If you gps isnt accurate, or takes forever to lock on, or is just not working
goto
settings--->Location & security---> uncheck vzw location services
try to use Standalone GPS services by itself, if not use Standalone and Google. just make sure the vzw one is off.
I tested with some people and it worked for them too.
WoW.... it really works... Just confirmed it myself. I am rooted, I did NOT do lagfix and updated to DI01
confirmed worked. it took 2 sec and was almost 100% accurate. with all 3 checked it was hit and miss and when it did find me it wasnt accurate and it took anywhere from 3-5 min to find me and it was usually about 1-2 football fields away,, still on old software, no update for me yet and no root
nice find

I have had that unchecked since the phone came out and still had problems. If there was any fix it was from the update.
unchecked... no difference, lock time is still measured around 1-2 mins.
didn't work for me...
Worked great for me. I was getting fed up waiting on the damn thing to lock onto me while I was driving and needed to find a place quick and directions. Thanks for the heads up.

I checked all 3 after reading about it somewhere then my gps started working with no problem with google maps and I live in nyc.
I think the result varies.

Take it in to verizon and show them... They will give you a new phone.
So are you guys getting GPS locks in a matter of seconds all the time, even after reboot? Mine takes a few minutes all the time to get a lock, or else is very inaccurate. If I wait for the lock I get accurate to within feet, and it'll stay that way.
Well, I thought that worked for me until I rebooted my phone to see if it really worked. No dice.
From what I understand (and I could be wrong) essentially what you are doing is turning off the cell phone triangulation that google/verizon provide and sticking with just the straight GPS unit. I don't necessary see why turning off the "rough location" would effect the warm up time of the GPS unit, but maybe it actually does.
Just didn't work on mine after my GPS unit was cold.
Does anyone know if this is a hardware issue or software?
Browsing multiple forums brings up slews of the same complaints, but no one has put forth any kind of solution, nor has Samsung.
I have all location services enabled, and I get locks virtually instantly almost all the time, and it's always accurate to within probably a few feet. Maybe I'm just lucky?
I'd hate to say it, but I fear it is hardware, seeing as I have yet to have a lock take more than 10 seconds, usually 4 or less.
This is really the first time I've been on the good side of a widespread issue.

Yeah all of these "fixes" are merely temporary. All they are doing in storing the satelite info so they ock faster. If you reboot and turn off GPS for more than a few minutes it will start all over again. I will be paying VZW a visit tomorrow to see what they will do about since it seems not all phones are affected by this.
And I use my GPS a lot. The other day I was trying to find backway home and my GPS was so far off by the time it locked I was already stuck in traffic, had it locked normally, I would have been home free, my Droid1 would have never done this to me!!
I've only had issues with getting a lock after the GPS hasn't been used for a while. Lately, I've been wondering if some people who don't have issues have some type of app installed that periodically queries GPS? For example, I just installed the Asurion app that is supposed to check my location every hour. I haven't fully tested it yet, but now I'm wondering if this will keep GPS on frequently enough to the point where it won't have to re-start with the delay.
BTW... in early testing (when I first got the phone), I would wait to get a lock (maybe a minute), then after I got a lock I rebooted the phone and I still got an instant lock. So, once a lock is obtained, it seems like it keeps it for a while - even after a reboot. The main times I've had issues have been in the morning after the phone has been charging all night while asleep.

Yeah, I have a fascinate and so does my girlfriend. Locks both take minutes at the very least.
If this is hardware or if anyone has some legit theories, I'd like to know before my 30 days is up so I can de-root mine and exchange them both for phones that actually get a lock in a decent amount of time.
it hasnt worked for me since before root when it was stock
anyone else having this issue?
yes my gps is enabled lol
I was having problems like yours and a factory reset cured them all. Can be found in the storage card submenu of the settings.

I would suggest you just go ahead and have VZW replace it, sounds like it could be a hardware problem. Can we unroot the TB yet? Don't know myself. Things like this are one of the reasons I have not rooted yet.

I noticed when i got mine it wouldnt aquire satelites fast or at all when i was trying with google maps. Then i downloaded gps status off the market and it seems to be working as intended now. Not sure what it was but now it works without a hitch.
Been using a custom ROM and I wasn't able to get my GPS working with 4G service turned off. As soon as I turned 3G back on, my GPS started to work again.
Could be pure coincidence, but who knows.
It has been suggested that GPS will lock on quick if you have all three location settings checked. I had unchecked VZW and Google and left stand alone GPS checked. In Google Maps, I could not get my location. Other GPS apps (like C:Geo) would lock on. I went back in and clicked VZW and Google locator services and the GPS locks on quick in all apps.
I have all 3 GPS systems on and it stays on searching for GPS.
im gonna revert it to stock and return to VZW for a new one.
edit: it just found me and is now working... still returning it to vzw for a new one though
I had the same issue, no rhyme or reason. Flashed stock and it's working again. It might have something to do with CWR thats causing it, although I'm no dev and it's just an educated guess.

installing this app and running it before i use my gps fixed all my gps problems.
issue was i only use GPS once a mouth so the "agps" gets out of date and google maps sucks at updating it or something.
havent had the TB long enough to say if this helps there but on the OG droids it worked great
Verizon Level 2 Tech Support Said...
So, sadly, I've noticed the same issue with GPS not locking on. I grabbed the GPS Status app and it shows compass data, but keeps spinning when it comes to GPS data....10-15 minutes and NOTHING there. Settings > Location > VZW, Standalone and Google location services are all checked.
The best happened this morning - Google Maps had me in a 2 mile diameter space about five miles from where I was. Reboot got me back to a 200 meter radius including my actual location, but then POOF - magically started creeping back to its original place five miles away.
All this was going on during a call to Verizon tech support. I wasn't using my TB for the call - calling through Gmail (loving that, btw). Level 1 rep had no clue (script reader to a T) and so got bumped up to talk to Sergio in Level 2. Guy told me this and I think it's nonsense. Wondering if you guys have thoughts.
He said that he lives in Albuquerque and has tried GPS on Verizon devices including the Droid X, Droid2 and the TB in LA, Denver, Tucson and other cities and says that in cities it has never locked on to his location while standing. While mobile, he says it does. I said, "I don't buy it as being the reason for my issue, Sergio" and the guy has the bravado to fire back "well, I don't need you to buy it, it's a fact.".
Guy was kind of a **** from that point on, but said he would say try a master reset. Should I head that direction? Does this smell like HW more than SW? If it smells like SW, I might as well root wait for the disgustingly talented XDA crew to come up with some GB ROMS, no?
Thanks for your thoughts!

I have until thursday to return my tbolt. Ill prob go tomorrow. I noticed it was working lastnight. It took over a minute to find the gps satellites though
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Im rooted and using stock and all works well... I suggest as others have, download gps status, run it, then hit menu-tools-manage A-gps state-reset.
It should be ok after that...
GPS thinks im all over the place...
My GPS is also not working. I'm rooted but was having the same issue before rooting as well. I'm based in Houston, TX: Google maps is just off by a few miles, my time widget says i'm in Lynnville, IL, and Foursquare says i'm in some coastal town in Lithuania (and yeah it shows nearby locations in Lithuania to check into...i wonder if there's a badge for that).
Anyway, gonna attempt to return it today....will see if I can slip it past them.
I'm having GPS issues as well. It seems to take 5 to 10 min to get a location then it looses it and finds it again. Not happy with this at all. I've done a full reset and still no fix. I'm going to give CS a call and see if a new Tbolt will fix the issue.

My thunderbolt is fine. Just did a maps test and it found me in about 10s. I have two thunderbolts and the other one took about 1 minute to lock. Both tests were done from inside my house. Both are untouched stock form.
I also was having this issue and downloaded the gps status app and magically everything seemed to be working correctly. For some reason my phone kept saying that I was in "Balti" when I know I was in Portland. I think your best bet is to download GPS Status and reset a-gps status and see if that gets you back in line. Now my gps locks on quick and I am no longer in Balti.
Edit: oops
I'm no stranger to GPS issues on Android devices. When I owned a Samsung vibrant, it took forever to lock onto enough birds to get an accurate location, and I was constantly reseting GPS data and then running the GPS Test app testing it's functionality.
Do you really want to know how good your GPS is? Run GPS Test app with stand alone GPS only (no assist from data networks) and see how fast it locks and how accurate the position.
With the Thunderbolt, I bought the phone on launch date and didn't have any issues until I flashed my first custom rom. It worked perfectly after flashing it then out of the blue I noticed it wasn't working.
I flashed back to stock and it started working again. Just this morning, after a few days, when I needed the GPS for navigating a trip, I noticed it wasn't working again. I rebooted the phone and it was working again. Is it possible that something is interfering, such as turning wifi on/off? I'm not sure, but I think the reason for this not working at times is deeper than reseting the GPS data and it should work properly in stand alone mode.

This is really killing me, someone please help lol heres how it goes
On boot, takes a good bit for the 3G icon to appear, eventually Phone has 3G icon gray with arrows then switches to D [still gray], i click something like a browser or Slack Radio it goes to connect and if its fast enough it does [icon changes to RED/GREEN arrows] but usually its a gray D, then the icon disappears completely. After about 60 seconds or so the icon reappears and I can continuing surfing the net/listen to music..etc. Then after about a song or 2 this happens all over again. Im in place with good reception and i just dont know what could be going on here. I tried pulling battery, doing the *228 option 2...anyone know how i can fix this
just tried hard reset, no dice
A nice excuse to call verizon and get a replacement device (most likely for free).
I've called them, they try and shoot me over to Samsung, samsung trying to tell me to get a hold of my 3G service provider...verizon did tell me i was due to upgrade, but i love this phone (when 3G worked) i just dont understand what froyo did, when im downloading stuff it works fine, but as soon as I stop and try to access something use 3G i have to wait for the 3G to "reboot" so to speak cuz thats when it disappears for minute, then comes back for me to use...but with streaming music you can see how this is an issue
I was having this same problem when they were pushing the EA28 update a couple of weeks ago which never successfully updated to my device I might add. I went into the Verizon store and after the rep spent about 10min on the phone with whoever.... Told me they were sending me a new phone. Received new phone with the EA28 update already installed 3G and all data worked GREAT! Attempted the Froyo update 6 times yesterday all unsuccessful and now the new phone I have is having the exact same problems with data connection. Comments and ideas would be appreciated. But ya better believe I'm goin into Verizon if the update attempt I'm doing now doesnt work.
I'd get another replacement from verizon tbh. If then it still doesn't resolve your issues ask to speak with a manager and tell him your situation. They might hook you up with a free upgrade.
Im going to go down to the store so I can get a face to face and show them whats happening. I mean i just wanted to make sure this wasnt some new thing on Froyo that im not understanding. I see it goes "D" [dormant] but it shouldnt disappear and take a minute to start up and let me use it right...thats poppycock!
Are you using "juice defender" by any chance?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You're lucky that yours just takes a minute to re-establish the connection, mine will just keep giving me network errors and telling me to check network access ect., depending on what app/service I am trying to connect. Exactly the same things that happened when the EA28 updates kept failing on my last phone only 2weeks ago. Also the Froyo update that says will take 15min to download takes over an hour even though my 3g stays on constantly when downloading from Verizon.

Had it installed [but not in use] when I updated to Froyo, but I just did a hard reset and am still getting issues...
...my Froyo update came in in about a 1/2 hour or so, no drop issues ever when I was on 2.1, my 3G icon stayed in the status bar even when I was out of service range [it would go in to 1X] but on froyo its just disappearing no matter where i am]
This crap has happened ever since the first "froyo" modem leak for me (but not like I could call vzw and complain though until now) and had to resort to using the DL09 modem to increase my usage reliability by a small percentage. This crappy service only seems to affect people in certain regions, you all see where I live (look to the left) and you guys should update your profiles to reflect at least a region. I odin'd all the way to stock and did the ota's to froyo and ran stock froyo for 2 days with the same old ****ty results. I did get a replacement (in february) and still got the same exact dBm signal levels and data speeds at home that I had with the other device. But the voice mails with no missed calls and bulk texts and data lockups are really getting on my ****in' nerves. I'm so glad they finally did the ota cause I can guarantee that the issue will be wide spread in various regions. I spend all day driving around in a work truck with a coworker that has an epic (sprint) and he has absolute perfection in his service everywhere throughout the city. At the end of a 10 hour day I will have rebooted twice and have tws at 47% coworkers tws will be at 1% and he pays $35 less for unlimited everything, which is a kick in head too. Pondering etf to maintain my sanity and not be worried that my 70 year old mother is trying to call me with an emergency and having my **** go to voicemail. Now on to customer service to build a case. Ugh, pissed off rant over.
*edit* I use no juice defenders no task killers no set cpu or anything even remotely close to apps of that nature.
good day.
Not running juice defender or anything else for that matter, my phone is basically stock out of the box right now other than CWM 2.5.1, un-rooted. I did flash super user to phone after I received it, and that still appears in my apps list after factory reset but I am not rooted.
I've spent at least 8-10 hours [combined] searching the internet for issues like mine with the disappearing act the 3G icon is putting on, and i've noticed it to be a Froyo issue [even saw some complains on the Incredible on froyo and even on different networks other than verizon]. I'm not 100% sure its a Froyo bug, but either way it doesnt seem to affect everyone. I stream music a lot and i can't be having this damn 3G disappear on me and always reconnecting after like every 2 songs.....im off to verizon, i'll let you know what happens [tho they are prob going to offer me some kinda upgrade like they did on the phone, but i was happy with this phone at 2.1 and overall still am, i just want my 3G to stop glitching!]

I agree, just want my 3G to work the way it is suppose to. Dont really want an upgrade because I've never really gotten an upgrade that I actually thought was an UP-Grade. *From Verizon anyway* Still downloading software update, been well over an hour and at 73%. At this rate Verizon store will be closed by the time I'm done with this update attempt.
"UPDATE FAILED or INCOMPLETE. reason: IP_START_UPDATE" Anybody know the possible causes of this failure?
Sounds like you are indeed losing your IP address. I have also had sporadic problems but they seem to be in low service areas. Typically I remain stationary and use local wifi so it is unconfirmed.

Just got back from Verizon, non of the techs could figure it out, i got this phone awhile back from a friend [so naturally theres no warrenty..etc] so im stuck gonna have to hit craigslist and such to find a new one, then sell this one i guess
FINALLY FOUND A FIX [or should i say it found its way to me thanks to myself posting this issue on multiple forums lol] I can confirm that method 2 has worked for me. Dont just dial *228 with fascinate already activated, you have to remove the service completely [by activating another phone is how i did it] then reactivate it and you should be good to go.

Hello,
When I teke my xperia s on the first ride I realized that the gps freezes after about 10 - 20 minutes. I started testing on google navigation app, and the same sytuation in on Sygic navigation and GPS status & toolbox. Gps reciver is working fine for few minutes and after that period of time stops. The gps icon on status bar is blinking and programs are waiting for walid gps signal. Does anyone has the same problem ?
Best Regards !!!
Arek
Just got it yesterday, so will gonna test it first.
I've just reinstall system. After that ... the same. Gps stops after 10-20 minutes !!!
I have not got the phone yet, but I would say go and get a replacement.
I hope that's a one off,I get the phone tomorrow and that's one of the things I need to work without problems, anyone else having issues with it?

Right, more or less after 45min.
Phone was charging in kitchen, google navigation on, looked on screen about 2-3 in that 45min and never lost a signal.
I haven't had problems with my gps so far. I used it twice on trips (both times longer than 25min) with google navigation and used it numerous times for a few of my apps and it hasn't cut out on me yet.
I will keep track of it, but it hasn't failed me yet.
H've restet to factory settings. And after reinstal i have strong signal inside building on the secound floor of five. Maybe the problem was in logs of the gps reciver. I will keep my eye on it. Tommorrow again in the trip I will test the device. Many thanks for all !!!
Unfortunately, the same problem begins. Today I came to office. During the trip about 40 minutes all were quite good but after one hour gps stops. After reboot all is perfect but how long... Today I will go to the service center...
I am back at work on Wednesday, so test it properly then.

I've got the exact same problem over here is Singapore. My brand new set would suddenly lose gps signal after some minutes, no matter what app I used to test for signal. So definitely not software issue. Soft reset (yes, while driving!) solves the problem. Happened several times in last 4 days.
I'm a 10-year user of PDA GPSs so I'm very sure there's a hardware issue here. Really appreciate akaliszczuk's response after he returns from sony service centre so the rest of us know if we need to do the same. Thanks man. Also appreciate that you started this thread, cos it was hard to find any info about this, esp for such a new phone.
Very disappointd for such a beautiful product. Its gps fix is actually insanely fast at about 1-2 seconds!
Software used: copilot live 8.2, google maps, gps status (exact same suite I use in my old HD2 that never had a problem)
Hi,
Today i got the same problem (first time use of nav), using sygic or maps doesnt matter.
Did have to reset my phone 5 times in 1 hour navigate.
Looked in the settings, there is a app called Power Saver.
There you can turn Off and On functions at a % level of the battery.
Deleted the app and my drive home ( 1:30 hour) i did not have any problems.
Hello again, I was in office of Polish Distributor. They cange my phone to a new one. I havent any time for testing but tommorrow I will !!! I'll try to delete Pover Saver app too. But the first I will start with this app.

Interesting link, because when it was working for 1:30 hour the phone was also in flight mode.

4) this also not happen in Flight mode, and perhaps it is the most important information, so is not an hardware problem.

Will try it tomorrow without the flight mode.
Test again in the trip outside the city. The new one Xperia s and... the same problem. With data transwer on and off with and without Pover Save app. After about 20 minutes gps lost signal on several apps. IP4 had antena gate, but new Sony's flagship has its own... gps gate Waiting for ICS ? Tell me that it is a joke !!!
Well, the title says it all. I recently had a predicament where my device wasn't receiving 4G. We came to the conclusion it was the SIM card.
My phone is pulling at least 9 MB/s usually, but when I load an app, 3 that come to mind are Facebook, Google Reader, and Google Now, it takes at least almost as long as 3G speeds to load anything... I just cleared the data on the Facebook app, tried to log in, and it took so long that it timed out and won't log in.
What the **** is going on with my phone? I got a replacement shipped to me, but I already sent it back due to the fact that I got my 4G connection back. It seems as though whenever I load anything, there's always this..... extreme delay to get everything started. If I open up Google Chrome, the phone moves insanely fast browsing. I don't understand what is holding back the other apps from pulling in a good connection.
Can anyone tell me what is going on with my device? I'm getting frustrated as hell.
Anything?

Random, not probable, and i'm just thinking out loud since no one else is... haha
But, does it act that slow all the time (in those certian apps, or all around)?
When you conduct your speedtests, are you in the same location as when you are trying to use those apps that load slow?
The reason i ask, is because i recently troubleshooted data speeds on my phone that were frequently occurring, well as it turned out the "frequently" was only when i was in my barracks room. I conducted a test inside my room, slow as hell, i stuck the phone out the window and conducted a test, and it was instantly the 4G LTE Speeds. (Note:I have ALWAYS gotten good speed in my room up until like 4 days ago) I don't know if verizon changed something, or the tower changed or what, but it was random and yeah...

I've tried speed tests in various locations, and they're all pulling good MB. I've not dipped below 3 MB at all. It's definitely not a room situation either because I've tried it in different parts of my city and different houses/buildings. It's strictly my device.
Ugh... I have to call them again to get this issue fixed now. :l

I've tried speed tests in various locations, and they're all pulling good MB. I've not dipped below 3 MB at all. It's definitely not a room situation either because I've tried it in different parts of my city and different houses/buildings. It's strictly my device.

Call them so they can what, tell you to enable/disable your data connection, then power off your phone for 30 seconds and restart, put it in airplane mode and then back out, then if all else fails restart the phone from scratch? lol
Sorry i couldn't help.
When u open app for first time it is slow, bit if you close app and reopen it, is it fast on reopening or just as slow? I know when I usr cache cleaner the first time I open apps it takes an extra sec to pull them open.

The only issue ive experianced is a lag and delay. Example in xda app hitting the next button for the page just sits there and I press it again then about 10 seconds later im up 2-3 pages at once.
Its the internal. App data requests that are lagged behind at times.
