Was wondering if anyone else is having GPS problems.
1. GPS reception is bad unless conditions are perfect. Even trees will block my signal.
2. Google maps will often go crazy because of this.
Anyone else? Is this a known thing?
Thanks!

I had a Nexus One for ages (still do) and that seems fine.
But on my new Sensation after the new Maps update although it "works" it no longer switches into car view mode that shows you the road ahead and stays as a map navigation system - the view is only from above.
Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Typically that means it can't get a GPS fix. Does the GPS icon indicate a fix? It could be bad luck with the location...
No it has a GPS fix. As far as I can tell.
sup xda..
I've been experiencing a fault which I couldn't find on any other threads, but if I'm missing it please direct me to it.
First thing's first... I've been running CM10 stable, tried the default radio and various others.
So this is what happens - turn on navigation or maps, and it'll work for a moment, give me directions and locate me. 10-15seconds later, my position on the map has frozen and "GPS signal lost" is muttered. Reception on 4G and any network connection is lost as well. It'll stay out of action for about a minute, then pick it up again, and the whole failure starts over.
As mentioned ive tried various radios, the symptoms are the same.
I've tried a clean slate of CM10, the various nightlies etc to no avail, same problem.
Today I tried RebelROM (02122013.. android 4.1.1) - no issues! So I ask...
Has anyone else had this problem? Why might I be experiencing this on CM and not another ROM?
thanks
No one huh . Oh well I guess I'm one in a million.
I don't seem to recall this occuring with ICS, but it seems like the GPS in the phone fails to become enabled about 25% of the time I use apps that should be using the GPS. Doesn't matter what app, but a reboot always seems to cure the issue. Is this a known problem with the i535?
Any suggestions to resolving this without a reboot would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Does nobody have this problem? Is there something wrong with the hardware in my phone?
I put a post on the CM forums about this but got no response. Surely I am not the only person with this problem... If anyone running CM10.1 does or does not have this problem please post.... thanks..
Thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/73944-networklocation-only-works-on-wifi/
I have no idea where to post this so I am just putting it out there in the general area, as it isn't device specific at all. I have been Googling this for a while too but I cant find much reference to anyone else having the same problem.
The problem is:
When WiFi is OFF ONLY Google Maps can get a location from NetworkLocation (basically, cell towers). Nothing else will get a location.
When WiFi is ON Google Maps AND all other apps (Weather Widgets, cLock Widget, etc) get network-based location.
Please note having traditional GPS switched on or off makes no difference, When GPS is on and fixed it works great, no issues at all with normal GPS, this is only related to Network Location Provider (NetworkLocation.apk).
Its annoying as it means I have to keep GPS enabled, and it has to fix every time I want to update my weather widgets, as I cant ask them to use network location as I never use Wifi! And the whole point of it is that it updates when im out and about, not at home on my hotspot.
I just want to know at this stage, does anyone else actually have this problem? Or is it a known bug that I just did not stumble on after hours on Google...? I would track it down but I got no idea where to start.
Observations:
LG Optimus 2X, CM7, This problem does not exist!
LG Optimus 2X CM10.1, This problem exists.
Sony Xperia Z CM10.1, This problem exists.
This is using the latest offical GAPPS package from goo.im.
Tried play store 4.1.6 & 4.1.10 and also previous versions. No difference.
I am trying to find out if: its a cm10.1 bug, a gapps (networklocation.apk) bug or a jellybean bug.

Hi folks, I have been facing a bit of an issue in using Navigation on Maps. I have reason to believe this is happening in mostly OPO devices ONLY! A friend who also owns a OPO reported similar issue. While using Maps Navigation I have noticed that the pointer doesn't move along or update as I proceed in a given route. This is happening even when GPS is ON and set to High Accuracy and proper data coverage. I would like to know if anyone faced or is facing this issue? What is the solution? Thanks.
COS: 12.0-YNG1TAS2I3
Android: 5.0.2
Google Maps: 9.14.0
i have the same issue. the little blue pointer doesn't follow you and after awhile, it says gps signal lost. however, it still give you a turn by turn if you touch the bottom part. I really need this to work because of my job need. anyone have a fix for this? I think this only happen after the newest update about a week ago
I don't think that this is related to the One Plus One specifically. It is happening on at least 2 or 3 different devices that I have tested it on.
Does anyone have the apk for the previous version of google maps so that we can re-test?
Edit ..... Try this one and see if it sorts out your issue.
