I've used a few Jelly Bean ROMs since switching to Straight Talk last night on my unlocked Note. Everything works fine on Straight Talk except GPS. Just can't seem to get a signal no matter what I do.
Are there any non-stock ROM's (preferably JB) that GPS works 100%?
Thanks!
I have tried almost all the roms...And use gps daily...The worst I seen is its lock time connecting...but it eventually works..also a gps fix I seen somewhere.Plus a Gps app that helps fix connection gime to satellites
But the best fix is to change out you cong files to a better region...
And you can also save google maps for OFFLINE so you can use it????
Just save the files..and open it up when needed!
CM10 nightlies lock on pretty quickly and repeatedly. May want to give them a try.

The above app has a feature that will reset the aGPS data and download new data as well. Works extremely well when traveling overseas or in a new area.
Trying CM10 now (latest build)...gotta get this GPS working...other than this the Note and Straight Talk has been awesome!

I have no problems with GPS, been using Dagr8's ROMs for a while, King Kang, currently using the AOKP JB B5.
I found this for saving offline maps..hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412755
Well I installed Cryagen Nightly CM10 (version released today) and still no GPS...tried King Kang and AOKP with the same results...even been outside fir a while with still nothing.
Download the app for the play store in my first post. It will give you an option to download a-GPS data. Once the note has that lock on is about 5 seconds.
Tried this and still doesn't work. I'll be calling Straight Talk tomorrow if no one has any more suggestions!
Thanks!

why not connect to wifi so its faster at home or what not..Then just save the maps for offline use? ..for now anyways till you find a more stable connection..least it will help if you need to get somewhere..the maps you can save are huge...
I am on straight talk as well for about two weeks. I needed navigation and realized i couldn't get it to work. I have tried a few different thing as well. No dice. I would be interested in how your conversation goes with ST. Please give a update.

TO Kinz1980:
Have you actually tried to go out and about with the GPS or are you just sitting inside trying to get it to work? Also, have you tried different ROM's and what not? Read below to see my (possible) fix and current experiences.
Well, while on the phone with Straight Talk to see what the issue COULD be I was standing outside with them on the phone and all of a sudden my GPS started working. Maybe I wasn't thorough enough in my own testing (actually walked out to the street today...previously I was just on my porch)?
I tested it a few times with closing the app, restarting it...locks on to my position damn quick and is very accurate...to a degree (see below). Also my phone died this morning so maybe the battery hitting 0 then recharging or something did it, I don't know for sure.
All I know is that its working (using CM10 nightly build) with Google Navigator for the most part. I will use it later today IRL when I've got to go to a friends house then update once I know its actually WORKING turn-by-turn.
I know when I was outside today it was a tad slow in updating my position (walked about 100ft up the street a few times and it was very slow to notice the change in location/direction or didn't change at all on some occasions) and a couple times the GPS signal would drop for a few seconds, etc. So like I said, I'm going to do more thorough testing here in a bit and update with my final results.
All I do know is that it is at least WORKING...may not be super good at this point, but I am getting a lock. Its a start!
I was driving when it was not working. When i am at home it uses wifi. i am using the blackstar Rom right now. I like cm roms but i like yo use the s-pen. I guess i could flash a different Rom and see if this makes a difference. I don't use gps on a daily basis but when i use it i need it to work. I will be watching this thread closely.

I was having the same issue, and slowly realized that the jb gapps was the issue for me. If I used the July gapps for JB it would get a signal and work, but if I used an updated version of gapps, it would not work. Might try installing the July JB gapps and see what happens. It only took me four days to finally figure out what was wrong, becuase it was working before the update to a newer gapps.
This is after 20 min moving around inside and outside.

So do you just have to NOT update them gapps then? I understand what you are saying...but Google Maps isn't even part of the gapps package. So what is updating in the gapps that breaks functionality?

Hey guys, I'm what you would call somewhat of a novice user. My GPS when using the actual satellites doesn't work anymore. It can only use the cell tower triangulation method which is useless for the turn by turn navigation app. It worked fine until I followed this guide to flash custom roms, unlock the bootloader etc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=113626
After I did that, the battery life was very poor so I installed edgan's kernel from the same page. The phone, rom, battery etc worked great except the GPS. Any ideas how I can fix this? I'm on Bell Canada if that makes a difference. Any more info let me know! Thanks.
edgan's kernel ? its old ...
Try testing the GPS with softwares like: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest and https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
I recommend you unlock your bootloader, install recovery with ROM Manager, install good rom such as CM7 or Aura or DarkSide or HomaBase, install the latest radio and good kernel if you want.

I suppose this is somewhat of an update. Kernel seems good, good battery life. The GPS works now but takes an eternity to lock on. Can someone suggest a fix? Would a new rom, radio etc fix that? I hate to be such a bother but I use the GPS daily for jogging and turn by turn navigation. I'm inexperienced and don't want to cause further problems so I'll wait this time before I do anything. Thanks again.

Try this guide for fixing GPS problems : https://code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ
Other than that, i think you should full wipe everything (data,cache,dalvik-from recovery), install a new rom, install new radio, install the faux123 kernel.
I did all this yesterday and my gps now works great and locks in a few seconds .
There seems to be some kind of inconsistent GPS issue with the Atrix. On my Atrix (US-ATT) sometimes, but not always the GPS will not get a "fix". This seems to only happen occasionly however. It seems to work better if the first use of the day is when the phone has cell tower service.
Perhaps there is a related GPS issue. The Atrix only registers an "accuracy" value of zero.
This has been noted in the following link:http://community.developer.motorola...o-Location-Accuracy-on-Gingerbread/td-p/17116
Ok well I've tried a new kernel, used GPS status to calibrate compass and installed a new radio and nothing has worked. I'm assuming I need a new rom then. Can anyone suggest a good rom? I saw the CyanogenMod 7 thread but it says the fingerprint scanner won't work. I use that all the time so I would prefer not to sacrifice it if there are other good roms out there. I'm hoping for some suggestions and then I'll get on that to see if it fixes my GPS issue. Thanks guys.

Look at their features, read the comments and pick the one the look good to you.
If I am having trouble with my GPS I will...
turn the phone off
take out the battery
then put it back in.
Most of the time the GPS will then work.
i've never had the gps not work completely on the atrix. i've noticed that with certain roms and radios will take longer to get a signal and less reliable once locked. not sure if this will fix your gps problem but try flashing homebase its one of the best roms out there and gps works great for me, i get a signal lock in my house. it also doesnt loose any features like CM7 with webtop and fingerprint. it will install the latest kernal(faux), rom(2.3.4), and radio(1.77.30). its very easy to flash just use CWM or rom manager. theres a few versions of homebase, try the blue chronic and update using blue chronic 6.2. remember to clear cache before you flash and run the finalizer after the update.
Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't see this before I installed the alien rom and I must say I love the look. The GPS works great now too. Everything is in working order and worked fine for about 3 days and then today my battery wouldn't charge past 65%. I'm in the process of killing it to 0 and then charging it back up too see if that will fix it. Anyone else heard of this?

The battery thing happened to me yesterday on stock GB. I think Diviance mentioned that he's seen this a few times on Aura, as well as some other ROMs. I just kept using it as normal, and I think after my 3rd charge it went back to 100. (I had just re-calibrated my battery so I was too lazy to do it again.)
You can try discharging as you mentioned, but other than that I haven't seen a sure fire fix for this. It seems to pop up over and over, across different ROMs.
Oh as long as it fixes itself eventually, no worries. Thanks alot for the info!

After many weeks of GPS not locking, or taking 5 plus minutes to lock on the recent leaked AT&T ICS ROM's I have found the problem. Not everybody has a problem, but many of you do.
No matter what I did, GPS simply wouldn't work. Flashing back to stock, re-flashing several ICS ROM's with complete wipes of the phone including EMMC and SD card did nothing. The last AT&T leak, as well as the official did nothing to fix the problem. As soon as I flashed back to sauROM or any gingerbread ROM, GPS would start working perfect, with 6 second lock, but back to ICS and GPS would quit again. Last week I finally found and fixed the problem. I flashed the radio from the gingerbread bread ROM on several ICS ROM's including the new official, and it's worked perfect for the last week. The UCLF5 leak and the New official AT&T ROM. I'm running Flapjaxxx ROM with no issues. GPS locks in under 10 seconds, LTE here in Tampa, FL signal strength is the same as is LTE giving me 21MB down and 12MB up, on this UCLA1 radio. Just because it's an older radio, doesn't mean performance is effected.
Flash with Odin (I'm using v1.85) Don't unzip/extract and place it in the phone space, NOT PDA
Make sure phone is in download mode and you have the samsung USB drivers installed.
Nice work, The quirky inconsistent ics- GPS behavior is consistent with your discovery. I've had Stellar gps on gingerbread, but i have yet to test the gps with my newly flashed cm9 rom. If i experience the degraded performance being reported, i will give your procedure a go. Thanks for taking the time to shareware your findings.

Having had mostly good but sometimes quirky GPS since running Flapp ROM based off official ICS and having nothing better to do at 1am I gave this a try. I will say that on ICS I had either gotten a quick lock or it would take 15+ seconds to over 5 minutes for a lock and it varied with no pattern I could notice (reboots, charging status, time since last used, etc.). In another post I had noticed that my 'in use' satellites had decreased.
Initial results seem positive. Got more satellites 'in use' according to GPS test (compared to just prior to testing) and locks are back down to a couple seconds. Will be able to try it out again tomorrow after the phone has been on charge all night and I can drive with it. Maybe it's voodoo but If nothing else it doesn't seem to have worsened anything.

Same here! I flashed the GB radio on top of Flapp's ICS official ROM and GPS locks like it did when I was on GB...awesome! This kind of reminds me of my Blackberry days, using different radios and even hybrid ones, lol.

I have tried this on my last note and it did not make any difference. In the mean time at&t replaced my note and this new replacement seems to be working better so far. However, flashing this modem it takes a while to connect to lte network after reboot but once it connects it works fine.
i will report back tommorrow, need more time to test 2.3.6 UCLA1 modem.
after i flashed ucla1 radio, it locks really quick! then again, i always get fast locks after a reboot.
let see if it still fast locks tomorrow without the reboot.
Thanks a lot. I was having GPS issues where the connection time was taking at least 10mins or more and at that rate I'd reach my destination before I'd even get close to a solid lock. With this radio I am now getting 2 to 6 second GPS connections.
Works
I have been using this for a week... Even before the op posted. Locking satellites as it should when I was using ginger bread. No issue so far with xalls, text, or LTE. However, I found that during navigation with google nav, co pilot and waze. The tracking was drifted, lag behind. Not significant but you miss a turn if it freeze at the right moment. I kinda pissed that they screwed up one of the important function of the phone. Iused this daily so kinda frustrated. I meed to send complain to ATT and Samsung. Just wondered if ATT and Samsung are awared of thi issue.
I dot think its the modem I have tried it. I am on the official CM9 and GPS locks within seconds inside my house using the uclf6 modem.

Just to verify the GB radio works great paired with Flapps ICS ROM (official), I tested it as I drove around the city today. I was getting instant locks and accuracy within 10'. I honestly get the GPS locks I did on GB! It really works on my device WITHOUT ANY ISSUES and as with all things, ymmv.
I've been running deck's version for a couple months, keep updating, but GPS never works. And, yes I've tried the nand to sense and back.
Well, deck hasn't pushed an update on almost a week. No complaints, we all need down time. Not that he's actually taking down time, he could be pushing a huge update who knows.
Being a flashing addict, I decided to throw the official cyanogenmod version to get my flashing fix. I popped open GPS essentials, and bam fix in a few seconds. Not only that from inside my house, near a window it tracked 15 sats and locked 13.
Just thought I'd share, I know a lot of folks would love to have some GPS with their Jelly Bean.

Oddly..never once had any problems with GPS or locking. Always locks down to a foot or so on any ROM I have used so far, lucky I guess but haven't seen too many complaints of GPS related issues. This cell is like the OG EVO, every model is slightly different with results especially with OCing etc.. Glad it works for you!
My GPS has been working for months. But I did have to do the "flash to a Sense ROM" thing. Looking forward to the big update.
I'm surprised at the response. I've heard a lot of complaints about GPS with CM10. I have flashed every one of deck's updates as they came out from the IRC channel. I have even done full wipe multiple times, just to make sure it was clean. And never once have I had GPS work. Weird!
I guess each unit is different. Just odd that it instantly began working with the official nightly. It just seems too coincidental.
Did you get a good solid lock while on a sense ROM before going to recovery to flash AOSP. Works for me.

I haven't had a single issue but those who are need to either run GPS status to clear cache and download new agps data or flash sense and use ##gpsclrx# to clear cache and then open maps to get a lock and flash back to cmx. It's not ideal but it works
I can empathize with the thrill of having working GPS on an aosp rom.
Both on the OG Evo and this LTE it has been hit or miss for me.
I tended to shy away from aosp roms in the first place since CM7 and the endless bootloops some were having off of it on the OG.
When i would try one i liked and then the GPS and Nav wouldn't work, it would really be a drag. I would jump through all sorts of hoops to try to get it working but sometimes it would just not work for me.

Thanks for the response, but that's lasted through a few versions of cm10, I think.

I have had that work before too. I'd get a lock on a Sense rom, then use Titanium to back up my GPS Test app, flash over to the AOSP and restore it there and sometimes it would work.
Then I Nand it while it is working, flash another rom, decide to restore the 'working' gps nand, and it doesn't work again. I can't figure it out. :cyclops:

I'm still using Slim ICS with 4.0.4. The GPS is ok, it works but still not great. I don't think my phone will ever be great though. I want to try out SlimBean but it seems they are having GPS issues among other things.
Honestly, I've found that GPS can be a real hit or miss depending on your specific phone.
All hardware is not created equally, unfortunately. I'd suggest testing a few different roms and find which works best
for you specifically...because I've had luck with GPS on roms where users have reported bad GPS, and no GPS on roms where
awesome GPS was reported.
Good luck!

I would use either PA or CM10, but you need to flash the 3 gps fix files located somewhere in the PA thread. I would not use Slimbean 3.0 if you really need GPS since even if you do flash the files, no satellites come in view at all. I got a lock below 10 sec outside driving on monday at 7:30 pm. Accuracy was about ~25 feet, so it was really good. I was on CM10. Anyway, both have really good GPS as long as you have the 3 GPS files. They are called: GPS - Experia Files, YAGF2, and cwm-cm9-gps-wrap. Flash it in the order I wrote it in. They arent hard to find. Just type the names into Google. Or look in the PA thread. Good luck bro, and as Xenoism said, it also varies with device. If your device was made before Nov 2010, you probably wont get a lock no matter what unless you did the hardware fix. Even with the hardware fix, you'll still need these 3 files.
EDIT: Because I'm nice, I found the post where Jrafael posted the GPS files. It is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33575684&postcount=504
I have great gps with SlimBean and the 3gps fixes, its even better than my Galaxy Nexus. However, I owned a couple Vibrant and they all seem to have difference performance. Try the hardware gps fix if you're brave.
Note that for SlimBean if you patch mismatched patches it can make GPS stop working completely, only patch gapps from their own site.

Which version of Slimbean are you on? 2.9 works fine, but 3.0 is stone dead. (From my experience and a bunch of other members) I flashed the files and rebooted, tried getting a lock and not even one satellite appeared. Usually on other roms i get locks in less than 10 secs and after deep sleep, less than 20. I dont think he'll need the hardware fix if his phone is built after Nov 2010. But if its built before, then he'll definitely need it if he needs GPS that bad. That or get a new phone with GPS or buy a GPS :good:
Hey guys, can't post in the development section yet, so sorry this is here.
But I'm on 2/17 cm11 official nightly, and every time that I have my gps connect in Google maps, it completely kills my signal. It did this on 2/15 and 2/16 for me also.
Anyone have any clue as to why??

Strange, I've been following the nightly builds since 13/02/2014.
The nightlies seem quite stable to me. Just small things pop up, like: I keep my apks on my phone so it's easy to install them again. One apk I have is uTorrent, however I label it correctly with the Greek symbol and all.. the symbol comes out like Chinese and I can't install the apk because there is a parsing error.. Stock android displayed the symbol and installed it with no issue.
Anyhow, wrt the GPS, I was using TomTom yesterday and found that it really struggled to locate me, it would have my position, then the next thing it jumped somewhere else and made me very confused. I set the location setting to "high accuracy". I'm really unsure if it's cm11 causing the problems for me, although i didn't experience it before on stock. I did not notice a lost cellular connection though. Will try it out again and take note.
