Hi,
I am on stock Kitkat and ever since the update, GPS has been behaving badly. GPS is showing a wrong location in google maps and also in whatsapp share location map. It was working well before the update. Anyone else facing this issue? How to solve this. I am on stock Kitkat and not rooted.
I had that issue with ingress, I flashed the latest g3 rom on the development section and the GPS is much better
Update: Infact, the GPS is not working at all. In the GPS option, if I select location based only on GPS signal, it didn't work in any GPS based apps. Tried a GPS test app too, no response. What should I do now?
Having the same issue here. Originally though it was the Google Maps app, but the GPS Test app fails to acquire satellites and shows status as "No fix".

Then make sure that the highest accuracy mode is selected
This worked for me after having the issue that kept saying waiting for location when trying to pinpoint my current location.

I was having an error where wifi calling suddenly decided to not work after a couple of months. Also, at the same time my app updates stopped working. After using my google machine for a few minutes, it told me I have to change my 911 address on the t-mo site. I changed it to the nearest business to my house as directed by google machine. Problem fixed instantly. This has something to do with big brother requiring more accurate 911 addresses or something, and the address has to be "recognized" somehow and apparently business address are more recognizable.
The error I saw was this: "W006.15 ISP or T-Mobile Network Error". Also, something about how I have to register to the network then the wifi app would crash when I tried to connect. On the app updates, it would download the app. Then instead of going to install it would appear to try and re-download the app and then crash with the notification of error downloading update.
Anyway, hopefully this saves somebody else some time.
Decided to turn on Wifi calling today and saw it was not working. Getting the same error. I tried this, clearing the app data, removed battery and sim but it still is not working. Been looking around and see that many people are having this problem. Hope it gets fixed soon...
Need to make sure you'd wifi is sending information because sometimes your gateway or router would take a "break" and not found anything. So try to restart your router.

Hey guys,
Hoping someone might be able to provide some insight for me on this. Please see the attached image. I have not opened the Maps application once. I noticed it was being a power hog about an hour ago and even force stopped it, but it persisted. Anyone had a similar experience/have an idea for a fix?

Disable maps caching and offline map
Sent From Samsung's Galaxy Note II Using Internet
Thanks for the quick response. Can you tell me how to execute those tasks?
Go into maps app and settings
Also disabling location services could help

These cant be disabled... I only see the choice of caching when on wifi or wifi/3g and it says that its only active when charging, so wont be that surely?
Location services could well have an effect but you will lose the functionality of Google Services, google now etc.
I have all the location based stuff active and dont have the issue.
Could it be another app that is using Google Maps to obtain data and keeping it awake?
Yeah, as you said I can't disable them. I can't imagine what it is. Location services wouldn't have that much of an effect. Not sure what to do here. Thinking of trying a fresh install of a diff rom. Currently running CleanRom
I've searched the forum and have read about the issues others are having with GPS however my issue is completely different then what everyone else has experienced. I've already ordered a new phone from Rogers but I am so mind boggled with what is going on that I needed to post and ask to see if anyone can explain this.
Carrier - Rogers
Model - D852 (Interesting to note, although the sticker on the phone/box and software say D852 the engraving on the plastic components under the battery cover say D850)
So the phone sees the GPS satellites however will not get a lock on at all. I have high mode accuracy enabled. The GPS icon in the status bar stays light grey and in navigation just says searching for satellites. I downloaded GPS Test app and it shows that it sees satellites however will not get a lock their either. I've even tried going into the LG secret menu and test the GPS from their, same problem. I've done a factory reset and it still didn't work.
Is this just a plain old hardware issue or am I missing something?

I've already done one twice. Event tried switching from Dalvik to ART and back.
Try switching off all location services. Reboot your phone then switch them on again.

Go to location in settings and select gps and network for gps. Maybe you have only network selected and gps wont lock any satelite. I tried to selected only network and gps dont lock.
I'm on a 5.1 ROM but the GPS has always been complete crap on every single Samsung phone I've ever owned.
Without a cell connection GPS takes forever to lock, or simply doesn't.
Right now I'm in China. The following three screenshots were taken at the same time.
Stuck behind the Chinese firewall that blocks all things Google, Googlemaps can't get a lock.

GPS Status gets NO satellites.
Baidu Maps got an INSTANT "lock" the moment I opened it. I think it might just be a cellular triangulation lock or something since GPS Status shows zero satellites.
What the hell????
Is there some device driver that I can download for the GPS chip that allows it to actually get a lock? I've also noticed that when I'm out in the middle of nowhere with no data reception the GPS fails miserably in getting any kind of lock.
All it's good for is burning through your battery as you wait for a lock that never happens.
Maybe it's Google maps? Might also want to try an app called 'faster gps.' The problem with running aftermarket Roms is that you never know if it's the rom or a problem with the GPS itself. I for one, have owned many Samsung devices and never had problems with GPS, but I have mainly stayed with TouchWiz. That's what I suggest you give a try if with the app it still doesn't work
Try using the latest OFFICIAL firmware for T-Mobile variant Nk2 in a stock form, then test your GPS if it works then you'll know it was the unofficial 5.0 lollipop causing the problem.
Then you can decide;
Stock reliability.
Or
Custom unofficial caketup rom unreliability.

Hi,
I was posting this on Samsung community topic and have it confirmed - after some time, GPS starts to fly over and suddenly it freezes totaly.
I've made a video of it:
Anyone solved it ?
S22 Exynos...
Mine is behaving the same, s22 ultra exynos. It worked fine before the (March?) update that fixed Whatsapp video playback. I am driving a lot, turning location off and on again so often is making the phone almost unusable for navigation.
Guess we will have to be patient. Last update EVAH did some progress but its not completely ok. Its just much better now.
After latest update and some app permission tweaking it seems Samsung fixed the freeze issue. (At least for me)
Faced the same issue as mentioned here so far.
After patch (see screenshot) gps worked fine for the duration of a 1:10 hour run -tracked- with no interruptions.
However, i sense Samsung pulled a dirty on here.
During the tracked session it seemed the 5G SIM module lost connectivity a couple of times in areas it worked fine before.
Will try converting the SIM to eSIM and test again.
Did anyone encounter similar issue?

Ok, good to know. Thanks for confirming.
