After installing Official GB 4.5.91 from OTA. I noticed when testing the GPS using either GPS Status or GPS Test from the market both show the Accuracy/Error as "0.0ft/m" I know this is not a true indication.
I am just wondering if i have a bad flash or if anyone else has noticed this bug?
I have no problem but I do alot of calibration for my gps due to me using it all day long for work try a app from market.

i have the same problem when i'm on 2.3.4 (both att version and orange fr version) but it works properly on any 2.2 firmware.
Same problem here. Certain mapping/scanning apps will not work without this information. I have found no fix as of yet.
Same problem here.
Same issue here since update to 2.3.4.
Accuracy information disappears in maps when a gps lock is achieved.
Makes using geocaching apps impossible.
Experienced across both kenn's 4.5.91 and GB Orange.

After debranding/flashing to the generic R2BA026 X10a, from the Rogers Canada stock R2BA020, I've lost my Google Navigation, and get the message "Google Maps Navigation is not yet available in your location". Anybody else have this problem? Is there a fix (other than using the Brut mod)? Or do I have to rollback to the official rogers firmware? TIA.
No problem here. My Rogers unit was also debranded and am using the LAM 026 generic firmware on mine and works fine.
Even after I one-click rooted the phone, everything still is working like a charm.
I have the same problem but it's intermittent. I can usually fix it by toggling the various "location" settings.

No issue here but now that I posted this reply I feel like it is imminent.

I had that issue also. I uninstalled Google maps, and reinstalled it. Working again.
Same happens on my milestone. I think it is Google. No need to do anything. Just try few mins later.

Thanks for the advice guys. I ended up reflashing/debranding and re-rooting back and forth to the RBA026 generic again. I got the same error, but then I rebooted and everything seems to be going okay. Good to know I wasn't the only one having issues. I'll keep the other fixes in mind so I don't have to go through the whole reflash/re-root procedure again. Cheers.
i had the same problem
when i chose a location, there will be no option for navigation only directions.
i would try to use the "navigation" app but as you know, it gives the "navigation not available in this area" even though i am in canada and it was working before.
the fix i had for it was to use the custom google maps created by brut which will allow you to always see the navigation option.
then when you are trying to navigate, use the original google maps navigation and it will work. Im not sure why that is but it seems to work 100%. Brut's navigation is a bit buggy so im not using it at the moment.
also, turning gps on and off from the locations menu in settings might help.
Hi there,I'm in mexico celebrating my honeymoon and I'm getting huge waits for gps connection,i can't upgrade to a different rom being away from home,i was wondering if the gps fix had been singled out into one fix update. I've had a search via xda app but can't find much other than whole roms

Try gps status and toolbox from the Market. it donwloads gps assistance data that reduces lock time and gives you more gps info. It might help.
Happy Honeymoon!

are you using network assistance to get a gps lock or are you trying to do it without using data? try to get a lock when you are connected to wifi (use wireless network and use gps satellites both checked in settings). next time you go out you should get a faster lock as it will remember roughly where you are
No GPS fix in any rom as no GPS problem reported to Samsung .

Hi guys,
I've been using Morrisoft ROM since version 0.7 and since then, after some period using the phone the GPS simply stops to fix position and it never comes back, only with fresh install. I've tried with GMaps, it shows huge area of confidence, and with sports tracking apps like MiCoach or Endomondo I've had no success either: it keeps trying to find satellites without success. I've also tried to install the GPS fix provided by Notorious544d for Neutrino, but it didn't work also.
Does anyone have a clue of what's going on?

well,
my friend i have used tens of roms and costum roms, with this phone locking gps is almost impossible.
it's a shame because it is a beautifull phone but i got good gps with old phones like samsung i7500 and htc hd2 i can not understand why this phone has this weakness.
also tried gps fix apk and agps usa fix not results.
Hi,
Just curious if anyone has the same issue with me,
Before flashing custom ROM and kernel I got my GPS working properly, I can use Endomondo apps without issue, but after flashing custom ROM + kernel (MeanROM 4.3 + dodova 0.54 kernel) I got an issue with my GPS...
when trying to use Endomondo to track my workout it always say "waiting for satellites..."
Now trying to Relock and unroot using 2.17 firmware RUU, but there's no change... Still have this issue...
Any suggestions ??
Do other apps requiring Gps find your location? Does Google maps find you fine? Check that you have Gps turned on, it could be set to only use cell network for location. Also you can use the app faster fix to help with Gps location.

Have you relocked and unrooted? Why not just to flash a new rom?

Download GPS Status from the market and clear your GPS data using the tool. Then download new data. It may/may not work, but it's worth a shot.
I'm struggling with really poor GPS signal. It either fails completely to find a GPS signal at the start or loses it mid way. I'm an avid strava user and I find it very difficult to find a GPS signal. I've just got back from a ride which I've ridden loads using my HTC one and strava, and the z2 lost signal for half the ride. I've tried runkeeper too which i has the same problem so I don't think its the app. Weirdly, Google maps can find me OK. I've reinstalled the apps many times and checked all my location settings.
Any ideas or is anyone having the same problem?

This is a 4.4.2 issue, not a sony issue
You will have to wait for sony to release android 4.4.4 or android 5.0
I seems to be a sort of base module kinda thing
It also seems to be partialy fixed in the 438 firmware

So is there no fix for this until I get an update?
I'm running 5.1 on my z2 and it does the same thing. The GPS in Google maps or Garmin will be working fine, then it just acts as though I've stayed in place, even though I'm still driving. Is there a patch or something I can flash that'll fix this (I am rooted with a locked bootloader)?
Try some apps on Google Play. I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.gpslock
