Hi,
I have a problem with GPS fix. The GPS test does not show that the device can not see any satellite. Which of the antennas is responsible for GPS. I suspect that something broke during the fall of the phone to the ground. Do you have any idea how to fix it?

So, I am having problem with GPS on my phone. Everytime I flash, I can get my GPS to work once. After that then, My GPS won't lock. Anyone here heard of such a problem?
My Note 2 was unfortunately flooded. All works fine except GPS.
GPS Status app sometimes show 1-4 satellites in view, but no one is in use.
Phone is now completely dry. I disassembled then, and put all together once again. But it does not help.
Have anyone had this the same problem? Any ideas how to fix that?
Can anyone know where on the motherboard is located GPS and antenna?
Hi folks,
Using Z00AD - ZE551ML for almost 1.5 years now... but found out GPS is failing on me recently....
Can help test out your GPS? My GPS seems not functioning well since updated to MM then i downgraded back to LL UL-Z00A-WW-52.20.40.196 and i still find issues with it.... i constantly getting disconnection and accuracy of the GPS is way off... i use GPS Test from Chartcross (go to play store and search for GPS Test)... i'm able to get a fix but the accuracy of the GPS keep changing from 30 - 100 feet... casing my waze and all navi software giving me inaccurate route and locations....
I just want to sure this is my hardware issues or if anyone having the same issues as mine then its a software issues....

I know I'm kind of late. But just noticed it now as I my primarily use my old Samsung S5 as nav device.
Anyway, setting Performance Mode to High and transferring SIM to SIM2 slot fixed the issue for me.
edit - Using Waze and Navionics by the way on my ZE551ML on MM.
Hello , try this mod for fix gps

I have the exact same problem. Sometime after MM bootloader switch I lost all real GPS functions. There are only approximate locations available and no navigation apps work properly. Going back to LP did not help either - even going back to stock. About to have to buy another phone over this issue. None of these mod fixes have worked yet but I will keep trying them just in case.
This could be a one off device issue, But over the past 2 weeks ive noticed my GPS has become unusable.
Downloaded and Used a 3rd Party App called "GPS Test" to look into it in more detail.
Would appear the GPS would work but very weak and limited results after a few seconds results would dwindle down and show no signals avalible.
Reboot the device then all of a sudden the GPS Test would show results, results would appear for around 20-30 seconds then numbers would start to drop to 0.
Other time i am able to reboot the device, Open up GPS Test and it would get a Fix, I would start driving and it would loose the Fix and Google maps would say searching for GPS.
Other times i have rebooted the device and its located a GPS Fix, opened up Maps and drove home without any issues.
Other times i will drive home and it will work then stop working then start working jumping in between 5 - 10 miles in between it reconnecting.
I have factory rest the device, Made no difference.
Just downloaded the latest Formware files and flashed using Odin so its clean and has nothing installed and still experiancing the same issue.
Device has not been rooted.
Unsure what else i can do, I am starting to think its a hardware issue. (Just dont understand why it would work for a few seconds after reboot before failing)
Raised issue with Samsung and waiting for a Door Stop Repair (Slots are limited so still waiting on mine)
Unsure if anyone else has had GPS Hardware issues.
Also open to suggestions
You are probably correct about hardware issue. Mine has some issues with the compass needing frequent calibration. Not bad enough to bother replacing, but clearly not to spec. It happens.
Sounds like bad hardware or failing internal connection.
Try clearing data/cache... otherwise most likely hardware.
A failed chipset, contacts, trace or solder joint.
This was a common issue on the S4; the GPS antenna contacts would fail over time; poor design.
Not sure how it's implemented on the Note mobo. Either way the phone will need to be opened up... sorry.
Hi all,
I have note 2014, wifi. Recently, I tried to open map & gpsstatus, and I just realize that my gps "stops" working. I can see the satellites, however it cannot fix them. on gpsstatus, the satellites always grey, and it restarts to lock every minutes or so.
I am not sure if this is hardware or software issue. anyone know how to solve this problem?
