Problems with google maps, he remains paralyzed searching gps..

like the thread title says i have this problem.. my google maps is always "searching for gps" in the Navigation function
few threads ago i was posted a problem with GPS STATUS or GPS TEST...
They were not finding any satellite...
later with the help of @superstick1 & @blbean i was fixed it... now these apk finds even 7 satellites!!!!(often LOL)
but Navigation continues without work.... some suggestion?
i was tested:
1-reinstall the apk. (not fixed my problem)
2-erase data caché OF THE APP only (not solved my problem)
3-fix gps sat. with gps status(not solved)but 5 satellites found...
4-use FASTERFIX.apk and then restart my machine (not solved)
EDIT: ufff! i´m desperate more tries:
5-flashed another recommened rom from coredroid thread: 12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3 (orange uk)but its weird because i´m living in spain (orange es) (NOT SOLVED MY TROUBLE)
6-flashed another kernel: from leedroid 2.2.9 to my current BUZZ 1.3.8.3 1.2 GHZ MAX(NOT SOLVED)
I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP BOYS (OR GIRLS )

Have you tried using a different rom and/or kernel?

Hi SERGI.3210
We meet again. Lol. I notice from my own experience that if we often reboot our phone, the GPS state will be restarted. And hence it will take some time for the GPS to work again.
For example, I have once flashed LeeDrOid' v2.2.2 in the past few months(first time), and I got a fix very quickly. It will be within 5-15 seconds? At most it will take is 30 seconds. However, after I reboot for whatever reason(I forgot, but I am not flashing anything else), and the GPS takes more time to get a fix again. The situation got worsen when I am in the car to get a fix. Took about 5-10 minutes??
But after some time, tolerating such slow fix(I know, its annoying) it suddenly get back to normal again. Which means I can get a fix very fast again.
Many has recommended the use of GPS Status app to clear A-GPS data and then download them back again. It works for them it seems, but in some to a large extent, it did not really work for me.
Maybe you can try Ulysee Gizmos app from the market? It has the capability to download A-GPS data as well. Recently I try using it and it seems to fix my problem once again. When was it? Last two days ago. Lol. Now it still work fine. Hopefully this continues.
I am still use GPS Status to get A-GPS data. Which means I am using both of them at the same time. Probably both apps does fires out some solutions? Haha. Me not sure but you can try.
Cheers mate. =)

thank´s for you usefuls posts man..
see you soon here
EDIT: i tried to install another GPS NAVIGATOR (sygic) BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS... i´m really sure that the problem its that my device finds gps when he wants And if it is clouded less still

I am fine here thanks. Getting ready for work now.
In your case, the problem is nothing to do with the navigation software but your GPS cannot get a fix. It may due to hardware failure.
If the situation persist, probably you should consider sending your device to HTC for a check. But make sure you turn back your phone into normal state first. (i.e. unroot your phone)

i pretty much have the same problem ...
5+ mins to lock my position ..
RcMixHD 5.5 and a changed radio... i will just burn it..

So you finally got a fix? Congrats!
Yea, try to send it to HTC for a check. By the way, again, remember to unroot your phone first before sending to them.

good night buddy!!!!
i have soo good noticesx100000000000
THAKE THIS:
gps status:found 8 or 9 sat.
fixed in 62 segs.
google maps:working perfectly!
finding gps at the moment
15 meters position error max. (better than my htc hero)
THE MEDICINE:
1--Though I feel sorry very much I had that flahs another CUSTOM ROM
2--Then I´VE flashed the recommended radio and was foun 3 or 4 sat...
3--and the most important: flash the RIL for this radio in this moment i was found 8 or 9 sat.!!!
the only one thing that i don´t like (nothing nothing) is the custom rom:
RCmix 6.1.0.1 (ported from desire s)
i´m COREDROID LOVER and RCMIX seems too simple but i preffer the good performance before beauty things...
Nevertheless when it does a few kilometres and tested well the GPS I will try with Leedroid (froyo) to see if I obtain the same results

Good for you buddy!
Usually if you got a fix pretty quick, it will have errors ranging to 30-50 meters(that is from what I obverse based on my device that locks within 5-15, max 30 seconds). Then it will adjust overtime. Well, still better than doesn't get a fix at all.
Hmm.. RCMis HD6.1.0.1? The Evolutionary Sense ROM? I have not try that yet.. plan to try after my exam. Currently concentrating on my exam for this month. Also quite satisfied with my current flashed LeeDrOid v2.2.3 ROM now. Lol.
Probably will be trying Miui too. I would prefer staying with Sense ROM as there is unlikely to have Premium Navigation in Non-sense ROM. If I would to try other GPS apps, I will have to pay for it. Premium Navigation is free for life for me in Malaysia + Singapore. Also finding addresses with it is easier, unlike other GPS app.(i.e. cannot search address). Probably due to the names of addresses here. Here uses Malay names and not English.

got the same problem with doom custom kernel and different custom roms

It's very strange. To test it better download GPS test from Play Store. Try it with any ROM or Kernel. CM9, CM7, stock or MIUI.

thanks...i will try it at home.
i wounder that i could not find any improve for my gps.
at my "old" lg optimus speed, i could go in the "hidden menu" and change the gps server from the android , to the nokia server -> very fast gps fix.
is that possible at the xperia play.
but i see something strenge:
everytime, when i activate gos, it ask me, if i would connect to gps, it may coast some cash.
normaly this warning came 1 time, and it's it. but i saied over 40 times, "ok".
maybe anybody knows this bug?!

any solution?

still got GPS-Problems...
I got still problems with my GPS.
It will not navigate me.
When i go to any navigation system, it shows me, where i am (up to 100m from my real place).
But it wouldn't fix my place, where i am.
I tried a lot of rom's (also stock roms....with root and without...)diverent navigation systems....
Gps test shows me up to "0/3"Sattelites....don't know, what this means.
I think the gps modul works, because it can fix GPS (after some time) when i open the device(like i want to play) and put it in the window of my car (to the front..) but this is the only way, it works....
solutions? A friend of mine got also a xperia play and he get a fix in ~10 secounds....
plz help because i need GPS
Best regards

i have the same problem

here try flashing this in recovery its a gps fix that acquires signal from up to 12 satellites instead of just the bare minimum 4 or something like that. Ive been using and I get a location fix real fast and when I do a gps test I'm always using up to 9 never less than 7! Hope this can cure your problem. And if that does nothing for you try this: found it over in neo forum

Problems with WIFI, GPS and radio after 2.17 update

A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??
HTC, i dont know what you are doing over there, but i have to say that this product is absolutly not what i suspected. I waited for the 2.17 to give the product a second chance, but it is even worse

Basic question. Still, have you backed up and tried Factory restore?

recently my phone doesn't read the SIM after a few hours of use. Says there's no SIM.

agree with the first comment. Can't confirm yet WIFI performance but GPS is now really bad. It was working great on 4.0.3 same as WiFi

I do not agree. I'm also using 2.17 and everything with GPS and wifi is OK.

Have you installed the correct bootfiles also the Kernel for this rom?

I used only files from the instalation guide. No other modifications

CUSTOM ROMMERS
Just ensure you have installed the rom correctly, aswell as flashing the right boot.img for 2.17.401.2, then although it seems like a pointless task, please do well to include the command 'fastboot erase cache' before AND after the flash of the boot.img, just to be sure we don't have any kernel bits left behind. You could also go the extra mile and clear the dalvik cache in your custom recovery...
STOCK ROMMERS
You should ensure that your update was successful (check this in settings > about > software information) If the software version is 2.17.XXX.X
Then the update was successful, just double check your radio/baseband is what its supposed to be which is 2.1204.135.20 (i think)

I have a good question: Did you drop the phone recently or otherwise do anything to push the phone case down? It sounds like you crushed all the antenna contacts or your case just isn't seated right.
SIM losing contact would suggest that the SIM pins aren't fitted snugly against the SIM. You can either put tape on the sim to get to to fit more snugly or send it in for warranty repair.

I did not drop the phone, or did something strange with it. The only thing i want from a device that costs € 500,00 is that everything is does work.

I've have experienced a drop in mobile network signal after the 2.17 update. Haven't tested GPS but WiFi seems alright. I have not dropped the phone nor done anything unusual to it, just updated. Before, I had 5 bars/full signal all the time, and when I checked battery stats the network signal indicator throughout the day was green. Now, after the update the indicator is yellow and I have around 1-3 bars if signal.
Also, I'm in Denmark so I got the 1.29.xxx.12 update which was supposed to optimize signal strength. So right now I hope they are working on a similar fix.

The Custom ROMMERS part worked for me.
I had the same Problem. Just checked after a half hour and it still works.
Just try this method

Dear all,
I was using the Lee-droid rom. I switched to insert coin rom 9.xx and even tried the android revolution rom. In both I had the same problem. Using wifi I have almost no data although the signal is strong. It just keeps trying to synchronize like for hours. But for some reason whatsapp conncection works and no problems there, but when it comes to loading the play store it takes ages (5 min. plus). I already searched the internet for solutions but haven't found one. When I use my providers internet, it also just keeps trying to synch (and for some reason never seems to complete??) internet is also really slow and it used to be faster on mobile as wel as wifi. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am really desperate to get this working, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Edit: Confirmed that wifi does drop out sometimes and cant seems to get a signal although im standing right next to the router. But when I have wifi, I have a great connection, but almost no data, only whatsapp seems to work.

I can also confirm taht after the 2.17xxx update wifi is droping a lot. Didn't had that problem on 1.29. Also there are other issues but it will probably be best if I open a new thread or someone else does that, just for the sake that htc will read it and make our phones better

To me, your issues sound like radio related issued, although I could be wrong. You both on custom roms? With custom recoveries? I suggest if 1.29 worked better signal wise that you flash that radio in your custom recovery. That might improve your signal. Its basically different for everyone which radios work the best so basically it's trial and error.
Lemme know how you get on :thumbup:

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but i've been having a strange issue for a while. I believe is started when I began using jellybean roms (Not 100% sure). My phone will work for a day or two with no issues and then I just suddenly lose my gsm/3g connection. Numerous restarts later and if still doesn't work. Can't use it as a phone at all. If I reflash or change the rom, my connection works again for a few days and then then same thing happens. I'm having to reinstall roms every few days to have a working phone. I did have the pogo battery cover on for most of that time. Last time it happened, I removed the cover and I suddenly had a connection. I've left it off since, hoping it was just that but sadly not. Happened again to me just now

Hi, have you flashed any different radios? What's your current software version and does your Wifi drop as well? Or is it just mobile data?

After the 2.17 OTA update, the signal is always medium...but now there r no call drops or loss in signal

sandipbarik said:
I got my 2.17 OTA update last night, immedietly after the update my wifi signal was dropping, which was pretty stable 3 bars before that.
Today morning im getting dropped gsm signal...sometimes its showing no signal...eve a manual signal search gets me no network, omly airplane mode on/off gets the signal back.
I m not unlocked and not rooted...just plain factory stock.
should i unlock it and flash the radio from the 1.29 rom ??

That's up to you, but many users have experienced that some radios work better for different people. 2.17 works ok for me, maybe you should try.

I think i have the same problem, when data On, GPS On he sometimes turn of after i turn in and when put the pin and he try to connect to the carrier turn of again. This only happens now when i flash faux kernel and before with alex-v kernel..

[Q] GPS not working. I tried EVERYTHING!!!

Hello! I know this is a common thread, but i'm desperate!
My GPS is not locking at all, i left the phone for 10 to 20 minutes and i got nothing...
I'm using the CM10.1 MoDaCo ROM, but i tried so many ROMS, fixed configuration files, walkthroughs, etc, but none of them seem to work.
I'll list all the methods that i try so far.
1) Flash a fixed configuration file
2) Change the ROM: i tried with the stock 4.2.2, CM10, CM10.1 Nightlies, CM10.1 Experimental, MoDaCo CM10.1
3) Flash different radios. I live in Chile, so i tried UGLL1 and UGKL1
4) Clear data of Google Services Framework, restart, etc
5) Used FasterGPS to set my location in the right area
6) Used GPS Status to improve AGPS
7) Change the build.prop file
I tried every method and the combination of them, but nothing has worked for me so far....
The GPS is very important for me because i use it to track my rides with Strava, and since the GPS is not working, i cannot start the application...
I really need help...
I use a Galaxy Nexus Maguro without Wallet and live in Chile. I cannot tell exactly when the GPS started to fail, but at least in the stock 4.1.2 it was working perfect, so i guess it started failing when i updated to CM10 and then to CM10.1.....

Ok try this if you haven't.
In settings turn off all location. Reboot
Make sure location reporting is still off.
Clear data on Maps force stop maps
Reboot
Clear data on maps and force stop again
Enable location
Get gps lock with maps or easy gps.
Might not work but I have had your same problem and this fixed it .... good luck

Hi!
Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately i've already tried this method with no succeed. I tried again but it didn't work...
Thanks anyway, i'm going to try to roll back to stock 4.1 (because the GPS was working with that version)
and if it really works i'm going to upgrade to 4.2 to see if i can find the error...
If someone else can give me a solution i'll appreciate it!

I already tried, but with Android 4.2.2 and it didn't work.
Before i flashed the 4.2.2 i was using stock 4.1 without problems, so i believe, and hope, that this is a software issue in the 4.2.2 update...
I'm going to try it now and i let you know.

My GPS got worse after upgrading to 4.2.2. Lock takes much longer and finds less satellites
- wore out your welcome

More info
Well, i returned to Stock Android 4.1.2 using Fastboot, but the GPS didn't work either... So i updated via OTA to 4.2.2 and the GPS didn't worked again...
But i noticed that the Nexus S belonging to my sister, wich uses CyanogenMod 10, is not working either!
So i have a doubt now: Is it possible that CyanogenMod could have ruined our GPSs? If i erased everything via fastboot, is it possible that some remains of CyanogenMod could still be breaking my GPS? Or are our GPSs, strangely, broken at the same time?!
Please Help!!!

If you've flashed the Google factory image, you have an active sim card with data connection, and gps does not work, then you have a hardware problem.

And is there a way to fix it?

Out of my realm of expertise, but I imagine the sirf chipset is not user serviceable. Your best bet would be Samsung factory service. I'm sorry.

Well, after giving up on trying to solve my GPS problem, it fixed itself.... i know that sounds weird, but the only thing that i did was update the CM10.1 to the latest RC2 and the problem was fixed, at least partially. Now it can find some satellites and it takes like 100 seconds.
The Gnex GPS isn't the best one, so it behaves a little weird some times, but at least is fixed now...
I really don't know what could be the problem, because i tried with almost any Rom, officials and no-officials...
Finally, the CM10.1 RC2 fixed my problem, hope this could help someone else.

Enable wifi & mobile network location in settings
Should be some code in 4.2.2 that prevents you from getting AGPS data if you disable the said option.

The problem is fixed now, but i tried everything, from rolling back to 4.1 official to 4.2.2 official, CM9, CM10, CM10.1, AOKP, etc. So i really don't know what could be the problem. I also tried the solution that you told me, but that didn't work either.
Right now, with CM10.1 RC2 my GPS is working great and i'm able to use Strava again.

I've been having the same issue. I'm running a Stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus, on my third one now. I have tried everything from apps, to resets, to disconnecting the gps, and nothing seems to work. It just seems to take forever to get a GPS lock, sometimes I just have to reset it. Not sure the issue, and I can't seem to find anyone with answers either. IDK if anyone found anything??

Cold start gps can take up to 20 minutes outdoors with a clear view of the sky if you don't have current agps data. Thereafter, you should have quick starts for a day or two.
Is your data working properly? Do you have sync settings turned off?

My data is working just fine, I actually have great 4g where I'm at, and all my sync is turned on. I've never had GPS problems with any of my other phones. I had an EVO 3D, and it worked great, cold starts would take seconds to find GPS.

And you have certified that all the gps settings/permissions are turned on? Even in the Google settings app?
Since you are stock, it might be helpful for diagnosis to preform a factory reset.
Edit - I see on another thread that you have already performed a factory reset. Next step would be to flash the factory image and see if that helps.

Thanks, I'll have to look up and see how to do that without root and boot loader unlocked, this is my third Galaxy Nexus from Verizon, they keep replacing it and I keep having the same issue
And yes all setting have been turned on, kind of driving me nuts

I'm sorry for you. it must be very frustrating.
As far as flashing an official factory image, I think you can do it unlocked if you have adb set up. Or use a toolkit, unlock, flash factory, relock (or not, why not keep it unlocked?)

[SOLVED] [Q] Mobile Data keeps dropping out

Hello, I'm new here, so sorry if this isn't in the right place, or I've broken one of the rules.
I recently installed CM11 on my Sony Xperia M (C1904), and it's been working well, however I've run into a few issues.
([ROM][KTU84P][4.4.4][NIGHTLY/FXP341] Official CyanogenMod 11)
Mobile Network keeps dropping out. So I hit connect, it connects, and then a few seconds later, it turns off.
Sometimes (quite rarely), I am able to connect, and what I've noticed is that when it connects successfully, the mobile data icon is white with H+ or 3G next to it. Other times, it's just orange with an 'x' in the corner. It's not my phone, and it's not my sim, or my network provider, as it worked perfectly fine the day before when I had stock Xperia UI (4.1.2).
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
On a side note, for some reason I can't seem to install themes. It gives me an error saying "<insert theme name> failed to install".
If I reflash the ROM, do I need to wipe data? Will I lose my data? It took me all day today just to get everything back on through Titanium Backup.
I just tried swapping SIMS. And it's definitely CyanogenMod. I put my SIM into a nokia Lumia, and it worked fine. I put the lumia's sim into mine, and same problem as above.

I just tried a factory reset, and it worked! I can now connect to Mobile Data for extended periods of time. No idea what the hell was wrong though. Lost 400 apps :crying: now I have to spend another day to get them all back with Titanium backup
I can also install themes now yay!
What's the difference between FXP and Nightly builds? Sorry, yesterday was the first time I've ever installed a custom ROM. So I'm really, really noob.
