4.0.4 GPS issues - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Has anyone else experienced issues with the GPS having a hard time locating after the update? It used to work flawlessly on 402 but now it's pretty much worthless.

GPS has been normal for me since update. Just checked with the GPS test app and it located just fine.

Went into the app's settings > "Update AGPS" and it improved to this:

GPS fine here. And there.

GPS works fine for me here. I'm on stock 4.0.4 yakju rooted. I think GPS initialization is even faster than 4.0.3 (EBMod)

Fine for me too. Faster locking actually. Are you using a custom rom, kernel?

No, completely stock and not rooted. Maybe it's just my imagination, just seems like before the update it worked great and now it can't find me. Even did my update ota.

I too have found myself with the location problem... Maps Google+ Facebook location based features do not work. I have however noticed that when you switch down to 2G it locates fine. I dont know if its data stored in that partition thats causing it maybe, if any devs can chime in and the help would be greatly appreciated.
Rooted running latest Gummy rom and Baseband I9250UGLC1

Just an update after troubleshooting I stopped by a T-Mobile store and had my sim card replaced and that did it for me. Once its replaced make sure you cycle off and on a few times.

Interesting, I'll have to try the new sim card thing. Thanks for the heads up.

YouTube using Mobile Data: "Connection to server lost"

Running AOKP build 36 and franco #162 at the moment and i keep getting this error shown below while using mobile data. it works fine on Wifi.
it seems to be an issue with the Vodafone UK network while running custom ROMS (ive tried AOKP and CM9), because using the stock imm76i image with the exact same APN settings and the videos work fine on mobile data. I have tried my three sim inside and that seems to work fine with no problems running stock and custom ROMS.
does anyone else have this issue and how did they solve it? gets abit annoying because i have to copy the URL link into the browser to be able to view the videos when im not on Wifi.

As usual, a better description of your problem would be way more helpful that:
does anybody have seen this.
But I guess you are missing some displaying of icons.
Though I have not that many experiances with geh Google Nexus, I would guess it's an hardware error of the graphic chip. (If it's a stock ROM)
Else there could be a problem with the graphic driver.(of a Custom Rom)
My apologies for the vague question. But thanks for the input. Those 'black boxes' were my widgets and folders. I'm running a completely bone stock GSM phone from the Play Store with the new 4.1.1 OTA update.
Everything seems to be back to normal now that I did a reset. Should I think about doing a warranty service?

Did you try a reboot and did it change anything? Or did you go straight for a reset (=reset to default or reinstalling?)
How long did Android run? (I ask because I know of an Issue of Windows (which might not be true for any Linux/Andoid/Unix system, still.....)
e.g. there was (is (?) a problem once Windows runs out of memory. then it stops displaying Icons correctly. but in such a situation it was also very, very slow but a reboot helped

NO!
looks like a software issue.. there is nothing for warranty to repair..
@dna99 - Wrong choice of word, I performed a soft reset(reboot) not a complete reset. I'm not sure how long android was running for didn't check before I rebooted the phone. I can believe that (running low on memory).
@pdx - Thanks for the advice.

Voxer on GS3 with Cyanogenmod...

Hey all, I have noticed a trend on both my GS2 and now my GS3, it would appear that certain apps would have low mic volume after installing clean builds of either CM9 or now CM10.
Does anyone know if a fix or has anyone else encountered this specific issue?
Again, my mic is just fine, I even went back to a TouchWIZ based ROM to confirm this, it would appear that in CM ROMs for some 3rd party apps, in this case Voxer, that the mic is turned down extremely low.
And now the program will only produce audio via the earpiece with the MIUI ROMs, the mic is also EXTREMELY low. Does anyone have advice?
i was just about to post this! what's going on?
I'm really surprised by all the ppl that flash a ROM without reading through a thread...CM has disabled one mic, hence the audio being low. All other AOSP ROMs are based on CM, which is why they have the problem. There is no fix that I've seen as of right now. Either run a CM based ROM and have the problem or flash back to a TW ROM.

Check this out!

I had a weird thing happen with my signal today. It kept going out, and data just wouldn't work! Although the 3G icon was there nothing would download. Here is a pic of the connection status! Look at the mobile network type!

i had this happen to me for like two weeks on and off. After a while it would do this to me while the bars were blue! I tried toggling my data on and off, toggling airplane on and off, rebooting and even calling sprint to have them restart my data. This even followed me from rom to rom. The only way I got rid of it was to download the complete FH05 jellybean tar and odin back to stock jelly bean. I tried to odin to FD02 and except the ota but it followed me there too. Its wierd, and it started after I flashed a certain rom(wont name it cuz i cant be sure it had anything to do with it) and then the rom gave me some probs I wiped and restored my nandroid of cm10 I had before I flashed the mystery rom and thats when it started. And cm10 was working awesome for like three weeks before the mystery rom flash. I mean problems dont just pop up, theyre either there or theyre not.
Well I ended up calling Sprint today to find out what the problem was and they told me it was due to some tower being worked on! Maybe it has to do with the LTE?
I've had that happen to me a couple of times. Mainly its when I had it set to run on GSM/Edge/LTE/HSPA+ mode.
Its just due to the way your phone finds the best tower. It shouldn't hurt your phone, or affect your data in any way. Just switch your roaming profile to home only. It should fix it.
And to the Photoshop guy...
Are you that stupid? Seriously, use your mind. It doesn't look photoshopped. Even if it was, it would be a decent work.

SPD Clien update

A couple of days ago, a notification to update SPDClient appeared in Galaxy App Store (Samsung Apps). But what is this app for, and what does the update do? The descriptions does not show any relevant information and there are many comments asking what does this app do.
Does anyone know about this app?

It tells you in the app description what it is.

I also got that and was little afraid of updating, worrying if Samsung trying to sneak some security update for Knox, or root discovery etc.(I'm stock rooted). But it seems to be internal driver related to data exchange over networks, possibly updated due to new hardware like VR or S-watch. I updated it now, so in case I buy Samsung watch or some other new hardware in near future, I won't go crazy wondering why it doesn't work, since once you decline the update, usually doesn't come back anymore.
