Finally Paranoidrom works so far for my smartphone, but there is just one problem left.. The GPS doesn't work for me.. My phone can't find any GPS signal.. If I use some GPS apps, they also can't find a signal.

My problem is not the lag or connecting. But its staying connected. I use quick gps, then gps test, then I start up my gps program. I use TomTom, Garmin XT, and tested out google maps. When I connect the gps will work then it drops signal and garmin say lost gps signal. I have turned on gps test and all other programs off to see what happens and it drops signal and says looking for gps unit. Then it starts and drops. I tried soft reset and it happened again. I'm still messing with it to see if I can figure it out or if it is the phone. Does anyone know if there is some kind of software conflict or if something is causing the error. I have tried the gps programs with my bluetooth gps unit I use to use on my 8525 and it worked great. I really want to get this GPS working and be a little more reliable because this is one of the main reasons why I bought this phone.
AGPS is disabled?
No agps is enabled
Does anyone have any idea why this is occurring or anything I can try. I have updated to the latest garmin but it still doesn't work properly. I can connect sometimes and use the gps. But when trying to reconnect it gets satellites then drops them. On gps test it shows 3d like 8 satellite bars and saying starting gps then losses everything and says looking for gps then does the samething again over and over.
I still have a lag problem but:
Check that AGPS is off (Adv.Config. 3.3 is your friend)
Set polling through the COM interface to a lower speed (4800/9600/19200 max.)
Use GPS test
GO OUTSIDE
WAIT
I got lock with ANY radio though it may have taken up to 5 mins.
I get a lock but then it will lose signal. Or if I turn the gps off and try and lock on later it keeps cycling between looking for gps and gps starting but doesn't go to gps running just goes back to looking for gps
I have the same exact problem. Gps test will connect, then quickly lose connection. Tomtom and garmin will get a signal for a few seconds and then lose connection. This is all outside with a clear view of the sky. I've tried two different fuze's with multiple roms and radios and the problem is still there. I finally got fed up and went back to my e71. This is ridiculous in a $500 phone..
I was thinking about returning it but I did a search and I noticed this is a common problem. I thought it was mainly lag but I see there are several problems with this gps. That sucks because I was really looking forward to the internal gps coming from the 8525/herms. If I really need to get somewere I sill have to carry my bluetooth gps reciever. I 'm going to try some of the tweaks people have suggested and see if it helps.
I haven't used my GPS a ton, but the little I have, it has worked, as long as I am in the car or outside. When I am in the house, it rarely finds a signal. I think that the GPS radio is pretty weak, though generally you don't need GPS when inside of a building.

You mean NO lag?
Isn't GPSLOG = 0 disabling logging? BTW I also changed the registry using adv.cfg. to go to the SD card, not device

finally a thread about exactly my problem, you are not alone... im going to try disabling AGPS and logging, but i have in the past to no avail.... i have done a hard reset since then.
very annoying for such an expensive device
im thinking about getting an unlocked tmobile phone, i have AT&T if i use a sidekick 4g on edge will gps work fine?
GPS works even without an internet connection.
i just tried it my atrix GPS wont work without any internet connection same with mom's iphone 3gs and my brother's S2 (had wifi and internet off)
It's impossible, "you're doing it wrong"
The GPS antenna will work fine without internet. The applications that utilize the GPS function probably wont like maps which requires internet to download the directions. Any app that has all the necessary information installed on the phone to utilize the GPS like apps that record workout data for exercise: speed, altitude, direction, coordinates should work fine. Any other apps as long as your are connected to wifi should work fine too. Edge and GPS on my phone the galaxy s2 work fine and I have used it many times that way for navigation just took forever to load satellite maps.
ohhhh ok thanks webD and Syrusoo i know what i did wrong i turned off the satellite too, thanks again for the help, also thanks your meters lol
Hi,
I had my offline maps in Oruxmaps and went on a mountain trip. I tried GPS and it didn´t work, came back to the city, and with phone signal it worked. I tried with gpsfix and fasterfix also.
Is GPS supposed to work without phone signal?
I think I tried it a long time ago in Gingerbread, on airplane mode, and GPS worked perfectly.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I tried the GPS for the first time today. Its a 1hr drive, both my Google Maps & Waze couldn't lock any GPS signal throughout the way. Have anyone used the GPS in S7 and how is your experience?
I want to see if my device is having problem or its throughout all the devices.
Thanks.
I didn't calibrated the GPS before. I did calibrate the GPS and today its buttery smooth on the navigation.
Sorry, what do mean "calibrate GPS"? Either the GPS gets the signal or it doesn't, no?!
I got the signal now. If you don't know how to calibrate means check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeyDIu__SLY
Hello,
big problems with GPS. When i driving Car and the display is on the GPS war 80% stable, when the display is off the
GPS lost maybe all 2 minutes the signal but sometimes it coming back, sometimes not.
I allready switch off the power optimizer for this app, its not help.
Rom is 1909.193_0
GPS is M3.6.17.31-Kirin_770033
Any ideas ?
Greets, Peter
GPS does not seem to work when the display is off.
I tried running both Google Maps and the GPS status app while walking around looking for mushrooms in the forest.
Neither would update while the screen was off.
Tried tweaking all the usual settings.
Don't know if this is a Z6 problem or a Android problen, haven't tried this with any other phone yet.
This is not important for me, but might be useful on occasion.
I've seen in a lot of YouTube videos that our phone lacks in a good GPS signal.. not much satellites are connected in gps test
