There is people having problems with getting the gps to ping in. After flashing a rom. Well here is a fix for everyone having problems. .
Steps to take
1.Reboot into recovery
2.Backup everything up
3.Reboot into recovery
4.WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
5. FACTORY RESET
6. WIPE DATA
7. WIPE THE INTERNAL SD CARD
8.Flash your favorite rom
9. Reboot system
10. Once you have your phone up and running. Go outside and run your gps.
Or you can just use file manager. And delete the Android file in internal sd card. Restart your phone. Then follow step 10. All should work. .

Yeah, I don't know. Also, kind of redundant - as factory reset covers everything but wiping internal sdcard.
I can get GPS to run on each and every ROM I run and I've never followed these steps. Download GPS Status from market first. Turn on wifi and GPS - then open Maps. Then open GPS Status. It will say 'Maps updated to latest version'. Type in an address and start navigation. Place in window sill until it locks. Once it locks once - you're good.
Everytime.

I've never had gps problems ever till I flashed novella rom. I haven't had a gps lock on it yet, but I haven't needed it and I really like this rom, but I'll try your idea first because the first one will take a while.

I read somewhere in the Novella thread that if you flash another rom that has working gps, run the GPS Fix app, once it fixes gps, back up that app and restore the rom with broken gps. Then restore GPS Fix app, run it.
I just did this and it worked.

A few months back I had working GPS on ParanoidAndroid. I let my brother use this phone for a while, and now I'm back. He used a flash of CleanROM while he had it.
As soon as I got this phone back, I flashed to the newest CM nightly. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed a problem with GPS yesterday.
I'm trying to troubleshoot the problem today. I've flashed VRALJB (after wiping system/data/internal sd) and have done nothing but log in to the App Store and download GPS Test. I usually have no problem getting a fix at my desk indoors, but I've walked outside with this thing too. I see 28 satellites in view, but it's stuck at 0 in use. No matter what I do, it says "In Use 0". This is driving me bonkers.
Edit: Going to try sitting it on the windowsill with nav running. Will report back.
Edit2: Nothing is working. On an old version of beans, only because I know it used to work. Currently 19 in view, 0 in use. Going to give up until I go for a drive or something.

I think it's really just getting the lock then immediately flashing new ROM. That worked on s3, razr, lg spectrum and my note. One if the spec devs figured out why it worked, but I can't recall anymore. It was some command it called when working that the bad ROM wasn't and for some reason when it was active it would last through a flash.

Usually deleting and resetting the gps files through the app "gps status" (found in the playstore) works for me within 20-60 seconds, but in my worst case scenario(so far) I did have to reflash scott's verizon patch[newest radios] and THEN run the app, but other than that I think ive been pretty lucky. Never had to reflash any rom to regain gps lock...
I flash ALOT... and also yes.
Desperation bump. Walked all around this morning with GPS Status running. This is the best I get: http://i.imgur.com/brE5B2P.png

Have you tried any of the ideas listed above?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Yes, definitely. More than one time. I'm on the newest radios if that makes any difference. Starting to wonder if the gps hardware has gone bad.
When I'm wiping, I'm flashing to a rooted/deodexed VRALJB. Can't get a lock on that or on CM.

Format your internal sd card from your computer. If you know how to. Then pull battery and then restart your phone. Then try to ping the gps. Backup your pics or anything else you dont want to lose. You wont brink your phone by doing this.. its just wiping all the bull crap that built up..

This is what I do:
1) Reboot recovery
2) Wipe cache, dalvik, data
3) Delete everything in /sdcard/
4) Install VRALJB
5) Reboot system
6) Skip setup wizard and go straight to Maps... nothing
7) Sign in to Play store and download GPS Status... nothing
8) Update AGPS data... nothing
9) Toggling off/on Verizon location service.... nothing either way
Back when I used to be able to get a fix with this phone, I would have vertical bars underneath where it says "In View" and "In Use". I'd see them bouncing up and down even before I truly had a fix. I get absolutely nothing now. No movement at all. Indoors, outdoors... I took it for a walk with me today and got nothing. :crying:
Edit: Screw it. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but I'm going to Odin and re-jailbreak. Will report back.
Edit2: I ran Odin, jailbroke and restored a backup. No difference. Maybe I shouldn't have restored the backup. Sigh...
So even a stock rom won't give you a gps lock? What about before you unlocked/rooted again? Have you tried to go completely back to stock, then a gps lock? If that doesn't work. Give Verizon a call for a replacement.

Yeah... I just Odin'd again and decided to test before I jailbroke/rooted/anything. No GPS at all on stock VRALJB. Looks like I'll be doing an insurance replacement here in the near future. Don't know what else I can do.
I had to go back to stock, but it worked. I got a GPS. Then I rooted and stopped there. Five minutes later I busted the screen, so I will report with my new phone tomorrow.

Hello everyone!
Well not sure what has happened but my GPS no longer wants to lock on to any satellites.
It was working great two days ago but just no longer works as of yesterday and today.
I have tried soft resetting the phone many times along with tools from the gps status apps.
I have also tried clearing data from google maps but still with no luck
Any help will be greatly appreciated... I really need my Google Navigation to work for school and work
Thanks in advance!

The only thing I've ever done is clear the AGPS data using GPS Test. That seems to do the trick. Seems like I have to do this every 3 days or so.
I just tried and it did not work
I'm in the same boat but my gps stopped working after a rom flash at some point. Did you also flash a new ICS rom in the past couple of days?
I'm looking for a solution since I am going to be using my gps real soon. I've tried flashing the GB radio and that didn't seem to help. The only thing that seems to work is if I flash back to a GB rom or a leaked ICS rom.
That might be the solution for you if you recently updated your rom. I'm surprised that there aren't more people complaining about the gps which leads me to believe that there are probably different chipsets for the gps or something in the radio where only a select bunch of phones are affected.
I work for DHL and use my GPS every day. Mine stopped working too, I thought it was the actually GPS module as I wiped and reflashed CM9 and AOKP and still the same. What I did was flash back to a stock modded rom and modem for Telus and viola it worked! Im gonna flash back to CM9 and see what happens.
Crap there is a fix that is floating around, in fact it was a fix and a revert back to normal if the fix didn't work, and the fix didn't work for anyone but the revert back to stock was fixing everyone's GPS (including mine). I searched the forum before posting this but I didn't find it, but I have the files on my laptop.... trouble is I don't know how to post them here?
Is everyone confirming that there gps is not locking on to any sattelites via gps test from the play store?
I'll try and figure out how to get those files to you guys in a minute.... hang tight.

^this is the gps fix that doesn't work but you gotta flash it to get the revert to work. So flash this one first.
http://db.tt/M0u538wH
Ok this is the revert back to stock, its a flashable zip so give it a try and let me know
I found a couple of fixes that didn't work for me (updating the gps.config file and flashing the GB modem) but might for others. I don't remember where I found the config file but I think if you search for gps.config you should see it in the Q&A somewhere.
I also found that when I flashed the CM10 Phandroid rom the newest with working video record my gps is back to working again. So I'm thinking there has to be some thing in the newer kernel that is blocking an apps ability to turn on the gps and if you manually turn off/on it won't stay active.
I think I'm going to stick with the jelly bean for now until I find a reason to switch to either a GB rom or something like one of appdroid's leaked kernel LF5 roms. (IMO - appdroid's roms seemed to play really nice with my Note)
*** Updated - Sorry LittleRedDot I totally missed your uploaded links. If I flash back to BlackStar I will give your flashable zip a whirl... Thanks!
I contacted ATT they said it is Samsung GPS software and hardware, so call Samsung, the more the better.

What didn't work for you? Have you tried downloading GPS Test from the market and seeing if you're locking on to any sattelites.
Well after several weeks of GPS unstability, I pestered ATT today, and they agreed to send me a replacement Note. Of course I have to send the defective one back.
I tried to force it to go to GB, once it was back on GB, the GPS was still flakey.
I am hoping the replacement will work like GB did before. The rep said she thought JB was available, and then recanted the statement.
LOL

The GPS fix that you posted and the revert. And I just did and im getting from 1 to 3. I cleared AGPS and also updated it. From the instructions i get, it works it set GPS location set. However when i go to google maps app its still off not where im actually at. Also when doing navigation it never locks, it says searching GPS signal...this is frustrating

Wow just tried something and it seemed to work i got right where im at also got a lock on navigation in gmaps and started working. Having GPS test open and pressing home instead of back button left it on in the background basically. I got it to work...wierd huh? And if i dont do this (leaving GPS test in the background and closing it by pushing back button to exit it) it wont work and GPS is way off...any idea. Also if you guys are having GPS issue. Try this and see if it works.

Edit: Well I was too tired to flash JB last night. But I did it this morning and man oh man is this ROM sexy!!!

Gads. I've waited 2 years to root my phone and the first ROM I flash toasts it. I downloaded the Skyraider Zeus 1.3 and everything looked fine. When it rebooted, though, I realized I'm not able to do anything.
I slide the lock to get into the phone and I'm greeted by a dialog about in-call volume. All I can do is hit the Silent button and it switches between that and bluetooth volume. I can't figure out how to get past it so I can actually do anything.
Ideas?
ETA: Now I'm really sick to my stomach. I decided to restore from backup. Neither one of the backups I made prior to flashing are working.
Error while restoring /data!
WTF? Now I'm dead in the water.
4pm Update: I figured I have a brick now so I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache. Now I'm trying to re-install Skyraider. I'm not holding my breath.
You're not bricked.
Go back into recovery...
Wipe data/factory reset 3x, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik cache.
Flash the ROM.
You should be good.

Why would two different backups fail to restore? The first I did manually last night through Titanium. The second I did when I flashed through ROM Manager.
That's your problem using rom manager. Download 4ext in the play store and you wont have backup issues.

Will do. What a debacle it started out to be. I think I'm ok now. I got the ROM working and for some reason although I wasn't able to boot into recovery and restore I have been able to restore my apps and data through Titanium. I have to say buying the Pro license was worth not having to acknowledge each install. :laugh:
One thing I noticed is that I used to be able to slide the task bar down and have two options. Initially it was set with notifications but I could select a tab to make quick selections like enable/disable the hotspot, etc. I'll have to figure out why I only see notifications now. Maybe that's just part of the ROM behavior.

That's strange that you don't see the quick settings tab.
Usually after flashing a ROM through recovery, I flash it an extra time so that I know it gets all the files through.
I know when I flashed Gingeritis 3D, I couldn't get the music player to stop force closing when I changed the music sound effects. The only way to fix these issues and a few others was to flash it a couple more times, without wiping anything at all. Dirty flashes (not wiping) could possibly fix any issues as long as you haven't changed any of the ROMs settings or set up anything.

Nusense is actually on my list. These are what I was initially looking at trying:
Liquid Smooth AOKP
SkyRaider Zeus 1.3
NuSense
I think I'm like most Tbolt users that are tired of waiting for ICS. I wasn't sure about Nusense because I was believing that Sense was the source of a lot of my problems. However, SkyRaider (even though it's neither ICS nor Sense-less) is running considerably better. My phone was next to useless. It might take 1-2 min just for the stupid thing to dial a # once it was selected. I'd tell people if I ever needed 911 I'd be dead before it even dialed. I also had a lot of problems with messaging and general performance. So maybe it was just a bloatware problem that was dragging me into the mud.
Now that I'm having a positive experience with SR I think I'm going to make NuSense my next one. It looks very promising. I appreciate the warning and help to steer me clear.

You should try Twisteds version of Liquid ICS AOSP . Only problem is Netflix and video can don't work. But other than that its a great rom --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33076925

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I don't use Netflix much from the phone so that's not a deal breaker.
How is it with data? I flashed NuSense yesterday morning and flashed back to SkyRaider last night. I couldn't stay connected. The data drops were horrible. It was odd. I'd have the 3G/4G icon like I was connected but couldn't surf/email/etc. Then other times I'd lose the 3G/4G altogether. Sometimes resetting the mobile data would work and other times it would just laugh at me.
I guess I didn't give it much of a chance since it only lasted <12 hours but it was driving me nuts. Nothing like spending time with family and not being able to surf and escape.
Any liquid based ics rom is plagued with data drops.

I'm not getting them that bad. Maybe twice a day at best. Have you tried pulling your sim for a little bit.

You don't get data drops on other builds? Have you checked the gold tabs under your battery door and bald sure they aren't damaged? Maybe check to see if they are making good contact too.

Ugh. That's not good. SkyRaider has been rock solid on data. The only thing I've really run into is it seems flashing my apps with app2zip only works on some things. I end up having to re-flash Kindle, Lookout, and a few other apps once I'm up and running again.
I was really looking forward to ICS but not if data drops are the norm.

I have been looking for a fix for international Roms So I can run them on my Note II from Verizon
Several Roms out there for the Note II but not a lot of them unless they are Verizon Versions on the Software Some of the VZW Apps Don't work properly This should Fix the GPS Issue you might ran into.
It does two things, moves the VZW lib files over for GPS and it also should fix the volume levels in some apps that are low...

any fix for group messaging on international roms?
Thanks for posting this thread. I'm sure it will benefit many who suffer. I haven't had any GPS issues on any rom I flashed. Is it possible Samsung used GPS chips from different vendors?
Running cleanrom 4.9 and it doesn't look like this fix worked for me, thanks for trying though!

I have used Scott's Roms the entire time I had my SIII, but since having my Note, I can not get GPS to work. I would love to return, but Meanbean is working flawless.

Have you tried getting a gps lock on another ROM, done a nandroid, re flashed desired ROM? Usually this fixes it. Or if you toggle between LTE/CDMA and Global under the Wireless & Networks this too sometimes helps.

So does this mean that an International ROM could be flashed followed by this and then the modem plus kernel?

Yes, I would say so I would flash Rom,Kernel,modem the boot up then go back in to recovery and flash the rom worked for me :good:

If it Doesn't I Flash Beans then use root uninstaller to back up the maps apk and stick it on your EXTSDCARD and go to recovery and wipe everything flash International Rom and the go to ES File Explorer and hit the menu button and go to tools/root explorer/Mount R/W and mount all RW NOT RO then go into the ES Explorer and go to Local and EXTSDCARD Then restore the Gmaps and it will ask to overwrite and say yes to all. Then reboot the Phone. When the Note II reboots then go to the Google Store and pick up GPS test its free and you can reset the AGPS and Update the AGPS Signals GO out side and get your Signal. If this doesn't work Try to Flash the Scotts GPS test Patch and should help. FYI I have had issues with the Global Mode popping up a lot and I went into the settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode and change to LTE/CDMA and then if you get Updating Sim Card info a lot at the bottom of the Screen Set it back to Global and should fix but you will still get the Switch to Global mode Message More I am still stuck how to fix that issue.

So that's awesome. Pretty much we are fair game to flash international roms? That great! Definitely will try it out.
Edit: Sounds funny but where is the International thread here at xda? Or is there one?
FOUND IT! :banghead:

Maybe Try it but most of the time I believe it would work but could need some other Verizon Libs.etc to work properly
International Roms for Note II
Just if anyone wants to play with the international roms they can be found Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1790
Think this fix will work on the minitabinternational ROM? I believe its base is still the same am I wrong. Mini tab is the only ROM I've ever had that GPS doesn't lock.
This did not work on JediX14... Still no gps signal, I've tried all the workarounds
I can confirm this didn't work on Sungsonic rom. I wiped everything, flashed rom, kernel, modem, vzw patch, gps fix no service.
Edit: probably was due to the Rom being an n7100 rom

I was able to put together a little fix and posted it here. It works for me on Moon, might work on other ROM's as well but I haven't tested it.

Edit: the lock was slow only at first try but almost instant lock after that.

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)
Never had luck with my GPS while on AOSP roms then I found the agps fix
Add ro.agps.allow=false to your build.prop and reboot

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.
