Poor GPS signal on any rom? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I feel as if I've been having poor GPS on any rom, whether it be AOKP, CM or even Stock based. I've tried a few apps to know luck. Using Waze yesterday, it was dropping in and out as I was going down a highway. Currently I'm using Eclipse rom on my phone. And I've tried flashing roms with TWRP and CWM with the same results.
The only thing I'm doing differently is running a 4.2 gapps made for 4.1.2 roms, could this be causing the issue?
Or should I just go root66 and redo everything?

I experience the same issue with AOKP, CM, and stock roms. I can get a GPS lock if my phone is on the dashboard of my car, but it goes in and out if the phone is sitting on my lap. This makes it very difficult to use the S3 for turn by turn navigation. I haven't had any problems while running Eclipse though.

Try this! Worked for me. Found this somewhere on XDA
1. Download "GPS Test" from the play store
2. Turn on your GPS and open the app
3. Press the menu button and go to settings
4. Press "Clear AGPS" at the top (your phone might reboot)
5. After that go back to settings and "Update AGPS"
Or this (also worked for me - from some XDA post):
"like some of you, i too was having GPS lock issues. here's what i did which fixed it for me. can't guarantee anything, but might be worth your try.
go to application manager - click on 'mapservicesamsung' - force stop - back out then click on 'maps' - force stop - clear cache - clear data - reboot into recovery - wipe dalvik and cache - reboot.
hope this works for some of you also. my GPS has been locking within 5 secs since doing this, and it hasn't been that good since before flashing my first S3 rom back in july! =) "

Wow! The second one worked. I'm on a cm based ROM so it didn't have a the Samsung app. But I cleared the data for maps and cleared the data/cache and it worked! I even lock on inside my house.

GPS issues

My s3 has been acting funny lately.. the GPS seems a little wonky. I noticed when flashing a 4.2 rom.. my GPS seems to want to work..then just won't get lock on its own..I have to toggle GPS on/off to force it to work..and even then its not very solid. When I flash back to a 4.1 rom.. it seems to work. It gets lock on its own..but even then..I notice a strange inaccuracy.. I use My Tracks..a free GPS app..when running side by side with my tablet..the location seems weak on the phone..while driving in a straight line..it shows me on the other side of the highway..but near..not too fat away..then sometimes it seems on track. Now on the tablet..its dead nuts accurate.. showing me driving straight..not like I had a twelve pack first..lol..could formatting the SD card of damaged something? I wonder if all the flashing I do screwed something up..

My only fix
I have had the same problem. On CM10 my GPS works flawless but when I go to CM10.1 the GPS only works for an app if I toggle it inside the app. I have only found one fix so far for it to work in CM10.1.
Here's what I used from buhohitr (post):
Download the zip, unzip it, then copy the 2 files (gps.conf and certificate) to /system/etc of your device, reboot and try out your gps. Let me know how it goes. You must be rooted to do this.

I read on XDA, someone talked to a Verizon rep and said it's a VZW bug, not ROM/phone related. This worked for me, here's the fix:
Clear Data on Maps
Clear Data on Google Services Framework
Go to Location Services and turn OFF Verizon Location Services (leave other 2 ON)
Reboot Phone
You should now have GPS lock (hopefully)

If you can get into download mode, you're still OK - you just need to odin via PC. Check the MD5 and filesize of your root66.tar, if it's failing it's most likely a corrupt download. If they match and it still fails, what is the error message that comes up? Once you flash the stock img, get superuser and a custom recovery, and from there I hope you made a nandroid or can clean flash a new ROM. Hope this all helps.

Yeah, I've heard just Odin back to stock and then a clean flash can do the trick. I still recommend getting the app called GPS Status and downloading the aGPS Fix. Good luck!

Of course I spoke too soon when I look at the 3 choices under location settings it's missing the Verizon setting it actually only has 2 settings plus 1 location setting toggle at the top which activates the 2 at the bottom it's a different layout.. It's gone back to only working what I toggle it on and off again..
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Hmmmm that sounds like the ROM had changed the menu layout. The problem could be a ROM related issue. Have you checked if its been reported in its specific thread?
Also, go to Google Now (or Google Search), hit menu and go to settings. Check that Google's location services are on.
Lastly, I've heard about and seen better GPS with Wifi turned on, even if you're not connected. Try that too.
Sent via SGS3 using Tapatalk
What worked for me 100% is the app called GPS Status & Toolbox. Worked flawless. I have zero issues and locks solid in less than 20 seconds. That is the longest, usually 5 seconds is normal for me. Program runs when outage GPS enabled and running google maps.
I have tried them..just doesnt work unless i toggle gps on/off..lol..but its strange I can go back to 4.1 and gps works fine... All 4.2 ROMs give me the same issue..the GPS works fine..just doesnt start up on its own when I start maps or something.. I have go toggle GPS..then it works..that goes for any GPS app..just like the one u are talking about..it sounds like your GPS was indeed coming on at least..just weak..my icon doesn't start unless I toggle it after starting GPS app of choice..

[Q] Glorious Overdose V5 crashing processes

Downloaded this ROM from the second link. Thought it was a bad download, as it would go through all the setup but it seems to install just fine, but when the phone reboots, the phone process immediately crashes, can't set any accounts (accounts crash), keyboard crashes, etc. Not sure what I'm hitting wrong, I've downloaded it again, wiped cache/reset, wiped dalvik, install just the rom first, set permissions, reboot into recovery, run again, install all software (launcher, factory apps, etc), but they still manage to crash (especially phone so I get no data unless connected to wifi).
Any advice? Thanks in advance
I believe thereis an issue with wifi calling, need to look into this, see if all works when not installing this, well try wiping, flashing rom only, then go back in aroma and flash anything but the removed from stock stuff. Hopefully this will be fixed soon

I absolutely LOVE this rom. I got over the .phone crashing as it doesnt effect me much it seems just crashes twice on start-up and thats it. I didnt download wifi calling and it still crashes for me. But this is seriously otherwise the best rom ive ever used. Many kudos.
Yeah. I'm having the same problem too. Basically, the phone won't work. Everything just crashes. I hope they make a fix really soon. I love this ROM.
I find it weird that GO is the SLOWEST out of any roms I've tried...and even though I don't like it, stock isn't as bad as I thought - just has bad bloat. GO has chrashed even more than stock has, but after I just did a clean stock, its faster and both previous experiences....

GPS problem cm10.2 8/7 nightly

Hello
I have issues using Waze as GPS. The GPS appears working But when I start to navigate it works for 5 minutes then GPS doesnt work anymore until a fresh boot on any other APP or WAZE....
is anyone experiencing this problems??
Thanks

Today going to work i made a test using google mapa. I start to navigate GPS works OK, but when it go for 5 minutes the GPS icon on the bar status desapear and the GPS goês stuck. I tried cm 10.1 and I have same problema.

Hi mate,
I've been using CM10.1 since beginning. I only tested 10.2 but it's not my DD cause I like Acid Audio with Noozxoide and it's not compatible with 4.3 yet.
Since July builds I'm noting strange behavior related to GPS... Maybe this apply to your case too using 10.2...
I realised that when I charge through any USB port, GPS brakes. Running Waze for a feel minutes and hangs phone completely. I have to reboot, wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions. This procedure brings Waze back to life. I run Waze about 3hrs a day, every day, together with bluetooth audio in my car. Everything runs perfect until due to any reason I need to connect phone to a PC USB port again. It only occurs when connected to a PC USB port. With wall charger or car charger, always fine.
Despite dirty flash or clean rom install, this pattern occurs. I flashed official 09/08 CM10.1 yesterday and got the same issue. Maybe it's something with kernel Razrteam didn't passed through yet.
It took me days to perceive that, as everything was fine for 5...6 days and suddenly and without messing with anything the issue started from sudden. I realised the only different thing I've been doing before the hang was charging phone at work through PC.
Hope this experience can help you detect something there!
I tried to use the latest nightly from cm site and it didn't stuck in google maps but it still stuck the GPS in waze and i need to do a fresh boot. Im doing another tests i post in advance

NP! If nothing fix it, if you have a nandroid backup of a Motorola 4.1.2 flash it and get a GPS lock using your preferred app then do a fresh install of a CM10.1. (with a factory reset wipe). GPS will work fine. But if you do this, don't forget to backup everything as you 'll loose data.
I don´t know how to do this gps lock with nandroid, but i tried others nightlys roms, and the problems still remains!!!
I saw in the CM10.2 post thread, and other users have the same problem.
THanks again!!

Currently I am running the Hyperdrive ROM 13.0.0 and today my phone is really acting up. The power button is unresponsive. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue or what. It just randomly became unresponsive. When I try to boot into recovery or download mode, the screen will pop up for literally one second and then the phone will cut off. So booting into recovery and/or download mode is a no go. The only way I can get it to boot all the way back up is if I pull the battery out and then put it back in and then hold the volume down button and the home button and then quickly hit volume down to cancel the download mode operation and then the phone restarts and reboots all the way.
Also, when trying to send text messages, it always says failed to send message and yet the message still goes through because the person I am texting always responds to the message that supposedly failed.
I was wanting to update to Hyperdrive 16 but now I just want to restore my phone to working order. Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Incoming call volume ringer not working
I had previously had the RLS15 rom and it worked great for about a month then all of a sudden my ringer stopped working. Every other sound works. My notifications and media works just fine. So i was forced to flash back to stock rom. I was really disappointed because i love this rom. Then when the RLS16 rom came out i was really hoping this would fix my issue but it didnt. I really dont want to go back to another rom to have my ringer volume work again.

hyperdrive rls16
Have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and followed Roms install instructions: 1.Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version Rls 16
2. Reboot into Recovery
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice
4. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Install Rom
6. Reboot.
But when phone reboots it loads and gets to the language screen and then will reboot and will do that over and over. Have tried it several times and same result did not have that problem with Rls 15. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
GPS Fails to Lock (SCH-I535)
First of all, thank you to SBreen for your hard work on this ROM!
I just updated to RLS16 (standard kernel) hoping that it would fix my GPS and google Maps issues, but no luck so far. Below are the methods I have tried in my attempt to fix the GPS:
1) Clean ROM install (four times) including formatting all user/system data, wiping Dalvik cache, etc.
2) Fix Permissions from Clockwork Recovery (countless times)
3) Clearing all app data for google applications, including deleting velvet.apk from system and re-installing through the play store (and using standalone .apks)
4) Tightening the screws on the back of my S3
5) Enabling all location service providers
6) Removing Hyperdrive and restoring to the original ROM (yuck!) restores GPS functionality, so I know it's not physically broken.
I love everything about this ROM with the sole exception of the lack of GPS functionality. Google Maps is currently unusable, and GPS Status will run for hours without acquiring a lock, even with the phone in a stationary position in high-reception areas.
Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated, thanks!
After flashing, were you able to let the phone sit for 5-10 minutes before rebooting and setting it up? I found this crucial to getting the GPS to work...

Wifi Automatically turning on
So far so good on rls16. Its great work, and I am digging all the great features and customization options. Performance is smooth. One issue though, which has plagued me on rls15 as well...
My WiFi keeps automatically turning itself on. It happens when the screen is off and has been sitting on my desk for a while, also happens while I am using it. I believe it is supposed to turn on and then off when downloading mms data, but that is not the case here. It wouldn't be an issue, except it is connecting me to the open network here in my office, which I need to sign into on a web interface every time I connect. The WiFi signal is very, very poor so I prefer not to connect. Any ideas?
Thanks!
RLS16 problem
I have been using rls15 with no problem except for the initial install with the Samsung activation. I love your builds they really bring out the capabilities of the device. I updated to RLS16 and the activation problem came back and also I'm now having sms problems. It works well for so long then it starts returning messages saying they failed. I've flashed and wiped 4 times before the install of rom and have tried to install the fix. Still no solution. Any advice? I'm also using att i747
Boot Animation
First, I would like to congratulate you for this wonderful ROM.
Only trouble is; unable to customize the boot animation. I've tried a few applications, but none were successful.
I will appreciate you help. Thank you.

Shouldn't be any reason you couldn't use TWRP. I'm pretty sure nard himself uses it. The CWM was a CM project for a long time, and still the recovery built within it. Everyone pushes their stuff.
been running M7 for about a day now. had one fc with touchdown, my work email client, but otherwise looks good. surprised i had to manually change build.prop to set the dpi. i'm not blind, so i hate the trend towards gigantic fonts even on smallish screens like this one.
i also wasn't able to use tibu to restore securid from my old phone (vzw droid4) but i suspect that app uses some system properties like imei to create its security, so it can't be moved... not a problem. just have to do clean in stall and reimport the token.
one thing i noticed even in cm11m2 on my d4 as well as on this phone in cm11m7 is that the included sms app doesn't actually have a dark theme, and that sticks out like a sore thumb. even when you check the box for dark theme in the sms app itself, it's still white. not a huge deal obviously but doesn't match the rest of cm's normal polish.

The "use dark theme" option only applies to the quick reply pop up windows. The option is conveniently listed in the "quick reply" section.

doh, you're right. my point still stands about messaging not matching the rest of cm's theming. i guess they expect people to just use chomp, go, handcent or whatever other app... i like the standard one in cm tho. except for how light it is.
What did change from the blobs for the builds after 14 /06 ?
Running 14/06 now, really good, battery charging issues are gone (i think), because a new kernel/other blobs.
Where can you find more info about blobs changes (propetary) ?

which build are you on? i'm running cm11-20140608-Snapshot-M7 (which is 4.4.2, not 4.3.3) and have no issues to report so far. i haven't given it a full shakedown yet - still haven't tried BT or GPS but so far so good. watched netflix on the bus this morning and never had an issue. my wife and i text a lot and haven't had issues w/ that either. this evening i'm going to try out BT with my elm327 obd-ii adapter and if i have time, test audio over an avantree cara adapter. i started google maps a couple times and it found me quickly and accurately but i haven't run gps for more than a minute or so at a time so i don't know how it'll do. maybe i'll turn it on while on the bus this afternoon and see if it works well for the whole ride home.

Where can you find more info about blobs changes (propetary) ?

After a few minutes of playing with the CM M5 smartphone burned and became slow. Now the smartphone with the stock firmware does not burn more but it is slow. It works well this M7? You recommended me?
For a few months I used CM kitkat but I had to do a wipe. Now I do not know how to install the CM. I'm using the stock firmware.
To install:
1 rooted smartphone.
2 I copy "cm-11-20140608-SNAPSHOT-M7-apexqtmo.zip" in memory of the smartphone.
3 CWM 6.0.1.2 "install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard" I select "cm-11-20140608-SNAPSHOT-M7-apexqtmo.zip"
4 updates fail
What I'm wrong?
thanks for the help

First, use the most up-to-date recovery; I'm pretty sure that cwm 6.0.1.2 isn't it if I see 6.0.4.7 on other devices. I like using TWRP personally, and there's a thread in this forum for that. The outdated recovery is probably the main problem right there for the failed flash.
Second, it doesn't look like you wiped anything in your steps. No factory reset, not even wiping cache and dalvik. Most people do a clean flash (that's a factory reset in recovery) when troubleshooting a failure to install a custom ROM.
Try using the latest recovery, wiping at least cache and dalvik, and see if it helps.
Good luck

i second this. my steps were:
1- boot to download mode, install twrp
2- boot to recovery, flash CM
3- while still in recovery, flash gapps if you want them (make sure you have the correct version of gapps from the CM site)
4- still in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik
5- still in recovery, do factory reset
6- reboot normally (it's called 'system' in twrp) and start using phone
note that there is no need to copy/flash SU at any time because CM is already rooted.
using nightly 22/06 my phone slowed down to unusable slow, flashed 24/06 yesterday.
Never had this before on cm nightly's for the relay.
And the charging (usb) problems aren't over yet (sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes a few minutes).
Did a clean install a week ago (didn't solve anything).

Ok. Now, find out what version of cpu you have and get some logs to help them track down your problems.
There's a search box in the corner.
I don't have any of the problems you are describing and I am betting the developers do not, either.

Which nightly?
Are you on T-Mo? Are you using a third party messenging app?
Did you wipe your data and cache before you flashed?

I am on T-Mo, I get this via the default android messaging app as well as hangouts, but I also have times where mobile data refuses to work as well.
Right now, I'm having this issue on 11-20140608-Snapshot-M7-apexqtmo. I did wipe data and cache before I flashed. I'm not sure what is causing my issue.
I am tempted to reflash it back to factory, and take it back under my total care and get it replaced for a S5, but I really like my keyboard. :crying:
did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom? the only quirk i've noticed on m7 is that if i don't reboot every couple of days, my work email program (touchdown) likes to get slow and crashy while composing emails. going to the recent apps drawer and closing everything there usually fixes that. gps and bluetooth work fine even at the same time and battery life is great. after having tried multiple roms on my droid4 and having gps and camera issues, i am pleasently susprised how stable cm is on this relay (which i've only had a couple weeks now).

I even tried that too. My phone's about a year and a half old now. I've noticed recently if the keyboard is out, or i'm holding the phone sideways, and I get a call, the phone app crashes over and over till i rotate it upward so the display is vertical, then it stops crashing(all while the phone is still ringing so I can still answer it.)
