Sorry if i repeat the thread, but reading experiences, no one like mine.
The GPS is not working at 100%, no signal, no nothing.
Runkeeper, Google, nothing.
GPS is authorised to the apps, ON and ok.
But nothing.
Any suggestion??
Thanks!!

Factory reset and if its still not working send it in for repair.
If you are comfortable with terminal (or if you have a working play store), try sideloading gps status.
Edit:I just reread your post. I am not sure those apps use the watch gps. Try wear gps status or ghostracer. They are in the play store. No sideloading needed.

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I tried my best to look for my problem and could not find it.
I rooting my samsung galaxy s III to the mr robinson jellybean 4.1.1
Everything works fine and dandy. But the problem is that my navigation does not work at all. It always says, looking for GPS. But the gps does work because direction maps work fine. I was wondering if anyone knew what to do with this. Thanks!

Mine works fine on my end, but on the other hand I did a clean install. Then restored all apps from Titanium. I would reflash.
What should I do?

Okay sounds good. Should I just reflash the same way? I can do that. Or is there a better root that you recommend? I would like to get a hot spot to work if that is possible as well. I wonder if that is possible. But it is hard to find out what exactly each different root does.
I had the same problem at one point. Try this.
In settings my Google account > location settings, allow Google apps to find my location. Make sure its checked
Hmm Maps still not working

So I tried doing that and it worked but on the road randomly it died out again and said the same thing. Do you think it lost the GPS signal or it just isnt working. Does anyone else have this problem?

Open Play Store. Hit your menu button and select "my apps". This will give you a list of all the apps installed on your phone. It will tell you what apps there are updates for and what apps are already updated.
Works, but noticed something up with my music player

Cool! The maps work fine! Great, thanks a lot. But I did noticed something. When I play music from the music player, every couple of songs it just stops playing, but says its playing. I reset the phone it works again but then the same thing happens. When I close the program it works fine as well but the in a bit the same issue comes. Does anyone know anything about this. Thanks.

Download GPS Status and Toolbox from Play Store. If you search for gps it'll be one of the first apps listed.
Don't know why, but my phone locks faster when I have it.

No seriously, provide a little more information and we can help you. There are lots of different gps tweaks. What version/ROM are you on? Carrier? Country?
I have the same problem (4.2.2 Stock). GPS just doesn't work. I tried a lot of stuff (including factory reset)... and nothing.

If you haven't done already: verify all location settings are turned on in the settings menu as well as in t the Google settings app. Download GPS status app. Go outside. Fire up the app and let it try to acquire. If that doesn't work, in gps status reset agps data, download agps data and try again. Did this work?
If you're rooted, you can just flash a better radio. That's what I did and it has improved drastically.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345
If it's a fresh fix it can take up to 5 or 10 minutes at least, outside.
Start maps and make sure gps is attempting to acquire location and just wait. But be outside.

I would imagine coincidence.
Clear AGPS data with GPS Status as mentioned and use FasterGPS to change your region to North America or wherever you live. That should provide you with a faster fix.
My GPS suddenly on the fritz as well
Had the GSM Gnex about 10 months. Approx 10 days ago I start noticing the GPS status bubble in the notification bar (not filled in). I've messed with it, used a couple of the tools mentioned in this thread, no help. I've done power off, factory reset last night, all no help. It appears slow to find sats, never acquires. Stock 4.2.2 unrooted.
Any chance reloading 4.2.2 would help? Any advantage to doing so over factory reset?
Still under warranty I guess, but really prefer to solve myself if possible.
Thanks!

No, as mentioned in my original post, it slowly seems to find a couple satellites sometimes (last night in hotel running "GPS test", but never acquired).
Maps don't acquire. Today, inside or outside at lunch, couldn't even get it to find a satellite with "GPS status" app. The circle just spins and it says "looking for GPS location". I only gave it about 90 seconds outside as I was walking.
GSM / Magura 4.2.2

I assume you have an active sim and the phone has data service?
One last diagnostic - try to let the gps acquire outside for up to 10 minutes. If that doesn't work I'd recommend flashing back a factory image. If the factory image doesn't work you've got a hardware issue.
GPS problems
Yeah, SIM/phone works fine, just sent a test email now w/wireless off to ensure data is good, it arrived.
I'll try to reload JDQ39 tonight after work, already downloaded it last night.
Thanks for the help/recommendation.

One last thing, did you verify that ALL location settings are still switched on? Verify in the Google settings app.
Since last reboot, none of my apps requiring GPS (facebook, gas buddy, Maps, etc.) are working. I've looked to make sure that Mock Location isn't check. Gas Buddy is always askin me to make sure that GPS is enable and everything is check'd in the Location section...
Any idea ? Fix perm and reboot didn't make it...

Agreed. I have uninstalled Maps and everything. I know there are 2 places to enable GPS and loaction and they are both enabled. Still cant locate me. Hoping there is a fix for this?

Cool. Will give that a whirl if I need to.
I downloaded GPS Status from the playstore and did a GPS reset/download data and I'm able to finally get a GPS lock and use Waze, etc.
I could not get any stable GPS lock for the past 2 days before -- was a little annoyed by that.
I even rebooted to ensure GPS still getting lock and it is.
I'm hoping this stays working but will keep an eye on it.
Thanks,

To everyone that's successfully get GPS lock, can you confirm if the GPS is still working under airplane mode please. Just to make sure the GPS data is not from a-GPS.
And what's the Knox status on your device?

It's been almost a month now. The way I get GPS to work for me is:
1) Use GPS status ; use Tools->Manage A-GPS state; then click Reset and then Download.
2) Go outside or near a window and get a lock ; the lock should not take that long. For this step, I like "GPS Test" app (not sure it actually makes a difference but it seems to).
3) Keep GPS turned on (for Kitkat, it will be in Battery Saving mode and not used much until something asks for it.
If I do this, I've gotten consistently working GPS and locks that don't take long at all (usually less than a minute and usually faster than that).
I use Waze to/from work 5 days a week and a few times during the weekend.
BTW, I'm running CM 11 2014 05/09 nightly for hlte on my Note 3 n900t. I don't think the ROM matters.
If I reboot or power off, I plan to use the above 3 steps. Having to do this is not optimal but having a predictable way to get GPS working is useful.
Dennis
Hmm might be why I don't seen to have a problem GPS, I leave it on all the time since it doesn't use the battery unless an app is actively using it.

I wouldn't flash this. Only one person said they did without causing problems for their phone and it didn't fix the issue (for them).
You are better off trying the TOPNTP app instead. I have GPS on all the time and don't have a locking problem.
Same problem here. When I use the GPS TEST it works. When I try using Waze or Google Maps, nothing. What's funny, if there's some fun in this, is that waze works ok in background when GPS TEST is open. At least I get voice directions. When I try oppening both in multi-window, Waze stops again... I've tried everything, from stock to every rom I found, but nothing makes the GPS works with Waze and GM.
I have found the first real issue with the M8.
The GPS fails during navigation and cannot get proper lock. That meant it kept trying to recalculate routes etc...
My friends have also had same issue.
Location settings were set on the best option too. Full mobile signal and internet as well.

Google navigation and TomTom both failed on different M8s.
It works for a bit, but when it goes wrong you will know about it.
I am hoping only software, but I have no idea of issues or how to fix it.
If you are rooted or unlocked, try this GPS config ... its for quick good AGPS lock before actual GPS one.

I'm not adversed to anythng BUT I have just bought a £500 plus phone. I would rather not void a warranty yet.... also some of my apps won't work on a rooted device.
I have no problem on my phone. all is ok.
GPS has been the best I've ever experienced on a smartphone. Locks quickly and accurately and the only device ever to get a decent lock inside my concrete flat.
However, yesterday the GPS failed completely whilst driving with clear view of the sky. A reboot fixed it and it was then rock solid again.
That's the only time it's done it in about a week since owning it with about 20 hours driving with it.
I'm hoping that means it's a software issue somewhere.

Yep gonna agree works perfect with copilot. Also better than sygic imo. I also wouldn't bother with Google navigation. Better to use an offline satnav app.
I have this problem too... Doesn't seem to matter which app one are using, it also happens with my golf app... And the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone.. This is really annoying...
It seems to be related to bluetooth use... If I use BT to play music/listen to audiobook at the same time as I use the navigation app, then I have this problem.. If I turn off the BT, then the problem does not seem to appear... I am saying seem to, because it seems to be random when this occurs so not 100% sure that turning off BT fixes the problem but so far I have not had this problem when BT is off..
I also thought this was fixed in the latest update but yesterday it happend again....
