My watch is having issues now with acquiring standalone GPS with standalone apps like Strava for instance.
Tried a factory reset as well, no luck. Issues were not present before update.
Anyone else having standalone GPS issues since update ?
J
i got the same when i took a jog without my phone. no gps from watch
Standalone GPS was definitely fubar'd from the latest OTA.
Just to be sure I flashed back to 1.5 and let the watch update itself to current OTA and the GPS issue was still there.
I flashed back to the May 1 2017 OTA patch and standalone GPS is back to working as it should. ( unfortunately now I just have to deal with the annoying "update" notification until the next OTA )

Hey guys is me again lol. I just flashed the newest SynergyROM update ( 1.7 ) and my gps doesnt show me at the correct location. It keeps moving around my area, mostly 3 to 4 blocks away from me. i didnt mind that however when i go on navigation, the directions are incorrect due to the location being wrong. Is there a fix for this? I did a full wipe before installing just like instruction on the thread and i installed it after going back to stock and rooting.

Have you tried the Synergy thread? A lot has been discussed about GPS issues.

i did check it and tried going to stock and then back to synergy and still same issue.
Edit: I just started reading many of the comments and i guess i will wait for the next update. Battery life is too good to quit the rom.
Thanks for the reply
From what I read about it, and I've been following the thread because I use Synergy, its possible that it is a hardware issue. Or its possible that you need to Odin back to stock and start over. I've been flashing and reflashing Synergy since 1.0 (or maybe it was 1.1) and haven't had much in the way of issues, GPS works fine.
I'm on one of the nightlies right now, have you tried using the current nightly? Not sure what else I can suggest, I'm pretty new to it all really.
hope this gets fixed
If you flash back to stock does GPS work fine
Ive seen a few posts that gps doesnt work and they have been told flash back then flash rom, but my question is when back to stock does gps work then? if not maybe its the phone its self
I have not had any problems even VZW can find me if i turn gps off

This may not the best route, but it has worked for me so far:
I'm also on v1.7 (Odined back to stock unrooted; rooted via GS3_debugfs-root_r2; CWM 6.0.1.0; clean v1.7 install with data/cache/dalvik wipes) and this is what I did when I initially flashed and noticed GPS locking issues:
1. Toggled GPS
2. Went outside & launched GPS Test
3. Updated AGPS
4. Once the "In Use" # of satellites in GPS Test showed 2 or more I launched Google maps and got an immediate lock.
Since the initial flashing of v1.7 when I have GPS locking issues:
1. Toggle GPS
2. Go outside and launch GPS Test.
3. Once the "In Use" # of satellites in GPS Test show 2 or more I launch Google maps. I usually then get an immediate lock. I also verify with Waze.
I noticed that if I keep GPS on, then I don't have to launch GPS Test to get a lock. However, if I turn GPS off and toggle it back on right before I need it, my GPS lock takes longer. If I'm waiting past 30 secs for a lock, I just launch GPS Test and wait for the "In Use" number to populate before going back to Maps or Waze
Is your Wifi on? Sounds strange but the same thing was happening to me and it said turn the Wifi on and I locked in after being 3 blocks off

I actually got my gps problem fixed. I odin back to root66 and did a factory reset there and ran maps, the gps was working fine. Then i upgraded to the newest synergy and gps is working fine as well. I did a full wipe before going to synergy.
A friend of mine recently bought the Ascend P1 and has been having issues with getting accurate GPS locks on it. I've double checked the location settings and everything is set right. She uses the GPS mainly in fitness apps to track her runs. In Runkeeper, the tracking is very off and the phone never seems to get a solid lock. She tried a different running app, Endomondo, just to compare and the results were similar. The route mapping is way off and overstates the runs significantly. She had no issues on her HTC Wildfire S prior to this.
All apps are up to date and the phone has been updated to the latest version pushed out by the carrier/Huawei. Any thoughts on what's happening here or if there is a setting somewhere in 4.0 that I'm not familiar with? Thanks!
try fasterfix and see if it gets better
I've got similar issues. I partially solved it by using those kinda bracelets which let you hang your phone on your arm. But anyway I guess the GPS sensor or the antenna are not really optimised.

Guys ... can anyone confirm me one thing from stock ROM 4.0.3 ICS that if you have a rooted rom and not touched the /system/etc/gpsconfig_viva.xml , then in data/gps folder , does the lto.dat exists after the gps is fixed with data on?
Huawei Ascend P1 gps proble is fixed in the jelly bean version Emotion 1.6
Only the GPS log bug still exists and needs to be rectified manually by rooting and unrooting
After the fix, it fixes extremely fast , faster than the s3
The gps bug is solved from the post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45424819&postcount=188
I have updated my TF101 to 6.0.1 Now even after installing and using Kats Fix 2.2.0, gps will not work. Also Google Maps will not load.
I have also tried some gps testing apks and they never show any sats.
What can I do to fix this this?
Hello, I have a strange problem. Every day or two gps is turning on by itself to high accuracy. I never use gps at all, have disable all options for gps and opted off all permissions for apps who can use gps but this still happens. I am running latest official eu rom. Also did not notice it before two latest updates (so mainly it started in android 9 update). Any help?
Is it just me, or the last beta update screwed up everyone's gps?
My phone constantly loses gps signal, even on apps, which are allowed to use it every time, like strava, which should use it, because that's how it works. Before the update I've never seen any kind of these issues. Is there a way to fix it, or just quit form the beta program and things will work fine?
Hi, i had the same issue on the last two version of oxigen os (beta 5 and last stable) so i reverted the last pie and the problem is vanished.
