I have used quite a few JB roms, my GPS works perfectly. It gets locked very quickly.

I have had some GPS problems after jellybean. Read about GPS status app and fast fix app. Installed both. Locks faster than ever.

GPS working perfectly fine on my stock 4.1.1 GSM model.

Just noticed this today. Stock GSM Nexus from the Play store. Worked fine on ICS, but after the OTA no GPS lock.

I am stock 4.1.1 no root and I lock to 5m in less than 10 seconds.

Hmmm. I have never had issues with my GPS but today for some reason I can't even get a lock outside. I see up to 11 satellites but they don't lock on. This just started happening.
I'm in Texas if that matters.

Same here, never had problems with GPS until today. So weird. I even wiped and reflashed stock ROM and it still doesn't lock

This is weird. I didn't just recently move to jelly bean either. Are you in Texas as well?

No, California. I got it to work again. Get faster fix and GPS test. Set faster fix to North America and use GPS test to clear agps

That worked. What's odd is that its still not locking on to as many satellites as usual

must be something wrong with the gps servers then...

On stock 4.1.1 currently and using maps or navigation my gps lock has been incredibly slow. It also doesn't locate my location very well any more. Was perfect on ICS.

Same here, and I've had the phone (on 4.1.1, unrooted) since Monday. It's always locked quickly before today. It only finally locked on a handful of satellites after more than a half hour of searching.
I'm in Minnesota; maybe it's a CDT thing?

I am having GPS issues today too, been working fine until today. I'm in chicago

The GPS issue has been "fixed". Most people's A-GPS got updated and they're getting locks again.

I have, speedtest.net isn't working.... but maps seems to lock on.... not quite sure what's going on.... maybe it's the speedtest app??? idk...
edit: just tried speedtest.net on my i..... err.... "other" phone.... and speedtest.net isn't finding a location server either.... so it's not my nexus.... maybe the GPS is working after all...
The "fix" does nothing for me and I've tried GPS test GPS status and faster fix. Have reset the a GPS setting and still nothing. The GPS icon doesn't flash or fill in it just stays empty until after about 30 seconds then tells me unable to get a location

Google fixed A-GPS data that they were serving phones. People are now reporting that they're able to get locks again. Mine's been a bit shaky still, but I do lock eventually.
Try another rom. I was using cm10 alpha and was starting to blame my gnex. But then I tried jelly bean stock, liquid ics, and some other rom. And GPS started to work like a champ. Instant GPS lock. And while I was on edge too! Try another rom.

i cant get NAVIGATION app to lock at all -- on the OTA deodexed JB rom from the forums -- did full data wipe re-install still cant get a lock
Try liquid ics. I'm using he GSM nexus with T-mobile. This would help determine if its a software issue or hardware. Yesterday I put liquid ics and stock jb.to the test by driving around my city and they both locked on and responded very fast.

Last week, some bad A-GPS data got pushed out to Nexus devices, and people were unable to get a GPS lock for several days.
I had no issues when everyone was reporting GPS issues but today my GNex took at least 3-4 minutes to lock onto GPS. I'm not confident it isn't ROM issue, I'd have to run some other tests to isolate it, but there is definitely something weird going on with GNex's GPS.

GPS fix? AOKP maybe cm9 ics

First of all I'm on AOKP 715 m6. My gps was nonexistent even though it was good on earlier versions. I was running a modded vle radio which i don't remember the source. Anyways, i flashed tdj's modded vle radio in one of his threads and gps initial locked on in less than 5 mins. It then locks on in less than a min after that.
At first i thought it was the kernel, so i flashed different ones, but no changes. however the radio definitely fixed it for me on AOKP.
So to those with gps problems try flashing tdj's modded radios. Sorry for being lazy on my phone and not linking them.

This was discussed months ago. Its the basic reason modded radios were made. Apparently the RILS break GPS. So yes GPS won't work unless you flash one of the modded radios, as you found out by accident lol.

I am not using a modded radio I am using the one that came with the ics official update uvle1. And I am running AOKP M6 7-15. My GPS is the best it has ever been I get instant locks even indoors. And It is accurate too. I have also used other roms and had the same results.

yeah i remembered that discussion, and I flashed a modded radio and it worked for most ROMs. I was then really bothered that my uber great locking GPS was no more... I seriously thought I flashed TDJ's radio because I had a file with the same name in my sd card. So I was bummed and decided to test kernels because thats like testing 2 things at once lol. But yeah I ended up checking the md5 of the modded radio i had on my sd card and it turns out it wasn't the same. Must have gotten it from a different thread even though the file name was the same.
But yeah it's just a little reminder to those who have GPS problems, that even though you may think you have a perfectly working radio... you should just flash TDJ's radio mods just in case.
Just flashed TDJ's modded UCLE1 radio...still no luck with GPS

What do you guys mean when you say "breaks GPS"? I am trying to determine if my problem is similar to yours.
My problem is not really an issue with the GPS but an issue with Google Maps. When I use navigation from point A to point B, say Schaumburg to Chicago, it'll always speak directions as if it's going from point B to point A, although all the on-screen directions are correct.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, but have not yet tested to see if that fixed it.

Yes this is what I have to do every time I flash a ROM and GPS breaks. I made a thread about it and there are also 2 more threads. Its a zip file you flash through cwm. Also people don't forget that if you're on cyanogenmod that you have to go into location services, GPS source and tick "use internal GPS". Or else GPS will barely work.

didn't know he had a ucle1 radio, he has a uvle1 radio though maybe try that one.
If it is the first time you're trying to lock on, it might take a while, you should turn off wifi and data while leaving your GPS on. Stand outside with it on for 5-10 mins or so, it should get a lock on. After that your GPS locks quicker the more frequent you use it.
I think a lot of people would expect GPS to lock on right away, this only happens if your phone has recent locks to the GPS. I find it best with wifi and data off and to just leave the gps on and google maps on.
btw i've tried the AGPS patch before, but if you have a crappy radio it still won't connect lol.
Here's the screenshot without data or wifi. This is inside my house. Notice the gps signal has a constant dot in the middle, i know for aokp this means i have locked on.probably the same for cm, not sure about tw, haven't been on that for a month.
Anyways it has went as low as 4m, so pretty good. This is without apply the patch.

GPS problem

I have tried dark side 4.04 and Jedi knight 2 and JMT v8... previously I used to use JMT and my GPS worked flawlessy with no problem. A little while ago I started using darkside 4.04 and GPS was working well as well. Then I installed Jedi knight and since then my GPS is never able to lock on. I have tried switching back to JMT and darkside... but the GPS doesn't lock on...I've tried using the aGPS patch as well but that didn't do anything.
If someone knows how to fix this, please help me out as GPS is a part of my daily life. Thanks a lot!

I had a similar problem with my GPS taking 5 mins to lock in, and i was using DarkSide 4.04.
So i moved to [ROM] Android Open Kang Project | September 13 | Jellybean Build 1 + Nightlies, and my GPS locks in really quick.
Not sure why, DarkSide was really good ROM but the GPS was a problem casue i use it a lot while driving.
but I am really happy with my phone now (Jellybean Build 1 + Nightlies), hope this helps you.

That's weird... I always hear about that problem but I've never experienced it. Try AOKP 9/13 with lg3 radio. That's what I'm running and gps is perfect. Also try uninstalling and reinstalling Google maps. Also use internal gps for location... This is all I've done just posting what worked for me. Let me know what happens.

Data connection drops since updating to 4.1.2

Hi all,
Since flashing 4.1.2 (after a complete wipe) my data connection sometimes doesn't connect after disconnecting from wifi.
I see the "H" icon but the bars stay gray and the connection is down.
The only way to fix this once it happens is to reboot, which is quite annoying...
I've had this problem before on 4.0 but it eventually went away.
I tried both the default xxlf radio and uglh.
EDIT: I should mention I'm running stock and rooted.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Mine only seems to do it if I constantly go back and forth between HSPA and EDGE(like I stated before). Kinda sucks. lol. Wonder what happened that could've caused this.
Stock, Rooted, Unlocked bootloader
This happens to me almost every single time. I find that turning off LTE then turning it back on seems to work.
EDIT:
Also is it only me, or does JB take over 2 minutes to boot up? Long story short I used OTA Rootkeeper to keep root, I installed the update.zip in CWM and it installed. CWM didn't have to be reinstalled and my Bootloader stayed unlocked. When I installed the OTA update.zip though I didn't clear cache or do a wipe, I just installed it, could that be leading to my O.S. issues?

YouTube v5 update - landscape issues

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.
