GPS isn't working

Hi Folks,
My phone doesn't seem to lock my exact location on any of the mapping apps. I have tried downloading all possible GPS apps but nothing seemed to work. Is factory resetting my phone is the only solution? I have a Verizon version.
I have couple of questions:
1. I am rooted and I have TWRP installed. if I factory reset, am I going to lose both?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Factory reset wipes the data partition, not system. You won't lose root or TWRP.
The only app I use for GPS is FasterGPS
It might help with the speed. Hopefully you can get it working.

Hi scottdanpor,
Thanks much for quick reply. I am going to try the app you suggested, if that didn't work. I'll factory reset it.
Will post back if it solves my issue.

Data factory reset or if that doesn`t help reflash the stock rom with Odin and factory reset afterwards.

Glad to hear that you solved it.
The answer was always as close as a forum search as there have been countless threads about this.

There is no solution for private mode. It requires secure storage, which doesn't work with Xposed installed.

Maybe it messed with gapps.
Factory reset and flash another rom. And be sure to get right supersu.

Cant update galaxy apps (app)?

So there is a update for my Galaxy app, and everytime i try yo update it it says an error occured, code (-19). Been like this for a couple of days now... And since I can't update that app any other app under the Galaxy app store can't be updated either.. Anyone have any thoughts?
I have the international Exynos version.

Go into application settings, locate this app and clear data. Then try again.

Unauthorised actions have been detected

Since switching back to stock lollipop firmware from a custom rom, I'm continuously seeing this message "Unauthorised actions have been detected" in my notification bar. When I open it, it takes me to smart manager where I've got an option of reboot. After rebooting it takes me to TWRP, nothing else happens after TWRP opens.
Any fix for that?

TWRP may be the cause of this. Or root, if present.

But if I delete this system app, would I lose another function too? I mean does this app lead to another system function like SystemUI and other system apps do?
Sorry for bad English.

Hmm yes I'm thinking to go for android 4.3 now rather then 5.0.1.

Depending on the model of you phone, I'm not sure if you can downgrade to 4.3 from 5.01. If you can't, Odin should not flash the ROM.

Another way I observe:
Is to delete every entries Knox-related from init.rc on the ramdisk. But it only reported to work on i9500, since I'm doing the same on SM-J200G some of them still report this one.
