GPS Fix?

Hello,
I have a problem with my galaxy s6, It can't find a gps signal. I have used google maps to test it but it doesn't work. When I have bought my phone it was working perfect but since I have rooted my phone and installed a custom rom the gps is broken. I use the XtreStoLite rom.
Can anyone help me?

Go to Settings-Privacy and Safety-Location-Locating Method. Choose GPS, wifi and mobile network.

I have this problem too, but let me explain my situation. I have two Galaxy S6s.
1st non-root phone had this issue of GPS not being able to hold on fix. i used many different firmwares ranging from UK, UAE, France and Malaysia OFFICIAL FIRMWARES but they still didn't help iron out the issue. I then used smart switch to restore back to official ROM for my phone (Malaysia). I put the phone into download mode, used Smart Switch PC, selected emergency firmware recovery and installation, input my device number and serial number, then downloaded the ROM back into my phone, then after a week or so, my phone was back to normal (good GPS lock). I suspect it's the Baseband/modem issue (Every country has it's own baseband to work perfectly in)
2nd rooted phone on XstreStoLite V2.2. I realize that this phone also had the problem. but i still cannot fathom what is the problem. Could be the baseband that's not localized. But anyhow i use my non-rooted phone for GPS navigation. Could be you need to use it more often for it to run in first.

I have this problem too did you find a solution? I'm on xtrestolite 2.2 too

i believe the modem and bootloader affects the GPS because it's how your phone connects to the network. I have just tried the COH2 firmware on my non-rooted phone, and the GPS works like a charm!

I will try COH2 but I'm from Portugal and firmware COH2 is France. No problem? Whats your bootloader and modem?

I strongly suggest you wait for the COH2 ROM first, if you still think you GPS antenna has a defect, you can change your rear case at Samsung Service Centre (Which i did with my phone)

Same problem as u. but found solution
Try this out. Stupid as hell but worked for me
I got the same problem but after looking for 5 hours. I just ah what a hell. I removed my aluminium cover. Observe its cut out for the gps antenna and main antenna in the back. And voila. Gps test found 28 sattelites and locked right away. Then put the cover back on. NOTHING. So it seems some covers disturb the antennas. But i still feel its strange as the cut out in back. So perhaps it still disturbs it when something is next to it. Let me know if it worked for u too. To remove your cover. Best regards from sweden.

Hello my friend, I don't have any cover in my phone. Is GPS defect for sure.

Always on display

I just bought an s7 flat, rooted and installed xposed. Is there any way to disable automatically always on display when the phone is in my pocket?

No related link with your question, but does it fix lag in games?

Hi mate
I guess you disabled it from settings already....and the option "keep screen turned off" is on?
And what xposed module did you install?

That option is on, but AOD won't turn off. The modules I have are YouTube adaway and gravity box.

Mate you know Gravity Box is incompatible with touchwiz?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v6-0-0-tweak-box-android-t3251148
So in summary:
- this module is designed to run on vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android 6 (AOSP)
- supports "Google devices" like Nexus, HTC One Google play edition, and others running vanilla Android 6
- Samsung Touchwiz, HTC Sense, MIUI, LeWa, Xperia, Lenovo, etc. are NOT supported. It is not guaranteed this module will work on these at all so try at your own risk. This module is simply too complex to support all kind of ROM brands that were vastly modified by vendors.
Maybe that is the problem.........

I know that, but I know what I'm doing and I just used status bar tweaks and had no FC or reboots...

Why dont you freeze aod service in titanium before you put it in your pocket no big deal

It makes sense on a table, not inside my pocket ?

Try this. It is made for another phone. But since it involves modification of systemui it might work. And let us know the result
