my buddy is in Wichita KS on T-Mobile and his phone keeps changing locations. Right now it thinks he is in Germany and the time and weather and everything changes with it. If you go to the gps app it is right but everything els thinks he is in Germany. I have always had HTC phones so I am at a loss on what he should do.
Please list the app that it works with, and the apps that it is not working with.
Well the whole phone thinks it's in Germany. The weather app that comes with it, the time on the notification bar just everything except Google maps. Google maps finds the right location.

I had a similar issue on a road trip, to Topeka last summer, with an Galaxy Exhibit running CM10 port, turned out to be the program not refreshing, changed the setting and it worked fine.

A few days ago my Facebook app was loading pages super slowly, taking a minute or more to even load them. This isn't unusual, as the Facebook app sucks. I normally just switch to the mobile site and carry on. The thing is, the mobile site is loading super slowly too, and not just that, if I use Opera and force load the full site, even THAT is super slow. This is the only website that I'm having any problems with at all and it's happening regardless of my current connectivity state (wifi, 3g and 4G - its not discriminating.) I've searched the web and not seeing anyone else have this issue and it's continued on a trip I just took from KY to Chicago so I am absolutely stumped. Everything else, including all other websites are working perfectly. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
I have the same issues. I can't even post a status from the app. More than likely it has to do with the roll out of the timeline profile. Its slowing don't their servers

Still having the same issue. Not happening to my girlfriend on the mobile or my work partner on sprint. Any suggestions?
Was having thisenissues until last night. Everything is now working at a normal speed although notifications are still not working for me (since 182 update)
force stop the app then restart the app this normally works
It's just the app. I'm on my home Wi-Fi and it hasn't gotten any faster. Never expect good things from Facebook. Period.

Every so often when I run the Play Store it says "No connection". And as many times as I push the Retry button it says the same thing. Even if I force close the app
I kinda just have to wait a bit and it starts working again. I never lose network connection though. I'm betting its not actually an issue with Google's servers so I'm wondering if its an issue with my phone or setup
I'm running the latest stable aokp and Franco

What worked for me but still no explanation
I'm a lousy member on this Forum, 2 years or so and my first post
I had 2 Nexus Ones and both of them took a swim (literally)
Gave up used BB-Gun.
Anyhow, I just obtained MyTouch 4G Slide and encountered the same problem, this place here was the last that I looked for an answers..on low/mid end Forums I've found a lot of half answers for example,
"yeah it happens"
"power off and/or restart,,it worked for me" (it didn't work for me)
My observations, at the same time that connection with G Play don't work also Google Maps does't work..Reason? No Data connection.
All was fine until I installed G Voice (conflict/ bug?)
What I did, is the following I switched to Wi-Fi, and it worked, then i uninstalled G Voice.
And tried again but this time I was connected to Wi-Fi, installed G Voice and the same problem..turned off the Wi-Fi switched to regular connection and it worked.
I know that I didn't offer any explanation or fix for the problem but there is a pattern
Fixed it!
I have found the answer! Well, at least this was what was wrong with mine:
It was just that the date on my tablet had reset to 2010. Put it back to today's date and the Play store works perfectly now.
Hope that helps.

Worked like a dream. I installed jellybean ((cm10) i think)) and wanted to go backto my ice cream sandwich. When i did, play store and youtube didnt work. I guess google apps in general. If google made it it said no connection. I tried uninstalling the updates and reinstalling them to no avail. I searched and found this thread. My date changed when i restored my back up. I didnt even realize it till i read this thread. My years changed to 2005. Switched it back to 2012 and no problems. Network connection fine. Thanks alot.
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.

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.

I am not sure if everyone is having this defect with their phone. I hear some phones lock instantly on gps signal even indoors. Can you let me know what Rogers tells you after you call. Would be appreciated. Thank you.

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.
Anyone else having issues with Google maps not working properly. It is always showing me behind my actual location or going down a street or two over from where I actually am. Any fix out there for Google maps cause version 7 and 7.5 are not working at all.
When I revert back to version 6 it won't lock on to gps either. It must be my phone e then. Any fix out there?
Which ROM are you running? If you do, how often do you flash Roms. One thing I experienced from being a flashaholic is that after awhile it will poop your GPS. My fix is to return phone back to stock ROM, turn GPS on and go back into recovery and flash ROM of choice. If that's not your situation then you could try multiple GPS fix apps out there

I would say it's not a Google maps issue. As of two days ago I had a nexus 5 with the latest version of maps and I use it frequently without the slightest issue.
Then two days ago I got the note 3 and I notice that navigation is behind a lot. It's the phone not Google maps

I had the same annoying problem. The GPS would take a minute to lock, and would always think I'm a street or two over, and telling me to turn constantly. It annoyed the hell out of me. Strangely I flashed Willl03s CM11 rom and mine locks quickly now and is much more accurate. As earlier mentioned, I've had luck with using Odin and installing the stock rom too.

I am having this issue specifically with Google maps. I did thorough testing driving around tonight-- it does not happen with Waze. For me, the issue is not getting a lock-- it gets the location correct pretty quickly. The issue is that it stops updating maps (even though the phone is clearly getting current, accurate GPS data).
I was split-screening Google Maps and GPS Status. GPS Status updated location frequently and never showed an error range of above about 10-20m.
In Google Maps, the location sticks very frequently-- it will show me in the right location. Then it will stop updating my location (on the map) and catch up with me half-a-minute later or so. It does this same thing in any app that relies on Google maps, too.
Are you guys talking about driving around with google navigation or google maps? With google navigation it works flawlessly for me, if I drive around with google maps open it does tend to jump around for some reason. I dont understand why Navigation would be spot on but not maps.
use Waze

:-/ then I don't know, I remember having issues on my SGSIII and Waze was the best option...I'm using it now with my Note 3 and so far no complaints...
So just got my G2 the other day and noticed whenever im in LTE area my weather widget will not update and gps doesnt hardly work either. Also when using browser, at the bottom of google it will say location unknown. When i try to update my weather widget it will fail and pop up a black box at the bottom of screne saying location services temporarily unavailable. When i go out of LTE back into 3G all of those things work just fine. Gps locates fast, weather widget updates, and in google it will show my precise location. Told sprint about this, guy at store gave me a new phone thinking it was a problem with the phone. Got the new phone home into LTE and exact same issue. 3G everything is fine. Called sprint dude and he told me i would have to call tech support. So, im wondering if this has happened to anyone else and is there a fix. Really dont know what else to do and really dont feal like dealing with sprint doofs not understanding what im talking about asking me if ive turned on location access. Lol. Ive seen posts about dialer codes and all that but am too nervous to mess something up when i dont quite understand what the issue could even be. So im calling tech support right now. You guys! Lol. Any help would be great. Thanks
