Anyone else having issues with GPS in NYC? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I haven't been able to get a gps lock since yesterday after using navigation on my phone. Any time I open an app that uses location services gps will kick in and will stay stuck on searching for location
Not sure if this is a widespread issue or something wrong with my phone

I guess the weather doesn't help things

I'll assume with all that went down there could be extra cell usage and cell towers not functioning. Cellphone GPS does use the cell towers for location.

What's wrong with turning gps off if you're not using it?

I would like to know which app is causing it to stay on
More than likely its BC you have it set for GPS to automatically detect your location...

Do you have a weather widget or something?

[Q]CM7 geolocation issue

Hey all. So I live in Milford CT, yet no matter what I do, the location features of this phone continue to put me in Mastic, NY. When I use my GPS on Maps, everything is fine. But all of the apps and websites (Google, Facebook, Beautiful Widgets, etc...) keep determining my location incorrectly. I searched on Google and out here, but not having any luck. Any thoughts? Anyone else found a fix for this, outside of manually setting location?

Really weird Data/Voice problem

My phone came up with two triangles with exclamation points on it in the notification bar. One said data access restricted and the other one said voice access restricted. My phone was fine and when I got out of the shower those notifications were there. So, after that my voice and data would not work. I rebooted and voice came back, but data is gone. I cant connect to 4g/3g or anything. My IMEI is there still. I didnt flash anything. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

Is your phone roaming maybe?

I'm not sure. I know under data it just said disconnected. It didn't say roaming. Btw I'm talking about using the phone info app to see status. My voice showed bars, but when I tried to make a call it said not registered on network. I rebooted and moved my phone to a good reception spot and data is working. So strange. Does this phone say when it roams?

It should.
Also, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks and check data roaming. If it happens again it should definitely tell you.
Make sure your plan covers nationwide roaming so you dont accidentally get charged.

GPS always on even when not connected to any network?

I've seen a thread before of a hack that allowed a phone to connect to the satellites even when not connected to a network.. if anyone has the link to the thread or knows the process can u please share...
I've searched a lot but just come up with people complaing about not connecting to network.. thanks in advance

Network is not required to use GPS. It is just one of your app using GPS to determine ur position such as weather app, map etc

Mobile data cutting off and cannot connect to LTE

So the past couple days my mobile connection is being cut off, for around 30-45 seconds every 10ish minutes. It comes back on its own but it's getting kind of annoying.
Also, my mom and brother have gotten lte on their phones which made its appearance yesterday for the first time in my neighborhood, and I have yet to get it, we live in the same house. You think maybe these have something to do with each other? On jelly bean running BlackJelly rom

Sounds unrelated, but does your GPS currently work? I had the same issue with data and LTE the other day and my GPS didn't work. But I've since been able to fix my GPS and that also fixed my data dropage (can't test LTE).

I opened up maps and gps is working fine, so is Google now. Is it possible that it's just a simple sim card issue?

It could be. It's more likely an issue with your APN. There's a specific one you have to use for LTE to work (under the assumption you're on ATT).
