Anybody else having issues getting location? Maps and other apps aren't getting location. I can get GPS now and then but only in the very open. Seems like I can't get agps or network location.

I get a GPS lock in my living room within 5 seconds. No issues at all getting location.
Hmmm wonder why I'm having issues then

I had location nailed down before the map loaded <2-3 seconds. I am also on WiFi at my parents house.
Under settings>location I have all the boxes checked.

Have you reboot the phone today?
So I unchecked all 3, rebooted and then checked them all. All looks good now.
Thanks guys!!

I can't get the weather to find my location I think I have a bad GPS chip I've tried resetting and everything but if I go to Verizon to switch it out I hope they don't try to get rid of my unlimited data

I did something similar and all of a sudden after a reboot it asked for permissions to use my Google account. After that everything has been working peachy.

My question is why is this the only phone where you can't turn off the gps its always running and no line goes through it

If you mean the icon next to your 4g icon, that isn't the GPS icon. That reticle stays there and does nothing.
GPS failing during Strava
When I start a Strava OR Endomondo cycling tracking the GPS seems to stop tracking during the ride. If I wake the phone to read a text or something it seems to come back. Is it possible it is being put to sleep by OS or Sense even though the app is still asking for data through the API? Otherwise it locks quickly and works as intended.

Ive tried researching this but I have came up empty handed. It appears once my screen is off google talk is logged out. How do I keep google talk always logged in?
Thanks for any help!

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

I will try that setting out and report back

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.
after the maps update a couple months ago I noticed it keeping my phone awake with partial wake-locks and firing up GPS, wifi, and wireless location services while my phone is asleep. I have location services set to *not* collect anonymous location data so I'm puzzled why it's doing this. anyone else notice this? any solutions?
Go to maps press menu settings location and look at this:
Make sure it is all off.

Also, go to Settings, General, Location services, and UnCheck Google's location service and Location & Google search. I do allow GPS satellites though. I fully charged my phone (lgog) and unplugged it before going to sleep, this morning when I woke up, battery was at 98%. I am running nottach's base ROM 0.7.3 with fast dormancy disabled.

Oh yeah, been there, done that. Back in the day the forced latitude stuff was killer....

I've just turned off the wireless networks one so only gps is enabled. I'll see if that makes a difference. Just knowing you guys aren't having problems is very helpful. Thanks.

Also, if you added Google Now, go turn that off in settings. That app polls location, weather, news, etc. I lost as average of 45min to 1 hour on my Galaxy Nexus and the only change was GNow

I'm missing something simple. I don't get those options when I'm in maps and go settings-location settings. I get a white screen with a map saying I haven't turned on latitude/location sharing. Do I not get your black menu because i don't have it enabled? Is not sharing the same as sharing and then turning everything off?
Just got my 64 gb version from online order. Brand new, no rooting what so ever.
But the weather widget (on top of the blinkfeed) is not able to find location. Just says "current location".
Trying manually to refresh, it says "Unable to contact location services......" Kinda annoying.
Anyone else got this problem?
Try turning off wifi.
No no just reboot your phone silly

Did you give it time, though? I had the same thing happened, and it didn't connect until after about 30 minutes of wifi being off - both times after I set the phone up as new.

Yep I had Wi-Fi off for a long time, still would not connect.
Funny though, I downloaded the AccuWeather App and that gets a location in no time.

Tried gmap, was able to locate. But Weather Widget still can not.
Go to location settings and untick and retick all options. Then reboot. Should work

Go to power. Uncheck fast boot. Turn off phone and then turn on phone.

Thank you all for your input!!
Whenever I try to use gps for the app Antennas or similar apps to find which tower I am connected to it is stuck on Searching For GPS
also facebok does not show my GPS location example: when writing status on my old iphone I would see New York for example.
Any settings I should disable or tweak or whatever? thanks!

I install GPS status & tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en and it solves the problem. :good::good:
Thanks man but this app confirmed gps is ok. Seems like i cant get it to work with facebook not showing my location it does show it on my ipod.
Any ideas which facebook version works ok with near location? When writing status.

My home address is saved and is correct. It used to work flawlessly forever and then a little while back it started taking me to the wrong destination. The mark on the map is showing correctly. I tried reinstalling and it didn't work. This happen for one of my other stared locations. Everything else is business like usual. Anyone else experience this?

Never had a problem. Did you try going back to stock to rule out software or hardware issues?

Try installing GPS Status by MobiWIA It seems to help grab a gps fix quicker and more accurately.

I have had this GPS show me the correct destination when I enter/preview it. Then while driving there its taken me to another place entirely... Saying that I was indeed at the named location but I wasn't even close.
I use GPS all the time for work and this has happened maybe 4 - 5 times. Not sure it completely relates to your saved home location deal but just wanted to share...
