First of all, in sorry if this is somewhere else, but i havent been able to find anything yet ..
So the problem is, my gps dosent work 90% of the time, it dosent connect to the gps signal, and i dont know what to,do about it .. Btw i should mention im on 5.0.0 and rooted stock, and have soft bricked it once while trying to mod the camera, could this have something to do with it?
Thanks in advance.

Search again. There are at least 2 post about this. Just found them by searching with the key word "gps". Who would have guessed that?

So, Ive successfully ran Unrevoked 2 v2(the one after the debacle) and everything is working great. I dont have 4g in my area so not too sure whether or not that is broken(please enlighten me if you know whether or not it should be, still a little confused as to what the second version fixed or didnt fix). The one issue I found today is when I was searching for twonkymedia server in the Marketplace it comes back as nothing found. Does the same with slingplayer. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know of a fix? I cant find the apk anywhere for this app.
This belongs in Q&A forum, not Dev dude.

hi... i has installed the coredroid v 3.3 and works great...the only thing that don't works is my GPS.. I'm using GPS STATUS app and don't find any satellite... someone can help me?

This normally happen first time after flashing new ROMs. Now my LeeDrOid v2.2.3 found about 7-8 satellites but still get a slow fix. Wonder why too.
Did you change the gps.conf file under system/etc to your nearest ntp? Using FasterFix?

but, i have coredroid v 3.3 for a long time... and i was tested some radios...
even i was re-flashed an OFFICIAL RUU (installed gps test and found 5 sat!!), later
full wipes and "formats" included... and flashed again coredroid v3.3 (like my syg says)but It continues without working with this rom...
in adition i don´t now what are you talking about "faster fix".... what is this?
hing that was you
EDIT: i found faster fix in the market! i´m going to study this apk...
Meanwhile can you explain me how can i do the thing that you was said me? --"""Did you change the gps.conf file under system/etc to your nearest ntp?"""""
thank´s!!!!!
SECOND EDIT: fasterfix.apk don´t fix my problem
Hmm that's weird. ROM problem? I don't think so.
Yea.. FasterFix is an app in the market. Which relates to the gps.conf that I am talking about. Basically you have change your ntp(Network Time Protocol) to your nearest.
You have to reboot once you changed them so it will take effect. I am also having problem now getting a fast fix. Last time was fast, now so slow. Practically when I am driving, I have to stop my car and allow it to get a fix first(about 3 minutes). If I was attempting to get a fix while driving it will take minutes(maybe 10 minutes?). Sigh.
This one fixed my gps issues:

Thats what I do every 2 - 3 weeks
Remove your sim card from the phone, boot it, download GPS Status & Toolbox
go menu - tools - manage A-gps state - Reset it and then download it and place your phone on a flat surface somewhere outside your house till it gets a fix/lock
then shut down your phone, put the sim card in
and you'll notice that you'll have a way faster fix/lock after that
i hope i helped
uuppsss i wake up now!! hahaha i´m going to try all the answers and then post the results!!!
thx
There's also the possibility that the gps antenna is broken. If you place a finger on the camera flash cover and lightly press it inwards, you can get good signal and indicating that the antenna is broken.

Hi all,i have a strange problem i can't find anywhere how to get rid of. Any time i make a phone call or i receive one,my gps starts and i have to turn if off.i thought truecaller was to blame so i removed it but nothing changed and i can't find nothing in the settings. I'm running revolution HD 5.1.4 on my desire HD. Hoping there's a solution,thanks

has you tried to re-flash your rom doing full wipe''?maybe seems a radical solution but if you tried to disable it and it restarts... you haven´t more ways...
Hi gian569
I am not sure about but I think there is something to do with Mock Locations. The GPS is searching where you are i guess. Did you turned that off?
Or just maybe your wife / husband has installed a root soft in order to spy you.....

Hi there,
TrueCaller doesn't activate the GPS. If you have connected TC to your Twitter account and have location and GPS on however it will use the GPS. But like I said, TC cannot initiate the GPS by itself
Thanks for using TrueCaller!
Thank you all for you replies
So let's make the point...it's not truecaller's fault....my girlfriend barely knows what is a software...xD....my parents also can't do such a thing....xD....i had this issue with AR HD 5.1.3 if i remember right,then i patched to 5.1.4 without full wipe....so i think i'll try flashing 5.1.6 and see what happens
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
@superstick i forgot: i don't get what you mean but i've turned off gps almost everywhere,moreover it would be strange if it turns on only with calls i think
The Mock Location is not the GPS signal. It is about capturing where you are whenever you are at different places. I guess its nothing to do with that.(I did not used that before, so cant tell. lol)
Oh yes i allow program to track my position but internet only,e not using gps so it shouldn't be that...

I got the same question after upgrading my ROM from 2.2 to 2.3. I tried several ways, and found out that GPS will not be auto launched when you turn off all data services(WIFI, WCDMA).
don't know the root cause yet.

if it says inaccurate signal for car navigation, usually its because the gps signal isn't locking.
have u tried using it outdoor? when it was working how long does it take to have a lock? was it accurate?
if not u can download either gps tools or gps data from play store to update your agps
or edit the NTP servers in gps.conf according to your location

Using? Sigic to.
What version are you running ?
11.2.6 Last good version.
With 12.xx 13.xx sily programming
Kills basic gps functions. It does internet connections while handling gps info. This is very bad.... Ig you lose the cpnnection gps will stop kan last several minutes...
You lost tons of gps signals buffered up.mostly crashing cmx.x
If you are lucky you get info minutes to late.
Use droidwall to kill all sygic phone home functions... It works a bit better

lol yea 12.1.3 is better! BtW ive realised that original sygic version makes gps work but cracks make it do not work
Sometimes it works sometimes it does not.its most dependent on wifi on internet access. In any case with this low a basic gps quality im not buying such a product.( gps finding satelites very slow often no more satelited on restart or waiting forever with 11 fixed satelites on lock often waiting longer then the drive itself
.
The trial version(official) is clearly bad. See description 12.1.1-12.1.2-12.1.3 13.1beta1/beta2 all versions have the same flaw. No or broken network= huge delays up to 10 minutes google maps are faster.
Verry long gps delays where tomtom and old versions 11,2,6 have no gps problems at all
Vetsion 11.2.6 crashes cm 7.2 at least every half an hour.Instable software.... Under such conditions i prefere a simple working( more primitive user interface) of TomTom.
Start delay 30sec gps delay unnoticable.
Delays only arrose on sygic.
Ps there is an additional problen sygic above 80km/hr zoomed out low problems . Problem mainly arrise between 5 and 50km/hr.
Exactly when looking for a destination.
No problems like that on TomTom except heavy non driver friendly

I had the same problem and had to get a new phone. Mine would say searching for GPS and the little indicator wouldn't even show up in the status bar. Have t-mobile send you a new one.
