I can't for the life of me get a GPS fix consistantly. I've tried FasterFix and GPS Status on the market and have added the default,supl tag to my APN type. I've also used a couple of HD2 Patches supplied by Angel Death. Even then I only got an intermittent low strength connection with 5 sats in the middle of my back garden which took 6 minutes to get.
The HD2 thread I used is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
I have also looked through this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-863211.html
Which doesnt help as I've had my GPS running now looking for detection for over an hour and a half on the windowsill.
Anymore suggestions?

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.

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. Tried the fixes described above, no success.
I'm having problems with GPS on 4.1.1 as well. Worked perfectly on 4.1

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

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.

I flashed aokp ...but the GPS problem is still there. I know my GPS works because when I go to Google maps, my initial location is correct but then it moves to somewhere else...is there a way I can delete all my GPS related files...so it starts fresh. I really need this thing fixed...any help is appreciated. Thanks

There a app in the play store called faster fix. Open the app and Change your server to North American pool and apply. That usually works for me because sometimes it'll be set to Asia or not even set to anything. Hope this helps.

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.

Holy eff... you just solved my problem. All I did was I just left GPS satellites checked in "location services" and it locked on right away to my location and everything is good now! Thanks a lot friend.

Hi guys.
I have a orange hox, and I have recently encountered a issue with my GPS on my phone.
All was running nice and smooth until about 3 days ago. When I had my GPS on after about 20 mins it showed that it coildnt find GPS. I started up the app again and its was the same, but with navigation from google it would do that, but if I reset the prog it would work.
Any suggestions?

I just recently got the S III and updated to 4.1.1. Some strange reason whenever I open up maps app 85% of the time my GPS activates, but some of the time it will not come on. So I restart my phone and open up the maps and my GPS works right away. Has anyone seen this? Seems software related since it works most of the time without needing the reboot. Thanks for any help.
