Hello friends,
I am actually a Sense convert, thanks to the combo of CM10 and AOKP, found in ROMs like JellyBam and PAC Man...
The ONLY thing that's making me unable to use those ROMs as my Daily Driver, is the following issue:
1. Turn on 3G and GPS togther
2. Launch map and choose a place to Navigate to (Navigation is launched)
3. EVERYTHING LOCKS PERFECT! My turn by turn is now ready
4. Give it a minute or two on the road and BOOM! The phone loses signal, 3G is cut off, GPS loses its lock, and I am stranded in the middle of my destination
Give it a minute or two... sometimes minutes on end, and the GPS locks again (after signal is restored and 3G returns), but shortly soon after, the issue repeats itself.
Now, can someone please confirm for me that that is indeed a CM10/AOKP bug and all of you have this issue? Trust me, I have tested it in MANY areas, it's not a weak signal issue. If I only have my 3G on, the connection is RARELY lost (probably with bad signal), but when GPS is used WITH 3G, it's almost UNUSEABLE and dangerous to navigate with, due to the loss of attention from the road and losing your turns ALL THE TIME!
I would appreciate any help on people confirming that I am not alone on this one, and that if you guys know any fixes or workarounds for this? I would love to offer a Logcat even, but personally, I have given up on Devs never willing to do that for the issues I have reported in the past. Not complaining, just saying they are busy or just don't want to help me with Logcats.
Thank you and I hope everyone is well. Appreciate you guys reading the message.
I've been on cm10 for over a month and have never had that problem. I've used navigation for 2 hours straight without a hitch.
Are you on the cm nightlys? I use the irc builds.

Download GPS status and toolbox from the play store. Menu, reset, then you're good. I've had this problem once and it hasn't come back since doing this.

I am suffering from the same issue, it persists for me on all CM10 builds and JellyBAM. I think I did what you said, but the bug did occur again (while using nav, gps and 3g signal goes out for a few minutes). I just wanted to double check what you were suggesting. When you say menu, reset, do you just mean reseting the phone after installing the GPS status and toolbox, or is there a menu option in GPS status and toolbox I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

He means download the app. Open the app. Then hit menu from within the app. Choose reset. Then close the app. Then reboot your phone and try your GPS.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'm being stupid (I hope I am), but I do not see the reset option when I hit menu from within the app. I see Tools, Share, Radar, and Settings. Is it the Tools-> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset?
Thanks again.

Yea I'm thinking that's it. I'm not a 100% sure as I've not had this issue or a need to use the app. However that would seem to be it. If that fails look threw the settings for anything that has the reset option. Also being cautious is never stupid. Hope this helps.

Yes, that was it. How on earth did someone know to do that based on just that symptom?? Why is there no way to do a GPS reset like that via the system menus?

Hey Guys,
I tried this rom from the beginning.. but there's always been this GPS issue,
I updated Radios, re-flashed Radios after Flashing the rom, always did a wipe,
tried enabling GPS before flashing the ROM (some things, other people helped)
nothing helped for me, and i've also seen, there're many other people out there, which do have the same problem.
I like GPS myTracks, Navi, etc... everything can work fine but I don't want to restart my phone and loose about 10-15% of the power to just en-able GPS... that's way off...
so my question: some guys, brought it to work...
what radios do you use? which kind of version...
how did you flash? anything un-ordinary ;=) etc..
Please, I think there is a solution, except fixing the bug ;P
greets,
I used the latest radio version, but you have to enable gps after flashing the Rom and then restart the phone, once that's done, gps will work with no problems and as far as I know, it doesn't reset if rebooted

Are you disabling GPS and then trying to get satelites?
Is there any reason why you just don't leave GPS enabled? it won't effect anything unless its being used.

Okay, that's a different approach ;=)
So you have GPS always en-abled and it does not drain power? does not effect anything? and is just being used if an application like MyTracks, GoogleMaps etc is beeing opened?
What if GoogleMaps is one of the 6 'last-used' applications? sure about that?
thanks a lot for uR response,

I always have GPS enabled without any battery problems. It is only on and working when an app asks for it. Google Maps stops asking for it when you hit the return button. You can tell that for yourself. When in Google maps you can see the GPS is being used because it shows on the notification bar at the top as an icon of a white dish with green arcs. Then hit return and that icon disappears. All good apps let go of GPS as soon as they are finished with it.
BTW the list you get when you hold down the home button is only a history list - it does not mean they are working in the background.
thanks

didn't knew that, just thought those are those (for developers) who are in 'pause' mode, others are closed... thought i've read this somewhere.. but not sure..
Isn't it disturbing you, that GPS is enabled all the time?

Why should it? Just because it is enabled does not mean it is actually on or using any power. It means it is waiting to be turned on when an app I decide to open asks for it. So, for example, my sat nav, google maps, yelp, or google places all turn it on when they open and then turn it off when they finish. They are all "good" in the sense of being well designed apps, that do what they are supposed to. Sorry if you don't like that term but that is what I mean.
Not so well designed ones, like, for example, Shop Savvy don't switch it off. And that is annoying. But in any event I know whether it is on or off by looking at the notifications bar - if the dish icon is there then it is on, if not it isn't, even though I have it enabled.
If it starts coming on randomly then I know I have a rogue app doing something in the background that I have not asked it to do.
hehe thanks man
it's just the thing...
-my location
-GPS
-worldwide
PLUS: en-abled
but i understand now 'good apps' just use it on demand,
bad always have the connection open
just an open connection start battery draining
i just wanted to prevent all this by simple en-ableing it JUST when i need it
like things usally are used turned on - on demand hehe
thx man
finally : it does NOT WORK
so guys...
finally, now tested it about 1 week with the above congifuration...
GPS always on ... on boot... the whole time the phone is up
- @ modaco custom rom: i started any GPS app, and within about 10 seconds, at max 30secs i got a working GPS lock on about 4-7 satellites...
and was able to locate my me
here (vanillain 5.2): i start.. wait.. get 'to see' 2-4-5 satellites (fast) but they don't lock, they vanish for about 1sec, again 5-6 satellites ... sometimes 7 but the just don't lock ---- waiting---- waiting---- ...
i can hold my position: wait for some minutes.. then i ---- get a lock.. then also gps-tracking works... somehow, sometimes
but guys, i really don't have that much time.
I want to get GPS locks during walking.., at any time, fast. i want to get it fast, and everything else ist just '''''BS'''''
so for me: it's not working at vanillain..
that's not worth calling...it works... sry
TIP PS:
guys, switch to 'legendroid 1.01' for working GPS!
i got a lock within 5 secs in my room!!! to 8 satellites...
and enabled GPS after boot (it was dis-abled at boot time) at first boot for the first time,
everything works perfekt
thanks a lot at the developer of legendroid

i always get a GPS signal and lock within minutes...

Howdy, so I did a factory reset last night and since then my Prime cant seem to find my location , in any weather app or maps.....i tried a factory reset a few more times but still no luck....any ideas on what i can try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Assuming you have location services turned on in the settings, remember tablets aren't meant to use gps. If you need gps, go buy a garmin or smartphone, because everyone around here will tell you tablets dont need gps.
I dont care about GPS, never my intention for the tablet.
Location sevices were all checked and that part of it worked perfectly before the factory reset.
Just got to work and it seems to connect ok here. Not sure what happened at home but I will test this evening.
Do you have another android device to test ?
It could be that Google doesn't know about your router's location. They have a database of wifi router locations and maybe they never got yours.

Uncheck the ALL location options, then save. Then check them again, you will get a nice terms and conditions dialogue, accept it. Save.
This is crazy....i had location working all day at work and the gym.
I get home and it can't find location. Weird thing is it was fine until i did the reset.
Ugh

I did a factory reset, that is when this particular issue starting happening.
Before that location was not a problem for me, at home or on any other wifi.
I did the factory reset intially because it was acting weird, sluggish and non responsive so I figured I would give that a shot before pursuing anything else ...and now my location service wont work at home. Which is strange because it does work on several other wifi spots that I have tried.
I read somewhere that Google can sometimes lose your wifi/router from its DB, just havent found out if there is a way to maybe force it back..?
The fact that it works everywhere but my home which is where I use it like 95% of the time kinda sucks...Maybe I will ping Asus and see what they have to say about it.
I apologize in advance if this was addressed before, I couldnt find a thread that answered my issue.
My phone doesn't cannot to data anymore.
I have been flashing different roms pretty frequently, and I am currently on SpeedRom 7.8
For the past month, data hasn't been working on the different roms I have been using. I don't know what is the cause for this issue.
This issue started when i installed SpeedRom 7.5. From there i jumped from one rom to the next, with data not working.
Can you of guys help me with my predicament?
Thank you

Go to Settings - Data Usage and make sure Mobile Data is "On". This gets turned off sometimes when flashing new ROMs or by accident.

To expand and clarify the issue, when I turn the data on, there is no data icon at the top of the status bar beside the network strength icon.

So I know there are a million threads on this, but I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a definitive fix for my scenario. I have tried so many things and my GPS hasn't worked for months.
Problem:
- GPS in view but not in use. EVERY ONCE in a while, GPS will work. But that's like almost never.
Setup:
- Latest Rootbox
Fixes attempted:
- nygfan760's EFS partition fix
- flashing JB modem
- upgrading to latest ROMs
- creating backup of Rootbox, flashing Snow's ROM, flashing Rootbox backup, and flashing JB radio
I just can't seem to get this thing to work. I'm seriously at the point of selling the phone, bc I really need GPS. Any knowlegable and clear help is appreciated.
Thanks
I actually couldn't fix GPS on my first LGOG so that was a bummer. After I bricked it and got my warranty replacement, I immediately backed up my EFS partitions after rooting / unlocking. Now all I have to do is flash the backup after a ROM and all is well. You might be sol. ;[

Not really sure about this as I really don't know how EFS partitions work, but are EFS partitions specific to each phone? I've tried every suggested method to get a GPS lock, not a location based off of WiFi and mobile networks, but no luck.
Every time my GPS fails with Google Maps, I download the Mapquest app and my GPS works flawlessly. I'm not sure why but it's a decent fix if you're in a hurry.
So now after updating to the latest Root box I can get GPS 'in use' in the GPS Test app (before it just showed in view but never in use), but the text in the drag down status bar still shows 'searching for GPS.' does this mean it's working now?

If you change the one at upper left to North America it let's you select United States. I tried different options then selected create and reboot, opened GPS Test app right after boot to see which setup seemed to work best. Another setup may be better for you. Anyways glad it worked I know how frustrating it was to get mine working.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it sooooo much. Ever since I went to 4.2.2 my mobile data speeds have gone to **** when I'm using the browser. I get a 10-15 second delay in loading a web page. When I use my WiFi it seems to be fine. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. It's not Rom specific.

I've had this issue for about two months. ROM doesn't seem to matter as I've tried stock, super stock, the old Viper, NOS GPE, and Viper Sense 5 along with most of the kernels out there. I've RUU-ed probably 8 times with no luck.
The "Adobe Flash" fix didn't work for me, but I do use Titanium Backup. Maybe the problem is there somewhere?

The adobe flash fix didn't work for me, either. I found a fix in another sub-forum for a different phone. It recommended installing adfree and then selecting the "revert" option in the app. That fixed the problem for me completely. Hope that helps anyone else with this problem.

Welp, I downloaded it, but the app seems stuck. After running it, I get the boot normally / TCP dialogue, but nothing happens after that. Just stuck on the loading screen with the spinning circle.

I am also having this problem, ViperDNA, 4.1.1. WiFi is fine, but mobile data is unusable. If I toggle mobile data off then back on, it works ok for a bit, then goes back to ****. Just recently started happening. I also have a similar issue with my G2.
I couldn't find it again, it was really hard to find the first time. But I just tried it again and the app is working. Just install it, tell it to boot normally, give it root permission, tell it to skip after it does its host file check, then press the revert button. When that is done, uninstall adfree and reboot.
That should do it.

Got it working, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I'm still having the exact same issue. Getting frustrated with this since RUU is supposed to be the miracle fixer, yet that and a bunch of other attempts with solutions like the ones in this thread have done nothing. Outside of this thread, I can't find anyone else talking about this problem.

With what browsers are you experiencing this problem? Are you on Verizon and using the latest radios?

I'm on the most current Verizon radio with Verizon service. Most current OTA hboot. Moonshine s-off. Recently RUU-ed.
I use Dolphin and Opera Mini. Strangely, Opera Mini doesn't have this issue, but Dolphin does. However, browsers aren't the only problem. I have the same thing happen with nearly every data-using app. Twitter, Instagram, A Online Radio, TuneIn Radio, as well as Dolphin for sure seem to have this issue. Opera is okay, and Google Play Store and Facebook seem to be mostly unaffected.
It's unexplainable. Everything works instantly and fine on WiFi, but 4G, 3G, and 1X all have this 10-20 second delay before they start actually connecting. After this lag, they all download quite well. It's just the initial connection that has a problem. And again, I've searched everywhere and haven't read anyone experiencing this.

Hmmm, not sure what's going on. Maybe you need a new SIM card? Maybe try re seating the SIM? You can also turn off the radio in the hidden phone settings menu and then turn it back on. From the dialer type: *#*#4636#*#*

I've tried removing and reinserting SIM card before, and I've reset the radio and tried airplane mode probably a hundred times. Not sure what the dialer number is supposed to do, but it seems to do nothing.
Guys answer this what does flash player half to do with slow internet?
Also you internet speed looks fine.
I edited the op because I'm still having issues like the rest and it said solved but it's not. I just installed ad app I'll see if it helps.

You don't need to keep adfree installed, just use it to reset the host file or something. Maybe someone who knows the actual mechanism will chime in and explain why it helps.
