Once you have a lock do you have any issues with stability, losing it etc?

I'm actually having this problem as well with bionix frost. Everything else works flawlessly.

I think I'm gonna apply the old fix later and it should work ok. I'll post the result regardless.

I applied the sgstools fix, enabled the gps, but nav still would not lock on. So I opened maps, let it find my location and settle in until it was accurate, the opened up navigation and it worked fine... No more "Searching for GPS"
Might work for you also...and it's an easy fix.

I see that other people in the black ice thread are having the same problem but I can't share your fix with them as I don't have enough posts for permission in the developer theads...would you share this with them? Thanks again

i searched for sgs tools on the market and it only came up with the capitavate sgs tools. is this the program which you guys are using?
That is correct

Hmm. This fix worked for a few minutes, but when I restart the phone, no more gps lock/navigation. Weird. Thanks for the info.

i followed the instructions using launcher pro and set it to "auto" and it seemed to work. i still have to wait a while to get a lock sometimes, but thats tmobiles fault. they suck in my area. hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
EDIT: It only works once. does anyone else have the locking problem for bionix frost? i can try to reflash my phone and see if that fixes it.

It always fc on me but only when I was logged in and tried opening a thread. If your not logged in you can view all threads fine but can't post and stuff...since your not logged in.
any ways, the premium app works perfect, spend the few bucks, support the forum we all love and have no worries

Same here. After logging in it force closes. I am able to browse as a guest. Maybe a problem with the App that will get solved soon with an update. I was worried it was my TF as it was new....
It's a known issue with the free app on tablets. The paid app works well.

+1 paid app works well.
im sure the paid app does work well, but doesnt exactly inspire confidence to buy it when the free one doesnt!
I can also vouch for the paid app faster better and gets more updates
The way i justified buying it i use it everyday

Does the free version work on other Honeycomb tablets? Or is it just characteristic to the Transformer? =P
Hey I was reading earlier about the possibility of being tracked if you let someone use your phone since they can install a tracking app that could use your GPS without you knowing.so my question is, assuming that they already installed a spying app, could it use my GPS without having the GPS icon displayed in my notification bar?

Yes my device has seemed flawless until driving home tonite and the gps showed tight link but navigation was way off because it had me jumping around about 2000m off actual location.

I literally just drove to Boston and back. Gps is accurate as it can be. No problems here. And I'm a cab driver so I use it pretty often.

I am providing this link and you can decide yourselves what you want to do. According to the thread, the S4 is not listed under the "supported phones" list, however, the OP of this thread I am listing states that if you Email him, he will consider porting support. It already works for the S3 and many other devices so it shouldn't take much if anything to make it work with the S4. I suggest you read the entire thread before trying anything or asking questions. Maybe this will help:

You might also consider an App such as "GPS Status and toolbox" from the Play Store. It might help.
Did you install the update?

I just downloaded the app gps status test and fix from play store and it looks to have totally fixed the problem for me

i am on the new update and the GPS inaccuracy happened for me in a LTE area. how many of you with this problem are in a LTE area when this happens?
maybe in that time, your device only accees the AGPS to get your location.and hold on when phone find the gps satellite you will get the most nearst location
I'm in an LTE area and my gps has been flawless to within 5 meters, before and after the update.

Yeah it's due to location. Turn location off until you need it.

Well you have 2 options. Live with the battery drain or turn off location. Unless Google foxes it in a future android update that is the only way. Also I think Googles device manager will turn on location automatically as long as it is connected to Internet.
