Hello everyone.
I've been checking something and it looks lik my geolocalization via 3G networks is broken.
I'm running stock unrooted.
I have H / 3G full bars.
I have geolocalization turned on, battery saving settings as the GPS would not locate me in the building and also because I do not want a 10 feet pinpoint nor turn by turn navigation, so battery saving is exacly what I need.
I also have location publishing turned on.
Yet Maps or Tasker are completely unable to locate me....:crying:

Without touching anything it's working again....bah....
Not working once again....sigh....
Actually it's even worse today, when i press the locate me icon it doesn't say unable to locate me, it thinks that Im at work, but I'm not since 3 hours and 50 kilometers...
After a reboot it finds me...how can I check what was messed up? Kinda worrying considering that I've all stock unrooted...
Am I the only one with localization issues over 3g?...

Look at the screenshot below. The one on top is the norm and everything is nice and dandy. However, randomly at times, the 3G icon will invert to the logo below. When this happens, no one can call me and I cannot make any calls. I cannot find anything that triggers this and I don't know where to find support.

This thing can be "fixed" but turning off the phone and turning it on again in Comm Manager or a soft reset but there's no telling when it will happen again. It has caused me some headaches because urgent calls cannot get through to me.
My phone is a HTC Touch 3G (Jade) but the icon seems like a Windows Mobile icon so I've posted it here instead of the Jade forum.
Does anyone know anything about this? This is the stock ROM that came with the Jade.

Do you use GpsFix to facilitate & speed up your gps satellite fixation ?
if the answer is YES so I'm sorry that you have to remove it now.
As the program in its update became a spam, putting an ad on the home screen as reported by users.
But the problem with me was a whole different story, more annoyingly critical.
I'm usually not connected to internet turning off my my mobile data, lately my phone (HTC DESIRE S) became crazy with its screen turning on & off by itself frequently draining my battery in horrible manner.
After days of searching for the cause with removing a lot a lot of programs till i knew the cause (thank god before factory data resetting) that was the GpsFix.
The good thing that every thing works normal again.

Dear forumers, I'm having a problem turning on my location settings of my Motorola Atrix 2. Before this everything was fine, till I transfer all of my old SD contents to the new one I bought. After switching on the phone on my new SD, the GPS and WIFI location service are inaccessible. I remembered it pops up a box asking "Google will take the location information for something something" and I pressed disagree. Now when I tried to swipe the OFF button towards ON, it will force itself to the OFF position no matter what I tried. Clearing the 'Settings' data in Apps failed too.
So now I could not access it anymore. I even tried turning the GPS on using widgets and apps(that require me to turn on location) but to no avail. My phone is the Atrix 2, with customROM slimkat 4.4. Kindly help, thank you.

You're probably thinking "Turn off 'Always Scanning'"
Well, that's not it.
I noticed this issue in the developer preview, and I thought it was part of the wifi bug that held up release. Well, after coming across a Reddit post, it seems it's affecting at least one other person in the official image as well as me still.
Wifi is off:

}
Always scanning is off:
And I even tried to toggle Wifi on while sleeping to never.
Battery stats shows Wifi on the entire time (the sliver of 'off' you see is a reboot.):
I disabled location and bluetooth, thinking there might be an app tied to either of those that is keeping wifi alive, for location reasons or other. Is anyone else seeing this, or have any ideas?
Same issue, not a huge one tho cuz it doesnt effect my batterylife.
I couldn't use my rog 5 for nevigation since half year ago. I have turned on high accuracy mode on google map but my phone could only recognise my position if i stop moving for a period of time. I took my phone to local phone store for checking and they said there is no hardware problem. (I am not sure about that) Is there anyone facing the same problem with me?
I have checked my gps function via the app gps test. Attached please find the results. Is it very rare that i can only view certain types of satellite and the signals are extremely weak?
I tried to update my phone to most current firmware (Version WW-31.0810.1226.91) but that didn't help.
I also follow the guide posted by johhny and repair my phone via edl firmware ( my phone is changed form CN to WW before i bought it). The problem is still there.
Is there any method that i can safe my gps on my phone??? Hope that someone can help me! Thanks!!!
