So, I am having problem with GPS on my phone. Everytime I flash, I can get my GPS to work once. After that then, My GPS won't lock. Anyone here heard of such a problem?

Hi All
Has anyone had any problems with GPS MIDLAND?
I'm in Nottingham and yeah it takes a while to lock on. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. I put it down to the device having a ****e GPS thingy
Up until recently my GPS has been working great. Fast locks, good accuracy, no problems. I was on MA7 rooted/deodexed. About the time I started getting nagged about MC2 udpates, my GPS started having intermittent issues getting a lock and maintaining. And it has only gotten worse. Often, I can get a lock immediately after I reboot, but after a minute it doesn't work anymore. Today, I updated to MC2 rooted/deodexed (as well as the firmware) and still have the same issues. I can get a lock immediately after booting, but after that nothing can get a GPS location. Some apps will grab the network location, but not GPS.
Has anyone else experienced this? There was no change in ROM between when the GPS was working and when it stopped. Any ideas on what I need to do? I'm trying to avoid fully wiping the phone and setting everything up again if possible. But if I can't find a solution, I just may have to do that this weekend and see if it helps.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Update: I cleared the running applications and was able to get a gps lock again. I think my problem has to do with something I have installed. I will have to do more testing.
Have you found anything new? Because I've been having major problems as of late
Yes one of those threads again, I do apologize in advance..
The GPS on my E973 is useless, I tried the GPS status app and its trying to lock for 30 minutes now, doesn't work outdoors, indoors, anywhere.. I checked the settings, everything seems correct, A-GPS data is downloaded..
I'm running stock 4.1.2 but rooted (GPS wasn't working before root either).. Tried this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44113974#post44113974 but it didn't work..
My previous phone (GS3) had exact same problem whereby GPS would not lock at ALL. The only fix that worked was NAM REBUILD in one of those Samsung hidden menus, it fixed the problem and GPS would even lock in my basement!
Are there any similar fixes for LGOG, can someone please help me out to find solutions? Thanks
bump,
anyone else have GPS issues with this phone?

UPDATE: GPS WORKS. I just went to settings, opened/closed GPS and made sure everything was ticked off.. Reset phone.. Then went outside and waited for 10 minutes and it locked on.. I used GPS Status App, reset A-GPS and downloaded new data..
However, it took a while and isn't as consistent as I hoped it would be, only locks onto 6/15 satellites... Unlike my friends GS4 and Nexus 4 which gets 20/21 satellites locked on.. Its also not good indoors..
But I'm just glad it works..
When I start GPS operation I get a FIX very quickly in 2-5 seconds. Then I operate my navigation program and it's OK without any issue.
When I close the navigation program and leave the GPS status ON the device turns OFF the GPS as it should and again it's OK.
And now comes the problem.
When I open again my navigation program the GPS comes on but cannot detect any satellite. I Use GPS status program and it shows an empty screen without any satelite detected.
To overcome the problem I turn OFF the GPS, Wait for 2-3 minutes and turn GPS back on to get a very quick fix.
Has anyone encounter such a problem?
I leave my GPS always on, sinds it is only being used when needed. But never had this problem. I would try out some GPS apps to monitor. Otherwise you may have a defective or bugged out GPS and then I would return for warrenty. But if there is anyone you know with the same device see if it also happens to them with the same use senario. Otherwise you should contact the app dev.
Hi all,
I have note 2014, wifi. Recently, I tried to open map & gpsstatus, and I just realize that my gps "stops" working. I can see the satellites, however it cannot fix them. on gpsstatus, the satellites always grey, and it restarts to lock every minutes or so.
I am not sure if this is hardware or software issue. anyone know how to solve this problem?
