After an exhaustive search to try to fix the GPS on mySprint LG G2 I think I have finally found a remedy that I have tested on cm11 nightly rom. I have tried all the fixes I could find including putting cardboard under the contacts on the back cover. I still was unable to get any kind of GPS response at all. Now after creating this flash-able fix I can lockon in less than a minute even indoors.
The fix is a combination of files I found during my search for a fix which include some .so files I have been told came from the PAC rom including the GPS confirm file I took from a stock LG G2 rom
This has only been tested by me several times and only on a Sprint LS980 with cm11 nightly. When you upgrade to the latest nightly you must flash this file after upgrade, or at least I did, or you will lose GPS.
I just wanted to share the only fix that has worked for me with the community

Flash at your own risk! I assume no responsibility for bricking your device.
Those who own a device other than sprint are welcome to try this fix at your own risk and report back.

I couldn't get this to work for me. However flashing my nandroid back to stock and downloading the app GPS lock in the playstore, getting a lock, then flashing back to AOSP helped me get a lock on LP Resurrection. I assume that would also work for CM11. Not that that's new news but just confirming it worked for me.

Sorry it didn't work for you. I personally think the GPS in this phone sucks. I have heard of people .tot there phones to get GPS signal then re-rooting, installing recovery, and re-flashing the rom. That is just a lot to do for me. Like I said I have tried all the fixes and apps with no luck. I have to re-flash this after nightly updates or I have no GPS at all. Hopefully this will work for some people.
Do you think this might work for LP roms as well?

You could try it. Just make sure to make a nandroid first just in case.
who try it on CM12?
I did and it didn't work.
I just installed the latest nightly (CM12) and GPS work just fine.
I stand corrected, tried it on a highway and GPS was NOT working. I think I got fooled by phone locating itself by nearby WiFi APs.
Just an FYI, GPS finally works on latest CM12 nightlies.

You can pull your gps.conf file from your stock rom and override (or rename) the one in aosp/cm. I always do it that way and it works 100% of the time.
You can use root explorer or the like to add it. It's located in system/etc/gps.conf.
Anybody else had some luck with this patch?
I also tried to use the original gps.conf but same result no gps signal.

Did you flash the gapps from the pa thread? You have to have those for all that stuff to work. Make sure its the PA gapps because they've made some changes to them, somehow.

I'm not sure then, you might have to reflash everything. I don't know what else to try. I've never had that particular issue. Was it a dirty flash over another version? I'd make a backup, do a clean install, and see if the problem is still there. Worst case, if it is still there, you can restore your backup. If not, then maybe the install had a brain fart. Have you tried reflashing PA and gapps and wipe cache and dalvik on this install? (Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm half asleep)
It doesnt look like you are connected to any network at all. Your wifi and signal icons are greyed out. Thats why you are getting that message.

Does it go online with a cellular connection or just wifi? Check Settings>About Phone>Status>IMEI and see what the number is. I don't know why, but that was the first thing I though when I reread this thread is that maybe you've had your EFS partition wiped. I "think" if it's a real IMEI it will start with a 3, but a generic unusable one will start with a 1. I don't know if that would affect Google Connection, but it might.
Also, have you tried redownloading the ROM and GAPPS?
Did you set correct Date & Time settings? Cuz it's important to log in GG account.

If it's a custom Rom it's already rooted (obviously). Check the build version in your settings.

yeah i can't get into TWRP, or the other one. it keeps giving me dude with red !. version is jz054k.
I did a full wipe and install of an origonal build of the software, was able to root it sucesfully now. but still can't get into the bootloader menu. tried cammand line to tell it to boot into it, tried rom manager. no dice. just keep getting little dude. i remember seeing a thread about him, i don't know what he means :\
The bootloader on these phones are locked. You are able to install the custom recovery only because Freegee can bypass the bootloader.

yeah i got around it and managed to do it. didnt much like the rom, know any clean roms that are more stock like? i really didnt mind stock. but i want 4.4 or better than stock.
Honestly, your best option is to wait for the kitkat update to hit in a month or so. You get what you're looking for in one stock update. Hassle free. That's what I'm doing. The more I learn about this phone, the more I am hesitant to flash anything to it. Mostly because there are so many variants for this phone. Everything can't be compatible so why risk it.

Read the whole thing then you'll be ready to go
Its the kitkat Korean update, I'm using it on my e980 , pretty sweet
yeah i agree, i havn't found many rom's i like. ive found roms always fail after awhile. so idk. they always bloat up and start to fail than they need the update to be stable blah blah than your reinstalling all apps and backing **** up. idk, was just looking at what phones offer these days for modding but nothing seems to of changed. this phone inparticular is a rather unstable device none stock, seems to be allota issues and a good reason to have bootloader locked.
Un locking the bootloader only allows for custom kernels on any given device. In some cases you will get greater stability. But for the most part you will still have glitches, performance decreases, etc. because you are STILL flashing custom Roms. And in allot of cases your phone will go completely nuts because custom kernels have their glitches too. So in short, sometimes, Custom Rom=glitches. custom kernel=glitches. That all adds up to a totally unstable Rom. Keep in mind all devices are not the same. What runs great on his might crash your phone completely. Just my 2 cents....lol
I have seen a few of these threads, but nothing solid enough to grant a solution.
As you see below, I am getting constant signal drops, and it happens even where there is flawless reception.

So far I've read these suggestions:

-- Flash stock rooted ROM then flash back
Any thoughts?
I am currently on Task's Latest (6-28) ROM, but have been experiencing this on previous ones (4.4.3 + 4.4.2).

Task's latest is 7-9 I believe.
That being said, Is your phone unlocked?
Also, does your baseband match your bootloaders?

Did this start happening after unlocking? It sounds like your nv file might be damaged.

No. This started happening maybe about a month or two ago. I unlocked it over a year ago. I have a feeling it was when i switched to a 4.4 rom. Unfortunately i didn't notice right away so i can't pinpoint the cause

You can try flashing another modem. If that doesn't work, might wanna try flashing back to stock, test it and work your way back up if all is well.

Flashing the modem again did nothing to fix.
One question before I flash the stock ROM, will I need to do anything besides flashing? I'm not sure how it goes, since it is an older version (4.0.3 I believe?).
I know I need to do it in Odin, but nothing else besides that. Flashing an AOSP ROM after that won't be a problem?
Sorry for the questions, just wanna make sure before trying this out.

1. I'm on pageplus so that means I have a verizon phone that is running a sprint rom with a modded updater script and sprint radios (this is what I have to do to get 3g) so every time I install a rom I flash some radio patch which may affect this ROM (but I don' t think so cuz I got the same result not flashing the radio patch. But I tell you that just so you know
2. on both yours and the fml rom I was able to send and receive sms and phone calls just not data and mms
hope this helps

the rom is identical to mwisbests', the difference is the ev wallpapers. static error building the evwidgets and evupdater app. the fw is identical and my kernel didnt boot. probably because gcc. idk. im not using this rom atm but i have a backup i can troubleshoot if necessarry. the reason i hosted this was to see if a ev buid fixed data. nope.
Incredibly smooth and battery friendly rom.
Based on stock chinese firmware, debloated and optimized.
Download 8.9.30

Is it true as stated in the official website that this ROM a-GPS is only optimized for Spain? Does anyone here can confirm that the Mi 8 GPS works without any issue outside of Spain region? Thanks
Nice rom but show non english word when unlock mi in setup but this rom better than EU rom.
unfortunately this rom also has the bug where GPS stops working after a while,the same as all other aftermarket miui roms I tried. developers are actively working on it, I hope they figure it out soon.
im not sure ob out optimisation for Spain, but as far as I understand it only means GPS might connect slightly slower in other regions.
