be tested using the "GPS Test" application on the market.
So, how is the GPS on your phone performing using GPS Test? Please give some detailed information like lock time, number of sattelites, urban/countryside location, and if possible firmware version of your phone.

My Spica cannot get a lock at all, will see up to 11 satellites but most of them with signal strength bars at zero. Firmware versions tested (all same result)
1.5 (XEJB2)
2.1 (XXJD1, XXJD4, XXJF2, XXJC3)
Same pb with my wife's spica. Samdroid version with FE7.
Can't lock withour assistance. What a pitty.
Go to your Settings -> Date & Time -> Uncheck Automatic and see if it helps
Or you can try this (need root)

i can get a fix under 2 minutes if I stay still...moving, it can take an eternity

i just don't bother with that any more...I might do it again after a month without wiping any data
rooting is like breathing to me ... as it would be to most of the people here
Anyone found a solution yet?
My spica wont connect via gps either. It just keeps blinking and nothing happens...not even after 30min.
I've tried GPStest and it reports that 12 satellites are in view but non in use, and there is no bars everything is at 0...not picking any signal at all :S
I tried my friend's one too and he gets a signal imediatley and a lock after about 10-30seconds.
Any solution to this? Is it a software problem or hardware problem?

I installed the alpha CyanogenMod 2.2 and GPS is working like a charm!
Problem was with the wrong libraries being used in many of the custom roms found at SamdroidMod. Devs found out about this issue and fixed it in this 2.2 release.
I'm running original firmwire which i got on the phone. (XXJE4)
I'm not willing to install alpha cyanogen of froyo yet...Is there really no other solution? I've had a chance to compare my spica to another one with original firmwire (JE4 too) ant that other spica worked while my gps had no lock. Also i had the chance to try one with samdroid on and it worked too.
Mine works from time to time. at the moment it works, earlier today it wouldn't get a lock no matter how long i waited.
First thing-delete /data/xtra.bin- this is data for agps which seems to cause gps locking problem. You can do it with RootExplorer/SUFBS or any file manager with root rights. Or use GPS Status and Reset agps data from setting. You can also try to swap libsec-ril.so, JF2 version works best for me. If you want I can provide update packages for libsec-ril.so
i have installed cyanogenmod 7.1 on mine, and can get a lock under 1min30s outside or under 3min in the bus near the window.
I have a rooted spica with android version: 2.2.2, baseband version: i570EXXJC1, kernel version:2.6.29 and Mod version:SamdroidMod-2.2.2-a9.
When I go to google maps app and click set location I always get an error saying: location temporary unavailable ! I checked the option on Settings->Location and security->Use wireless networks and use GPS satellites. And my phone is connected to the internet.
I just bought the phone last week, and its really embarrassing not getting this to work.

thanks for the useful info, you saved my life by this post.
i thought my gps is wrong in my spica then it was just a bug in the cooked rom. cyanogen mod is cool and gps is working now perfectly.
thanks again!
With spicagenmod + hp/yonip kernel gps work very well.
Hello! After the new NoDo 7392 update, I wanted to test the GPS on my Omnia 7. I noticed that it does not work with any application that can manage the GPS, even with the utility of Diagnosis. Why is that?
Thks
Have you changed the settings in Diagnose menu?
My GPS worked on 7932 some day but cant work now.
No, i don't change nothing in Diagnosis mode. Before, with the original rom, GPS worked not for all days, but it worked
Now with NoDo it don't work in any case
Same problem... after NoDo, GPS doesn't work. Any solutions?
Hi all,
This is my issue:
I'm 2 hours connected to a wifi network, I leave home or work and my nexus 4 does reconnecting with mobile data.
I have read many posts about this, on any roms, but none gives a clear solution.
I had CM12 and Chroma. The same error. I'm back to Stock Rom [5.1] from Google Factory image [clean] and issue persists.
Can you help me please?

Hmmmm. I think it was with the 4-10 version that I had the issue, and it may have been resolved with the 4-14 version. I just installed the 4-17 version, but haven't checked if the issue returned. I would try upgrading Chroma, if that is what you are still running.

I'm going to reinstall all apps in my n4 for now with stock ROM. I installed all updates from 4.2.2 image factory with OTA's up to 5.1, to night I still with wifi connection, if tomorrow the issue persists, I will install chroma again.
I got this problem too. I was running chroma, Cm12 and now euphoria and problem is still here. Full wipe doesn't work. In addition to the problems with reconnection I have also huge problem with msm_hsic_host wakelock and I think both problems are related to each other. I'll try different kernels, maybe it will work.

I installed stock kernel, and franco kernel. Same result.
My wife has Installed OTA yesterday and remains in wifi all night, today all works fine in her Nexus 4. In my Nexus 4 don't work.
Differences:
Wife: N4 8GB with simyo carrier
Me: N4 16GB with tuenti carrier
Any Ideas?
It seems that the problem occurs only when when you leave the WiFi area, and the phone loses its range. Its not switching connection. When you are connected to wifi and you try to turn it off manually (quick settings etc), it will switch to mobile data connection without problems.

is not it, when I spend three hours on wifi, manual transmission does not work. I put the SIM of another carrier works. Is an error with this SIM and this version of Android.
Hi gruncho,
I have exactly the same problem, also with a Nexus 4 from day 1 after installing 5.1. Mine has been installed OTA, having previously 5.0.1. My carrier is pepephone (now using Movistar) which I think is the same as tuenti, the one you have.
I reconnect without problems by changing between 2G / 3G or by selecting Airplane Mode On / Off.
If anyone knows a less manual solution or something I could try please tell.
Thanks a lot
Same issue here on stock 5.1, only reboot helps. Airplane mode, switching radio off, switching cellular data off and on doesn't help.
Can anyone provide some information how to fix this? Would be very grateful.
I flashed chroma rom 4-21. It is based on Android 5.1.1. The issue is solved on this version. I will use this rom until stock 5.1.1 launch.

If you have the phone rooted, you can install Trigger and create a task that activate airplane mode and deactivate that in a few seconds when you leave any wifi network. I tried this, but in my case, with an android wear device, the watch disconnects every time I leave my home or job wifi.
Hi,
Keeping my fingers crossed for the problem to be solved for everyone in 5.1.1
I thought about creating a task in Tasker that activated airplane mode and deactivated it in a few seconds later after leaving a wifi, but my experience with Tasker is almost null.
I found an application which seems to be working for me. Its name is WifiFixerFree and what it does is trigger a mobile connection for a few seconds, while still connected to wifi.
You can configure the connection interval. I have it set for every 15 minutes and it doesn't seen to drain a lot of battery. By default it shows a lot of notifications, but you can disable all them in one of the configuration screens.
Cannot yet post external links, but the application is in Google Play so it is easy to find from that name.
I installed the application yesterday and the problem has not repeated itself.

I installed this app, but not works for me. I dont know if I do something bad.
Can you tell me about config this app?

When you enter the app, check "Use auto reconnect" and set a trigger interval of N minutes (I wrote 15).
Press the button "Configure notifications" and uncheck the first option: "Show events in notification bar"
I just did that and since then (yesterday afternoon) I have had no more problems of losing the mobile data connection. During the last weekend and on Friday I had those problems every time I left home / work because the phone lost the wifi and so I lost the mobile data.

Same issue here, but I came from a Nexus 4 5.0.1 with LTE enabled.
The problem ocurrs when changing to data after too many hours in Wi-Fi connection (turning Wi-Fi off or leaving the Wi-Fi area).
I installed OTA Android 5.1, then the problem started.
I tried to install stock Android 5.1 factory image (with full wipe), but the problem still persist.
I executed the nexus-4-lte-enabler-v2.12-2.13-UNINSTALLER.zip thinking it's a related issue, but the problem still persists.
Waiting for Android 5.1.1...
I have Pepephone (Movistar) and I'm still using the manual workaround of turning airplane mode on/off or switching some data network setting to regain data connection.
Can anyone provide some information how to fix this?
Thanks a lot.

My OP2 is losing GPS position as well, haven't been able to relate it band change. To have the position back I have to do off/on Location in the top pull down pane. Driving me nuts.

Same issue here, also with OOS 2.2.0. Any update on that? Really annoying when navigating in unknown areas and GPS stops working...
Guys, after months of test, it's related to Telco, depend which radio band they use at specific area.
try test other telco with prepaid sim, see if your GPS still disrupted while mobile data transfer.
The only GPS issue related I have with mine

OnePlus 2 GPS problems since Oxygen 3.x
OnePlus 2.
On Oxygen 2.x the GPS worked flawlessly:
Accurate, acquire location quickly, and while Location Services was always on, the phone knew how to conserve battery by only really turning it on (location icon shows up near clock) when needed.
Since Oxygen 3.x it all went bad:
Very often, GPS doesn't acquire position and sometimes nothing helps but a reboot.
Location Services is on and the GPS icon comes up and disappears near the clock every few seconds, without any app requiring it.
Any help?
Abiit the second problem: Maybe there's some app constantly turning on my GPS in the background? Know of an app to show what apps are using GPS right now?
Same problem here in Denmark with "3" network - both with OxygenOS 3.1.0 and with CM13
Rather annoying - makes me scan new phone releases.
Same problem here too!

OOS 2.1.X? We are already on OOS 3.1.0 ... upgrade to M. But I advice to do a clean WIPE of ROM, and isntall it from sratch, not only update. It couldbe your GPS is stucked somehow
From few days ago my phone started to lose GPS signal, now with every GPS test apps I can see the satellites but it didn't connect to any. I tried different ROMs, came back to MIUI but nothing changed. Is there a way to restore connectivity as I think it's a software problem because I can see satellites, so the antennas work but don't connect?
Have a similar issue, started losing connection to GPS satellites, while using in the car.
Please search first

Same thing here .
Tried everything
Going to replace the phone
Update:
After one day GPS started working again without doing anything. Maybe it could be related to Android auto as I'm not using it for 2 days and my problems started when I was using it
I am currently on Atom OS and have that issue of not working GPS every time I reoot. Have to disable location service (in quick settings) and reenable them for it to work, This is probably already solved in an updated version of my ROM, but hey, it's a quick try.
I have a similar problem, but I already have several months with my redmi note 7 and after moving to miui 11, the GPS works irregularly. I have seen many comments about problems with the GPS, but I have not seen any explanation from xiaomi
Enviado desde mi P008 mediante Tapatalk
the GPS stopped working properly as if there was not enough signal,
how did you solve it? I see the satellites but a small signal and disappearing.
hardware repair - how?
or software? (goes downgrade miui?)
After update to Miui 11 i hve similar problem with my gps. I'm using app from Play stone - GPS FIX/OPTIMIZER and work fine. If i have problem with gps, run the app and restart.

Hi guys
I was having the same problem with the gps connection. after changing my region settings from Brazil to Argentina, the gps returned to work correctly. test by changing the region and always restarting with each change.
My rom: V11.0.5.0.PFGMIXM (MIUI11)
I tried everything
also unlocked the bootloader and tried other rom
fix is not a problem, but the signal is still weak (large inaccuracy), with most satellites up to 20snr
a month ago there was no problem, I suspect the gps antenna, but I do not recall any phone crash, etc.
unfortunately I find nowhere manual, video, where the antenna and how to fix it

try to change the region, restart your smartphone and check for any improvement in the gps signal.
I tried everything, fix is no problem, I catch 12 sometimes more satellites (in open area), but all with low signal. Just go under the edge of the tree, and the signal is very weak and very inaccurate.
