Hi guys,
My Google location services show my location a few meters away from my router (20m at least)
I have tried going to another location with another router. Same thing happens. It shows the same distance which I face on mine.
I tried resetting router, turning on/off Google location services, changing ROMs.
It used to be correct when I was on gingerbread. I don't know if ICS has caused it or something else.
Anyone facing this issue?

Anyone been able to get the gps for this app to work on a rooted SGS3? I have it in system apps but notta gps, still enables wifi only. Any help or workarounds? Thanks!
I'm not having any issues with it. Can you rephrase your issue, please? The web interface won't track the phone?
It will track the phone via web, but the gps will not track, all I get is a little split second icon like the gps wants to turn on, but wont, and wifi automatically takes over the phone internet connection. Im trting to get gps to work on this thing and its not.

Does the app have su access? Have you enabled Device Administration within the app?
Delete thread, problem was solved through cerberus support. Was wondering why gps icon was disappearing suddenly. Once the app enables, gps goes to ghost mode.

Mainly happens with Facebook (have locations disabled but still turns on the GPS and tries to get a lock)
Randomly the GPS will try to get a lock (or even get one) and stay on, even after the application that was using it is closed... Have tried using terminal to stop the location service and doesn't do anything...
Anyone found a workaround for this (besides the normal rebooting)... It started to eat the battery like crazy when it does this

I have this same problem. My solution was to stop using the Facebook app as it is the only one that causes me the problem.

I've had the same problem with the Facebook app, I suggest turning the GPS off from the pull down bar before entering the app all together

Like 30% of my battery for the third day in a row is Maps, yet I haven't opened maps once. I restart everyday and it happens again. I assume it has to be the gps, but i dont know of any app that is using it, either.
Touchdown uses about the same amount of battery, so I'm wondering if it has some gps feature running I don't know about? How do I figure out what the problem is?

try this, go to your app manager, locate your map(gps) etc.. and wipe cache.
If you turn off your location access i think it might help.
Using anything like Google now ?

So I've searched around and nothing has helped. I have already tried the agps patch to no avail. I am currently on CM 10.1. I would love to use my GPS. Any ideas? Btw, I have tried turning off gps and turning it back on while Maps or another app is searching for gps signal but that didn't work neither.

Can you provide a bit more? Is the GPS not turning on? Incorrect location?
Make sure when you're testing you have a clear view of a good chunk of the sky. Turn off "Allow Mock Locations" (in developer options) to make sure something isn't providing bad information overriding the GPS antenna. Also make sure the app you're using has permission to use Fine Location

For example, when I try to use Maps, under the GPS icon I see "Location Set by GPS." it still does not work though. Last time I tried using it was while I was running outdoors and it still did not grab any signal. I'll try to take off Allow Mocking but can't seem to find it. Lol. I'll keep looking.

I've had the exact same issue ever since flashing 10. My phone doesn't even pick up satellites or anything. I flashed back to an ICS ROM, and everything worked flawlessly. Even on the stick touchwiz 4.1.2 it worked, but on cyanogenmod, I haven't been able to get anything.
I just switched to Jedi Mind Trick 6 and still the same issue! What now?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you all knew of any ways to reset the compass to its default values because whenever I use google maps my compass is either 45 degrees off or going in a 360 degree spin out and doesn't stop. It usually happens when I am using the navigation and walking at the same time.
I have GPS status and toolbox from the google play store which the compass seems fine in there, but whenever I use google maps its completely off.
How do I fix this?

Same exact problem here no idea how to fix it, noticed it first start happening when I flashed 4.4 beanstalk and I downgraded to 4.3 and it's still happening.

Try using an app to recalibrate it? Thats all I can think of.
