if it says inaccurate signal for car navigation, usually its because the gps signal isn't locking.
have u tried using it outdoor? when it was working how long does it take to have a lock? was it accurate?
if not u can download either gps tools or gps data from play store to update your agps
or edit the NTP servers in gps.conf according to your location

Using? Sigic to.
What version are you running ?
11.2.6 Last good version.
With 12.xx 13.xx sily programming
Kills basic gps functions. It does internet connections while handling gps info. This is very bad.... Ig you lose the cpnnection gps will stop kan last several minutes...
You lost tons of gps signals buffered up.mostly crashing cmx.x
If you are lucky you get info minutes to late.
Use droidwall to kill all sygic phone home functions... It works a bit better

lol yea 12.1.3 is better! BtW ive realised that original sygic version makes gps work but cracks make it do not work
Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.its most dependent on wifi on internet access. In any case with this low a basic gps quality im not buying such a product.( gps finding satelites very slow often no more satelited on restart or waiting forever with 11 fixed satelites on lock often waiting longer then the drive itself
.
The trial version(official) is clearly bad. See description 12.1.1-12.1.2-12.1.3 13.1beta1/beta2 all versions have the same flaw. No or broken network= huge delays up to 10 minutes google maps are faster.
Verry long gps delays where tomtom and old versions 11,2,6 have no gps problems at all
Vetsion 11.2.6 crashes cm 7.2 at least every half an hour.Instable software.... Under such conditions i prefere a simple working( more primitive user interface) of TomTom.
Start delay 30sec gps delay unnoticable.
Delays only arrose on sygic.
Ps there is an additional problen sygic above 80km/hr zoomed out low problems . Problem mainly arrise between 5 and 50km/hr.
Exactly when looking for a destination.
No problems like that on TomTom except heavy non driver friendly

Hi I have a data plan with Rogers so the a-gps should be picking location with maps or waze. I was driving this morning but the gps was searching the whole time. I was on 4g during this time. All 3 of the boxes under location services are checked.
Thanks for any ideas
Depends heavily on the position inside your car.
The closer to a window or the windscreen the better. Try holding it up to the drivers window for a few seconds and see if it locks on.
Even the best GPS isn't going to work if it's completely shielded from the satellites by the metal roof.
Restart GPS Navigation app or Restart phone helps.

Should not have to restart your phone every time you want to use navigation.
I am having the same issue.
The GPS icon won't even display in the info bar without a restart.
Do you think this is a hardware or software issue ??
I notice about once a day on average that the gps icon will show up in the status bar. Sometimes it's only for a second or two and sometimes it's there for a couple of minutes. One time I saw it and it just seemed to last forever (I didn't time it but I'd guess 15-30 minutes).
I've gotten messages a few times about apps not being able to access location services. I don't use maps very much but I had it open the other day and it just froze up on me. No message about gps but I didn't keep the app open very long after it was obvious it wasn't going to work.
I'm on rogers in Ottawa.
Edit: Just played around in maps/navigation and gps flat out doesn't work. It was using cell tower triangulation and searching for gps the whole time. I had to turn on wifi to get an accurate location.

Anyone have a home made solution or is this a warranty issue?

So, after I posted last night I went out side and checked my GPS. Sitting on the steps infront of my building I conected to GPS in google maps and navigation right away - it worked like a charm.
Then I noticed it said "4G" instead of LTE in the status bar. I live downtown surrounded by buildings and I drop to "4G' on my front steps like 90% of the time. So, I get up and walk down the block and my LTE kicks in. Low and behold, I lost GPS. It only happened briefly but I lost the signal during the switch. Then I read that the note 2 only has a-GPS and lacks regular GPS. I don't know a ton about this stuff but I did read that connecting to GPS can sometimes be an issue if you only have a-GPS and your connection sucks.
Hopefully this is something that can be fixed with a software update. Who knows, maybe this is why those of us with the I317/I317M are the last ones to get the OTA update. I'm gonna call rogers today and let them know about the issue and see what they say. I don't wanna go through the hassle of exchanging my phone if every handset has this issue right now.
Are you using the Perseus kernel? If so GPS does not seem to work correctly regardless of which location provider is used. I reverted to stock and my GPS works.

My Rogers Note 2 has no problems with GPS at all. If you're all stock and have spotty connections, than it's your area. Tall buildings would probably hinder GPS fixes initially.
Rogers here unlocked . Telus network. Rooted and themed and modded. GPS works wonderfully.

Right now I'm stock/unrooted and I intend to stay that way for the time being. I'll be heading to the mall later so I'll pay a visit to the Rogers store and Wireless Wave (awesome third party wireless store in Canada - they really know their ****) and see what they say.
I have the bell version. Just tested on lte. In my house locked on in 4 secs with no wifi.. Gps works great on my phone.

Sorry I took so long to respond but I got sucked in to the mall lol.
So, long story short. Nobody has any clue and the unusually clueless staff at the rogers store (casual Christmas employees) basically said I need to talk to Samsung cuz my 15 days are up. The guys at wireless wave hadn't heard anything about anybody having any issues with gps. Finally, I went to Telus and found someone who actually had a clue and she said it was the first she'd heard of it and actually recommended I check xda.
On my way home now and then I'll call rogers. I'm not hopeful about the outcome lol.
Stay tuned...
I'll post back again when I

Hello folks,
Just an update .. I have been playing around with waze (free at the appstore) for the last day and a half and my gps has been flawless.
Our GPS issues could more then likely be with the actual Navigation app that comes pre installed.
By the way Waze seems to be very impressive I must admit :good:
I used something similar to that app posted.the ones I have is called gpstest.showing 0 satellites for me.like another poster said, should not have to restart the phone or flash firmware on it for GPS to work.it should work otb
Thanks for the feedback

Interesting... I've had this issue happen only once. Nothing I did would start a GPS search. I waited about 2 hours outdoors in a car. Once I restarted the phone, it had a lock on lots of sattelites within 10 sec.
It hasn't happened since.
Hi all,
I just bought a slightly used Note 2 yesterday. Today, I tested the GPS and put it side by side
with a Galaxy S2 and my old gs2 picked up the GPS just fine, but the Note 2 did not even pick
up a single satellite even after 30 minutes. The GS2 picked up all satellites in 30 seconds sitting
right next to it.
I turned on GPS and use wifi/network location too.
This is a stock unrooted Note 2 running 4.1.2 stock OS.
Is there anything else I can do and try? I'm desperate. I searched and read all the posts on google and here
and found no solution.
Thank you
-mike-
I had the same problem the other day. I had to use odin to go back to an earlier stock version. The latest stock version did not fix it. Everything works great now.

Mine was unrooted and running stock 4.1.2. Are you saying that the problem is in the stock OS?
Is this a common problem? Which stock version I need to go back to?
Thank you.
No not a problem with stock. If you haven't flashed anything to your phone then I highly doubt its a software conflict. I've read on some Samsung phones the small screws on the back of the phone become loose causing no gps signal. You could try tightening them to see if that helps. My gps failed because I flashed a Verizon note 2 rom that I've used in the past but the newest version doesn't seem to play well. The stock version I flashed was from January. You can find all the stock roms in the development section here.

I tried the screws and they were all tight. I guess I will have to try different rom...
My GPS couldn't even find a single satellite sitting outdoor...
I would flash back to an earlier stock version and then update to the latest version and see if that fixes it. Just backup your data/apps/pictures first because you'll lose everything on your internal storage when you flash a stock rom with odin.

I flashed tweaked rom. You could just take an ota update to get back to the latest stock version or flash with odin.

What did you do with the app to make yours worked?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 4
I turned the GPs on while the app was open and saw the Gps indicator light up then I immediately opened maps and let it lock on my location I guess in my case it just kicked the gps in the pants I haven't had any problems since.
From the D's GN2
Did the gps test app show the number of satellites it locked on? Google map may not be a good indication because it uses wifi/data to locate you if it couldn't find satellite. Try something like 'GPS Test' to verify the number of satellite it locked on.

- just to make sure nothing else conflicts, I did a factory reset. It's running stock JB 4.1.2. Unrooted. Stock recovery.
- when I turned on GPS in setting and started google map, the GPS icon on the status bar did not even display
and of course google map could not get a fix on my location. This is outdoor. To be sure that my test location was good, I put my wife's Galaxy S2 next to it and turn on both. The S2 acquired position under 30 seconds with 14 satellites.
- i d/l GPS Test and it did not show any satellite
- I d/l GPS Status Toolbox and it did not fix it
- I d/l "TopNTP" to clear/download AGPS data and it did not fix it.
- I then sent it back to Samsung. The repair log said:
"problem found: cannot download sw/PRL. Solution: updated s/w. Reset. Quality Control passed. "
(when I saw 'cannot download sw/PRL', I googled it and I already suspected that it wouldn't be fixed. As most people
I found on google when they sent a phone back to Samsung all have this line "cannot download sw/PRL')
I got it back after 7 days and it was exactly as before I sent it out. Same firmware version, same OS version, same everything. True enough, same problem. How competent can they be? I stated that the problem is "GPS could not acquire satellite". How hard was it to test it? Just turn it on, turn on GPS in settings, run google map. Their quality control couldn't even do that and signed it off.
I called them again and I'm sending it back again. This is getting frustrated.
I still have the gut feeling that this is not a hardware problem, but what else I can try? I tried everything.
What are my options if they still can't fix it 2nd time? It's still under warranty (for another month).
Thanks.

Problem solved!!!!!!
I have a Note 2. The GPS did not work. No white circle on the status bar when GPS is turned on and it did not pick up any satellite. I tried everything including factory reset, restore OEM ROM from sammobile and nothing worked. I sent it back to samsung. The 1st time they updated some sw and sent it back to me. Nothing changed. Not working. I sent it back the 2nd time. they replaced some power management chips. I got it this morning and it did not work either. I called Samsung again and they remotely accessed my Note 2 and they couldn't figure out so they asked me to send it back the 3rd time. Before I sent it back, I followed a reply here on xda using the diagnostic code *#197328640# :
mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>Restore NV Default
I selected it, it restored the NV from default and it rebooted by itself. When it came back, everything worked!!!!!
Before I tried this, I was l already on the phone with Samsung tech support for 2 hours and they even remotely access my Note 2 and they could not figure it out!!!
My gps through Google maps worked perfectly on 4.1.2. Then I stupidly updated to 4.3 and every since I can not get the gps to work. I can us maps fine, but when I turn gps on it puts me in the area I'm at but it shows the arrow off of the map and facing in the wrong direction. I even rooted and I am on a stock ish rom and still the same thing. I only rooted so I could change told because I need the help for work in March. Not sure what to do from here. Any ideas? I don't want to spent the $$ to buy a new phone before I'm sure for an upgrade unless I have to.

I have found the first real issue with the M8.
The GPS fails during navigation and cannot get proper lock. That meant it kept trying to recalculate routes etc...
My friends have also had same issue.
Location settings were set on the best option too. Full mobile signal and internet as well.

Google navigation and TomTom both failed on different M8s.
It works for a bit, but when it goes wrong you will know about it.
I am hoping only software, but I have no idea of issues or how to fix it.
If you are rooted or unlocked, try this GPS config ... its for quick good AGPS lock before actual GPS one.

I'm not adversed to anythng BUT I have just bought a £500 plus phone. I would rather not void a warranty yet.... also some of my apps won't work on a rooted device.
I have no problem on my phone. all is ok.
GPS has been the best I've ever experienced on a smartphone. Locks quickly and accurately and the only device ever to get a decent lock inside my concrete flat.
However, yesterday the GPS failed completely whilst driving with clear view of the sky. A reboot fixed it and it was then rock solid again.
That's the only time it's done it in about a week since owning it with about 20 hours driving with it.
I'm hoping that means it's a software issue somewhere.

Yep gonna agree works perfect with copilot. Also better than sygic imo. I also wouldn't bother with Google navigation. Better to use an offline satnav app.
I have this problem too... Doesn't seem to matter which app one are using, it also happens with my golf app... And the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone.. This is really annoying...
It seems to be related to bluetooth use... If I use BT to play music/listen to audiobook at the same time as I use the navigation app, then I have this problem.. If I turn off the BT, then the problem does not seem to appear... I am saying seem to, because it seems to be random when this occurs so not 100% sure that turning off BT fixes the problem but so far I have not had this problem when BT is off..
I also thought this was fixed in the latest update but yesterday it happend again....
