I'm trying to get the latest google maps from the Market to work on my device, the problem is every time i start the app its very laggy and then force close, or the whole device freezes and reboots.
tried 3 different roms (MIUI, Oxygen, CM7) they all have the same results.
Maps version 5.7 and 5.10 works fine, but not V6+.
any1 else have the same problem ??
am I missing anything ?!
Thanks

**Symptom**
Loosing GPS fix on I9300 after 20sec-20mins on latest XXELK4 / Omega v33.1+v33.2 ROM mainly in case of 1st lock on more then >10 satellites.
**Possible solution**
Flash in CWM this one for fixing the GPS issue on Omega v33.2 (tested on 33.1 and was working).
**How it's done**
I simply took all related GPS files from previous Omega version where GPS was working fine and replaced them.
**How to install**
Simply via CWM and perform eventually permission fix after (just for case)
**Result**
Before I was loosing all GPS satellites in 20-30sec, now it looks stable, locking up to 15(17max) satellites
**Which solution I tried before and didn't help**
FasterGPS, setting the parameters
Reflashing Omega on Omega (noWipe)
Reseting aGPS data, downloading new one
Installing another modem, now I'm on I9300DDDLJ1
Turning off GPS, Google location, location via Wifi, rebooting phone and re-enabling again.
Wiping cache + Dalvik-cache + Fixing permissions (after this step I had to reflash no-Wipe the ROM)
Flashing another kernels - stock, GalaxiSih, now I'm on Boeffla-Kernel
**Warning**
Be sure you have nandroid backup and/or reflash no-wipe in case of troubles (wasn't however observing any issues by myself so far).
**Where you can use it ?**
Tested so far on Omega v33.1, confirmed working on Omega v33.2 as well including some other XXELK4 stock/custom based ROMs
Not needed for Omega >=v33.3 or patched stock ROM XXELK4
**Just press THANKS if it worked**
Thanks to Omegas Team.
All you need to do to fix is flash a different kernel

Incorrect. Lots of people running 4.1.2 on various kernels and still facing the same problem. Myself included having tried 3 different kernels.

Not helping. Already tried. This is nearly annoying like the hello hello bug. Not all got it and every phone needs a different fix.
Edit: Tried the fix before and don't work for me. Can't get no fix after flashing but it could also related that I got a custom kernel installed. You say you on custom kernel too. Did you flashed the video fix?

No, just Omega, custom Kernel and then this simple fix. Wait for the 1st fix, also be connected to data/Wifi. Best for testing is GPS test.
*sorry* I just flashed also another modem just prior to that fix, see 1st post...however when I flashed different modem before I was trying to fix GPS issue, it didn't help at all

Don't know for sure but think maybe the video fix who install the old libs brake GPS again but I'm not sure. As I wrote in omega thread. After dirty flash it works perfect even with custom kernel and after installing the video fix it brake down again.

It's working so far.
I haven't flashed fix video but installed siyah so sooner or later I'll need the video fix.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Tried all what you have said you had tried and also no luck - still having GPS problems.
Installed the fix.
Before installation, using Waze, I used to get a fix within 5 seconds, and then I used to lose the signal after 3-5 Mins. max.
After installation - got a fix same within ~5 secs, and I kept it on for about 10 mins and I had no signal loss.
I will try it further on my way home (about 20-30 min drive) and post results.
Thanks alot - hope this might just do it!
***EDIT***
Drove 20-25 mins home - all working fine.
Will do more testing tomorrow, but looks like this is the fix, for me anyhow.
Big thanks!
Work for me.
This fix work for me. Test during 40 min of navigation .I´m on Omega 33.1 with video fix and Kernel Perseus 26.1
Will test again on the end of the day.

Small report:
Today morning I use GPS (Waze and Be On Road) to navigate to my work (15km).
Lost signal every 3 - 5 minutes. Strange.
In my work I flash your fix.
Navigate (Be On Road) approximately 15km to customer and 15km to work. Working absolutely good.
Thank you.
I will test later much more and report again.
Update1: On the way home from work gps navigation (Be On Road) work like a charm. I am lucky
Update2: Today on way from home to work, working very well. Thank you. Now I vote for YES
Hi my friend. But suddenly your fix work here. Did another full wipe. Installed my usual stuff and got no fix. Then I thought I try again your zip and it works for now. Will test how long but really hope that's it.

Oke, just had my 25 minutes drive.
Flashed your zip before went on the road, double checked that Use wireless networks was enabled again, this afternoon i disabled it and gps worked again.
And from work to home, not one single drop off gps noticed using Sygic.
Also watched carefully to Sygics speed meter and it was corresponding with the speed i actually drove, not going from 30 to 100 i saw yesterday before gps broke down.
Looks your file did it for me.

Compass sensors and gps are different things. Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
I believe the gps chip is behind the flash module, give that a firm press to make sure it has not worked loose.
when I installed the 22.3.0 rom like pacman the gps use entirely normal, until I installed the new 2.3.0 rom viper encounter such problems gps
. I can not post in development areas viper rom so I post here to ask for help

The GPS is working, the problem is with compass.
I have same issue with Viper but it works with other roms (i.e Revolution, PacMan or stock RUU). Maps navigation works fine but I cannot use Street view (or Ingress) compass mode or download a Compass app from google play (no longer compatible with my device).
There are some posts about that but I didn't find the solution or a workaround:

Any idea?

I am running the latest nightly from https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=t0lte
I have TWRP 2.8.5.0 installed as my recovery.
In order to test your GPS you need to change the following setting. (Otherwise clever stuff happens and your location is guessed from wifi/cell tower locations)
Menu==>Settings==>Location==>Mode==>Device Only
My problem is that none of the nightlies seem to have a working GPS. This can be seen by installing one of the many GPS Test Apps (GPS Test, GPS Status& Toolbox), they will never get a fix.
Is there any known fix for this?
I faced the same problem with you,it seems lost some api about GPS.
But I don't know how to fix it.
I hope one day CM team can fix it as fast as possible
So I havent found anything yet but it seems that some of the unofficial CM12 ROMs have got working GPS (Device Only)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development-n7105/rom-unofficial-build-linaro-t2997775
I have no clue how they have done it though.
Fixed the GPS by applying the ROM fix in this thread

GPS Fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/guide-fix-gps-cm12-t3084705
In this case the fix has now been added to the CM Official Nightly.
It was related to a missing driver which is what my previous link pointed to.
MIUI 11.0.3 - Location not working "Searching for GPS". Anyone having the same issue?
Software: MIUI 11.0.3 - Chinese ROM
No matter what app (That uses location) I use endlessly searches for GPS. I've done everything from disabling battery saving mode to factory resetting my phone (Didn't go back to MIUI 10, it erased all my data but stayed on MIUI 11.0.3).
I'm out of options. It's crucial for my work that the GPS works. If anyone has any solutions you would be a life saver.
Please anyone that's experiencing the same thing let me know.
I have the exact same problem. Only baidu maps work. Did you or anyone else find a solution to this?

I've tried everything you can think of and nothing worked, besides flashing a custom rom. From my experience only the Chinese miui has this issue, the global version and eea work fine. I also flashed other custom ROMs like cdroid and pixel experience and they worked fine too. Basically flash another rom to solve the issue.
I use Mi9 SE in China. All Chinese apps have GPS. I put on it all of Google things. Google Maps has GPS.
Outside China Chinese apps have GPS. From the world apps ONLY Waze can use GPS location. This is the same since MIUI 9. Now I have MIUI 11 on Android 10. So, I will buy another phone. Definitely NOT Xiaomi.
