Hello everyone!
Well not sure what has happened but my GPS no longer wants to lock on to any satellites.
It was working great two days ago but just no longer works as of yesterday and today.
I have tried soft resetting the phone many times along with tools from the gps status apps.
I have also tried clearing data from google maps but still with no luck
Any help will be greatly appreciated... I really need my Google Navigation to work for school and work
Thanks in advance!

The only thing I've ever done is clear the AGPS data using GPS Test. That seems to do the trick. Seems like I have to do this every 3 days or so.
I just tried and it did not work
I'm in the same boat but my gps stopped working after a rom flash at some point. Did you also flash a new ICS rom in the past couple of days?
I'm looking for a solution since I am going to be using my gps real soon. I've tried flashing the GB radio and that didn't seem to help. The only thing that seems to work is if I flash back to a GB rom or a leaked ICS rom.
That might be the solution for you if you recently updated your rom. I'm surprised that there aren't more people complaining about the gps which leads me to believe that there are probably different chipsets for the gps or something in the radio where only a select bunch of phones are affected.
I work for DHL and use my GPS every day. Mine stopped working too, I thought it was the actually GPS module as I wiped and reflashed CM9 and AOKP and still the same. What I did was flash back to a stock modded rom and modem for Telus and viola it worked! Im gonna flash back to CM9 and see what happens.
Crap there is a fix that is floating around, in fact it was a fix and a revert back to normal if the fix didn't work, and the fix didn't work for anyone but the revert back to stock was fixing everyone's GPS (including mine). I searched the forum before posting this but I didn't find it, but I have the files on my laptop.... trouble is I don't know how to post them here?
Is everyone confirming that there gps is not locking on to any sattelites via gps test from the play store?
I'll try and figure out how to get those files to you guys in a minute.... hang tight.

^this is the gps fix that doesn't work but you gotta flash it to get the revert to work. So flash this one first.
http://db.tt/M0u538wH
Ok this is the revert back to stock, its a flashable zip so give it a try and let me know
I found a couple of fixes that didn't work for me (updating the gps.config file and flashing the GB modem) but might for others. I don't remember where I found the config file but I think if you search for gps.config you should see it in the Q&A somewhere.
I also found that when I flashed the CM10 Phandroid rom the newest with working video record my gps is back to working again. So I'm thinking there has to be some thing in the newer kernel that is blocking an apps ability to turn on the gps and if you manually turn off/on it won't stay active.
I think I'm going to stick with the jelly bean for now until I find a reason to switch to either a GB rom or something like one of appdroid's leaked kernel LF5 roms. (IMO - appdroid's roms seemed to play really nice with my Note)
*** Updated - Sorry LittleRedDot I totally missed your uploaded links. If I flash back to BlackStar I will give your flashable zip a whirl... Thanks!
I contacted ATT they said it is Samsung GPS software and hardware, so call Samsung, the more the better.

What didn't work for you? Have you tried downloading GPS Test from the market and seeing if you're locking on to any sattelites.
Well after several weeks of GPS unstability, I pestered ATT today, and they agreed to send me a replacement Note. Of course I have to send the defective one back.
I tried to force it to go to GB, once it was back on GB, the GPS was still flakey.
I am hoping the replacement will work like GB did before. The rep said she thought JB was available, and then recanted the statement.
LOL

The GPS fix that you posted and the revert. And I just did and im getting from 1 to 3. I cleared AGPS and also updated it. From the instructions i get, it works it set GPS location set. However when i go to google maps app its still off not where im actually at. Also when doing navigation it never locks, it says searching GPS signal...this is frustrating

Wow just tried something and it seemed to work i got right where im at also got a lock on navigation in gmaps and started working. Having GPS test open and pressing home instead of back button left it on in the background basically. I got it to work...wierd huh? And if i dont do this (leaving GPS test in the background and closing it by pushing back button to exit it) it wont work and GPS is way off...any idea. Also if you guys are having GPS issue. Try this and see if it works.

Im using 4g and have even tried only on edge. Havent tried wifi.
Edit: Well I was too tired to flash JB last night. But I did it this morning and man oh man is this ROM sexy!!! It seems to work perfectly (I don't use Netflix) and to top it off with a cherry jellybean it FIXED MY GPS problem. It gets a lock within 10sec without the GPS test app!! Loving my Note again!!

Didn't see anywhere in the thread if the bluetooth was or wasn't working. Just though I'd let you guys know that bluetooth crashes my Tbolt. I've tried it a few times, just turning it on crashes and when I try to view the bluetooth menu. And now I'm stuck in a bootloop. This is my first post and due to the sight rules I can't post on the actual thread, perhaps a mod can move this to it. Otherwise this has been great!
Try flashing the imoseyon kernal. This should fix your Bluetooth issues.

You're talking about this one, correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086518
I see that it is a GB kernel and this is an ICS rom. I don't know if that makes a difference. Still pretty new at this, that's why I'm asking.
My apologies. No you cannot use this with ICS. Its early in the morning and thought I read the title to be about Jesters other ROM Jellyblur (GB ROM themed to look like ICS). There are no custom kernals yet for the Thunderbolts ICS until HTC drops the source. I will try to re-create this issue and I will get back with you unless someone gives a solution before me lol. Once again my apologies.
If you are in a bootloop you may have to re-wipe and re-install the ROM. It may have been a bad flash if BT was not working and caused a bootloop.
EDIT: although irrelevent for this ROM, the link you provided is an outdated custom kernal. The Dev has since then updated to 6.2.1

Hi,
Well you are in luck I had the exact same problem today and finally found the fix. I was using the . 9 radio was working fine so thought its ok but since bluetooth was my only issue I flashed ( in hboot) the . 19 radio and now no bluetooth problem. Not only turn it on and off able to use it!
Phone has not rebooted once since I did this.
Hope this helps you out,
Bryan
Swannyman, I suggest you to try out what trapperjohn found before you wipe. I have also heard reports of the latest radio fixing these issues also.

I love it when a plan comes together.

That bootloop sucks.
I wonder if this radio came out when the leak was initially released.
Would explain why on gingerbread we didn't see a big change but obviously the minor change in it was for ics.

Since the problem got solved...figured I'd jump in with a couple issues that I'm having with this rom.
1* I go into settings and to my apps. When I click an app and it brings up the space used and other info...everything says computing and doesn't show a value. I'm trying to move my apps to the SD and it does nothing since they wont compute. Anybody with this issue...a fix?
2* When I get a SMS, the LED keeps blinking after the message is closed or replied to. It stops after a few minutes, but its annoying. I have GoSMS.

1. Wait and let it total all the apps before entering to move them. It may take a minute if you have a lot of apps.
2. That's a bug with gosms. I never could figure out a fix other than disabling the led notification.

Hi,
Have you rebooted since installing the rom?
Usually a reboot and waiting 5 after boot corrects this problem.

This should fix your issue with GPS not locking and GPS not acquiring satellite!

This is an issue with samsung and specifically samsung verizon products ie: S2 S3 Note, Note 2 etc...

I did this after fighting for days with my gps...allot of people are using wifi location and thinking they are getting a lock...I used this after getting 0/0 satellites and now getting 13/21...very accurate...I tried this in my house...did not work...only outside(I know its in the instructions)...thanks

The issue with GPS is within the rom. Differedt Devs use differet things to make sure that all things work. Please read your rom forum to make sure you do not have issues. GPS is a problem with "some" roms until the devs include the needed libs. There is no simple fix as of yet.
I have no idea what y'all are talking about. What problem with gps? and what rom are you all using?

While that was true when the phone came out by now the devs have blaced those libs in and are testing different ones because it will fix 95% of the peoples GPS but there are still the fringe 5% that it doesnt get fixed. It isnt just a ROM problem, devs in the S3 forums theorized that there was still data left over from your previous rom and that was causing the issue but there is no consensus on what exactly is causing the problem. I believe it is the previous ROM leaving things behind because on the S3 and this phone if GPS doesnt work from the start a quick flash back to a TW ROM, activating GPS, getting a lock, and loading your nandroid or reflashing your rom will have it fixed. The same thing happened with the NFC on the S3 and the fix was the same, so it seems the TW ROMS are leaving behind bits and pieces.
This is easier than the flashing a different rom process and it works for a lot of people, including myself, so it most definitely works, it just may not work for everyone. Then again nothing on any phone works perfectly for every single person.

There is people having problems with getting the gps to ping in. After flashing a rom. Well here is a fix for everyone having problems. .
Steps to take
1.Reboot into recovery
2.Backup everything up
3.Reboot into recovery
4.WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
5. FACTORY RESET
6. WIPE DATA
7. WIPE THE INTERNAL SD CARD
8.Flash your favorite rom
9. Reboot system
10. Once you have your phone up and running. Go outside and run your gps.
Or you can just use file manager. And delete the Android file in internal sd card. Restart your phone. Then follow step 10. All should work. .

Yeah, I don't know. Also, kind of redundant - as factory reset covers everything but wiping internal sdcard.
I can get GPS to run on each and every ROM I run and I've never followed these steps. Download GPS Status from market first. Turn on wifi and GPS - then open Maps. Then open GPS Status. It will say 'Maps updated to latest version'. Type in an address and start navigation. Place in window sill until it locks. Once it locks once - you're good.
Everytime.

I've never had gps problems ever till I flashed novella rom. I haven't had a gps lock on it yet, but I haven't needed it and I really like this rom, but I'll try your idea first because the first one will take a while.

I read somewhere in the Novella thread that if you flash another rom that has working gps, run the GPS Fix app, once it fixes gps, back up that app and restore the rom with broken gps. Then restore GPS Fix app, run it.

A few months back I had working GPS on ParanoidAndroid. I let my brother use this phone for a while, and now I'm back. He used a flash of CleanROM while he had it.
As soon as I got this phone back, I flashed to the newest CM nightly. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed a problem with GPS yesterday.
I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem today. I've flashed VRALJB (after wiping system/data/internal sd) and have done nothing but log in to the App Store and download GPS Test. I usually have no problem getting a fix at my desk indoors, but I've walked outside with this thing too. I see 28 satellites in view, but it's stuck at 0 in use. No matter what I do, it says "In Use 0". This is driving me bonkers.
Edit: Going to try sitting it on the windowsill with nav running. Will report back.
Edit2: Nothing is working. On an old version of beans, only because I know it used to work. Currently 19 in view, 0 in use. Going to give up until I go for a drive or something.

I think it's really just getting the lock then immediately flashing new ROM. That worked on s3, razr, lg spectrum and my note. One if the spec devs figured out why it worked, but I can't recall anymore. It was some command it called when working that the bad ROM wasn't and for some reason when it was active it would last through a flash.

Usually deleting and resetting the gps files through the app "gps status" (found in the playstore) works for me within 20-60 seconds, but in my worst case scenario(so far) I did have to reflash scott's verizon patch[newest radios] and THEN run the app, but other than that I think ive been pretty lucky. Never had to reflash any rom to regain gps lock...
I flash ALOT... and also yes.

Yes, definitely. More than one time. I'm on the newest radios if that makes any difference. Starting to wonder if the gps hardware has gone bad.
When I'm wiping, I'm flashing to a rooted/deodexed VRALJB. Can't get a lock on that or on CM.

Format your internal sd card from your computer. If you know how to. Then pull battery and then restart your phone. Then try to ping the gps. Backup your pics or anything else you dont want to lose. You wont brink your phone by doing this.. its just wiping all the bull crap that built up..

4) Install VRALJB
5) Reboot system
6) Skip setup wizard and go straight to Maps... nothing
7) Sign in to Play store and download GPS Status... nothing
8) Update AGPS data... nothing
9) Toggling off/on Verizon location service.... nothing either way
Back when I used to be able to get a fix with this phone, I would have vertical bars underneath where it says "In View" and "In Use". I'd see them bouncing up and down even before I truly had a fix. I get absolutely nothing now. No movement at all. Indoors, outdoors... I took it for a walk with me today and got nothing. :crying:
Edit: Screw it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but I'm going to Odin and re-jailbreak. Will report back.
Edit2: I ran Odin, jailbroke and restored a backup. No difference. Maybe I shouldn't have restored the backup. Sigh...
So even a stock rom won't give you a gps lock? What about before you unlocked/rooted again? Have you tried to go completely back to stock, then a gps lock? If that doesn't work. Give Verizon a call for a replacement.

Yeah... I just Odin'd again and decided to test before I jailbroke/rooted/anything. No GPS at all on stock VRALJB. Looks like I'll be doing an insurance replacement here in the near future. Don't know what else I can do.
I had to go back to stock, but it worked. I got a GPS. Then I rooted and stopped there. Five minutes later I busted the screen, so I will report with my new phone tomorrow.

I am on Jedi Rom. Gps won't work no matter what. Won't work on Google maps, won't work on navigation, won't work in any apps. Its accurate up to 3200 meters... That's over a freakin mile. Anyone have a fix for this? It worked fine before I went to this rom.
I need this fixed soon because I'm taking a trip and need my phone for navigation.

Just download it and that's it or do I need to open it up somewhere and install it? Because it didn't work after I downloaded it.
I tried every fix posted in the last month. Nothing worked.
Flashed all kind of zip's that said it would fix the GPS lock. NADA
Flashed ROM's that Guaranteed to fix the GPS. NADA
Installed apps that said it would get lock. NADA
Nothing worked so as a retired Submarine Missile Technician I went to the nuclear option.:fingers-crossed:
I got a Rom I thought would be close to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261478 got the Deodex ver.
Reformatted the Micro sd (fat32)
Booted to recovery and "factory reset" 5X
Wiped Cash and delvac 5X
One more reset. (Said I was nuking it)
Flashed the rom and Gapps, went outside and got Lock
Did what I do be overkill?......yep. But I got GPS lock back. (also flashed Faux kernal and kept lock)
Never had luck with my GPS while on AOSP roms then I found the agps fix
Add ro.agps.allow=false to your build.prop and reboot

I really like this rom and would like to keep it...
I know its a noob question, but how do I add that to the build?

If you're willing to try something switch to global mode reboot and try gps again. You may need to use an app like pimp my rom. You'll most likely lose data. This works on moon rom, obviously this makes the rom unusable for anything phone related until you switch back to lte which losses gps. If anyone is willing to try this let me know if it worked for you. I'm trying to figure out why some of us are affected with this weird issue.

I had the same problem, tried every fix I could find, nothing worked. Finally unrooted back to stock and then got a GPS lock. Then rerooted and haven't had any issues on any rom thus far

Unrooted with Odin yes.
Hi all I been wanting to use the Touchwiz Jedi 14 ROM for a while now. Only problem is no matter what I do I cannot get GPS to lock. When I open maps the GPS icon doesn't show up showing its searching. I have to open navigation to see its searching. I have downloaded this ROM 4 times, each time to try something new. Does anyone have any advice? I really want to run this ROM, but I gotta have GPS. Any help or direction is always appreciated.

I had same issue....all I had to do is go back to your previous rom and turn in gps and get a lock . .then go straight into recovery and flash jedi!!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
That worked for you? I tried that once with no luck. I will give it another try though. I just loaded pacman and was about to set it up. Thanks for your input.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yes It worked for me....I flashed stock rom and turned on gps, got a lock and went directly into recovery and flashed jedi, worked right away!! Hopefully it will work for you also

Also if that don't work. ...try the gps quick fix under jedi rom tricks
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I tried the quick fix before with no luck. Gonna give the lock and switch a go once more, maybe without a wipe. I really hope I can get a lock. GPS is very important to me. I love the way Jedi looks and runs. Just enough customization for my taste.
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Any luck?! If that dont work I would maybe try jedi 13 and see if gps works, I installed it on acouple friends phones and gps worked on both right away. Just an option....

Jedi ROMS and GPS
I have flashed several Jedi ROMS over the last two years and I have always gone back to stock for the sole purpose of GPS. I have tried all the fixes and none of them have ever resolved the problem for me. I like many others LOVE the Jedi ROMS but require GPS to function as well as it does on stock ROM. When a GPS fix that is solid comes around, I will be right back on Jedi. I would love it if someone could find and honest clean resolution for this issue.

I feel you man. Definitely feel the same way. I have heard of several Verizon Jedi users getting there lock, but not me. I have tried everything I know to try at least 5 times each (literally). I am in the same boat as you, gotta have my GPS working. I am gonna keep trying with each new update though.
