[Q] gps wont lock? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Running Galaxymod 14.1. I don't think I had this problem before this ROM but my GPS won't find me. Uninstalled maps, earth and street view. Cycled all 3 location permissions on and off, toggled GPS on and off multiple times, restarted the phone at least 5 times. Reinstalled maps, still can't "find my location". Cleared cache for Google services... Probably other things too I just can't remember.
Any suggestions? Is it me, GalaxyMod, or Google Services?

It isn't the ROM, I am running it and it is working great. If you will search the forums, there is an app that people were downloading and fixing the same problem that you are having. It is GPS something, I can't remember.

Maps app not showing actual maps

Very strange issue. D850 with stock 21R and Google Maps will not show any map.
Just gray background and my location identifier. I can go to maps.google.com in browser on phone and it works perfectly but no joy with the app. (Waze shows its maps fine, BTW). I have cleared cache and data, rolled back update and reinstalled, forced stop and disabled and all imaginable combinations of those. I think I just have a bad APK or something. Other Google service work fine and GPS is working (according to Car Home speedo and Waze, etc.) but this damn app is not working. I have googled the question and read through dozens of pages of things that do not apply.
Any ideas?
Sorry, wrong area. Posting in Q&A now.

Google maps no longer shows map

Unbelievable! After another hour or so of waiting, it actually started showing again.
WTF, Google?

Google Location History just stopped working

Hi guys,
I have a Moto G4 Plus, running stock OS but rooted. I've recently noticed that out of nothing, the Location History feature stopped tracking my locations. Now let's be clear about these things:
1. Location is enabled. Google Maps shows and tracks my location perfectly. GPS Test Plus shows a myriad of satellites. Location IS working.
2. Location History is also enabled.
3. My device, inside Location History, is also enabled, but it says "Location last reported: Sep 29th".
So far I've tried removing and reinstalling Google Maps and erasing the cache partition. Can't think of anything else. I've searched on the net and seems to have affected several people but can't find a solution, and I don't want to do a factory reset.
Anyone here experienced the same?
Thanks!!!

Compass not working and GPS only working for Google Maps

My XZ Premium has the 47.2.A.10.107 build on it.
The Compass has stopped working and any GPS apps I use, apart from Google Maps, never find a GPS signal (GPS Status, GPS Test, Waze)
I find it odd that Google Maps will still work without issue though.
I have tried turning on and off 'Wi-Fi scanning' and 'Bluetooth Scanning' from within 'Locations Services'
Anyone have any ideas?

G8142 on 47.2.A.11.228, currently having the exact same issue.
What i have tried:
Using a different GPS.conf No good.
Unrestrict Locationservices battery usage No good
Clearing apk data and cache No good
*#*#7378423#*#* No good
Feels like a hardare issue to me.

inaccurate GPS data after using FakeLocation app

Hello, I spoofed my location with FakeLocation app prior my trip to somewhere. So I'm not sure if my problem related with spoofing or not, because I actually visited that place for couple days.
Google Maps shows the location I spoofed first then after couple seconds shows my real location. İf I close/open app it happens again. Yandex Map stucks on wrong location permanetly. I searched on the forum and Google before posting this thread and tried all of the solutions recommended. I'm trying to fix this over 2 weeks now.
I turned off Mocked Location on developer setttings
I deleted app data/cache uninstalled/installed Google Maps
I deleted app data/cache of Google Play
I tried to deleted Google Location History (it was turned of already)
I opened/closed High accuracy/Wifi/Bluetooth Scans
I tried to reset A-GPS data with GPS Status App and GPS Locker
I wiped dalvik/cache on TWRP
I installed lastest Eurom for my phone
+GpsFİx Apps shows
Android GPS Provider - Spoofed Location
Android Network Provider - Spoofed Location
Google Play Services - Real Location
+CIT GPS test (Hardware Test) Passes with Real Location
I feel like I tried evertyhing except factory resetting. Do you have any recommendations?
