Just updated to ed04 via ota. Then got root, reinstalled all apps that I backedup with titanium backup.
I was getting a bunch of forced closes and found out it was google search(probably because I still have bing and bbloat now) so I got rid of google search.
The main reason I wanted to get up to date is because on di01 I couldn't get gps to work at all.
It used to work and then all of a sudden it would never work. With all applications it just says can't find location.
What should I do?
If you are trying to toggle gps from the pulldown menu, you must have vzw or google location services ticked in settings. So the only way for the pull down toggle to work is to have one of those services selected in settings. It seems to have something to do with accepting the disclaimer in at least one of the services for the toggle to actually work. But if you don't want to use the location services you can only turn gps on from settings menu and not the pull down.
good day.
Chopperthedog knows his stuff so I would try what he said first but I've always had a problem getting gps to work on multiple different roms and the only way I got it to work was with gps aids from the market

I have been using CM for years, first on the Evo 4G and now on the GS3. Ever since I can remember, I've had issues with GPS on CM. In the Evo days, I always remember flashing a GPS fix (or doing a CLR fix after flashing in from a Sense ROM). Now, with the GS3, I continue to have challenges with GPS on CM. When I had the M builds, I had decent performance with GPS and could get the navigation to lock - as well as maps finding my location. Ever since I went to the CM10 stable build, the navigation just sticks on "waiting for location" and the maps cannot find my location. Super frustrating. I even switched over to AOKP for the time being as the GPS seems to be working great (as well as most of the other features).
I am still itching to get back to CM though...
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a flashable fix for the GPS problem in CM10 on the GS3?
2. I've seen that a few people flashed into ICS, locked nav, and then flashed back to CM - does this work? if so, after doing this, can I re-flash a backup or do I have to wipe clean first?
3. Even if one of the two fixes above works, will I still have sub-par performance with GPS?
Thanks in advance.
Not my answer, rochers from androidforums:
took me quite some time to figure this one out, thought i should post it here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
When i updated to android 4.1.2, i noticed that my google navigation stopped working. It would simply sit there endlessly "waiting for location..." fortunately, there's a simple fix:
1. Go to "settings > accounts > google > location settings".
2. Flip the switch to "on" (i found this was off in my case).
3. Try google navigation again, it should work fine.
I'm not sure why google decided to break up the location settings into two different places like this, but it's a bit silly imo as it's definitely going to catch some people out.
Found this solution on xda, cant post link, but this works.

I've been troubleshooting voice recognition issues for a while now dating back to the GS3 before I got the GN2. So this will not be phone specific.
This applies to an unrooted and locked GN2. In other words, full stock. I am running Go Launcher but that should not matter.
Statement of Problem ("Problem"): Google Now voice search, and Google voice recognition from keyboard microphone buttons, will often not connect to Google over 3G/4G with valid data connection, with the screen showing "Initializing" (when on Google Now) for 20 seconds and then "Can't connect to Google" message, or a frozen/suspended microphone icon when attempting voice recognition via keyboard. Note: The Problem does NOT happen when on WiFi.
Analysis: Google Now and Google voice recognition services work fine on wifi. When driving, signal shows 3G or 4G with 2 or more signal bars, however, Problem symptoms appear.I confirm 3G/4G data because web browsers work and Google Play store works.
During troubleshooting, I learned that Google Now and Google voice recognition services require an active internect connection - however I have confirmed I do have an active internet connection via 3G/4G because Google Play works. The stock voice recognition via stock keyboard does NOT require active internet connection. I have confirmed that the mic button on the stock keyboard always works over 3G/4G. I have confirmed the mic on Swift Key keyboard, when Google voice services is selected as input mode, does not work on 3G/4G but does on wifi. But this cant be a Swift Key issue because whenever the mic does not work, Google Now voice recognition does not work.
What I have ruled out: It always works on wifi. Almost always does not work on 3G/4G despite confirmed signal. I turned OFF wifi just in case the code has a bug thinking there should be a wifi signal which is not present. I tried turning OFF Google Now and still have same problems with Google search and Google voice recignition.
What I think i found: I uninstalled the Play Store Update for Google Search to return Google Search to stock version of Google Search App. As soon as I do that, Google Now and Google voice recognition services work again over 3G/4G.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, can you try and uninstall the Google Search update and go back to the Google Search stock app to see if it works? You can always reinstall the update to compare.
I am out of ideas. I want my Google Now and Google voice recog over 3G/4G in addition to wifi.

P.S. One last note..... I searched high and low on the internet and cannot find folks with this problem. So that tells me maybe it is a setting on my phone? But I am good at this... I cant figure it out. If my un-installationof the Google Search Update fixes this... I may have found an unreported bug! I am testing this solution now over next 48 hours.
I had the same problem couple times when not on wifi at home. Not big deal for me but will keep it in mind in case it go worst. Thanks

I notice the problem after I got the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon, and updated Google search. The Voice to text stopped working. That first update I believe was on December fifth 2012, and then the update of Google search today, December 13th 2012.
First update: 12/5/2012,
Second update: 12/13/2012.5pm EST
App update of Google Search
The app update downloaded just fine, no issues with the updated download at all.
No error messages at all.
When I install the update, the microphone on voice to text just times out. I can go to Google Now and when I hit the mic there it will time out a few times, but eventually it will light up and work that 1 time. Then have to hit it a few more times to get it again. But with text messaging, won't work at all. If I have already clicked on the mic button, and I get a notification of a new email, which goes to my bluetooth, it will light up and work that one time. Also just noticed that after the update, if I go to settings: bluetooth, and un click media audio, the update mic will then work. I have tried a few different bluetooth earpieces, blueant Q2, jawbone era, Motorola elite flip, and Motorola Silver, all with the same outcome.After update of Google Search, voice mic will not work unless media audio is un-checked, but then I lose navigation and all other messages to the bluetooth.

This solved another problem that was driving me nuts. Over Wi-Fi or 3/4G unlocking via personalized voice commands in S Voice (other than "Hi Galaxy") weren't working at least 75% of the time in totally quiet rooms. Uninstalling the Search update reversed the percenteges. Also getting S Voice to properly record the personalized voice commands was a hit or miss mess. That's not an issue now either. Google's got some work to do.
So far after 24 hours the Problem I identified in the first post is solved provided the Google Search update is NOT installed.

This might not even be device specific. I believe this is the same issue I observed on my wife's Galaxy Nexus this weekend. She just got the phone a couple of weeks before me, but doesn't really explore all the features. I was trying to demonstrate how cool Google Now and Voice was.....needless to say, the performance issues as you've noted here pretty much soured her to the idea of even bothering to use Voice search and google now.
I'll see if she has the update and try uninstalling it.
I haven't had any issues with it on my Note 2 however.
Confirmed on my phone that this happens. But I also found out that if I click the mic before waiting for everything to load in Google Now, the issue doesn't occur. Very odd...

I can confirm that the after one week of testing, the Problem disappears if the Google Search update is removed. Once I add the update back, the Problem begins again.
There is very little on the internet about this from my searching. It seems others on this thread can confirm the issue. Do you other guys not notice this happening or do you not use Google Now while on 3G/4G and no WIFI. If it's working for you (the majority of the time), do you have the Google Search update installed or is your phone factory stock and you never updated Google Search from the Play Store?
By the way I am not rooted or unlocked.
How do I tell Google about this? I mean someplace real where they'll respond if they know about it or log it for an app update? (yeah right).
Im root but I have not experience any problem. You can post your finding here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

Uninstalling Google Search did not solve the problem for me!

I have been searching the net to solve this problem and came across your post. This solution did not work on my Note 2. Very frustrating as the ability to speak a text is very convenient and necessary for me. I press the button and can not get the red to appear. When on WiFi it works. Please help with this because not a lot of folks are having the issue as nothing online....this may be the only thing. REALLY NEED THIS FEATURE! HELP!!!!!
Thanks! I'll post the issue to Google using that link.

Confirming.
Worked when I first loaded a custom rom...then after a week or so, Google search would just initialize. Based on this thread, I went into application manager and saw "Uninstall Update" which I did....now I'm gold again...
THANKS
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the GPS not working? The phone is able to determine my current location but is unable to actually navigate anywhere. Google maps never shows an arrow to indicate the GPS is locked. I've also used several Gps app to help correct it. I've done multiple resets and app updates I've even sent the phone back to Nokia twice just for them to tell me nothing is wrong. My phone is running the latest update as of March 11. Please help!

Review your 'Location' settings.
Go to Settings - - > Security & Location
Look for Location (it should say On) press to open Location menu screen, review all options shown.
Near bottom of list look for Scanning and select. This will bring up options to use wifi and Bluetooth to scan for positioning. Turn them both on.
They help even when not using. System uses to triangulate (better identify location).
Also check 'Google Location Accuracy'. I know from experience if that selection is off GPS will work, but navigation Apps are fairly useless.
Some suggestions. Hope it helps.

Tried all of that to no avail. They were already on so switched them off then on, checked maps, restarted phone and checked again.

Hello, I have this problem too, there is no solution
**************************
你好，我也遇到同样的问题，没办法解决。
turn off: Google Location Accuracy, GPS will working.
when open google maps, it will ask to turn on Google Location Accuracy .... select NO!!!
On my device, this worked. Download the app "GPS Test" from F-Driod (might be in Play Store? I never looked...) https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.android.gpstest.osmdroid/
In the app, click the "Clear assist data" wait a few minutes. I've waited between 1 - 20 minutes in the past. The GPS redoes all it's data and starts working again for me.
I had the same problem. Contacted Nokia, it's a known problem caused by an update.
About a month ago I received a new update and since then everything GPS related is working fine again.
I had the same problem and sent my phone to repair. They confirmed the issue and corrected it. Since then the GPS works well.

Everything worked well up to today. Since today same problem again. No GPS signal... Nothing seems to get it back working again... Big disappointment!
Hi there, I've just got this device for about a week and tryi ng to properly set this up. However I can't see to get my Google Pay/GPay working even though it shows as set up and ready for scanning.
Everytime I scan this at the counter, it just returns with an error and tells me to use my card. Let me know if anyone resolved this issue and how to please.
Thanks
Hi, I had the same problem and fixed it by changing the secure element to HCE Wallet. You can find it in settings under Connection & sharing.
I can confirm, changing to HCE Wallet solves this problem (Settings / Connection&Sharing / Default wallet / SIM Wallet

Thanks again man, I was struggling with this, and had already set up my Google Pay as the main wallet. This HCE Wallet setting did the trick!!
Another noob question but is anyone having issues with WhatsApp calls? my call overlays are not showing at all.
