Anyone else having GPS issues? Just in the last week or so my device can't or won't lock onto any satellites. I've been thru every location and security setting etc. there is without success. It seems as if the GPS sensors are turned off. Did the latest update break it for anyone else?

Hi all. I'm having a bit of GPS weirdness. GPS can get a lock quickly and accurately, however, I have to turn it off/on every time I open an app that uses it. Otherwise, it won't ever find the location. Once I turn it off/on it picks up and stays locked while the app is running. Also, if I switch to another app that uses GPS I have to do the same thing to get a location fix.
So obviously, the GPS function works, but something in the OS is not recognizing it until it's reset. Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying. Is anyone else seeing this?
This is on the AT&T version, by the way.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I have a problem with the GPS that I don't think is unique to the GS4 only ... cause I had it on my S2LTE in the past, and my wife's Note 2 also has the same problem.
Basically, I can turn on GPS no problem, but after turning it on, it will not turn off even though the GPS icon is turned off from the notification bar, and the GPS sign also disappears from the main bar. Checking on the battery stat shows GPS remains all along.
This can only be fixed by a reset, but the next time I turn GPS on, once again I need to reset the phone to turn it off.
Anyone knows how to fix this? I already have location services turned off. This doesn't seem to be located to google services at all, instead it seems to be a Samsung thing that doesn't turn GPS off.
This only seems to happen after upgrade to 4.3 as well.
Thanks in advance!
I have installed Graviton v3.0 and safestrap v3.72. My phone couldn't lock my GPS position in my phone. I never tested until yesterday when I needed directions and I was lost for a while wandering on the roads because the phone didn't lock my position. I was at least lucky that my car had navigation.
Did anyone face this issue or am I the only one having this problem ?
Isn't there a solar storm going on right now that has been disrupting GPS on and off?
Outside of that I never had any problems when I was running Graviton.
I am not sure, but I haven't got this working since last Friday. Even today it doesn't lock my position. I have set the location to high accuracy with still no luck. Any debugging that I could do to fix the issue?
I have restarted more than once to see, if it had something to do with the OS or something.
I have a strange bug on my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9506 and am hoping other people here have experienced and are able to solve the following:
I use my phone extensively for navigation whilst driving. I use Sygic as my sat nav app.
I have noticed that the location on the navigation app has been freezing at the location for a period of 2-10 minutes and then regains location for a minute before freezing at the last location again. This seems to happen every morning on my morning commute to work, however 95% of the time it works flawlessly on my return trip home!
I have tried using other nav apps such as Navigon and even Google Maps to isolate the nav app as the problem but they also seen to experience the problem. GPS Toolbox also loses location and regains when used.
I have found that if I exit my nav app and then re-enter it, the location appears to update for up to a minute before losing gps connectivity again!
I am running stock Android 4.4.2, Baseband version: I9506XXUCNF3, build number: KOT49H.I9506XXUCNH4. Phone is NOT rooted.
I am based in Brisbane, Australia if is a location-based issue?
I have even tried doing a factory-reset and reinstalled only the apps I use and the problem still appears!
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help here with useful suggestions and solutions as this has really been frustrating me for the past couple of months and searching for help!
After updating to 5.1.1, the GPS on my N910G is useless for navigation. If I am still, it can pinpoint my location on "High Accuracy" setting but when I'm moving i.e. when using navigation, it never locks on. Setting location to "GPS Only" does not help either. Does anyone else have this issue?
I have a similar issue. After a reboot, the GPS locks for 2-3 minutes, and then stops locking until next reboot.
I just posted a thread about this!
I also can't get a lock after the update.
I tried so many things and I gave up , everything was fine before
I had terrible fix issues with my GPS. I switched from wanamlite rom to sweet rom, now my GPS works again!
