I don't expect a fix but just found on the last few rom versions released that although the hotspot will work, if the mobile data connection is lost the phone will reboot . when on the train I noticed it happened in the same places on the route. I replicated the problem by manually turning data off.
The gps seems to work great, but only for about 1 - 5 minutes before loosing signal and not finding it again unless I turn it off and on again.
It's such a shame as I love the rom and way ics works over hc.
I had to post here due to under 10 posts so far...
Great work and kudos to all the developers producing ROMS

Just flash new 8.3, and if your phone randomly freezes use BFS kernel instead.

I haven't flashed 8.3 yet. For 8.2, there is a known workaround for GPS fix. Assuming you are using Naviagation, once you get a GPS fix, turn the GPS off manually while you are still in that app. Now, turn it on again. GPS fix should stay on just fine.

Same GPS problem loosing lock after approx 5 min with Ice Cold Sandwich 8.4 using Google navigator. Turning gps off/on does not fix but having a background process like Trapster keeps the gps lock active.
Try "Wireless Tether for Root Users" from google play store, wifi tethering should work with this app
First, thanks to everyone who has made tolte based AOSP roms so amazing. I have been using them as a daily drivers since 4.1.1 and have seen how quickly they have stabilized. Nice work! I have one remaining issue that someone can hopefully help me out with.
I cannot get a gps lock when connected to LTE. As soon as I enter LTE coverage it loses the lock and searches until I re-enter 3G.
I have tried several AOSP ROM variations (clean flashes), different modems (currently on MA7) and different Network modes with no luck. I currently work around this issue when I need a GPS lock by Setting the Network mode to CDMA / Evdo, and Airplane Mode On/Off, forcing me to stay in 3G/1X. Sprint is finally rolling more 4G out here in Baltimore and would like to take advantage of it.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having/not having this issue? I have captured logcats both entering and leaving LTE. The results are way over my head, but can PM them if they might help.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
I know all about the 4g growing in Baltimore. Unfortunately, I am kind of fond of the tw based roms and can't answer the question in full for you...
However, no gps fix on lte.... hmm... I'm going to have to think on that one...
You had pretty much answered everything I would have asked, and I know this might sound like a pain but does it work ok on a tw based Rom?

TirithXiato, thanks for the reply.
I haven't tried Twiz in awhile, mainly because i like PA and Xposed per app dpi. It used to work on mine and still works on my wife's stock note 2.
I have looked all over for someone having the same problem and at known issue logs... but nothing.
I'll try Twiz again and see if it's something with the phone.
Meanwhile is this working for anyone?

As I said, I'm in the Baltimore area and haven't had a problem. I am on stock ma7 deodexed though... I like the stock s pen apps and xposed works lovely for me...
I'd give it a try, if it still fails on a tw Rom, I'd say it's probably something hardware related

Did anyone solve this problem?? I am having the same issue here.
Gps doesn't get lock on lte. It gets locked just fine on 3g tho.
I'm using Minitab rom.
Tried this lil trick yet? Worked for me when I couldn't get a GPS lock at all, although in my area its all LTE, so hopefully it'll work if you haven't gone this route already.
1. Nandroid your rom.
2. Download a TW ROM, I used Lab Rats.
3. Flash the TW ROM, get a lock (and stay where ever it is you got the lock)
4. Restore your aosp ROM
5. Profit
If it doesn't work you may just need to do all the afore mentioned steps up to step 3, but then reflashing your aosp ROM. I know, I know, a pain in the @$$, but if you want your GPS working properly then you might wanna give it a go. And hey, if it doesn't work you have you Nandroid. Hope this helps.
I know this is an old thread, but maybe this will help someone in the future if they Google search (that's how I found this while looking for a solution). This advice worked for me:
Use root browser to edit the last line in
/etc/gps.conf
The last line will be
LPP_PROFILE=0
Change the 0 to 3. Save and exit.
^thanks. Helped me!
for you GPS works in Europe on jelly bean roms?
Yes ?
No ?
I tried all kind of solutions, programs, change gps.conf and sirfgps.. but nothing works for me. I´m from Spain. I have read other guys from Europe have same problem, so i want to know that this problem is only for us, and if there is a solution, on new roms like the spyke555´s rom.
My GPS only find 1 satellite on my actual rom rootbox android 4.1.2 and I used all android 4.2.2 roms, with the same problem too.
Thanks

no, never. And waiting more than 30 minutes..
gps doesnt work here with stock rom either.
I've tried many gps patch, but still nothing.
on stock rom I never got a lock, neither on rootbox(I also tried to edit the gps. conf and those stuffs, but nothing helped) , but with cm10 and cm10.1 it locks in seconds if I'm on the street, however it shows that only 2 sattelites can be seen. But my position is accurate

it works when disabled as well, yes
I mean it's on in the settings, but if I turn wifi off, it works well. However mobile data needs to be on. without that I cant get a lock

I think 3 sats are needed to work gps, I think your device use wifi to get your location, try to disable, and it wont work IMHO.

you're wrong, it locks up quickly without wifi and I can use it (sygic) for navigation as well. However as you can see it shows only 2 sattelites
mine works only when wifi enable, mine sees 2 sats sometime, but still no position. When I enable wifi location ( without wifi enable) it shows instantly my current location.

Same here. And I can't understand how can get lock with 2 sats only, if 3 are needed.
Which rom you use, bubor?
and you, soadzoor? which rom, kernel and base band do you use please?

cm10.1-m3, litekernel, i927RUXKJ5 baseband.
You need 4 sats to get position, even in 2dimension (plane) you need distance from 3 points, because 2 cycle will have 2 intersection.
please european guys, respond the cuestion, only that way can find a solution together..
bubor, you think the problem is caused by the kernel or the rom?? or maybe our devices are defective? :crying:

I'm using this spyke's guy cm rom with the kernel from kick buckowsky's pacman thread. But before I flashed that it worked with the original (lite) kernel. Again, it worked with the old dman's cm rom, but not with rootbox and never with any stock rom (ics nor gb). Modifying the surfgps and gps.conf has never really helped.
Sometimes (its really not typical) I simply dont get a lock now either, but after a reboot it works fine.(be sure to test it outdoors, under a roof it's really weak). I use sygic for navigation (it has downloadable offline maps) and I live in hungary, but when I was in Prague, it worked there well,too. Mobile data needs to be on, and those ticks that I posted before.
I hope you'll get the gps working I know how annoying a useless gps is.
well i´ve just tested the rom PACMAN by kick buttowski, and for me gps works on it, but reports only 2 sats. I know that it is a cm 10.1 issue, which i don´t know if spyke is working on in his rom or not??. While i´ll wait for the spyke´s new kernel cause litekernel I think is draining the battery so much for my daily use.
So I gather the rom is what causes the gps problem? my phone is healthy uuffff :victory:
mine works only with "wifi and mobile network location" checked, and it shows my location very fast, so I'm happy with that.
I have no clue what needs for "mobile network location", but it does its job well, since I see maximum 2 sats, while I have my position.

Seeing 2 satellites is part of a bug. The NEMA messages, raw satellite data, aren't coming out of the driver properly in the latest build. So your software will always show that there are 2 satellites. That's incorrect.
Wifi location works because the GPS coordinates of the MAC addresses of nearby base-stations are known. When people have this feature enabled, the phone will silently upload MAC addresses and lat/long. It also uses cell tower triangulation (this was how the first google maps worked before common phones had GPS in the old blackberry days.)
You'll notice if you ever move (from one house to another) it will take Goog a while to figure out that your home wifi base station has new GPS coordinates.
If you're out in the middle of nowhere, you won't be able to get any kind of lock like this.
But, I'm fairly certain while these roms are not reporting correct NEMA, they are actually getting a real GPS lock.
In other words, software that asks the API "What's my lat/long and accuracy?" will get a valid answer.
Software that asks the API for "exact, raw satellite data, I'll figure it out myself" gets garbage.
It works for me (Italy).
I still have the 2 sats bug but it seems i get a lock in 30 secs.
I even tried with no wifi and no data connection: same result. I got a lock in 30 seconds.
I havent tried a navigation tho.
Hi guys, I'm in the u.k, and as far as I'm aware, the only person in the country with one of these phones!
But,, gps works fine for me.
The phone can see 12 satalites, and have a lock on 9 of them, giving me an accuracy of 16 feet.
Only problem is I don't know what rom I'm on as the chap rooted it for me before I got it sendt over.
I have no bugs in the rom that I've ever noticed, its 4.0.4 but that's all I know, anyone know how I can find out?
I'm guessing its stock ics, and as no other roms seem to be stable or ever finised, there doesn't seem to be any point in flashing anything else, accept maybee the litekernal which is the only stable one I could find.. but since I don't know what rom I'm running, I can't tell if the kernal will work, unless anyone else knows?
I've got a low post count but wanted to weigh-in on the current version of the Sense 5 rom.
I'm using T-Mobile, so not sure if my issues are related to my carrier or not...
1) Bluetooth isn't working. Turning it on does not result in anything...it goes fro turning on to off. Assuming it's the HTC One S ril that the rom is based on casuing this problem.
2) HTC Messages (the stock messenger) will not let me click a link in the message. If someone send me a text with an external link, and I go to click it, it causes Messages to force quit. I can use 3rd part apps and it works fine. Just an FYI...
3) HTC Locations doesn't work but I believe that is a Sense 4/ Sense 5 issue.
Everything else seems to be working. I am using this as my daily rom and haven't had any troubles (besides the ones mentioned above).
Thank you to everyone working on this!

when I used it the dailer would freeze and fc and data wouldnt stay on 4g or h
More insights:
Camera works but the facial recognition seems to be wonkey. I've turned it off so as not to see it jumping around like crazy.
Video...not sure if this is working. I do know that it comes on and the camera crashes and I have to restart.
FM radio...not a deal-breaker, but if I stick a pair of headphones in - the tuner never lets go and stations can't be tuned in.
GPS...saw that was one of the 'not working' apps. I don't really use it for navigation...as long as you've got wifi it seems to be able to locate but driving with it is impossible as it doesn't seem to know where you or or lock your position in.
I've been using this since JMZ updated the last version (so 2 weeks?). Haven't had a problem. And none of these, for me, make this rom unusable...it would just be nice to have a fully working one with Sense 5.
I will work on it some more when I get my oc back as my desktop is old and slow.
