Has anyone else noticed the maps app and the nav app not registering the gps signal? I checked the GPS with gps essentials and it works fine but the maps app and navigation don't get the signal. The gps icon shows locked on in the toolbar but says "waiting for location" in the nav app? This was working fine right before I did the 4.2 update..
Just updated along with 30 other app updates and don't have a problem with this.

Yes is all over the place...
Navigator starts and has a GPS fix on my location in less than 10 seconds. Under 4.1.2, it just kept searching. Maps worked, Navigator didn't. Seems our problem was ass-backwards.

All GPS apps working as should on the setup in my Sig. They also worked fine when I was on 4.2 Stock rooted and the stock kernel.

I had this problem with the 4.1.2 update and a factory reset was finally needed to fix it.

That could be why mine now works. I when to 4.2 (from Trinity kernel), I went to stock 4.11.... Then to 4.2. Never thought that doing a clean install may have been what "cured" my problem. BTW...the only app that didn't work was Google Nav. Go figure.

My maps works if I have the Wi-Fi location source enabled but I want the GPS as the source, so only that is enabled and maps just searches as does navigation but if I open gps essentials with only gps enabled it works fine and gets at last five satellite real quick. Then I switch right to maps with a gps lock already established and it acts like gps is non-existent.. boo 4.2! I used this navigation app a lot damn it

Exactly what I saw after the 4.1.2 updare. A hard reset was needed to fix it.
I wiped and installed the factory 4.2 image to fix it. Drastic, but effective.

I am currently having this issue on the 4.2.1 update. Sygic seems to navigate fine, and my GPS toolbox says the same.. but navigation and maps totally fails (for a few seconds, maps placed me hundreds of feet off, but now it shows nothing..
I have the same issue on my GSM Galaxy Nexus with 4.2. Locus and others apps work just fine, but Google Maps and Navigation don't use gps. But at top bar, there is an icon show me that gps was fixed...

This did the same thing to me also after the 4.1.2 update and 4.2.1. Tried to find a fix for it both times and never could. Had to do a hard reset both times.
4.2.1 broke GPS in offline GMaps
I updated my N7 OTA to 4.2.1 from unrooted 4.2 yesterday and just noticed that GPS no longer works in Google Maps offline. The GPS icon obtains a fix as well as GPS Test app confirms satellite fix. But in Maps, it goes from "waiting for location" to "...unavailable".
My N7 was previously rooted under 4.1.2 before I went to 4.2. I performed a factory reset under 4.2 and kept it unrooted. I can't confirm whether I tried to use GPS Maps offline after going to 4.2.
Between the shortened battery life under 4.2 and now the inability to use GPS offline, I'm seriously debating about reverting back to a clean 4.1.2 and start over.
Did the update yesterday and after reading this thread I downloaded a couple of GPS apps and tried Google Maps with wifi sources turned off. No problems finding signal and getting a lock quickly. Mind you, I have a stock OS, no root as I just bought my N7 on Saturday.

Sadly, I am not rooted either, but right now, maps is hosed. Mind you, given that this is a WiFi tablet, it isn't huge ( I prefer 3rd party solutions more), but this is still something that shouldn't happen..
There's something in common you guys have, something to figure out... because GPS/Maps/Navigation etc is fine on my N7 on 4.2.. I haven't seen 4.2.1 yet.
edit: Just got 4.2.1, GPS is still fine. Holds sats, Google nav is happy, etc.

Is GPS enabled in the "toggles"?
To test you should first use a simpler program like "GPS Test" (free) in Play Store.
If the GPS lock is very, very slow you can try the next sequence:
- stop all GPS programs
- start your MOBILE data connection
- start GPS Test program.
Obviously you will get a GPS lock much faster outdoors and possibly never underground or in buildings with a lot of metal in the walls or on the roof.
Im outdoor and im not underground also the gps toggle is on.
Can it be better when i install a custom rom?

Have you tried the navigon app available with Samsung phones? Might not be the phone but the app itself especially if you have recently upgraded to KK...
Definately try a test gps app, it will tell you if you have signal. Also if you have mobile data off try with it on a couple of times as this uses the net to locate the satellites to lock onto the signal faster...
Just picked up this tablet yesterday. I can't seem to get location services to work at all for it. Just times out any time I try getting a location, like in weather or maps. Anyone else have similar problems of a possible solution? I'm using the 7" wifi version.
Not sure if this will help you, but I also had GPS problems with my tab 4 7 wifi only. I purchased the tab in CA., worked fine. Downloaded some maps and used it to navigate, no problem.
When I got home to Brazil, the GPS did not work. Downloaded several apps to check the satellites I was picking up, l was getting 1 maybe 2, with very low signal.
I then found an app Faster GPS, this allowed me to change the satellite search location to South America, Brazil. Major difference, l now pick up 14 satellites and the GPS even works downstairs.

You should ask in the thread for the rom you are using. I haven't found one lollipop rom with working gps however, unless you have the Korean variant you are probably out of luck.

It sucks that they still haven't fixed the GPS issue on T-Mobile and 5G. Waze takes about 10+ minutes to acquire a GPS signal. You would think that after spending $1300+ on a new phone it would be fixed.
My GPS is spot on when I just downloaded waze. Did you allow the app to use your location?

Yes, of course, but keep using it and see if it continues to work. Like I said, it will work the first time you use it but then if you try it again without rebooting it will stop working. It keeps saying waiting for connection.

Thats weird, I honestly use Google maps and its been working fine.
I don't use Waze, but Google Maps finds my location almost instantaneously.
No such issues on my phone when using maps or waze
No problem on my tmobile s20 plus with Waze. It takes little time to get fix in waze compared to maps or here but it gets it finally.
