Please forgive me if this has been asked and solved before. I'm having a problem with GPS locking on this rom only. I tried updating the GPS config file but had no luck locking on. I'm in an area where with other roms I can typically lock onto about 7 or 8 satellites. Any help is greatly appreciated!
You tried gps fix or a-gps apps from the play store?

^this. It took me a few seconds but I was able to pick up around 10 or so satellites when I walked out just now without gps fix or any other app like that.

I did try using GPS Status to "reset" the GPS. It did VERY briefly find two satellites and then they disappeared. I've tried re-downloading the rom, wiping, etc. with no luck. I'm just bummed out cause I really like this rom but no GPS is a no-go for me.
Gps works. Try more apps. Get a fresh download. There are always more things to try.

Thanks guys it is working. While I'm here can I add any T-Mobile wifi calling app for ICS to this rom?

You said it works..are you using an app from the app store, or is it working from the Rom itself? It's my favorite Rom but I rarely use GPS. I just wanna know in case I decide to use it.

I did download GPS Status from the Play Store and I use navigation daily so it's pretty important to me. I don't know why sometimes it seems to see less or more in the same location but I used the turn by turn directions last night just fine. I'll let everyone know if I see any changes but right now it seems good.
I also flashed the Wi-Fi calling and it's working out, thank you. Looking forward to your future projects!

I've been having major issues with the GPS on my Inspire. I've tried multiple fixes and methods of locking on, and still nothing!
But then today, I tried using that Google Car Home app that includes GPS that you eventually have to pay for (after the trial period is over). When I used that, I was able to navigate decently, still not great, but good enough.
I've tried checking to see if there were any updates for Google Maps or the navigator, and I supposedly have the latest.
Anyone else have similar problems?
Have you tried the GPS fix created by AngelDeath?

I've also used AD's fix and my results were great. I went from 3-4 mins for a lock outside down to 3-9 secs for a lock. I flashed the North America v1.0 zip since I travel a lot for work across country. I've only tested in my home area (Chicago), but from what I've read it works great everywhere else too.

Yeah I've tried that and I got the same results. The fact that the other GPS app was working fairly well leads me to believe the problem lies with Google Navigation...? It doesn't make sense why that would be messed up though. I've tried reinstalling it, I've tried stock, I've tried three different ROMs, still same results.

Is there a revert file for this fix? I tried it and my gps went from fairly good to pretty bad...

I think the only way would be to restore from a backup. I don't think AD has a revert.
running Singh ROM and no WiFi calling app.
Would love to have it.
Any link to download and flash?
Thank you!
Look around and it probably wont work that's why he doesn't include it. It is a weird known issue about 98% of the users can not get wifi calling to work on an miui rom, if it does work a reboot kills it or you have to have an old sim card.

You can try to install it from the bloated app by romanbb in the themes and apps section.
Give it a shot, it might work

So at work we have 3 AP's and at home I have 2. I have to disable WiFi and the enable to get it to grab the strongest one. They are all the same SSID's as they are extenders. I have avoid poor connections checked in advanced wifi settings but it doesnt make any difference. Is there an app that can auto do this or something else I can do? Im on latest nightly of CM10.1 Thanks in advance
Of course an app can fix a problem like this. I searched play store and found wifi jumper 0.99€ and smart wifi which is free. Try them out and let us know. Btw and if the paid app isn't much brighter then the free app, you get your money back if you uninstall it in 15 minutes

Thanks for the reply. Unless I am looking at the wrong apps, this is not what I need. I need one to switch from a weaker AP to a stronger AP that is in the same building. Those that you mentioned are "battery saving" apps.
But in both app description says automatically connects to strongest AP. So did you even try out?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
For me it automatically switches to the strongest AP. I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4.

Can you link me the free one please. The one that you said is free is $1.99
Free one didn't work. Sees the ap but doesn't auto switch.

Every time i enable GPS i get the confirm box. Can i confirm that bleeping thing and have the phone remember so not to bother me again.
Normally i leave it off but a new ap i downloaded wont work without it enabled.
GPS On ... confirm, GPS On ... confirm, GPS On ... confirm... Use app. Turn off GPS.

You can use the Android Power widget to enable GPS without the confirmation.
Does that turn on all 3 GPSs or just one. Btw what's the difference in the 3.

Assuming this is just because you are on a ROM... just drop the widget where you want it and reboot and the buttons will appear
If you are using Tweakd then the stock widget wont display properly for some reason. On stock it just turns on the Standalone GPS services. You'll need to manually do the VZW and Google service.
then I guess I'm stuck with the phone the way it is. BTW, I thought Tweaked was the only ROM out there for those of us that have the latest OTA. If I am wrong, what are the alternatives?
The GPS toggle in the notification pulldown turns GPS on without the confirmation.

Not the Verizon or Google GPSs.
Just FYI the verizon location service doesn't do anything unless you are using VZ navigator. The google location service is what estimates your location using cell towers and wifi. GPS is the precision location used for satellites.
If you have an app that needs location to work, then see if it needs a rough or exact location. You probably only need to turn one of those on.
I just leave VZW and Google location services on. Yeah maybe they can keep track of my location but their intentions are pretty benign.

Hey everyone, hope someone can help.
I love Google now, and use it every day. But I've been getting an annoying issue constantly.
I'm getting commute cards coming up all the time saying I'm 39 minutes away, 45 minutes away etc... from my home location. I did some closer looking and noticed that its not getting my correct location. Google Now (and Google maps) seems to think I'm elsewhere, when I'm actually at home. I also noticed that when launching Google maps, it shows the wrong location on boot, then fixes to my GPS location.
I'm annoyed by this because it use to work perfect a couple weeks back, and that I use this on a daily basis for bus route times. I can't use it now because its giving me bus routes and times from the location Google thinks I'm at.
Here's some information about my phone:
- Liquid ROM
- Latest Google Search from Play Store
- Wi-Fi off, GPS on, Data on.
Hope someone can help me out.

I use GPS Test https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
(Actually I bought the Plus version for $3 because I use it a lot.)
Also, I found that when roaming, it doesn't seem to pick up location from cell networks. (I have data roaming disabled.)

It has the options to Clear and/or Update AGPS too.
Edit: ..and it looks nicer, but that's a matter of opinion/taste..

It is enabled.
After doing some research, many people are saying that using WiFi will help out pinning my location.
So for my next test, im turning on WiFi, and disabling background location reporting. I found that background location reporting didn't do anything different to my Google Now data, and was a big battery drainer, making Google maps the top app draining my battery even though it wasn't being used.
