GPS works only for some apps? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.53 on i747 and my GPS only works for some apps? For example it works for foursquare and not for any running app I have (Nike or others). What can I do ???
They are allowed to use my location within settings but I dont know if its this rom in particular or what?

Do a factory reset.

No. You will simply go back to the point when the ROM was initially installed.

Have you ever got it to work on any 4.1 ROM?

thats what Im going to do next, because this is very weird, could it be a kernel thing?

In thinking it's an unsupported app, not ready for 4.1 yet.

I think its time to flash my phone just a few questions i have

I've had my phone for over a month now running stock 4.0.2. I think I'm ready to flash my phone using the toolkit. Before I start, I have a couple questions.
1. Can I always go back to stock?
2. Should I even flash it? Stock ICS is pretty good don't you think?
3. Last question, I know its a bit opinion base, I'm looking for a rom thats really fast, good battery life, and stable. Any suggestions would be a good first rom for a newbie?
thanks alot xda members, you guys are great!

1) yes
2) custom roms give you more tweaks and performance
3) AOKP has the most functionality and TONS of options, but i'd prolly start with gummynex.
I have some questions for you.
Do you know how to get back to stock?
Do you know what to do if you encounter a bootloop?
Do you have fastboot and ADB on your computer?
If you answer NO to any of those questions, then my answer is to stick with stock ICS.

1. I think so, my phone kept rebooting. I put the stock google in the toolkit and flash it to stock. so if its the same as that then yes i can go from custom rom to stock ics
2. I think I just answer that.
3. yes
Great! Flash away!

you might also try Bugless Beast. it's fairly close to stock, but i know the dev does good work.

I meant the version of Clock Work Mod which you use to flash the ROMS. You need to do some more reading if you still can't figure what is CWM..

Just flash the jb rom and kernel. Reboot and see if you get the network. If not then revert to your ICS, until you can try again and provide logcat..

I would suggest you to stick to ICS for now, as no baseband can be quite major issue. Search the forums to find out how to provide logcat...
I would also suggest a backup of the EFS before you play anymore with flashing ROM's etc. There is a sticky in the dev threads for the same.

Before you flash are you wiping data, cache, and dakvik, and formatting system? These are required.

Since your phone already rooted all you nee now is rom to flash. Theres a lot of custom roms under android development section to choose from.

I'm pretty sure the stock keyboard doesn't auto correct. You can look in the themes and apps section, they have some in there. Or download a different keyboard. That's the great thing about Android. Try SwiftKey. I find it to be the best

Like others have said you need to get a stock ROM and flash it to get everything back to stock. You can download the original stock jelly bean keyboard if you'd like. Where did you buy this rooted phone?
You want to go back to stock easy ?
Follow my guide in my signature

Looks like you have the same phone I have (T-Mobile S4 SGH-M919), I want to install a clean and unbranded version of the ROM, I dont know whats happening but my phone is always low of memory, so I have to install Cleaner Master (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard) to clean the memory every time I unlock the screen, but this is a S4 not a old Samsung phone and I dont think I have to use apps like that to keep the phone running smothly.. Before the S4 I had a Note2 and S3 and I never got problems like this and the S3 just have a 1 RAM, Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes but you have to immediately flash a kernel that is compatible with T-Mobile. There are threads you can search for which list the compatible kernels.

Actually, all of the guys above are right, flash the rom, then YOUR CARRIERS kernel. But I am concerned with your odin thing.

I need some testers for the Sprint ls980 G2. right now i just have Carbon 4.3 aosp
I don't know if you guys are root yet or have recovery.. but TWRP with loki is what u would need to work properly

This has worked wonderfully for me,
i find that it wont connect to data untill i go into the dialer and enter *#*#DATA#*#* once
so far no bugs that i can tell.......:fingers-crossed:
will report after i take it for a spin.
and do you mind if i post a link for this rom in the Sprint LG G2 Dev section? or maybe have the Mods move it to the right section?
ill se if i can put a request for this thread to be moved, this is great work.
i'm not a dev but i can post a tutorial on how to get it working of the Sprint G2 if you would like
Im eager to try this out by the way does it have rotation issues after trying cm10.2 i have rotation issues
Issues found
Okay been running this for about a week now and this is what I found so far:
-MMS doesn't work, I receive notifications for them but never download
-Wifi and bluetooth are buggy, toggles from the Quick Settings menu tend to get stuck after 2-3 toggles and require a reboot to fix
-Dialer doesn't pick up touches sometimes
-NFC gets stuck in on position and causes massive wakelocks. I ended up disabling NFCService and Tag Service to stop the issues
-Mobile Networks Section has GSM settings in it
-Flash seems disabled in AOSP Camera app
-Rotation issues like other AOSP roms
Besides that though the ROM is surprisingly usable for being one of the few roms available for the Sprint G2, I would definitely like to see your build code since it looks 90% in working condition.

usually the culprit of not wiping. its a given that you need to wipe every time you switch roms especially from stock to custom rom.
