Hi All,
Since I got the S3 I've been running the rooted stock ROM in preperation for a stable CM10 without any major issues. Yesterday I did it, downloaded CM10 and the latest gapps, did a CWM backup, wiped the phone and installed the new ROM.
Everything running fine apart from one thing.
Google Maps will not find my location using GPS, but if I enable the cell tower option then I get a rough position. Navigation gets stuck on 'Searching for GPS' and will not lock on to my location even though I have the solid Circle on the taskbar at the top. Other GPS applications such as Endomondo work fine and the GPS locks on quickly and is really accurate.
So I conclude that this is an issue with Maps/Navigation - I've no idea how to fix it. I was going to go back to an older gapps package but I don't think maps/navigation is included in the gapps packages, it certainly wasn't included in the latest one that I downloaded. I had to download Maps from the Play store.
Has anybody had this issue before?
Thanks
I have the same issue since I installed super nexus rom

I downloaded it and set it to Europe but it didn't make any difference.
As I said, the issue seems to be with Maps / Navigation, not GPS (Other GPS applications work fine).

I had the same problem yesterday after I flashed a MIUI ROM based off of CM10. I got my too work by enabling the Google location services, making sure to allow all permissions for the map app (LBE Guard app wasn't allowing some permissions), turning on GPS and then restarting my phone. After that maps picked up my location.

Its not maps is the problem. It picks up GPS in maps no bother, its when you switch to navigation it won't work. No one else seems to be reporting the issue on the super nexus thread so I'm not sure what's causing it

So I've tried enabling all of the location services and the maps application is more accurate (gives my position based on either wi-fi or network) but it still will not work. I've had no prompts from the Superuser application and I can't find a whitelist or anything where I can add maps to it.
What a bizarre issue....
Hi..yep we are also experiencing gps connection issues with google nav....with ELK4 leak...im now using Copilot and it works with no issues.

Ever since I got my Samsung Galaxy S III the google navigation app has not worked properly. I can get my location fine in google maps and other apps but for some reason when I try to use the navigation app it just says "waiting for location" until I give up and close the app.
I've found a few other threads on a similar issue but no apparent fix.
No custom rom or any other modifications. All location services are enabled and I've tried all variation of on/off for each.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!

I Would start with wiping data and cache for the app to see if that helps. If that does not work, try uninstalling the app and re-installing.

I assume this entails clearing data and cache for the Maps application? I can't seem to find a separate app for Navigation. Also, I assume, uninstalling and re-installing Maps?

Nope not rooted.
So after about three weeks of not working it randomly worked when i tried today. Perhaps something i tried actually worked but was delayed? Who knows. I'll update this thread if it stops again.
Same problem here with the Nav app, started a week or so ago - used to work just fine. And waze still works well.
i too have this issue. maps works fine but nav is completely broken, completely random. tired fastfix, nothing is working (i'm rooted and running xenonHD)
Same problem here, although only on custom ROM. Maps works, but Navigation is stuck on Waiting for Location....
Happens also on GNex
UPDATE - To fix this look at this forum post. It did the trick for me.
Same problem here, although I'm running Stock Android 4.2 on a Galaxy Nexus.
Started randomly today (worked fine in the morning, "Waiting for location" in the afternoon).

GPS location is set, works flawlessly in Maps, Sygic, Navigon, Waze, Ulysse Speedometer, GPS Test and GPS Fix.
Tried everything, from clearing data, force stop the Maps app, rebooting, taking out the battery for a couple of minutes, clearing or updating A-GPS - noting work. I don't have any updates since the update to Android 4.2 installed the latest version of Maps as well.
There is another odd behavior. If I start the Navigation app after clearing data, force stopping Maps app and clearing A-GPS, it will load the main screen (speak navigation, type address, home etc.) fine. If I type in an address or a place, the app closes without any warning or error message. Upon reopening the application, it starts doing the "Waiting for location" spell again.
The only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset.
I have the solution! Man this drove me SO crazy the other day I desperately needed Nav.... anyway
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.
Apparently in JB the location settings need to be on in 2 different places.
I hope this helps, I found it at another forum.
Awesome, I had no idea that Maps used one, and Navigation used the other. You sir, assisted me greatly, kudos to you!
Has anyone found any other workaround for this? I am having the same issue... GPS locks immediately on ALL other apps needing GPS info, but Google Nav just sits there at "Waiting for Location"

After replacing the mob the gps is working.
So. The problem lies in bad motherboard.

Don't waste time reseting or clearing the data.
Having issues getting Wallet running again after a flash. Essentially, I had everything running perfectly on MeanBean. Decided that since Mikey has moved on from this device, I would give ViperRom a try. Found Viper to be far more buggy than Mean so I reverted back to a Nandroid backup. I had reset my Google Wallet settings when I left Mean to go to Viper, but forgot to do the same when I flashed back to my backup of Mean. First thing I experienced was that Wallet would not accept my PIN code. I cleared the data for the app and when trying to re-setup Wallet I get stuck on the screen in this screenshot. It just hangs and hangs with the spinning wheel. If I click my username again, I go through the same login process. How do I fully remove all aspects of Wallet other than just the .APK file, so i can just re-install? Please, Please and Thank you!

Thanks budeone, but hitting Clear Data seems to remove that file. I have then removed the APK manually from /system/app and reinstalled from Play Store....same problem. I feel like Wallet has some setting/database/whatever I need to be clearing as well.
Crap I had this issue a while back... I had to go into adb and reset a file. I'll have to go back through my posts and find it.

Might fix wallet for you
I forgot to wipe and messed up my google wallet as well. This fix provided by lexmir in the Nexus 4 thread worked perfect for me. Instead of buying an app and refunding it, I just purchased the free song of the day in the music section of Google Play:
If you are getting this message "wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized" while trying to open Google Wallet on your Nexus 4, I found a fix for my device. Here are the steps I took.
1. Turn your phone off and back on.
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Wallet.
3. Clear the Cache and Data.
4. Disable the app. Reenable it.
5. Then, open Google Play and try to purchase a song (or anything else that is cheap).
6. After you finish your purchase, open Google Wallet app from your phone. It will allow you to choose the email account to set up Google Wallet.
After going through these steps Google Wallet will open normally.
For anyone who finds themselves in this problem, 2-step verification is what was causing the app to hang. If you disable 2-step verification, it may get you past the step I was stuck at.
I'm having a problem with Snapseed and VSCOcam not being compatible with my European honor 7. Anyone else have this problem?
On my h7 (PLK-L01) both these applications work fine.
Honor 7
Same for me, many apps "not compatible".
Never faced such issue with apps i use, but id say you have to first send request to their app developers to optimize it for Huawei phones. Huawei being third largest mobile phone manufactures, the app developers need to take Huawei more serious.

Thanks for confirming, XDA is working now after reset google play services and install recent .APK found from internet and also reset play store and restart phone, but still HERE map is showing door "Unable to Download" map even with Mobile data and on Wifi, Will factory reset or wait for next version of Honor 7 update and do factory reset soon that time , I doubt it might be due to customisation of lots of settings but don't know which one of it caused problem
after recent update I did factory reset and now XDA and Here map working fine, but tiny and unreadable notification fonts issue is giving problem, anyone know is that any third party app which replace the stock notification completely ?

Virtua Tennis from Android doesnot work
I tired to install Sega's Virtua Tennis from Amazon Underground and it did not get installed. The Apk downloads fine, but install fails.
I reset the phone and retried, same result, install failed. I downloaded it on a Lenovo K3 Note, extracted the Apk (using APK extractor) and tried installing from there. It failed.
I am quite surprised that it is so.
Here Maps and a bunch of other apps from Amazon Underground (like a better camera, Office suite Pro, Sworkit Pro) all work fine.
Any clues what is going on here.

My brother and I both have Global Mi 8 phones with the latest stable version of MIUI (10.2.1.0). On both phones, the Google Maps location jumps around about 100 or maybe even 200 feet in any direction, causing the blue dot to make sudden jumps on screen, sometimes ahead, sometimes it goes a bit backward but, worse, sometimes it goes left and right. For example, on the highway, as we pass an off-ramp, the blue dot may jump to the right onto the off-ramp, causing instructions to be recalculated. Then it jumps right back onto the highway where it should be. It's super frustrating and both our phones do it almost precisely in the same way, at the same time sometimes. I've checked all the settings I can find and nothing seems out of order.

Interesting. I will try the google maps suggestions over there. Thanks.
The net result of what I learned from the other thread was that cleaning caches, clearing all data, etc. did not help. The only thing that they reported worked was uninstalling updates to Google Maps. Unfortunate that we can't use the newest version but if that is the workaround we will have to live with it until the next update.
Thanks

I used to have the same problem and I was absolutely furious, I even thought selling the mi 8, that kind of performance was unacceptable from a 2018 device.
I ended up flashing the latest stable through fastboot and uninstalling all maps updates, well it seems to work better for now (although not as well as my 2016 Axon 7) but it can get the job done now.
Anyway, that was my experience.
I'm using WAZE until the next MIUI update fixes this issue. Trust me, I miss using MAPS, however WAZE is a very good substitute.
For those who experience such problem with google maps download ver. 9.85.2 apk which is last known to work
So we basically need to wait for a firmware update that fixes it?

I read the fix - installing old gmaps- but the actual fix would be being able to use recent gmaps, no?
We don't even know if it's a firmware issue. Those people affected all confirmed that it's only within google maps and that other gps/navigation software works just fine.
Most people - like myself - never even experienced this issue.
Global stable 10.0.3.0, 6 x global beta updates afterwards and now xiaomi.eu 9.1.17 - never had any issues with GPS or google maps specifically.
Do you actually need a specific google maps feature or bugfix that that came after the 9.85.2 release ?

It's an unnecessary hassle that I'd rather avoid.
my solution:
before start Maps do:
set gps in "basso consumo" (sorry i don't know in english, "Low" something)
activate A-GPS
run Maps, choose your destination, when tap GO maps ask if you want turn on google blabla, tap YES. Navigation start
sorry for my **** english '-_-
I'm on xiaomi.eu and had this issue.. tried the google adress for assited GPS.. same result..
Noticed yesterday that the IP that comes default on xiaomi.eu... as no response when pinging...
Try Waze app and it will be working fine I will try old version of Google maps too see if it fixes it. I will keep you up to date
Using a different app is not really a solution. Thankfully old gmaps works without issues for now.
I've turned off auto updates for Google Maps, and uninstalled updates, and things are going well so far.
Install google map version 10.5.1 works well with me.
Don't forget to switch auto update off.

Have you cleared data and cache in playstore app, then do a reboot. It could fix it. Strange thing is I sometimes check for any updates none appear, if I clear and reboot suddenly get a few updates come up on the list.
