Which rom and version? If stock how is your bootloader status?
Same here. GPS doesn't work at all with GPS status app, or when using device only, but it does work in Google maps, just with poor accuracy. Tried installing LOS and it didn't fix it. Installed Franco kernel again but that didn't help either. Guess I'll go back to OOS and maybe that will fix it? Otherwise I'm stumped.

Could you please explain your problem, you do not need to open new thread every time.
if no one gives an answer then it usually means no one has the answer. unless you really did **** the guy with the answer's mom.
send the phone to Samsung AS to be looked at.
the worst that could happen is you find out what is wrong and either pay to have it fixed or you don't.
either way you find out what is wrong.

the problem is that the gps don't work, it start to search the signal, but never find it, it is able to find the place where i'm, but in a too big approximation, because i think it is not broken, but may be some sofware issue, can you help me please?
What did you do to try and fix it? Flash different firmware? Are you rooted? Which ROM version? Did you try resetting to factory defaults? Tried some GPS apps (like GPS test)? Tried searching for gps.conf files?
Did you try *anything* before posting here? We are not wizards and can't read minds, really...

1, Have u tried complete reset including all the data
2, If that does not work u can also try flashing a new firmware using Odin and reset the device from setting / accounts / backup & reset
hopefully one of the method will solve your issue

yes, thank you for the answer, my s4 is rooted yes, with the stock firmware. i flashed many rom, and 2 times the stock firmware and the recovery. i have a backup of the efs folder, there is something there about the gps?
Not really, EFS holds the IMEI and such data IMHO. Try downloading GPS Test from the Play Store and test the GPS.
Download GPS Status from the Play Store.
Start the app, go tools/manage GPS state/download.
This will download the assistance data.
Get a line if sight to the sky outdoors or at least beside a window and wait for the satalite bars to turn green.
Remember, GPS will struggle to get a fix indoors.
This topic inspired me and other members to make this kind of topics
Do you have Yahoo! Weather installed? This killed my GPS lock, uninstalled it and GPS works fine again.
If not Yahoo! Weather, think about any other location-aware apps you have installed since it last worked and try uninstalling them.
I've tried everything cant get gps to work. Anyone willing to help without telling me I can find this in another thread because I've looked and cant find anything
This belongs in the Q&A section. This is for development, not tech support.

That's why it is in the sticky, could you imagine if every issue with someone's vs980 got posted here? You would have to read through many pages just to reach a specific ROM thread you were looking for.

Switch all location services off in settings. ie untick both gps satellites and wifi location. Then power off, reboot and switch them all on again. Use gps test (chartcross) to see if you can get a lock.
You can also reset agps data if it remains slow to lock.

I already tried all tips I'v found (FasterFix, manual update of gps.conf, A-GPS Reset/forced update, power off, reboot, using GPS Status and GPS Test). Getting a stable GPS lock is very funny.
As other, my GPS lock is not locking properly. When I get it, I lost it on the road without any reason...

I was wondering what stock ROM but that's fine.
Please check the thread attached and make sure you do a backup.
If not I'm wondering if you have a hardware issue.
Thanks but this fix was not helping me...
So, I decided to disassembly the G2.
I solved my GPS problem by adding some alumium on the GPS antenna. Opening the G2 back cover is very easy (see video on youtube).
Before I was getting a GPS Lock on 0 sat (20 in view).
Now, I'm getting a GPS Lock on ~8 sat !!!
My girl friend was able to use her G2 while driving ~40km without any lost of GPS. It was impossible before "my fix".
Does the baseband and radio/modem and that stuff affect the GPS?
I'm also having difficulty get a lock on
Curious fix - squeeze the top right corner of the phone and see if you get a lock on!
Hi there,
I´ve had several roms in the past on my Note 3 (SM-N9005) and eventually went back to the Dutch stock rom (Kitkat), with me not being able to wait for the Dutch release of Lollipop i've flashed it without any troubles but I missed the Blocking mode from Kitkat so I reverted back to Kitkit but now I seem to be unable to get a GPS fix.
I've installed GPS Status app and some other apps that write the GPS config on the rooted Kitkat rom but no luck, i've also switched a few times from Lollipop to Kitkat to see if it would make a difference but it didn't.
Now when I open the GPS Status app or any other app that needs GPS the Icon of Android self stopped blinking and says it has a GPS fix but this is false or with will blink and eventually give me a fix.
Any of you any ideas or is the GPS done for?
Thank you for your help!
I also have the same problem the battery has been great for lollipoo but the gps is not working bumping this topic

I can confirm this issue with GPS. It won't lock GPS at all.
Do you people go out of the house to test gps ? You won't get a lock in your bedroom.
I'm asking, because i know that many don't do so.
Hi there,
Yes I test in the outside, even with a clear sky the GPS won't get a fix.
I am not sure but looks like the bootup of the GPS doesn't seem to work fine. Sometimes like 1 in 50 the GPS will boot up and give me a accurate fix.

Hi there,
I have a D801 I bought this summer in the US and recently I'm having problems with the GPS. I got it with stock LP, and I think back then it was working fine. Then, I started testing different roms, and at some point it broke. I guess it is a software problem, but I don't know how to fix it (I search in each rom's thread but it should be working ok).
I'm currently using this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g2/development/rom-tmo-lp-extreme-v1-0-4-16-15-t3084681
Software details: http://imgur.com/GhqDN9D
I have tried fasterGPS (to set it for Spain) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps&hl=en and GPS Status https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en but it takes forever to lock into a satellite (1/26), and even then it is not able to get the correct location in Google Maps (tried outdoors in several places already).
Any help? Any additional info you may need?
Thanks in advance!
i think most people who have had problems with the GPS on this phone have given up. the GPS is just flaky to non functional. There is a mod out there where you raise the antennae pins to contact the case using something to shim them. that might or might not help. I did it on my LS-980. I also did it on my Samsung Note i717 and it solved it.
I think part of the equation is software related. I updated my rom to Dirty Unicorns and my GPS was working most of the time. but when it refused to lock, nothing could make it. on stock, I had a weird condition where the GPS would work only if my phone was in 3g mode, not LTE. However, when my phone got stuck in 3g mode, would never switch back to LTE without turning off and on mobile data. I am currently back to stock but my GPS doesn;t work.

Nice... Then I'll give a look at that tutorial. I was hoping to fix it by flashing some radios/basebands or the likes, but we seem to be on the same boat. It is not that I use GPS that much, but I didn't expect such problems in a previous flagship phone. Anyways, thanks for your help :good:

Don't get your hopes up on that tutorial. GPS is notoriously bad on G2. So many people have problems. Mine doesn't work at all and I gave up like the previous poster said. Not a big deal for me except when I'm trying to use Uber!

Well, I finally had the time to try the antenna hack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfS4LpfcLfg) and it went from locking to none to locking to 12 out of 20 sats. Finally I can be happy this phone (also running CloudyG2 btw). We'll see how long does it last though...
Thank you all!
Here's a weird situation, just recently used the TOT method to restore my phone back to stock, and after installing the updates to bring me to zvh, my gps is working again. Still a little flaky but mostly working.

I've found a way to get Google maps to more accurately represent my location and direction. I'm unsure why this works because I was under the impression the issue with location was caused by the GPS not the compass.
Anyhow, try the compass calibration suggestion by Google below and let me know if you also find this to be a successful method.

That didn't work for me, but moving the phone in a figure of eight did. Thanks, good tip!

Glad to hear you found a workaround! The latest CM13 has been a more stable experience with GPS, that may be related to the flexy kernel. Check it out and let me know what you think.
