Hi, my GPS is not working on latest Shostock. I wiped cahce, dalvik, and fixed permission already 3 times and nada. I'm in the current jeboo kernel too. Not sure if it can be rom related or phone related. I came of a fresh wiped factory reset when upgrading as had the known bootloop for a bit. Any ideas

That did it... thanks a lot. .. quick question.... is this rom related.... app related. .. phone?

Probably just a fluke. When switching roms you may need to do it again.

Never had this problem on slimbean roms, perfect Gps. This only happens to me when I flash shostock, that's why I always keep going back to slimbean.

I see... i didn't have the problems when using Task Aokp but i wanted to try sho, and frankly i love it. Just had a few small issues and task has been working on 4.2 now so it will be some time until it's awesome. It's no biggie now that i got the fix. I love shostock. Wish the new syiyah would support dual boot for it.

So I've been running rc1 since it was release but I'm thinking about trying the rc3 update. I just finished downloading the rc3 updated rom but what a the best way to flash, wipe data etc and what about the addons? I tried finding some flashing specifics but there are just too many pages to filter thru on the Dec page.

since there are a lot of changes from release to release, the best way to flash is obviously a full wipe, then flash...

I was planing on staying away from the rc3 but I thought it was pulled and reworked than released...I guess I was wrong, thought the current rc3 was the fully stable ready to go version. I'm content with rc1, ill wait for rc4.

RC3 has issues like exchange service and dpi issues. Contacts FC'ing. Samsung Calendar as well. These FC's occur after applying the tablet ui. (except exchange which happens from the get go.)
I want tablet mode so that's why I am waiting.
Sent from my Samsung i717R using XDA Premium. Hit Thanks if I've helped.
i don't use exchange, so I deleted the app, so no fc's for me; also, don't use tablet mode; need larger fonts, so thats not an issue for me either
no issues with calendar or anything else for me

While browsing a bit last night I luckily stumbled across a recovery flashable zip that fixed all my GPS issues on AOSP. I had previously tried all the other fixes that have been posted thus far and none worked on the 20130601 VRB nightly, the previous VRB nightlies, any of the PA releases, or any of the other various AOSP ROMs.
In the post it states that this will work with any of the t0lte phones, the VZW Note 2 is the t0ltevzw for those of you who have only heard of it referred to as the i605, so I gave it a shot and lo and behold my GPS locked within 5 seconds where it previously wouldn't even pick up any satellites.
So those of you having the same problem try flashing this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/40116-42...de-hello-halo-0604/page__st__490#entry1184057
Here is a link to it in my Dropbox for those of you who would rather not use Rootz:
http://db.tt/PnvlFhgy
The way I flash it and the way I have always gotten it to work is to open Maps first, click the GPS shape to get it to find you, wait until it says "Unable to locate", reboot directly into recovery, flash this fix WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING, reboot and open Maps, profit. When you are testing Maps after you flashed the fix make sure you are outside to give it the best possible chance to find satellites. If it still locks show but you are getting a lock try using FasterGPS from the Play Store to change your GPS.conf, to do so open the app, grant it superuser privileges, and select the correct continent and region under NTP Server. It should be North America for the continent and United States for the region unless you are using the i605 out of country, if you are using it out of country then select the appropriate continent and region.
I didn't create this nor in any way, shape, form, or fashion take any credit for this fix, the credits go to alba on Rootz. The only thing I have done is post it here so hopefully the people with GPS issues will see it and finally be able to use it.
EDIT:
For those of you that flash this please leave a comment starting if it did or did not work and what ROM and kernel you're using. If you haven't flashed a kernel then just put something like "using kennel that came with ROM." This way maybe we can see which ROMs it works with and which it doesn't so hopefully we can troubleshoot it and get your GPS working.
Also if the fix doesn't work download GPS Status or GPS Toolbox from the Play Store and see if your phone is even seeing the satellites. If it is it will show you something along the lines of either 0/0 or 0/x# of satellites. I have included some screenshots to show you how to find the number of satellites in GPS Status.

Thank you for the post. I wish I saw it earlier when I was on Jedi Rom, but I switched back to MeanBean immediately because I have to have GPS working properly.

How did you flash it and on what ROM? No one else has ever experienced this thus far, the worst is that it didn't help and that was only 2 people.

What ROM were you on? Did you launch Maps before you flashed it? The only way it works for me is if I launch Maps, let it say it can't find me (when in all reality the GPS wont even search), reboot, flash, profit.
Also try it without the WiFi and Wireless Networks selected under Location Access..

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)

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.

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.

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 have no issues with any Verizon based roms such as Clean or Beans, but any ported or intnl rom I cannot get the GPS to come on or get a fix. I have tried every fix that I can find applicable to Note 2 and even some s3 on every forum that has come up in searches. Would love to use Novella, but still looking for a fix that will make this dang Verizon Note 2 work. Tried different firmware/basebands, replacing or adding the proper libs, getting a fix on a different rom then flashing, GPS fix trick with restore, still no dice. I am still looking for something that will work. Even tried the "press upper right corner thing" and tighten screws. And combinations of all those things. I know its not a GPS problem with hardware as it works on every Verizon based rom. Good luck...I am still looking.

let it sit for a minute or two after youve gone through the aroma installer. and it gives the green button to reboot. no need to wait ten mins but i have locked my phone up a few times flying through install and rebooting right away. if it happens though just pull your battery and pop it right back in and itll boot back to recovery. then i always flash again
