Hi all.
I'm sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I could not find....
I am very scared about this bug, do I need to change the phone ?
This i what happens :
When I start google maps, I can't get a lock: the blinking GPS icons appears for 1 second, then disapear, then come back for one second, the disapear for ever.
I don't know what to do... please, help !
Wireless Location and GPS enabled?
Menu -> Settings -> Location & Security
Yes of course
Use an app other than google maps to init your gps. Try GPS Test from the market.
GMaps is known to "give up" if the gps doesn't get a quick fix with the nexus s.
Tried GPS Test... Same result
FYI, this is definitely a hardware failure. I had my phone changed. So if you have the same trouble, you should do the same !
Excuse, no permissions to write in Developer Forum. So i ask here...
First thanx to the very good development of cm for the galaxy tab!
Using cm-10-20120830 there is some trouble with compass alignment. No correct value for north before and after compass alignment.
No fix in GPS apps. Getting correct current position but nix fix status in applications like gps essentials.
Any suggestions?

try using gps status from playstore to calibrate the compass, not sure if that will work.. there's something wrong with the gps on mine too.. about 20KM/h off from the actual speed(was driving at ~100KM/h, but the app only shows ~80KM/h, was using sygic and gps status for the speed, about the same reading)
Problem with compass:
After some more 'alignment' (rotating the tab in all axis) i have a correct compass reading in 'gps essentails'
- but - a wild changing and not correct north in 'gps status' app!
Whats that?
Problem with gps fix:
Correct coordinates shown in all apps - but - in no application there is a fix.
'gps status' shows 4 satellites ( i am shure there were more in stock) in view. But lock shows 0, also after longer time. So i think no problem with agps data, only with 'fix' announcement. When i start the app there is also a short popup saying 'locked in 9 seconds'.
I am confused!

looks like we have problem here. 4 satellites, 9 secs lock. but no actual lock showing.
I am glad to see I'm not the only one noticing compass issues... my Google Sky Map refuses to work!
Anywho, I did the whole 'back to stock and get a lock' to no avail.
I Install JMP 9.0..in my A110....All r working super...but Navigation is not working in my mobile..it's shows the message "searching for gps" in the bottom of the navigation app...please solve my problem dude..im always in journey...this is very imp to me..
I just upgraded my Samsung SGH-T959W to cm-10.2-20130920-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd
It now reports iteself as being an SGH-T959V ..... non-issue as far as I am concerned.
It works so well compared to the original ROM ....... but I have no GPS icon (top right pulldown screen or in power widget etc.) and no way that I can see to turn on GPS. If I use Google Maps it asks me to turn on wifi to help navigate .... not very helpful when I'm driving along the highway. But no mention of GPS.
Any pointers would be very useful as I got lost this morning on the way to work.
Cheers, Duncan
Hi. Since I got my mix 2s, i have always this "Searching for GPS" error in Google Maps navigation. It seems the phone could not get a GPS lock. The error is intermittent.
Has anybody experienced this, or anyone who thinks of a fix?
Are you using a case that has metal parts? I had gps lock issues when using a case with top and bottom made of metal, I couldn't connect to gps at all.

In MIUI10 try to do that:
Pull down toggle bar.
Hold the GPS icon to reach GPS settings.
Localization Access (Or something like this.. I use pt version)
Choose you app (Waze, Strava...)
Open Battery economy
Select No restrictions
Thats it! Maybe the name of the options are a little bit different.. but this the general idea.
