Hi...got Oxygen and want to start SportyPal or Endomondo but can't
There's always: Searching for GPS....
Same problem was on GingerVillain
So I can't run any sport tracking app...frustrating.
Anybody knows where is the problem?
I put GPS on and in the notification area GPS is blinking, but can't find it...why?
Stand outside preferably when the sky is clear. To lock on you preferably need a clear view of the sky.
My phone takes around 15 to 20 minutes to lock on.
There's no sense man....it's too much time. Something's wrong with it...

unlikely to work but you could try replacing your current gps module with a stock one
ok...but don't know how...though a out it before...but....how?
Sent from my Desire23
I've had the same problem. It doesn't depend on ROM, as I've tested the GPS with CM7 RC's, Oxygen, Redux and stock.
What I've find helpful, is app called GPSfix from the market. I am sorry I can't post links as I am a new user.
It reduced the time to find the GPS signal from about 20 minutes to 2 minutes.
You can also look up to system/etc/gps.conf to find out what NTP Server your phone is set up to. You can find NTP servers from site pool.ntp.org.
All u need is flash another radio baseband, it fixed a gps problem to me

Which radio baseband version are you using?
I've found about equal gps signal with the current Oxygen 2.0. stock, 32.54 and 32.49.
Currently I'm with 32.49 and I think it has the best battery life and wireless signal to me.
So thanks some guys for the answers
They told me that I need to put new Radio version on my device...my version is 32.49..00.32U_5.11.05.27.
So...it's very complicated for myself to put new Radio version...method to put SDK is very complicated to me
And was update on 2.0.2 and GPS still not working
Tried GPS fix too (2 times/15 mins), but doesn't work again

Is there a program called "gps status" installed on your phone? I'm curious because I've seen a lot of people mention gps problems and also mention that app at the same time.
I used that app to use tools reset then reboot and that did not work

You can try this to see if it works.
1. Uninstall GPS Status
2. On your phone, go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>Maps and then click on Clear data
3. Reboot into Clockworkmod recovery
4. Clear cache and Dalvik Cache
5. Reboot
6. Start Maps first before anything else.
Hope that works for you!

There are known issues with CM7, namely GPS issues; everyone is at a bit of a loss as to the actual cause which is causing the delay in fixing.
Your best option, if you need GPS, is to use a stable ROM and not an RC or nightly (as CM7 is); RCs and nightlies are known to have issues, they are released by the devs in order for the more tech savvy users to help them find bugs.

This. And OP you should go check out the nightly thread for CM7 and post there. There is a good 2 pages of discussion per nightly on JUST the GPS issues everyone is having lol. You'll get more precise answers and help there.
I am now using Ginger Villain 1.5 ROM and my GPS lock comes in seconds., Thank you so much for everyone who helped me find a solution. This is a very big relief to me. Thanks again!!
For some reason, no matter which roms I use the Navigation doesn't seem to work though. I've tried MIUI, Virtuous, CM7, and I even reverted back to stock rom I backed up and the navigation never seems to detect my gps. In maps, the GPS locks my location fine, but turn by turn direction doesn't seem to work.
Could someone maybe point me in the right direction?

Are you sure you are using GPS in maps and not your WIFI (which is mapped by google...) to position yourself?
Turn WIFI off, get outside in the middle of your garden and then start maps. Does it position you to the spot or does it stay inaccurate? If it's the latter, your GPS never (?) worked and you got positioned by the location of your WIFI.
What is your radio version (26.0x.xx.xx) and which ROM are you on exactly?
GPS fix? Try flashing radio.
Had the exact same issue, found that all my GPS issues were tied to radio. Flash back to most recent stock version and see if that fixes it. Worked right away for me, regardless of GPS Status, cache cleansing, etc. YMMV

Using my HSPA network (no wifi) and Google Maps "My Location", the accuracy is 600 meters. I'm not sure if that's considered working, but the most frustrating part is that Navigation always just says Searching for GPS. I started off from stock radio radio rom post OTA, then tried to flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959488
People said it helped, but tt didn't. Now I'm back on the one listed as "Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809.
Rom is currently QND MIUI 1.3.5 version 1.3. But liked I said, none of the roms seems to be working. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I just realized what you meant. I turned off the "Use Wireless Network Feature" and my GPS DOESN'T work! Any way to fix this???

Flashed latest radio and got instant GPS lock (8 satellites) on CM7 nightly #15. Didn't work before with shipping radio.
Latest radio I'm using btw is 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27
Also, ymmv, I've heard some people saying they got big battery drains going to the latest radio, and also some had the same result going to the AUS radio (which apparently has good service).
@symbolism: Ugh, I have no idea about MIUI, but the latest radio does/should fix GPS problems on the latest CM7 nightlies. Anyone else experiencing the same on MIUI in any of the MIUI threads...?
@martonikaj: the AUS radio *is* the latest radio It's the 26.06.something... And I'm one of those experiencing excessive battery drain. It seems to be the connection to the network (Network standby) which sucks my battery empty...

This normally happen first time after flashing new ROMs. Now my LeeDrOid v2.2.3 found about 7-8 satellites but still get a slow fix. Wonder why too.
Did you change the gps.conf file under system/etc to your nearest ntp? Using FasterFix?

but, i have coredroid v 3.3 for a long time... and i was tested some radios...
even i was re-flashed an OFFICIAL RUU (installed gps test and found 5 sat!!), later
full wipes and "formats" included... and flashed again coredroid v3.3 (like my syg says)but It continues without working with this rom...
in adition i don´t now what are you talking about "faster fix".... what is this?
hing that was you
EDIT: i found faster fix in the market! i´m going to study this apk...
Meanwhile can you explain me how can i do the thing that you was said me? --"""Did you change the gps.conf file under system/etc to your nearest ntp?"""""
thank´s!!!!!
SECOND EDIT: fasterfix.apk don´t fix my problem
Hmm that's weird. ROM problem? I don't think so.
Yea.. FasterFix is an app in the market. Which relates to the gps.conf that I am talking about. Basically you have change your ntp(Network Time Protocol) to your nearest.
You have to reboot once you changed them so it will take effect. I am also having problem now getting a fast fix. Last time was fast, now so slow. Practically when I am driving, I have to stop my car and allow it to get a fix first(about 3 minutes). If I was attempting to get a fix while driving it will take minutes(maybe 10 minutes?). Sigh.

Thats what I do every 2 - 3 weeks
Remove your sim card from the phone, boot it, download GPS Status & Toolbox
go menu - tools - manage A-gps state - Reset it and then download it and place your phone on a flat surface somewhere outside your house till it gets a fix/lock
then shut down your phone, put the sim card in
and you'll notice that you'll have a way faster fix/lock after that
i hope i helped
uuppsss i wake up now!! hahaha i´m going to try all the answers and then post the results!!!

There's also the possibility that the gps antenna is broken. If you place a finger on the camera flash cover and lightly press it inwards, you can get good signal and indicating that the antenna is broken.

You can either manually add your location or just wait for Agps to kick in. It's good to let the Rom settle for a while too after flashing. Turning off fastboot and restarting a few times can help too.

This doesn't work. AGPS doesn't have anything to do with it, as my location is accurate on the Accuweather mobile web page and in Google Maps. I have restarted my phone numerous times and it doesn't have any affect. As the post above this one mentioned, its not just on my ROM. I have a feeling its an issue with HTC/Accuweather but I would like clarification on this please.

Hi,
my mates DHD also has the same issue, gets UK on wifi but on AGPS/signal location we both get the right location, i'm surprised no-one else has mentioned this?
Same happens here in Finland too, DHD doesn't update "my location" right after 2.3.5 update... I have mailed to HTC for this issue but no help from there...

I have had this issue on several roms. Usually I have to turn Agps off and GPS off. Reboot. Use GPS test to clear Agps. Turn both back on and Make sure you get a GPS lock. Then go back to widget and open. It will fail again, but when you hit refresh it will finally connect to accuweather. Sometimes this process has to be done more than once. Usually though it will just start working on its own. How long before it does though could be a while.

I've tried that, turned GPS off and back on again, gone onto Google Maps, found my location, ran the widget and it still comes back as United Kingdom. This is both on WiFi and on Mobile Data.
It looks like its a official problem as everyone seem to have the same problem, hope we get a fix soon.

if it says inaccurate signal for car navigation, usually its because the gps signal isn't locking.
have u tried using it outdoor? when it was working how long does it take to have a lock? was it accurate?
if not u can download either gps tools or gps data from play store to update your agps
or edit the NTP servers in gps.conf according to your location

With 12.xx 13.xx sily programming
Kills basic gps functions. It does internet connections while handling gps info. This is very bad.... Ig you lose the cpnnection gps will stop kan last several minutes...
You lost tons of gps signals buffered up.mostly crashing cmx.x
If you are lucky you get info minutes to late.

lol yea 12.1.3 is better! BtW ive realised that original sygic version makes gps work but cracks make it do not work
Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.its most dependent on wifi on internet access. In any case with this low a basic gps quality im not buying such a product.( gps finding satelites very slow often no more satelited on restart or waiting forever with 11 fixed satelites on lock often waiting longer then the drive itself
.
The trial version(official) is clearly bad. See description 12.1.1-12.1.2-12.1.3 13.1beta1/beta2 all versions have the same flaw. No or broken network= huge delays up to 10 minutes google maps are faster.
Verry long gps delays where tomtom and old versions 11,2,6 have no gps problems at all
Vetsion 11.2.6 crashes cm 7.2 at least every half an hour.Instable software.... Under such conditions i prefere a simple working( more primitive user interface) of TomTom.
Start delay 30sec gps delay unnoticable.
Delays only arrose on sygic.
Ps there is an additional problen sygic above 80km/hr zoomed out low problems . Problem mainly arrise between 5 and 50km/hr.
Exactly when looking for a destination.
No problems like that on TomTom except heavy non driver friendly

Cool. Will give that a whirl if I need to.
I downloaded GPS Status from the playstore and did a GPS reset/download data and I'm able to finally get a GPS lock and use Waze, etc.
I could not get any stable GPS lock for the past 2 days before -- was a little annoyed by that.
I even rebooted to ensure GPS still getting lock and it is.
I'm hoping this stays working but will keep an eye on it.

It's been almost a month now. The way I get GPS to work for me is:
1) Use GPS status ; use Tools->Manage A-GPS state; then click Reset and then Download.
2) Go outside or near a window and get a lock ; the lock should not take that long. For this step, I like "GPS Test" app (not sure it actually makes a difference but it seems to).
3) Keep GPS turned on (for Kitkat, it will be in Battery Saving mode and not used much until something asks for it.
If I do this, I've gotten consistently working GPS and locks that don't take long at all (usually less than a minute and usually faster than that).
I use Waze to/from work 5 days a week and a few times during the weekend.
BTW, I'm running CM 11 2014 05/09 nightly for hlte on my Note 3 n900t. I don't think the ROM matters.
If I reboot or power off, I plan to use the above 3 steps. Having to do this is not optimal but having a predictable way to get GPS working is useful.

Hmm might be why I don't seen to have a problem GPS, I leave it on all the time since it doesn't use the battery unless an app is actively using it.

I downloaded an ap called topntp. Look it up in the play store. I get gps lock in less than 1 second.

TOPNTP is the only thing that solved my GPS locking issues. Thanks for the heads up FFTony

I wouldn't flash this. Only one person said they did without causing problems for their phone and it didn't fix the issue (for them).
You are better off trying the TOPNTP app instead. I have GPS on all the time and don't have a locking problem.
Same problem here. When I use the GPS TEST it works. When I try using Waze or Google Maps, nothing. What's funny, if there's some fun in this, is that waze works ok in background when GPS TEST is open. At least I get voice directions. When I try oppening both in multi-window, Waze stops again... I've tried everything, from stock to every rom I found, but nothing makes the GPS works with Waze and GM.
