My GPS and Location service is not working indoors. When using Google Maps inside our office it cannot detect my location. Outdoors it is working but very weak. Is this also an issue with others or is this an isolated case for me? Thanks in advance for the replies.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Might be a software issue. China ROM here.
For me it works very well. Open GoogleMaps and about 2-5 sec. it shows my location (indoors and outdoors). Global ROM in europe
@batuken @Streetrayzer
I have the China ROM version so maybe this is a software issue. Thank you for your replies.
Mine is too. While Bs1 & Helo China Rom are very Quick & strong Gps,but Bs2 china Joyui rom Gps Very weak @@
Update : Reboot bs2 , it will back Strong Gps , very good.
Mine works fairly well. CN rom.
Oh you only need to reboot it once , it will come back Strong gps )) i try.
Enable google service

Hi. i've just bought a X1. after installing garmine mobil xt, but i cant get any gps signal. any one that knows how or what i've done wrong?. I've tried to use seriell port and the intemediant but whith no luck. Please any one
my google maps have problem too..
always showing me wrong locations.. not moving with car etc..
is there a problem with X1 gps?
i don't know if there is any problem, my garmin prog starts but i cant get any signal on the built in gps
Where have you been testing it? If in-door, try outside. I have seen the same message iwth TomTom when in a building, but when I'm outside and try to get a GPS fix, it's quick.
i've been testing out doors but i cant get any signal with the X1 but with mt Garmin uvi i get it quick. where can i get the GPS fix?

Same here had problems inside the TT7 but outside works like a charm.
Run app called QuickGPS, installed by default (you should have icon in programs). It downloads small file with actual settings of GPS satelites. My X1 couldnt fix position too, but after updating this db it works like charm. I get position in less than 30s
it's not a x1 gps thing that it don't work indoors thats a std gps thing
i use tomtom and it never have any problem

that's because you haven't enable GPS in Google Maps, but instead are using Cell Tower estimations for your location.
Is there a way to only use gps in google maps? I cannot figure out how to. It keeps trying to connect to gprs even with gps selected. [email protected]!

It HAS to use a wireless connection to grab the map data.

Hello:
I try use the GPS of Sprint Hero in Argentina (there are no operators that use CDMA)
and I can not find the satellite signals, what I can do?
Thanks in advance
Gps will not work without a network location first. You may be able to connect to a wifi and it work, maybe.

Are you using a custom ROM, or just stock 2.1?
Probably nothing you can do. The gps hardware is not powerful enough to work without a network location.

my thoughts are...
GPS works.. but without data it has no reference.
Maps must be downloaded via some internet connection. Maybe a wifi can help u.
or
you can download a stand alone GPS map app. CoPilot is a good one, but cost $30.
Yeah, but the gps can't even find a lock without a recent network signal to tell it where to start looking. It's not a full on gps antenna.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I have been traveling around the world recently with my EVO and using the GPS to do so. It's GPS chip is no better than the Hero's I believe.
Things to keep in mind, without aGPS help, it can take these things up to 30 minutes to find your correct location. Usually it takes 4 strong signals to pinpoint it. Download GPS Status from the market and it will show you all of the satellites it is picking up as well as the strengths and you will know when you have a lock. It will also allow you to keep the phone awake and the gps active until it gets a fix. This is probably your main problem. If the phone is not actively using the gps, it turns off the chip and never gets a chance to get a fix.
You need to run GPS status preferably when you are connected to a wifi signal and outside with a clear shot of the sky. It can take anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 minutes depending on if you are on a wifi connection, how far away you are from the last known lock stored in the chip (GPS Status will display this for you) and also how far from the equator you are, etc. If you are very far south in argentina it can be a LOT more difficult GPS to work... I noticed my GPS had waaay more trouble up in sweden than it did down in central europe.
Also, Download mapdroyd and get the maps for the area you are in. It works pretty well for a free locally stored map app. GPS Status also allows you to add pins/labels to gps coordinates and then do a radar type guidance back to them. Between these two tools and now knowing how to connect your phone, you should never get lost again, providing your battery does not die. Luckily I brought 4 extra batteries with me!
Hi folks,
I encountered problems with the location service of the Omnia7.
At first, A-GPS is working very rarely -most of the time I don't get a location until the real GPS finds a signal (that means I get no location indoors).
Second, the GPS doesn't find the right location. In 9 out of 10 tries, the GPS thinks I am somewhere in the Czech Republic (which is about 600km away). This bug occurs in Bing Maps as well as in WeatherBug.
Very rarely I get the right location but most of the times it's completely off -but it's always the same "off", so I think there must be something wrong with the GPS module or the software.
So I can't use the phone to navigate or as a sports tracker.
I wrote the Samsung Support today, hope they have an answer.
I hope for you guys to confirm or deny this issues.

Used bing maps few times already and never got a problem with them.
My wifes omnia is getting fix in about 2minutes still or even 10 when I am on the move.
Omnia on the other hand is getting my location very quickly (I have location turned on). Last time on halloween noght we were lost at some suburban area and my phone get us from there very accurately. I could see us moving like on proper sat nav application. I know we have to wait a little bit for nice TomTom or iGo.
Second hard situation, I got my location today at work (under roof) where HTC HD was getting signal only standing close to window. It is ok for now if u ask me.
No Problems Here...
Hi there,
I am getting "room level" accuracy all the time. If I am at home in the bedroom, Bing maps on maximum zoom in shows me in the bedroom. If I am on the other side of the house in the living room, it shows me in the living room.
Seems perfect to me.
Cheers,
Pete
Thanks for your replies...
...the strange thing is, it seems to be working now (for 1 day it's fine). I have played around with the Diagnostics menu (GPS-settings) and since that it's okay as expected. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I hope it's staying like this.
I also have problems with my Omnia 7 : the map is very imprecise (the gps apps indicate a 3000m precision) so I think it doesn't manage to get a fix and use 3G triangulation instead. I tried waiting for about 30 minutes outside, but nothing changed. The weird part is that it started working at same point, for a few days, and then broke again. I have no clue about what's happening.
I'm pretty sure I had those problems before discovering the diagnosis menu, but in case I tweaked something I shouldn't have, can someone (with a working gps) give me his settings ?
The "Test Mode" menu can be called by dialing *#1575# in the diagnosis app. Then there's three options in the "Change state" menu.
Thanks in advance.

I have flashed Kyrillos V10, but my gps didnt work My Gps see allot of satelites and connect also to them but it did not get a fix. Maybe because i put maps with data back with titanium backup. I dont know...
I know now that i get it fixed now
I install a app called GPS Status than i go to tools and A-GPS- status... , than klik Reset. That did the job for my GPS.
I hope it works for you to

what kernel do you use?
I use CM7_kernel_OC_1.4. I believe it came with the latest ROM. Yes, GPS works but it takes a while. When I had Kyrillos v9.5 installed the GPS lock was faster though.
Hello! I have the same problem. But I found a strange thing.
In the past when I used Froyo, GPS found my location with several satellites in use (more then 3). But now I see that it may found my location without any satellites in use. It's seems that something is broken because it's needed minimum 3 satellites to find the location.

If GPS finds your location without any satellites the only explenation is that the phone uses internet connection to find your location. Maybe that is the case.

When your wifi is on (even if you're not connected to any network) your location can be determined to about 50m about
the networks near your location. At least in Germany. I think it's maybe through the google cars which also check the wifi networks when they took pictures for street view.

Are you in flight-mode while using GPS, connected to Wifi or to mobile networks (2G,3G)?
I use GPS mostly in flight-mode, and it still takes some minutes (5-10) to get a fix. Even with updated AGPS-data, but with no internet connection (afterwards, waiting for the fix).
Maybe you can show me your gps.conf from the /etc/ folder?
I think it's maybe through the google cars which also check the wifi networks when they took pictures for street view.

Hi, I'm new on this forum, also please forgive my english.
I resently bought a nubia z17 phone from geekbuying, 6/64. Model number NX563J, software NX563J_CNCommon_V2.44
I'm having problems with the GPS, for example I open google maps and it says that I'm in other location. The GPS is on, high precision (any mode has the same problem).
Any solution? Thanks.
I can confirm I have the same problem with the same phone on the Mokee rom. Somehow the location gets stuck on an old location. What I do is open Google Maps and tell it to navigate somewhere, and that updates my phone's location. I haven't found a permanent solution yet.
Have you tried another GPS app ? (Waze, Here we go, Osmand,...)

Yes, i tried Waze and it keeps trying to find the GPS signal but it never does. Aldo tried GPS test, and it doesn't show any activity from the GPS.
