Hello XDA community,
Unfortunately I seem to be having a problem with my GPS, I travel a lot so this has become a pain. I have tried flashing custom ROMS but nothing seems to change. I used @Adam's method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066 to unlock the bootloader. If I could be guided to a solution I would appreciate it!
Maps won't lock on, with "Searching for GPS..." displaying on the bottom.
I ran Faster Fix with North America Region and nothing happened.
I also downloaded GPS Status and reset / downloaded my A-GPS Status
Try this:
"Go to Settings
Application manager
click all at top
go to Google services framework
clear data
Then
go to settings
Application manager
click all at top slide bar
go to maps
clear data
uninstall updates
Go to location services
turn off VZW Location service or disable it all together if you have the option
Power cycle phone
update maps from android market if your phone auto updates after you reboot that's ok, my note 2 auto updated maps and my gps worked fine
That's it your GPS should be working now"
*borrowed from shangrilla500
these gps threads are getting out of control we need to make an official gps fix thread no offense op i know you are having issues but a actual guide on how to fix this stuff would be a good alternative to getting tons of threads posted daily

Thanks for the help, I am going to try the suggested methods. I used the search but I wasn't sure if the sprint methods I found would work on my vzn.
+1 guys thank you!
no problem man no offense to you personally it's just something that needs to be done instead of tons of threads floating around about the same issue there should be a guide some where and also one thing that worked for me is driving around till u get a lock as my house never gives me a lock so

I've had the same issue. My searching for GPS lock sign would not even turn on with Jedi rom. And with cleanrom, the gps lock sign would come online but it would not lock. I tried the jellybeans rom, and finally it worked. One thing i've found different with the jellybeans rom against the others were that if you go to location settings, you can see the VZW location option, whereas for the other two it wasn't there. I don't have this option checked by the way.
Just giving you my 2 cents based on my experience. Maybe it could fix your problem if you install jellybeans rom and then follow the instructions suggested by the other guys here.
Have you tried Pimp my rom and replaced the GPS files with it?
Also you need to go in Settings, under accounts click your Google account, go to location access and make sure it is turned on for your phone. I have flashed roms before and done everything except check that and for some reason it should then on when you turn on your Location and Google search under GPS but it occasionally won't on the first lock on some roms.

Every time this happens to me I just boot into recovery and wipe internal storage and this fixes the problem. Beware, you lose your internal storage so backup any important files to an external sd card.

It may just be an issue with Hangouts, however I would lean more toward a AOKP issue. You could download GPSTest to replace the to replace the AGPS data..... It may just be a AOSP bug with Hangouts, however this js the first I'm hearing of it.

Since I installed devoid froyo, the apps that I try to install from market web does not appear on my phone I have checked everything....and It should be Ok). What can I do?
Something else, I have noticed that, the apps which I uninstall on the phone, continue appearing on the "Downloaded apps" section on market app. They continue here, but instead of "Installed" they say "Free" (Just like a normal app that you have not installed)
thanks!

Thanks dude for your suggest, but it continues! I dont understand why...I have tried everything and dont solve
Even the web market continues not working
I would back up what you need to and try a factory reset, thus if its a data problem it will all be cleared. I read about other people having the issue just needed to sign in to google talk (unfortunately for me I cant sign in, in england). If that doesn't work clear everything you can in recovery (except fat32 on the sd) and do a fresh install and try it with out making any adjustments to the rom. Check as you reinstall or delete things to find the fault. Android can be effected by odd things sometimes such as the wrong date or a error in the call log
Aaron, I think that If I do what you say, a complete wipe and fresh install, the bug would solved. But I think...is too much to do, copy all....backup...configurate again... and maybe I lose something, or any setting.....So I prefer continue with the bug and dont risk to install everything from 0
Thanks.
Titanium back up will save things like settings, call logs, and data with the apps (its just a pain to click install all the time) it has a batch back up and batch restore. But I suppose if you just restored everything you may re-introduce the fault. With CWM recovery you can do a advanced restore and select the partition you want to restore. Sorry I cant suggest anything more than wiping and deleting the gapps data
Dude I got the solution,
Even I was having the same problem.
Go to market > settings > filter
N select show all apps.
Thats it.
Reboot the phone n enjoy.
Press thanx if helped u.

Same issue here. Running Only1 base. I have to clear app data every week or it gets stuck repeating the route from the state I was previously working in. The map directions are accurate, but the voice keeps saying to turn on a road from the previous week. Over and over and over again. Crazy.

Same problem, Galaxy Nexus VZW on JellyBean, was having the issue on ICS as well. Did an uninstall/clear cache...worked for a while, and then started repeating again. Only thing that fixes it temporarily is clearing the app's data.
Happens to me once a week. Go to applications in settings, force stop maps, clear data, and reopen maps/nav. Problem solved. Its getting very annoying though, to do this once or twice a week.

I had the same problem on the Team Perfection ROM, in addition to it not using my Ivona TTS voice or speaking street names. Clearing cache and data didn't help, neither did an uninstall and reinstall from Play. What DID work however, was installing an older version apk I found (which kept FC for some reason), and then updating that version from Play. (Sorry, I don't recall which version it was, but I downloaded it from Aptoide.) After that, everything worked perfectly again. I noticed other people complaining about the same problem in Play's comments section. Really strange, but at least it works again for me.
Settings > Language & input > text to speech output.
Changing this to Pico TTS fixed it for me.
This has been happening on my phone (Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.1.1 JB AOKP build 2) on and off for a few months now, it first started happening right before android 4.1 Jellybean was officially announced. *It was at that precise time that the voice for Google Maps Navigation changed to be the same voice that Google Now uses in Jellybean. I remember there was a period of time where I would hear both voices like they hadn't finished converting all of the speech over to the new voice. It's been ever since then but this problem has been happening, I have noticed the clearing cache seems to sometimes stop it from happening only to return again randomly.

what rom and kernel are you currently using?..The flicker is a issue with some roms..editing the maxlayer overlay build prop helped with alot of people.
Did anybody think to post what version of google maps your using, without it any fix or info is almost useless because it might work for one version but not another (ex// im on 6.14.1 but someone else may not if not updated or running old GApps
Hello everybody. I have a rooted S3 with build XXDLIB (4.1.1 JellyBean).
For some reason my google now doesn't work properly. I can use the voice commands and I can see the cards but if i say "whats the weather like in london" or "play music" or "set an alarm for..." it always googles those commands rather than being smart about it. I've had it working before with custom roms but with this stock rom it doesn't work.
Anyone got any ideas why? Did samsung tamper with it to make its s-voice look better?
Thanks for any replies!

Use FasterGPS to change the gps.conf back to the US. It is fairly straightforward to use, just give it root privileges then:
1. Under continent select North America
2. Once you select continent the Region box will become selectable, you need to choose United States.
It will show a toast message that says the GPS.conf was written successfully, then you just need to load Maps up and it should lock on quickly without losing the signal.
If that doesn't work just post back and I will give you something else to try because AFAIK the Super, Mega, and whatever the hell wipes aren't recommended for this phone and if I am remembering correctly they caused soft bricking on our phones that was a ***** to fix. While this wipes have most likely been fixed I wouldn't bother with them, if you want to do a wipe because what I told you to do doesn't work then you just need to boot into TWRP, click wipe, click the box on the right side (I think its format data or something but I can't remember off the top of my head), type yes, click go and then reflash whatever you want. At least try FasterGPS first, that works most of the time on International Roms.

With this fix you don't have to push anything at all, just boot into recovery and flash it like you would a ROM. Don't bother wiping anything with this fix, just flash it.
http://db.tt/9E3aMJxS
Also pushing files isn't that bad when you use something like Root Explorer, all you have to do is copy and paste it to wherever it needs to be. If you have to fix the permissions after pushing it you just have to long press and change them, it will load a little box with all the permissions and all you have to do is check the ones needed.

What the hell? There was a report of that in the thread in General but I figured it was bogus because the person would never ever reply and every single ROM I have tried it on, TW included, it either fixed or did nothing.
When you restore your nandroid does your GPS go back to the normal non working state?
Something else you could try, that i just thought of when replying to someone in the VRB thread, is making a nandroid of a TW ROM, that you got a strong GPS lock for at least 5 minutes, on your internal SD and then try either reflashing Moon or restoring a nandroid of it. I would probably just reflash it to have a clean slate but I would also understand if you didn't want to have to go through setting it up again.
That probably won't work but I know on my S3 I had to have a working backup on my internal or else GPS refused to work at all, on my Note 2 I have to reflash the fix I linked above if I forget and wipe my nandroid before establishing a lock.
Also are you trying to get a GPS lock with or without the Wireless network setting on? I know on AOSP having the WiFi and Mobile network location setting checked in addition to the regular GPS location it would refuse to even turn the GPS on. You had to have the wireless location setting off before you could get your GPS to work, while this isn't AOSP it could be a shared bug and is worth testing out.

For my Thunderbolt there was a file called "SuperWipe" that was essentially a blank file system that you could flash to your phone to quickly clear EVERYTHING.
I have not seen anything like that for the Note II yet.

It was released right after the phone came out. I want to say it was released in the N7105 forums, it could have been AT&T though, and there were some serious issues it was causing in all the Note 2's. It was supposed to have been worked on but I haven't heard anything since then and honestly wouldn't use it after all the corruption issues that arose from it.

What the hell? There was a report of that in the thread in General but I figured it was bogus because the person would never ever reply and every single ROM I have tried it on, TW included, it either fixed or did nothing.
When you restore your nandroid does your GPS go back to the normal non working state?
Something else you could try, that i just thought of when replying to someone in the VRB thread, is making a nandroid of a TW ROM, that you got a strong GPS lock for at least 5 minutes, on your internal SD and then try either reflashing Moon or restoring a nandroid of it. I would probably just reflash it to have a clean slate but I would also understand if you didn't want to have to go through setting it up again.
That probably won't work but I know on my S3 I had to have a working backup on my internal or else GPS refused to work at all, on my Note 2 I have to reflash the fix I linked above if I forget and wipe my nandroid before establishing a lock.
Also are you trying to get a GPS lock with or without the Wireless network setting on? I know on AOSP having the WiFi and Mobile network location setting checked in addition to the regular GPS location it would refuse to even turn the GPS on. You had to have the wireless location setting off before you could get your GPS to work, while this isn't AOSP it could be a shared bug and is worth testing out.

That is the way i have always done it, on CleanROM ACE 4.9, Vanilla Rootbox, and all the other miscellaneous TW and AOSP ROMs I've used it on. It is made for AOSP but didn't hurt any of the TW ROMs I've rested it on.
If it completely got rid of your GPS when you tested it before though it may just not be a good idea to use it on Moon.
When you're testing GPS do you always have the WiFi and Mobile Network Location seeing under Location Settings checked? I know on AOSP for a while you couldn't use that setting at all and then on some TW ROMs you had to use it to get your first lock and after that you could get away with not having it enabled.
I would just flash Moon ROM and see if you can get a lock. Try it after creating a nandroid of a TW ROM that has working GPS on your internal storage, on my S3 the only way I could get a lock on any ROM was to keep a nandroid with working GPS on my internal SD card.

Im running the KT kernel.
I keep trying to send a group text which gets converted to MMS and I get a message stating that it can't send it right now but will send it when service becomes available. I am on wifi but never had this problem with Alliance Rom. Do I need to change a setting? I'm using stock messaging. Could it be that I am using a different kernel other than stock?

I have heard other users report that issue before with 3rd party kernels in the main thread. I have tried the function on the stock rom (granted quite a while ago) and it did work perfectly. I would try flashing the stock kernel and see if the issue persists.
Didn't see there was this [email protected] forum. Awesome. I'm on v8. When I try to view pictures via stock gallery they won't auto rotate. Wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks

Try going to Settings/Language and Input/Voice Search and make sure that everything is enabled. On a side note, if you updated to the latest leaked lollipop version of Google Now or the launcher, Ok Google functionality is broken.

I just answered this in the main thread, it has to do with an init.d script running, check the main rom op.

Im going to look into this. I think it was from a simple mod that I did. I might post an updated version in a day or two.
Talking about lollipop goodness, how about adding lollipop Gmail ?
I'm using lollipop SMS messenger and tried the gmail but gmail force closes..
And great job BTW, thanks.

All enabled, I installed The Xposed Framework and Xposed Installer from your bundle, could that have messed it up?
Voice recognition works if I open the Google Search app and press the mic, also "Hi Galaxy" isn't working for Hands Free Mode.
Thanks for the help
I chose Google Launcher from the install menu when I setup the ROM, maybe that did it? I uninstalled it and restarted, still nothing.

Well if you are refering to OK Google command, make sure that you have the search widget on your home screen or you can enable the ok google anywhere option in Google now settings. Xposed by itself and any of the included mods should not really effect anything depending (of course) on what mods that you have installed. If You want t troubleshoot than just uninstall the xposed framework from the xposed settings and reboot. You can always just reenable it with the touch of a button. Of course the last case senerio that I would recommend is doing a full wipe (data, system, cache and dalvik) and doing a fresh install. That should definately fix the issue as long as its not hardware related (your phone itself).

I tried enabling from any screen, when it prompts me to say Ok Google 3 times it doesn't recognize it. So yeah, I'll try a fresh re-install.
I'll update!

A silly question; how to get project infinity lockscreen wallpaper back? It's not in wallpaper list...
I noticed you updated on the 24th is that the new release?
I'm on v8 and my phone refuses to screen cast to my Samsung TV.. My girlfriends unrooted T-Mobile S5 does it just fine every time, but mine just says "Connecting.." then drops it every time.. I'm stuck as to why!!
Any other download source than Mega upload?
For some reason my post about the above topic disappeared. Thought this was the Q&A forums but now I'm not so sure.
Was wondering if there was any other way to get this other than downloading an extension that is corrupt and wont tell me where its downloading my files at?
There are NO options to set as for my files to download and I will NOT let it download to C:/ drive just in case it opens a backdoor to allow viruses onto my computer. Call me paranoid all you want too.
Is it being hosted on any other sites that I can control what gets installed and where? Even Pirate Bay allows you to save files wherever you want too. I'm not asking for much. Just dont want my main drive to get whacked by some crap that I have to install just to download files "over 1GB in size you need our extension" . Ummmmm no I don't. Just download the file and allow me to put it where I want to put it. Thats all.
Google Drive or Dropbox account maybe?
Have the v4 and v5 as they were hosted on androidhost or something similar. But then you switched to Mega.nz for some reason. Don't know why. Thanks for anyones help in this problem.
