First off I'm using miui fascinate build from 4/4 and noticed something weird. Maybe its just on miui and you guys can check other roms. When using Google maps it never finds my location and if it does its not accurate has the bog blue circle. But when I use MapQuest on my miui fascinate it locks perfect location in a couple to a few seconds. Maybe its Google maps not playing nicely with the fascinate. Let me know.

I've had that problem with every ROM I've used with this phone. If I don't run GPS Status first, google maps/nav never finds me. When I run GPS Status though I get a lock in about 5 seconds so it's really not a big deal. It takes maybe an extra 10 seconds to open the app and get a lock then open google maps.

This looks like a cool program but doesn't seem to actually work on my titan with the new GPS rom. I have tried it using DCDs and the sprint rom. Google Navigator on both roms in too slow to use. Google maps works fine however.
Any ideas or hacks to get it working correctly?
Yeah I had no luck with it. It's not made by google but I believe it uses google maps/earth and overlays on top of it. I ditched it after 15 minutes and a few soft resets.
I'm gonna throw this out and see what happens.
I just got Efficasoft GPS Utilities for my wizard. So far I like it, but it doesn't come with maps loaded on them. Which is the only thing that bothers me about it.
On their website, they say you can make maps using a google maps screen capture. but the biggest map I can generate is a 5 mile radius and that's no good to me.
Anyone have any ideas on getting some decent maps to work with it?

I just installed ultima 5. now, my phone cannot find my location.
in facebook, when i tries to check-in, it keeps saying loading and does not find the places tht is near me.
in foursquare, when i go to places, it says 'your location could not be found. make sure your gps or network location services are turned on, then try refreshing again'.
under location and security, ive already checked use wireless networks and use gps satellites. before i installed ultima 5, it used to work. so, please help me.
Can you set your location in google maps? Most of the apps I use can't find the location unless it's set in google maps.
What do you mean by setting my location in google maps ?
I mean does gps work on google maps on your phone?

yes, it works on google maps. google maps can find my location.
Sorry to say this buddy but it has to be the rom. You said it yourself it works fine prior to installing it. I tried that rom for one day but I didn't like the fact that the battery was getting too hot even on minimal use. Try reflashing the rom again after a clean install of 2.1 then wipe/ clear everything in xrec. If it still doesn't work, post your problem on the rom thread and see of other users have that problem.

Hey all, this is my first post on this forum. I bought a Dell Venue 7 for a tablet install into my vehicle to replace the radio. The tablet is in and everything is working but the navigation! When I try to input my route, google maps just sits in a constant "searching for location" state! I've searched this site and googled a ton and can't return any solution. I've checked the location services and tried my luck with some apps promising to fix gps location service, but no luck. The tablet is stock 4.4. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I tested it using the app. It is only able to see one satellite at best. I downloaded "tetherGPS" and it is able to lock onto the position, but it won't display real-time position. It won't track it, I mean. Really irritating when trying to navigate because it won't track past my front door!

I have a Dell Venue 8 and gps work fine. I think you need internet to use google map. If you want to use in your car without internet then you need to download free or paid offline navigation app. BTW, I use Sygic offline map and it work very good.
