Hi,
I have an original Optimus 3D (also no root)...
At first the GPS works as expected, fast fix good localisation, but after a while (30secs or so) the icon in the status bar dissapears and I don't get any fix anymore...
Then I have to disable GPS and enable GPS again to get a fix again...
I allready tried to clear AGPS data but it didnt have any effect
can anyone help me?
Thanks
Edit: If I'm not able to get a signal (perhaps in an building) the symbol doesn't disappear so the problem is only when I get a fix...

Hi guys.
I found this hotfix:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=140&cat=0&dl_id=570
It's designed for to help GPS to determine the position, does anybody know if this works and if this reduces the GPS lag?
Thanks a lot.
If you want to wait 10 min for a lock after a soft reset, then the hotfix is for you. It just cleans out ephemeris data. It's ok if you having a major problem getting a fix, but having it run at startup kind of sucks. I just have a link to it (cleangpsdata.exe) in my start menu, and only use it if my gps is acting like poop.
Hello
I have a HTC HD2 flashed with ParanoidAndroid 1.5b. I was trying to run the Sygic GPS navigator but it crashes after a while with ICS. This is not a problem with the ROM but with the application. So far so good. However, I found out that since the application opened the GPS to try to get a fix, when it crashed it left the GPS "on" (although the icon on the status bar disappeared after a while). I tried another GPS navigation program but it couldn't get a fix. I thought it was the GPS configuration, so I changed it to reflect my region (Europe, Greece). But to no avail. Whatever I tried, I couldn't get a fix. I rebooted the device and tried GPS status, it got a fix after a minute or so. If I run Sygic (which crashes) again, it is impossible to get a GPS fix afterwards. If an application that uses the GPS crashes while the GPS is on, it leaves the sensor working. However, there is no indication that there is a problem, as the icon disappears after a while, and gets back on when another app tries to use the sensor. It just can't get a fix. What's more, the battery starts to drain after that (easy to spot with Current Widget, since the draw goes from 6-7mAh to 105-107mAh)
Switching the GPS on and off (from the notification drawer) does not fix the problem. The only solution is to reset the device.
My question (finally) is: is there another solution to "resetting" the sensor to its original (after the boot) state?
Best regards
George
Using JellyBean DS 1.7 -- on the slide, dont know when this exactly stared occurring (as it seemed to be ok after i just installed the rom), i see that there is some sort of cyanogen-mod "phone update" thing, which runs on occasion and think it might have broken something. as i really cant get a gps fix, and at this point dont know how to proceed - is it a hw issue or something in the rom or some sort of update issue?
In maps i see the blue triangle but its always surrounded by a big blue circle, and don't know if its some update but I cant use navigation anymore...
Is there some way to reset the GPS in the device?
Anyone seen this issue or know of a fix?

Try GPS Status.
You should see sattelites as green marks on the radar and the bar underneath.
Somehow my gps got broken, and the device can't see any of them. I guess my case is a HW issue as the same thing happens when I tried to roll back to an earlier ROM.
In my device Gps in google maps is not working properly.
First time it wont show the exact location after closing and reopening it sets the location correct. But if i move, it can't track it and go into grey dot.
But the google navigation works perfectly.
Anyone else facing this issue?

I am facing the same issue but on LineageOS 16.0. I tried to use GPS Locker to find satellites but none were found. I was also using the magisk optimized GPS file replacement. If anyone knows anything, please help. Not having GPS sucks.
My GPS on stock android is also not to good. Sometimes it shows badly my location and often it does not detect directions well. Arrow is pointed in wrong direction and when I move it is moving to the sides not forward. Also when I launch Harry potter game my character is also walking sideways. I tried to calibrate compass but is does not help to much.
My issue is gone now... I did nothing different just regularly updated my phone...also haven't tried any of there games so can't confirm if this is present there
Hello, I have a very annoying bug on my phone. When I turn off the screen, GPS will signal is lost. I recently got a Mi Band and I record my workouts, but I can't use GPS because of this.
I tried setting the Mi Fit app to have no restrictions in the settings, turning off battery saver, using a maps to keep GPS on (that actually worked once, but only once), but none of them worked...
If someone got a fix for this, please tell me.
Ok, so it magically started working.
I don't think there's a fix for this.
I'll try installing a custom ROM.
