Like title says. Today my GPS began randomly starting every few minutes. I have not installed any new apps or made any other changes, so I can't figure out what is causing this.
Any suggestions?

What rom, any kernel changed, dropped the phone?
Sorry, its totally stock other than a handle full of apps. No drops, and has been in an Otterbox Defender from day 1.

Depending on what you are doing on the phone, and your location settings, it is normal for gps to start automatically. Ie doing a Google search when you have GPS enabled and have allowed Google to access your location as they say "to provide better search results"
Or it could be your wife logging into your htcsense account and using the locate phone feature to find you
LOL. Sitting here with the wife and watching GPS activating. Also, have location access disabled on Google.
This is really strange. I've had the phone a while now, and this is new behavior. It happens even after I have force closed all the apps that might happen to use GPS.

For anyone interested by monitoring the GPS events while watching running apps, I was able to find the culprit. It was the AT&T Mark The Spot App causing GPS to keep activating. Even after doing an FC of the app, within minutes it would start itself again and then GPS would start firing up again. Uninstalled the AT&T app: problem solved. I had the app for a good while, and this was a fairly recent bug.

Hello,
I am thinking of buying the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 WIFI P3110 but I have a question.
One of the things I really like to have on it is GPS. When I google for this model I get contradicting information. One website says it has build-in GPS while another website says it doesn't. Then somewhere else I read it uses A-GPS. I'm really confused now.
What I want is this: to be able to navigate without the use of a data connection. Is this possible???
Hope you guys (and girls) can help me out
My P3113 has GPS and it works fine. I'm guessing the P3110 has GPS as well, as I think the only difference is a lack of the IR Blaster.
yep
I've been unable to use navigation using just GPS.

So is this working fine with just the GPS??? Or do you also have a data connection at the same time???

When you speak of GPS and a data connection, you're talking about two different things. The GPS is basically a radio receiver that interprets the signals from orbiting satellites to determine your position. This capability is already present with the Tab. The practical application of this GPS data requires some kind of map interface to display the location information (from the GPS receiver). The "data" connection is needed to download the actual maps that display on your device as you move. Google maps does this. There are however programs that allow you to download all the needed maps at one time in advance and then store them on your device. Then when using the GPS, the data connection isn't needed because the maps are already on board. Two examples of this are CoPilot GPS and Back Country Navigator. I've used both and they work great. Hope this helps.
Google maps has a feature to save maps for offline use. I haven't actually tested it without a data connection though

Yeah the GPS works great on mine. Very quick lock on and very accurate. Unfortunately I haven't tried it without a data connection, so I don't know how it works while you are out.

Same as me, on my GT-P3110 with a navigation map out of data:good:
OK, reviving this thread a lil bit. I recently cracked the screen of my Nexus 7. In the market for getting another tablet. The primary use of the N7 has been as a media center/navigation for my car. I listen to pandora and use Google Maps being tethered to my smartphone. The GPS is important as I have to make a few 18 hour trips halfway across the country and back to pic up my son for my time with him...and then repeat the trip to take him back. I have found a couple used galaxy tab 2's locally on craigslist. Having not really looked into the GTab 2, would this be a suitable replacement for my N7 or do you think I should just get another N7? Open to suggestions.

I don't think routing or searching for businesses etc works in offline mode. All you can do is view the map. Google doesn't believe you have the right to use navigation offline. You must always be connected.
I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1.2 and I'm using Strava to record my cycling rides. For some weird reason the new track I rode isn't accurately recorded as you can see in the image attached. The lines are straight and not curved with the track. My friend that rides with me records his rides also and he's using a Nexus 4 and on his map it looks perfect. I attached the same part of the track from his map so you can see the difference.
I was wondering if the problem is with the GPS receiver being inferior to the Nexus 4 or is it a software issue?
I think that this is a software issue, open in app that you are using and search for gps settings or something there will byte probably to set gps refresh rate or to change on how many meters to track or fix gps peaks or something like that...(you can try another app and see does will be the same )

Well, Google Maps is the tracking app, Strava only shows the relevant cycling data. So I think it's something with Maps that is incorrect. Couldn't find any GPS settings in it. I did turn off Google Location Services, maybe if I enable it the tracking will be more accurate? Or maybe it's just that Maps version that is buggy. Also, I'm not updating to Maps 7 cause it's buggy for some reason.

why don't you try app like runkeeper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fitnesskeeper.runkeeper.pro&hl=en
Or something like My Tracks from google https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.maps.mytracks&hl=en
and see how it goes
I already have a pretty nice database of rides recorded on Strava so it's kind of a bummer to switch apps now, but I will try for the testing.
Thanks

It's weird, I actually just checked my past recorded rides and there the lines are correct. It's only recently that it started recording with these straight lines... I just have to figure out what have changed...
I figured out what was the problem in case anyone else is interested. I recorded those past rides with Maps 7 and since it was a bit glitchy I reverted back to Maps 6.14.4. Turns out the older version just tracks straight lines. I'm back with Maps 7 and the tracking is perfect!
I hope my phone won't go too crazy with Maps 7. As long as it tracks my rides correctly I'm glad
Great ,What i have told you it's a software problem

For several weeks now, the compass was broken, but I could live with the view from top at the maps. Now it won't even find my GPS. Also, when I activate to check in to a location to Instagram, it shows a different location than where I am, and I have to use the search. How can I fix it? I live in Greece.

I am facing issues with GPS as well. I am facing issues with Google navigation. GPS doesn't fix. It takes too much time. I used GPS fix app which fixes GPS in 1-2 min. Still Google map takes 15-20 mins to figure out where I am on the map and start navigation correctly. Is it a ROM problem? Currently i am using resurrection remix. When I was using Blisspop, navigation was slower than the car speed. Means few mins after I take a turn, Google map would instruct me to take a turn. Any idea what could be the problem? I recently did a clean flash. But that didn't fix the issue.
Missed one more point, after 15-20 mins GPS locks and Google navigation starts working. But frequently it would announce GPS signal lost. To test, I kept running my nexus 4 in parallel. Nexus 4 locks GPS instantly and on the same route never losses GPS signal.
