Hi, recently I found the GPS on my Galaxy Nexus refuse to lock properly.
I used maps for years, and the locating seems good enough (it seems that these locations are from wifi or other source now).
Recently I installed an app to track my route, which really needs true GPS, and the problem began.
Every morning, when I go from my home to work, the GPS just not work at all (no lock). Sometimes it works when I leave home, but minutes later, it lost lock and never gets back during the whole route (even after I reboot the phone and clear the AGPS data with GPS Test). After I got to the workplace, and tried again, the GPS is still not working.
What's surprising me is the GPS works fine when I leave from my work pace and head to my home in the afternoon. It locks fast and works well all the way. (This is the same route in the morning)
The same problem happens for several days (bad in the morning, good in the afternoon).
With GPS Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest), I notice the phone really gets a lot of satellites(>9) with good signals, but somehow none of them are used to calculate my location (they are all grey in GPS Test's satellite view).
Does anyone have any idea what's the problem and how to fix it?
The phone is stock android 4.3 unrooted.
Thanks.
The attached file is the screenshot of GPS Test this morning.

PS. the gps works great at noon, have no idea why it refuse to work every morning.
I have a similar problem, when I leave work from a particular exit my gps doesn't find anything for quite a while, where as if I leave from another it gets it straight away.
The only thing I can think of is there are lots of buildings and roofs around that first exit, where as the second one is straight into a carpark. Maybe there is too much interference when you leave home, but not work?

The thing is when I leave home at night, the GPS works well, but not in the morning. On the other hand, when I arrival at work, the GPS still not working, but it works at noon.
I try to figure if the timing is the problem. For example, if much more interference in the morning or the satellites decide not to communicate with me at that time?
As you can see in my attachment, it actually found a lot of satellites, but no data received from any of them. Don't know why, and never noticed before.

Have you checked/changed the server you use for gps? I had to change mine from US to oceania (depends where you are) at one point and that seemed to help

Great idea, I never would have thought of that on my own! I normally use FasterFix from the Play Store to set the GPS server to US. After the first day, locks were very slow and inacurate, and by the second day, I stopped getting locks altogether. I tried flashing back to stock, still didnt work. Then i came across your post, and after setting it to Oceania, I got a lock in under 10 seconds. Many thanks!

Hello stranger,
I signed up to this forum just to reply to your post. I recently installed Paranoid Android 4.4 (final build) on my Gnex and GPS was not working at all (would show 0/0 satellites, sometimes 1 or 2, but NEVER lock). Where as previously on PA-3.99 it was fine. After scouring the internet for the last two days and trying anything that didn't involve me wiping, reflashing, etc. your post single handedly saved me from doing any of the extreme measures. I just went to download faster fix, but then stumbled upon fasterGPS. This app, using lovely root access (yay root!), allowed me to set my NTP to North America and then Canada. Now my GPS works perfectly! Thank you again so much!

I've searched the far corners of the internet for how to get the retrieve location by sms functioning in Tasker. I've downloaded and applied both locate by sms profiles (locateme and locate by sms) from the Tasker wiki, neither work. I receive a return message with a link but the link takes me to a generic page in "Google-Places". I've also tried to use a separate profile to lock gps, as was suggested in some threads on other sites. I bring this directly to the Epic forum to see if any Epic owners have gotten a Locate by SMS Tasker profile to work. If you have gotten it to work would you post your context and tasks w/ variables. Thanks a ton to anyone who helps. This has been plaguing me since I bought the app.

I'm a Tasker power-user, (I posted the Weather-adaptive alarm clock on the wiki), and I've been meaning to work on my "SOS" profile that alarms, vibrates (an SOS in Morse code, no less), flashes the LED, snaps and uploads pictures, redirects outgoing calls to my Google Voice number, and, of course, returns GPS coordinates. So far it does everything except upload photos and return GPS (kind of important!) If I've got some spare time this afternoon (gf is on my case to clean the house) then I'll see if I can get it to work.
EDIT - Okay, so what's been causing problems thus far is the sheer amount of time it's taking my Epic to acquire a GPS lock. It's just timing out constantly. How do you get a GPS location from a phone that refuses to achieve a lock?!
Thanks for the assistance. You probably already know about the timeout adjustments for gps etc. I will see if I can get a lock through gmaps or gizmo and then send the sms code. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Yeah... maybe I'm just having bad luck or whatever but my GPS just isn't locking at all. I send the SMS, my GPS flicks on, and it tries to get a location, but no dice. I've maxed Tasker out at 240 seconds but it wouldn't make a difference if it was 1000 seconds at this point. I can't get a lock at all. I'm going to try a few things to see if I can get it to cooperate. I'm getting the return SMS but all I get is %LOC instead of the GPS coordinates, and looking at Google Maps it's easy to tell why; I've got a GPS ring with a radius of over a mile circling my position.
im trying to get it working too, it all works except for when i get the coordinates it says im buy nigeria in a ocean................any thoughts?
For whatever reason I just tested it after getting a lock and it sent back coordinates. I know the gps cache is messed up. Is that why I can always get a lock at/near school but never at home? I'm near school right now and used the profile located on the wiki. Battery % did not work however. Oh well, glad to finally see some progress. Should I have problems with getting a gps lock 10miles from my school?

Good to see you're making progress. After nearly 3 days with absolutely no GPS lock on my phone, I've reflashed and got GPS functioning again. Going to retest my Tasker profile as soon as Titanium Backup is done restoring my apps.

Obviously it thinks you're at latitude and longitude coordinates 0,0. I'll post up a new profile with a different way of pulling up the phone's location in Google Maps; I don't like the way they did it in that profile, not how I would have done.
I must apologize, I did not use a wiki profile. I used a profile that references a separate profile to establish a lock. I figured out why I cannot get a lock at home. I use a femtocell and its gps is terrible (off by a couple hundered miles) and when aGPS tries to aid in locate the nearest satellites they are way off.
For those that may still be having trouble.
Create profile w/ Name: GetGPS and Context: Location (doesn't matter where you are)
Task "Stop"
done
Create profile w/ Context "Received Text" (whatever you want)
Create Task with this
1)GPS On
2)Wifi On
3)Profile Status Name:GetGPS Set:On
4)Wait 3min.
5)Send SMS Number: %SMSRF
6)GPS Off
Did this and it worked, away from home that is.

i just remember the gps on my epic sucks. its off by a few miles when i use google maps. is there a fix for this? ive read this is a kwn issue for the epic. thx
so what server address does that use to get gps ?
I'm not sure but I believe Tasker uses Gmaps for its positioning. When you set up the GetGps profile that it references, the map looks identical.

So what's the adress? Don't I need to type it in the new profile ??
No the way the second profile references the first there is no web address needed. It gets a lock and automatically populates the location variable then the second profile references the first (location variable) and replies to the text accordingly. It is the first time I've gotten it to work. Hope it helps.

Hi,
Maps appears always in the battery stats. I don't use Maps. I don't have GPS enabled (I enable it only when I use navigation software; not maps). Location services are always disabled.
When I force stop Maps, this app start itself automatically (right after stopping; sometimes afte some time).
How should I stop it permanently. It drains battery not that much.. but still would like to save some percent.
Thanks!!

I believe you can disable it, if you dont like/have that option you can freeze it with Tibu.
Edit: Strange though it doesn't ever show in my bat stats. Are you using Latitude? I guess it could be showing because of Navigation.
I noticed my g-maps kept showing up in recent apps, and it turned out that it was because of an updated. Once I went into maps, and saw the "new features" page, it hasn't done it since.
Probably not related, but figured I'd throw it out there.
I agree with the Pirate; seems like latitude is signed in.
Thanks. I did following:
- started maps and 'accepted' new features.
- signed out from latitude. Yes.. seems that it was signed in all the time
Will report later if the maps will appear or not in battery stats again.
Thanks!!!

For sure signing out of latitude will save you some juice!
I have issues with google maps.
Version 6.3
Gps and location disabled not signed to latitude. But still have 3 google map service running. Quite annoying.
from what I've read around the internet, this is a problem across devices.
I don't use Latitude (never have), and have turned off location services. But Maps is still a persistently active service/process. I posted on a Google board, so hopefully they will reply.
Maybe the operative question is: who isn't experiencing this issue? Maybe we can figure out why.
Maps is always running for me too, but it is never using enough battery to even be on the battery usage statistics. I rarely see it in the recent apps list either.
I went a few days disabling Maps and noticed absolutely no difference in battery either. I'm perfectly OK with it running and taking up 9.3mb of RAM.

Well i never have maps show up in my battery list, nor in system panel list. But i do see maps running in my settings app menu, 1 service and 1 process. So never seems to use any resources for me.
Google needs to fix this...can't really do anything to remedy this besides freezing or disabling the package when you are not planning to use it.
I've noticed considerably increased battery life with the apk frozen...even with latitude off and location updating disabled Maps causes some battery drain.
Clear data is a solution . . . sort of!
By clearing the data of the maps (in the application manager), you can have the Google maps drop off from your running app list.
But, all the setup/data in the Google maps will be lost by doing so !
so, this is a solution if you don't care the setup / cached data.
I have a Captivate with rooted stock Gingerbread. I have to kill Maps ever so often when it shows up. It's always low double digits percentage of battery usage for me.
No latitudes (Join Latitudes shows up in Maps->More). GPS not enabled.
I allways unninstall it as i dont need it, but i do want it but will wait till they fix it. For me the best map and gps is me ( roll down the window and ask for directions)

Sorry for the near-necropost, but I'm coming at a similar issue, from a slightly different angle, and wanted to scope out any thoughts anyone might have here instead of opening a new thread.
My issue with Maps constantly running is no as focussed on the battery life issue, but rather privacy. I run LBE (basically a selective App permission firewall) and one of the features of this program is the ability to Allow/Prompt/Deny certain application privileges. Well, I set it to prompt me to allow Maps to obtain my location, thinking that it would be only a minimal annoyance since I only use Maps once or twice a week.
Think again. Did you know that while Maps sits there, open, in the background, it checks your location constantly? (well, once every half our or so). I finally set LBE to allow maps to get my location without prompting me, but LBE still flashes a notification bar alert to let me know when an app has requested something like my location. Sure enough, every half hour or so, Maps asks for my location, regardless of how long (measuring even into the days) it has been since I have actually used the app. I don't have Latitude running.
This cannot possibly be something that everyone else is just cool with?
Please tell me this isn't just an accepted evil without a solution?
Root and delete maps from /system/app. do t hardly use it anyways. There is also an older version somewhere that doesn't run in the background and you can actually stop.

Google Maps is running for the network location... barely uses any battery life (having your screen on for a minute will use more battery life) and will not slow down your phone. You guys are freaking out over nothing

No, that's not the case, or at least that's not the behavior that I am referring to.
Looking at the event log in LBE, there are actually two things that Maps is doing at regular intervals in the background:
"Track Your Position"
"Obtain Your Current Position"
That's how it is worded. I'll also add that I have experienced other apps where LBE asks me whether I'll grant permission to obtain my "Network Location". That is a distinct permission (at least as far as LBE categorizes them), and is not what I'm concerned about with Maps.
Regarding the suggestion of uninstalling Maps, I still use it, as mentioned, once or twice a week.
Google tells us that to check the "use location data" means background location data will be sent. Weird thing is practically everyone has a blind spot for it - the old not-reading-the-EULA problem perhaps...
I personally think the info could be of interest for population densities, average distance travelled per day, literally where people go and when. With the obvious proviso that none of it is personally identifiable. Just aggregates...
Google is actually sitting on a goldmine of info, but realistically it will be parlayed into advertising profitability.
To be more precise: "Allow Google's location service to collect anonymous location data... ...Collection may occur even when no apps are running."

The GPS will eventually began to fuction like a application failing sometimes.. Hopefully they switch back to the option of just checking the box for using Cell Towers for location or GPS Satelites like in previous ANDROID Phones..
I didn't experience any of this... where I am right now I have really poor connection so GPS lock on will be impossible, when I get home I'll tell you again but I don't seem to have this problem ..

Holy run-on sentence, Batman!
Anyway, a lot of Android devices have had GPS troubles the last couple of days. I believe it was attributed to something out of our control (solar flares or something).
Hence, removing AGPS didn't allow for standalone to lock on...

I am not sure that I understand your point that GPS isn't working properly because Google wants to track us as much as possible. Wouldn't that mean Google would make sure your GPS locks in accurately every single time for better tracking?
Um... My gps is fine when I tested it yesterday.

ah sry forgot to actually contribute: no, best1923. you're wrong.
I wish I was important enough or interesting enough for Google to care where I was, or what I was doing. It is easy to get your mind set on some conspiracy theory, but quite frankly Google couldn't care less about us. The only thing that matters is that we keep buying there products and using there services.

Never had a problem with my GPS on 4.1.1 Locks in 5 seconds... the Accuracy takes longer inside -> starts at 10m and goes to 5m in about 10 seconds, but immediately goes to 5m if I'm outside (cool animation of the radius circle too).
All in all very happy with the GPS as it stands now... it never bounces either like it used to in 4.0.2 and 4.0.4.
So whatever, if anything, google did to improve its accuracy, I'm all for it.

Stock Sprint Optimus G. Updated to latest ZV9 firmware. Performance tweeks and new kernals are great and all, but the core functionality of the phone is still broken. The exchange email is inexcusable. A smartphone is designed as a personal assistant and organizer first before media or anything else.
The Bluetooth issue is embarrassing. I am using LG Tone+ 730's which shouldn't have any issue from the same manufacturer. My Jeep uses a base Uconnect 130s/RES system that is in numerous Chrysler vehicles and doesn't have the same issues with other devices like the Galaxy S3 or EVO LTE that I have previously used.
I know the dev community can't wave their hands and make it work, especially on a not rooted phone. But anyone have a clue how to push this up to LG outside of their awful support site?
Bump, recently moved thread.
What Bluetooth issue do you have and I don't use exchange so I wouldn't know anything about that issue
You bump your own 2 week old thread for issues that people apparently don't have. I know I sure don't. Of course I don't use Exchange and my bluetooth works fine

ZV9 fixed my Exchange issue, although it was not a connectivity issue. Are you sure your credentials are correct? SSL vs non-SSL? Tried on mobile network instead of wifi?
I use the same LG Tone and have 0 issues. And know customers that use exchange and have no issues. Are you sure its not the credentials?

RE: Bluetooth, I believe the OP is referring to the fact that this phone will randomly disconnect from a connected bluetooth device. I have two devices I regularly connect to, my car and my home phone system. The phone connects and remains connected to my car. However, it WILL disconnect from the home phone either randomly, or as soon as I try using the home phone to make or receive a linked call. The second image in the OP's post shows the message that comes up on the phone. It can't entirely be the fault of the connected home phone system because I used to connect my Optimus S to the system perfectly every time and never ever dropped a connection. The OG drops the connection to the home system without fail every single time. If I recall, it sometimes worked on ZV7 but never on 8 or 9.

Thank you, THIS.
Instead of shook's dumb response. My screen caps aren't random. And I'm not the only person having these issues. There are actually numerous mixed threads floating around the general forum or elsewhere. I repeat, the core functionality of this phone is not stable.
I exchanged my phone and started getting the issue shown in screen shots by OP. Spent all week trying to resolve the problem just to find out that my work exchange server had updated security and only allowed ten devices to be connected. It did not remove my old devices from the list and so I had maxed my limit. The old device remove process is in the outlook web client only under web mobile options. MS Outlook did not give me any similar options.
Anyways, the point I am trying to make is it may be related to your exchange server. Have you looked into that?

RE: Bluetooth, I believe the OP is referring to the fact that this phone will randomly disconnect from a connected bluetooth device. I have two devices I regularly connect to, my car and my home phone system. The phone connects and remains connected to my car. However, it WILL disconnect from the home phone either randomly, or as soon as I try using the home phone to make or receive a linked call. The second image in the OP's post shows the message that comes up on the phone. It can't entirely be the fault of the connected home phone system because I used to connect my Optimus S to the system perfectly every time and never ever dropped a connection. The OG drops the connection to the home system without fail every single time. If I recall, it sometimes worked on ZV7 but never on 8 or 9.

I was aware of the ten device outlook limitation. But I only have two devices registered currently. I have appropriately set up everything, the phone is just no good.
Maybe I'm in the wrong discussion area, Admin move if so. Thanks!
Am I taking crazy pills or am I the only one that finds the Pixel 6P glitchy AF/ Not that great? I keep seeing ya'll post best phone ever.
Background:
I've had PXL-P4XL, Skipped 5G for OP8 Pro and Now back to P6 Pro.
Quick Reference:
Fwding a URL to someone in messages, it'll pull up messages but the text box is blank so have to go back to browser copy URL then go to messages and post. Same with sending a picture from gallery blank in messages. (Maybe messages issue?)
Then NONE of the Smart Lock features work. I use my watch as Trusted Device doesn't work.
Tried Trusted places (which I don't use) just to see if that worked Nope.
Tested On Body as well works sometimes.
Then Bluetooth for car. Getting into car bluetooth takes about 50 second to connect. (yes tested with other devices instant pick up)
Ironically enough the fingerprint reader actually ISN'T that bad for me WHEN it pulls up. BUT where I do have the problem is the Security Pin. Man I'll put my Lock PIN in about 3 times on average before it lets me in. Same code over and over. I have had it up to 6 times before. Even doing it super slow.
Even just now tried to open Bank Of America App fingerprint popped up and kept putting finger on it and not even a vibrate of miss recognize. Had to turn screen off / on put code in and reopen app.
I'll finish it with the 5G UC "TMO" (non mmw). Is horrible. I think the 4G in my P4XL was faster...

There's something wrong with your phone. Period.

No, just you bro. As a matter of fact, not one single problem you said.
I'm not even going to try to change your mind. If you're unhappy with the phone I suggest you return it, or sell it if past the return period
Wait for an update?
Have a couple of those issues. Blank message after sharing or copying url. Smart lock works for trusted location but not trusted device. Had to pair my 2020 Ram 8 times in last 3 days. TMO 5G UC is fast here for me but the handoffs between LTE and 5G are horrible. Folks that have no issues, enjoy your phone. For me this will probably be traded in for someone else down the road. This has been the worst Google phone for me of the 4 that I have owned.
Not my duty or anyone else in this forum to change your mind. If you don't like it, great. Just find a phone that you like, search Google issue trackers, maybe RMA, or simply pose the question.
That said...
Smart lock had been working fine for me as does url forwarding.
Fingerprint is also fine along with the occasional "additional security" message when I have to enter my pin, which takes the first time.
Bluetooth takes about 20 secs to connect on a cold start on my F-Pace and almost instantaneous if I was just in it a few minutes ago. Same for my I-Pace.
No Bank of America fingerprint issues here.
Only thing for me is the occasional signal issues that didn't happen on my Pixel 5. Hopefully that'll be fixed with an update.
Definite case of user error here I have none of the issues you mentioned plus my pixel 6 pro is really fast on 5G

I don't have any of those issues on my 6 Pro and 5G UC has been super fast in my area.
Also glad I'm not seeing those issues. Updates should be incoming Monday to solidify our Pixel 6 Pro! Cheers
Probably a redundant answer, but you may want to reset to factory settings. I've read in Reddit that bugs may be caused by Google direct transfer feature via USB in case you've used just that.
