Serious gps issue - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please someone tell the solution for gps issue. Whenever i start gps and open maps it works ok till here but once i start navigation to reach my destination this issue occurs and it saya searching for gps.
I was on cm13 for 2 mnths that too 2 mnths back and i received a jio sim which was not working on cm13 so i had to downgrade to cm11. When i was on cm13 gps was working great from the day i purchases device but one day i was in mumbai and was stuck in heavy traffic, suddenly gps started to show issues as i mentioned (was on cm13).
I came back to my place and flashed cm11(clean flash). But couldnt solve the issue for me.
I have tried all the apps suggested to calibrate gps but nothing worked, tried Agps cache wipe and then update it but still no luck. I have tried colos os as well but the issue persist there also.
Please suggest me a proper solution for this for cm11 as i am using jio sim and which is working on cm11 only for me, so i cannot flash another rom.
I am in hurry bcoz i have to drive back to another city so need my gps as i rely on it always.

1. ensure that you have KK firmware. It's there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
2. Try using proper gps.conf (Fastergps in Google Play is UI for it. Specify your loc)
3. Install Statusgps and manually reset and download AGPS data. Wait for GPS lock then (can be around 5 minutes)
After AGPS download and first position lock, your GPS will remain in "Warm" state (instead of "Cold") and you will be able to fix in around 5 seconds.
"Cold" fix takes around 50 seconds to 3 minutes. It's my info, yours can be different.
After first gps lock, don't reboot your phone. Check GPS lock time at next day, it should be around 10 seconds (I have 5 sec). I use Status GPS to get lock time.
P.S. I was at vacation some week ago, and my GPS was broken also. It was very bad

Different gps problem. ( think). Need help.

My gps started out working great. I got it on launch day. Then it started seeing plenty of satellites (8+) in gps test but wouldn't use them no matter how high the signal was. Now it only reports for a second and stops updating. For instance, It will view 1 satelite. The signal will go to 15 or so and then nothing changes. I've tried reinstalling gps test in case that was the problem. It still only sees one satellite for a moment and then it appears to freeze. I can't get a lock in maps, even if I leave it on for a half hour. Is there some kind of gps reset or maybe a software cache that should be cleared? It just seems to be frozen or something.
When i had GPS problems on my Nexus one , i rebooted it , or just simply turn off phone and back on.
Thanks for you're advice, but unfortunately I tried that all ready.

GPS Turning off automatically when Navigating :(

Hi! I'm having troubles when navigating. I have turned on the two options of location, the GPS and Network Location services. When i start navigating with Google Navigation, i can see the GPS icon looking for signal. When signal arrives, i start navigating perfectly. In aprox 30 seconds, the icon dissapear, in the Google Navigation software i can see: Searching GPS and no more. I need to restart the program again for get another 30 seconds of navigation.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks
P.D: Trying to solve yesterday i flash again the original FW with Emergency mode, but i didn't repair nothing.
The FW is V10_00d VODAFONE SPAIN
Hello,
I have just the same problem. I have previously the firmware 10c and GPS worked fine.
Last week the system was updated automatically to the same firmware than you, "10d Vodafone SPAIN", and now I have exactlly the same problem than you with GPS.
From what I know, there are newer versions of LG firmware for this mobile, but not available yet for downloading officially.
Regards.

IMPORTANT:
Try the following, this morning worked for me, I do not know it was a solution or not, but just in case...
- Using the widget on the notification bar, deactivate Data (last button on the right)
- From the same widget, activate GPS (button just on the left of that one)
- Open the google maps
- Try to get GPS coverage (I have tried driving)
- After getting GPS location, the mobile does not loose it never
- Then, try to connect data again, the GPS signal remains
I have tried just this morning twice, driving and walking, and worked fine. I do not know if it is a "workaround" or just worked to me once, I will try again today when I drive back.
Hopefully it will work to you too, let me know.
Good luck.

[Q] expected time for GPS lock?

What is usual expected time to get GPS lock in such situation.
My mobile network is off, so no A-GPS.
ROM: Sense-o-Maniac-DeSense v1.1
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Bricked v1.5
Could not get lock today for over 10min, than i just switched GPS off.
The night before, while on wifi it took me about 5 min to get coordinates.
Switched back to HyperSensarion, with bricked kernel, now o have GPS lock without sky view in a matter of 5 sec.

Acquiring a GPS lock depends on a few things, the rom your using, the radio, your phone (some just lock better than others) and your location.
Download clocksync (and sync it) Download faster fix (and set up your locale) then if you could get a lock prior to using these two apps, then stick with the radio your on, these should help with the speed of the lock.
Just try to re-connect.
Personally i connect anywhere from immediately to a minute, so i'm quite lucky.
It's usually pretty quick though.
My Lumia 800 connects straight away every time all the time Gr8 phone the Lumia.
PS: Oh and getting a lock on wifi is not a fair comparison to GPS.
Hope this helps.

Correcting GPS problems

I had intermittent GPS connection problems for months. The Sensation would not lock on to satellites at all or if it did it would take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. I contacted HTC and T-Mobile tech support, and searched all the forums I could find without success. GPS would work great for a few days after flashing a new ROM or after a factory data reset, but in a few days the problems would return.
I finally stumbled on a fix (at least for me). I deleted the Maps cache and user data, pulled the battery, rebooted and GPS started working great. It will now lock on to 8 or 10 satellites in 3 to 5 seconds outside and about 10 seconds inside.
If you are having GPS problems give it a try.
You can also download fasterfix from the market then select your region go outside and download GPS status give it a full 10 minutes to lock on to as many satellites as possible and then reboot. This should fix any GPS lock issues

[OP7Pro] Gps problems after 10.0.7 update

Hello,
Anyone having gps issues after updating to 10.0.7? Google maps show info that google location services are disabled, gps status cannot fix with any sat, still 0/xx
Clearing location services cache, disabling/enabling google location services didn't help.
Patched boot image with magisk 20.4
Logcat in attachment.
Turn On GPS and restart the device. I have same issue on Android 9. If you want to enable GPS you have to turn it on restart device with gps on then you will be able to use it, after you turn it off, you have to do all again. I have also problem with SIM card, few times a day OP just lose signal, I cannot call not to mention LTE etc. Reboot not always work, sometimes I have to wait like 15min to get all back nothing help. If those problems will exist I will sell OP and go back to iPhone before had 6s no problems, then I had 8 Plus in 2 years device maybe reset 2 times because of crash i think. Only 1 time had to reset it my self because it stuck, otherwise GPS working (and wasn't draining battery like crazy I was able to go on a 5h trip with all the time Google Maps on from 100% 8Plus went to like 40% which is crazy and lasted me for another good few hourse of usage with OP i have like 15%-20% drain every 1h of Google Maps on), everything just works there and now I have seen that they finally want to put Widgets it is not same like on Android but with Jailbreak I think it will be nice.
Restarts with gps on/off didn't help.
