[Q] Compass, GPS and Google Maps issue on Arco's ROMs - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Hi, I've been running Arco's cm-10-20130605 for about 3 months, but was forced to downgrade to his cm-9-20130730 recently.
The issue is with Google Maps. With CM10 I was getting really bad screen tearing and flashing while moving around the map,
especially with a menu overlay active. With GPS active and lock acquired in google maps it was a question of 10 seconds before
the whole phone crashed hard, rebooting into battery at 6% (unusable). Battery level recovers by itself completely afterwards,
but it took it about an hour, so I buckled and downgraded to CM9.
With CM9 I get no tearing/flashing issues, but the phone still keeps rebooting with GPS lock acquired in google maps.
My other issue with GPS is 'jerky' updates. It looks like updates are only sent every 2 seconds or so, that means no
smooth scrolling with navigation software and terrible lag rendering the whole thing unusable. Sometimes rebooting
the phone and closing all apps running in the background helps with the jerkiness, the lag is still there though, I don't
remember it being there on GB.
I also noticed the compass is by about 90 degrees off with CM10 and about 15 degrees off with CM9.
Any ideas how to fix these?

Increasing lag over time, background apps crashing and restarting?

I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.

I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.
Forgot to say I have a Galaxy S with CM 10.1
For me most of these issues go away once I set limit of background processes to 2. Even application install doesn't hand phone as before. OC also helps I guess.

[Q] VZW Gnex reboots randomly, a lot. Disabling location fixes?

Any idea why my replacement GNex reboots randomly, many times a day? It will be sitting in my pocket, screen off, and I will feel it vibrate. Look at the phone, it's at the Google logo rebooting. Also, if I'm outside on cell data, streaming music with the screen off, it will die in a few minutes.
I did some digging and someone said there is a location bug in 4.2.2, and it is causing certain GNexs to act like this. This morning I shut off all location services and disabled Google Now. My phone lasted the whole day without a single reset, and I was able to stream music.
Is anyone aware of a fix for this? It seems to be an issue on my phone in stock 4.2.2, stock+franco kernel, and CM 10.1.
Thanks!

[Q] S3 - Cyanogenmod 10.1.3-RC2-d2att - Using Google Maps causes major battery drain

I noticed lately that my battery has been draining quite a bit when using Google Maps for navigation. It's gotten to the point where 30 mins of continuous use for navigation has completely drained my battery. Now this has happened at least 5 times in the last few weeks now and it has rendered my phone completely useless for Navigation. I did have the Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 ROM installed but recently installed 10.1.3-RC2-d2att and the problem still seems to persist.
I've ready many posts talking about turning off GPS, Location Services etc. but I can't obviously turn off GPS when I need to use my phone for navigation. I also noticed that using a car charger didn't do much as the battery was draining much much faster then the battery was charging. Also , the phone seems to very very hot.
Same hear. I just moved from Rogers's stock image. Battery life on 10.1.3-RC2-d2att is terrible comparing to stock image.

go back to CM 10.1.2 Aka 4.2.2 plus you do know that you expect bugs and all kind of issues with nightlies, am not a fan of nightlies that for sure I PREFER STABLE AND NOT HAVING TO UPDATE OR FLASH A NEW ROM OR UPDATE EVERY SINGLE DAY........I HAVE TO MUCH IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP DELETING AND RESTORING AND I GOT BETTER THINGS THAN PLAY WITH ROMS ALL DAY
anywz try AOKP, CARBON OR PARANOID even Slim beam 4.3 nightlies and maybe you will get your problems fixed if it doesnt work it doesnt hurt or kill to go back to stock Touchwiz iknow yu can hate me forever but thats the last thing i wanna do before i give up it always fixes all the problems i get with custom roms

[Q] random reboot while using GPS for longer time

Can anyone confirm random phone reboots while using GPS for long time? I experience it regulary. After and hour and half or two hours of using GPS (either in car for navigation, charging/not charging) or on bike for tracking (screen off) with endomondo).
I'm going slightly mad because of this. I thought initially that the phone gets overheated with charger, but it reboots even with screen off, not charging). My other guess was the navigation application, but it happens also with sports trackers (endomondo, strava). So definitely it must be a problem of GPS driver or hardware. I tried various ROMs, CM10 or .211 or .96 ports, but it happens all the time.
Does anyone have more info or in the best case a solution for this? Thanks a lot!
I gave it some more thoughts. I use GPS Status with permanent notification with status details constantly being updated. I uninstalled it today, maybe this was the issue. Please, can anyone confirm that GPS Status is the cause of problems or that GPS Status is working fine even for few hours of gps activity? Thanks
same problem
Hi,
i have two xperia ion with the same problem. When i use GPS for tracking on my bicycle with locusmaps or oruxmaps it alway reboots after a while, it works maybe 30 minutes or one hour but then it reboots. The same with Navigon navigation, always reboot after about 30 minutes. Both smartphones the same problem. Running on Android 4.1.2, i downgraded the phone to ics 4.0.4 but the problem was still the same.
Did you solve that problem??
Thanks
Peter

Frequent "GPS Signal Lost"

So weird Issue.
Using Google Maps on MaximusHD 6 with the latest t-mo firmware (2.11) I get constant "GPS SIGNAL LOST" when obviously driving and using it as my nav since I got it. I'm in southern California with a pretty good LTE signal almost everywhere. The highways are pretty open so trees, mountains, buildings etc are ruled out as a probable cost.
Now today I noticed that I normally keep the phone locked/screen off when driving since it's connected over BT so there's no real need to look at it. During a normal 15-20min drive I would get the signal lost alert a lot. Upwards of 10 or so times on that single drive. While with my M8 it never happened especially when literally not 5min after getting out of the parking lot doing maybe 20mph down the street. I first I thought i messed something up since I took the phone apart to apply thermal paste to keep it from overheating.
However today on a drive back I kept the phone with the screen on. Never did it lose signal while the screen was on, but a minute after I locked the phone (screen off) did it lose GPS signal. I turned it back on and after driving 20min or so the signal wasn't lost.
So overall has anyone experience a similar issue? Full cellular coverage with frequent google maps alerts that the GPS signal was lost. Maybe a background gps process being killed or another coming up and hindering it.
Gonna wait for the Thanksgiving break to mess around with stock/custom roms and see if it's just something that can be fixed with a reflash.
I'm having the same issue, have you figured anything out? Have you tried using a different app besides google maps to see if it's the actual app doing it's power save feature, or the background powersaving process being started by the phone being screen off? Really interested because my phone starts burning up to extreme temps...
On the backup I had with the issue I narrowed It down to possibly a background process cutting it off once the screen turns back. Power saving was off and all that would stick while screen was off was maps, Google service, and social apps.
As for the cause I couldn't figure it out. I went with a stock from without issues. Then went back to custom roms and haven't had the issue again. Also I drastically lowered my app count. Barely use any apps not needed for basic functionality.
As for the temp issue you're having. I noticed gets warm just like any other device when using GPS. I have opened up the phone and applied a new thermal coat following off a thread around here.
I have another issue came up where the phone would seek out a GPS signal while battery saving was selected to even location turned off. Killed my battery in a heart beat. Hasn't happened again.
I would suggest you make a full backup and either flash a stock rom or redownload whatever custom rom your using. Do a trial run for a day or two with minimal apps and see if it improves.
Here's where it gets interesting..
I used to own a galaxy s3 i9300 and custom kernels caused exactly the same issue. Flashing a stock rom solved it and a few other issues, one in particular was gps inaccurate coordinates.
Now I have moved to an m9. This has in the past run great. It is completely stock and untouched by curious fingers.. However, recently my gps has been running at random intervals even though it is completely off in all accessable settings. I can't find the culprit and it sapped 40% in a few minutes. It was literally a short face to face conversation, jumped back in the car and went for my phone for waze.. Dead as a dodo..
Confuzzled completely as to whether this is the actual rom doing it or an app..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Android 6 should be released around here soon so maybe that'll improve/fix these issues. I wouldn't be surprised if Google services is causing this since it has in the past drained batteries and causes similar issues. If the kernel is involved then the issue has been seen on both stock and custom.
well it may be a setting from the maximums HD, try using other Rom and tell us if problem is solved, try HD Revolution or ViperOne.
Hi all, I got a Moto G3 and having issues with the gps no signal message, it is on and off, but more the time that have no signal. So have heard that Android 6 could be the guilty one.. Do any of you know if there is a fix yet? ?
