GPS not locking

GPS no longer locks after flashing black ice. Should I be using the old original GPS fix? BTW...best ROM ever...Krylon/Team Whiskey rocks!!!

I'm actually having this problem as well with bionix frost. Everything else works flawlessly.

I think I'm gonna apply the old fix later and it should work ok. I'll post the result regardless.

I applied the sgstools fix, enabled the gps, but nav still would not lock on. So I opened maps, let it find my location and settle in until it was accurate, the opened up navigation and it worked fine... No more "Searching for GPS"
Might work for you also...and it's an easy fix.

I see that other people in the black ice thread are having the same problem but I can't share your fix with them as I don't have enough posts for permission in the developer theads...would you share this with them? Thanks again

i searched for sgs tools on the market and it only came up with the capitavate sgs tools. is this the program which you guys are using?

That is correct

Hmm. This fix worked for a few minutes, but when I restart the phone, no more gps lock/navigation. Weird. Thanks for the info.

i followed the instructions using launcher pro and set it to "auto" and it seemed to work. i still have to wait a while to get a lock sometimes, but thats tmobiles fault. they suck in my area. hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
EDIT: It only works once. does anyone else have the locking problem for bionix frost? i can try to reflash my phone and see if that fixes it.

Stock navigation app?

Do anyone know where I can find the stock g2x navigation app? Since flashing roms I lost the app and rely misses it.

You mean the TeleNav app? You don't like Google Navigation better?
Sent from my LG G2x

I remember the icon was a blue arrow and I believe it's called Navigation.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Oh yeah that is google navigation. You should be able to download it from the market or I think it's built into the Maps app.

Okay thanks

[Q] Modems Kernels and other such things

Ok whats the best most stable modem for the Infuse? Like in terms of speed, network stability and battery life. Also was wondering if flashing some kind of kernel would improve anything.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

That really depends...different modems work different in different areas...have to test tthem all out to see which one is best for you

I wanna say I have tried the kk1 modem and it seemingly breaks wifi for me, is that a known issue
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

I've used k1 for about 3 days everything is great buy drains battery. I've found that i3 is the best all around modem IMO

Nope. Used it for 2-3 days and wifi actually works good. Everything is good, except for the battery drain. KI3 works best for me.

GPS inaccuracy

Its better to look at a map then use this gps it just gets you lost. Am I the only one?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

I just noticed that also. It's really off. It was spot on before the update. Anyone else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Yes my device has seemed flawless until driving home tonite and the gps showed tight link but navigation was way off because it had me jumping around about 2000m off actual location.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

I literally just drove to Boston and back. Gps is accurate as it can be. No problems here. And I'm a cab driver so I use it pretty often.

I am providing this link and you can decide yourselves what you want to do. According to the thread, the S4 is not listed under the "supported phones" list, however, the OP of this thread I am listing states that if you Email him, he will consider porting support. It already works for the S3 and many other devices so it shouldn't take much if anything to make it work with the S4. I suggest you read the entire thread before trying anything or asking questions. Maybe this will help:

You might also consider an App such as "GPS Status and toolbox" from the Play Store. It might help.

Did you install the update?

I just downloaded the app gps status test and fix from play store and it looks to have totally fixed the problem for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

i am on the new update and the GPS inaccuracy happened for me in a LTE area. how many of you with this problem are in a LTE area when this happens?

maybe in that time, your device only accees the AGPS to get your location.and hold on when phone find the gps satellite you will get the most nearst location

I'm in an LTE area and my gps has been flawless to within 5 meters, before and after the update.

Here in NYC my GPS is perfect. It locks on about a second after I open Maps or Navigation.

GPS Borked with weather apps??

When I install a weather app the GPS lock times become unreliable, if it locks at all. (CM9 with Proton) I tried turning off the location detection on the ones with the choice, but still...
Any suggestions on what to try next troubleshooting that behaviour?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

How does your GPS fair with Google maps and in GPS tools app?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Like I described. Slow or no lock with weather apps, pretty good without.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Well if it is working on other apps sounds like gmaps, etc then the weather app itself isn't up to par...that's all I can offer hopefully someone else can chime in more to help you.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

What I mean to say is, with the different WX apps I've installed, Maps and other GPS apps don't get a reliable lock. Without WX, works pretty well.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

If your maps or GPS apps aren't working right try AGPS patch that a on the forums. Another alternative is to try GPS aids app or GPS doctor app. They might fix it for you.
My GPS was not working properly I used those two apps and now I am around 5-8 meters accuracy with about 10-20second lock.
If anything it might just be the rom.
