Hi guys
I bought a P500 on 25 October and GPS worked fine in that period.
I have been trying to localize my position for two weeks but I didn't succeeded. Apps like Foursquare or Mobile Maps don't work.
Can I hope about a software problem? Could I try to solve the problem with a reset?
Or it's a hardware problem and I have to send my O1 to the assistence?
Sorry for my English
But what it don't work?
Doesn't find the GPS?
Or desn't fix position?

How long did you wait after GPS was switched on? Where you outside?
Try the programm "gps status" so that you can see whether it finds really no satellite or if you only have to wait longer for the gps fix.
hi guys thanks for the answers
I had problems standing outside with apps like 4sq or layar
This morning I did a reset (from privacy settings) and after that layar and 4sq worked again
After some hours I had issues again and I decided to try the app you suggested me (gps status). I managed to find the satellite and now it works again with 4sq and Layar.
what do you think about my problem?
Sounds hardware to me!

yeh thanks, i will check it out. hmmm how about trying QuickGPS? do u think that will make a difference in locating? i don't really know how these things work! what do you think?
possible solution
try this, go to phone>option>band>the network type should be auto, well switch to gsm and attempt to update. hopefully it will work.

I had this problem too. i googled searched... After rooting i started deleting a whole bunch of stuff. i accidentally deleted TTS. The GPS navigation used this to tell directions so stopped working.
Not sure if you're referring to navigation. otherwise re-flash or cash in that warranty.
I'd say a reflash is better to get all the apps back to normal
i'm sure that will help if not you can always calibrate your gps according to the country you are in
EDIT: check this page and check which app you're missing maybe you'll be able to reinstall any app you deletedby error and get the GPS back to work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
also I've seens that issue on mine but just when i'm not on the 2nd floor, it never finds a satellite and my location
I dunno if my sgs 2 is the problem or the satellite, but i cant get a fix or even have a gps pos. on google maps. I just give this guy a chance so I repeat the test day after day with no luck.
Stock rom all KF1 ver. (firmware,baseband,kernel) the wifi one is ok but i need the gps one to work.
will the issue be fix if I update my ROM? by kies?
TIA
I am having the same problem when my galaxy s II delivered last week i had no problems but now i must wait very long to get a fix..
I have trying to use the secrect code to change the gps settings but the code won't work.
So if any body can help.

No as no GPS problem on SGS2 .
Try a factory reset (wipes all data ).
Or return it to the seller or a service centre .

My Galaxy S2 has been working great until today. Suddenly Google Maps will not open. I've cleared the cache, data, removed it from the phone rebooted and then reinstalled the application. It starts up, freezes for a moment and then crashes.
The other problem is my phone no longer get's a GPS signal. Before and after rebooting it. I downloaded a GPS tester and it's showing 1 satellite in range, which makes no sense.
My phone is rooted, stock.
Anyone have any ideas? I googled the google maps crashing issue and there's hundreds of threads but no real solutions.
I just uninstalled the Chainfire3D Pro drivers and google maps now opens. Why would those two conflict?
Edit: Still not picking up any satellites.

No. I would like to try to solve the issue before I give up and resort to that.
My old phone used to be able to download the satellite positions to help improve the speed at which it got signal. Does Android have anything like this?

Seems to be working, I will update if I get anywhere. It's at least showing more than one satellite now.
Didn't work.
The only solution was to take out the battery and re-insert it.

Yeah. Use GPS Status and Toolbox.
Hi all,
After a few hours, my tablet was forget in plain sun in car, the GPS doesn't start. It appear to receive 6 to 8 sats, but none available. Restart, kill maps, tried again with 'GPS test'. Same result.
I'm stuck in Greece without gps...
Any ideas?
I don't think the heat had anything to do with it. Mine is the same way. You can get a USB GPS receiver that works great.

My GPS doesn't work either, I can see 8-9 satellites on GPS Test outdoor with a blue sky after 20 minutes but no fix.
I have contacted Archos support requesting a fix or an exchange.
My receiver was working properly. I don't want another external receiver, I want my tablet to work ok.

Don't we all. Just something that happens with the 80g9. The transformer prime has the same problem.

I did one experiment: I've set the CPU freq to 600MHz and the GPS was working again.
I went back to honeycomb and the GPS was fixing fine. I upgraded back to 4.0.7 and now it fixes as well as in Honeycomb !
I don't really understand what is going on but the problem is fixed for me.

I experienced the same problem with my device delivered with ICS 4.0.7.
After extensive testing I found out the following workaround:
Restart your device completely and then run google maps.
After stopping this app run your nacigation app ( for me SYGIC). Now gps is working again.
You can also validate with gps test.
It works well for me, but I'm waiting for an update from Archos which solves this problem.
