Even with the new baseband the G2x has a unreliable GPS (sometimes needing a reboot to work, etc). Is the Gnex much better? (Generally, and in urban areas or heavy tree cover)

Yes, The gps on my gnex locks from a cold start within 15 seconds. After the first lock it's pretty much instant every time after that.
Thanks guys.. I ended up ordering one last night. Seeing the Jelly Bean demos at Google I/O was the straw that broke the camels back.
Ill see u there

With the new baseband and v21y update I get locks within 15 secs or so every time. Mostly instantaneously.

As I said in another thread, with v21y I get <15 second locks nearly all of the time; once in a while it'll be back to the 2-3 minute mark.

I'm running stock and my GPS is incredibly slow. Using GPS Fix can never get a fix within 15 minutes. Any ideas? Should I just return the phone? I bought it at a tmobile store over a month ago. Would they even accept returns this far out?
You only have 14days to return but I would go plead a case how your not satisfied with the product

30 days in California.
I'm having this problem too. Nothing seems to fix it!! arghhhhhhhhh
I think installing a Gingerbread build breaks the GPS.

That's when my problems started.
Hopefully the official GB update provides some fixed GPS drivers.
I noticed that it goes back and forth for me. Sometimes it locks right away, other times I have to close and reopen slash turn off and on GPS. Do remember though there are always areas that are hard for any GPS to fix a location on. I know some of them here in the twin cities.

That's what I thought...at first.
But I have 2 G2xs. One that has never been flashed, and one that was flashed to CM7 and back to stock.
Never been flashed picks up GPS everywhere, indoors, outdoors in under 5 seconds. It's perfect.
Flashed one hardly works. Sometimes never gets any GPS satellites. Other times it gets them but never locks, even with 9 or more satellites in view. Before flashing, it worked fine.
This was the last thing I was expecting from this phone. Did they finally fix it or am I an anomaly?

That's what samsung gps usually does and what my gf's captivate always did. That was the reason I got her the inspire.

gps has been working perfectly for me since out of the box
I can't complain. Mine has always been perfect.
Same here. Never had a gps issue. Even at street level. Must have been fixed with the first ota maybe?

I get 15 sec cold locks with 9ft. accuracy all the way down to 4ft. after a min or so. my vibrant takes 45sec to lock with 20-40ft accuracy. (and thats with gps mods). id say they fixed it.

I agree. GPS was always my biggest reservation with Samsung phones. That and lack of a stable cm7.
When cm7 finally comes out for this phone I might sell my mt4g.

I'm running Infused 1.5.3 and I an having trouble with GPS accuracy. It often never finds a lock inside or out. Any help would be appreciated because at this point it is worthless.
Sent from my Infuse
I second this. I'm running stock rooted with original radio. GPS has been great since I got this phone almost 2 months ago. It has just went to being almost completely worthless. Never locking below 50m standing outside.

For the past couple of days around the same time 10pm I have lost my signal and it doesn't reappear until the morning, or at least that's what happened this morning. I'm running Apex 10 and the 5.1.2 of Talon. It's very frustrating because I can't use the damn thing as a phone and I'm not even sure if the signal will come back. This just randomly started happening what could be the problem??
Thanks

Tower maintenance?
The last time I saw that on my phone was when at&t was back hauling a tower. I'd give them a call and see

Thanks, the fact that Apex is an i9000 rom seemed to be the problem, because my signal went out again tonight. I flashed Fasty III to my phone and magically I had a phone signal! Thanks again, really appreciate it!
is this a bug in the leaks or an actual feature/conceptual bug? I hope its not the later, but it annoys the hell out of me. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, sometimes i gotta wait a good minute before I can use my phone again
It happend to me couple times but only on when i'm returning missing call from call log. Contacts Force Close and i need to wait some around good 50-60 sec.
I don'tt know, but I hope it doesn't remain like this. FC that lasts almost a whole minute is terrible and unacceptable.
It happens to me multiple times a day but more so in different apps.for example if I try to look at PM's in this app, Facebook freezes and my AWD launcher has froze a couple times but my battery life is so good with ICS that I'm willing to deal with it lol

My Groupon app would FC and hang and it would take a good 30 seconds before it would tell me anything.
Words with friends fcs on me all the time and it's about 50sec frozen phone when it does

I am having the same issue. I am glad that at least it does not freeze up. I think the 2nd leak has more force close than the 1st one. I am also experiencing a lag in touch response on the 2nd leak, but am still on it only because the battery life seems to be little better.

Draw something, xda, espn, Facebook and contacts have all frozen on my phone atleast once

I don't know for sure if all ics phones do this, but I get a force close a dump is made on my phone of all kinds of information in it. Kinda like a windows mini dump when it gets a blue screen. I'm hoping this is just because these are test builds. If I had to bet, I would say that is why the fc process is taking so long though.

that makes a lot of sense. considering its a development build a memory dump and system log could explain the long wait
