So I've had this phone for about 2 weeks, Stock/Rooted.
It seems like I've only had GPS issues with AT&T phones, My HTC DROID DNA(VZW) doesn't have GPS issues and always shows me in Dover DE, My One however shows me in Houston, San Antonio, etc. I've disabled and re-enabled GPS services, several times, Mock locations are unchecked, Fast boot disabled, Rebooted a few times, even hard reboot. If I shut off google Location services, and use GPS data only, Maps gets an instant fix, as well as Where Am I? GPS status gives me 12/19 satellites, AGPS, isnt working. Wifi with Verizon FiOs, doesnt help it. I constantly get Cloverfield, TX. I've owned an HTC Vivid before and it did the same thing, It gets annoying because Weather, Maps, and location search gives me Texas. If i stay out of the house for awhile and I'm outside when it goes to push sync it'll get the correct location.
Running 4.1.2/5.0/ 1.26.502.10
HELP. This angers me greatly, If I have to swap from the stock AT&T rom, Can anyone point me to Sense5/4.2.2/ debloated?
Bumping for some insight.

I had the same problem today. I ended up having to do a factory reset and now it works fine. I'm not sure what caused it. People are saying there was an issue with a Google Play Services update.

Had the same issue. The new play store update apparently has a location bug fixes. My issue is now solved.

Play Store Update to 4.1.10 was downloaded from some of the tech sites earlier today.
This worked for me so hopefully it's confirmed as the solution and we can put this thread behind us.

Also; on Droid DNA VZW, GPS has been flawless and out of nowhere GPS glitch. Updated Play Store to 4.1.10, reboot, but still no go. Thought I was on most current Maps, but apparently not. Noticed in My Apps the May 14 update and updated to 6.14.4...all is good again.

Can anyone recommend (paid or free) that works correctly with the Amaze and has active (live) traffic?
I've paid for Copilot but it freezes all the time requiring a phone reset to get it working again. It was so bad i thought it must be my phones GPS unit but I tried google navigation and that worked just fine.. trouble is it seems a bit basic, data heavy and doesn't seem to have active traffic for road accidents..
Cheers.
Google maps. I have tried a few diff ones and keep coming back to google maps. The only real downfall is if you try to start navigation, and you don't have a internet connection. Otherwise its great.
Is there a specific set of features you are looking for?
Telenav was out before gmaps and is an okay alternative. There are some others that allow predownload of entire regions

Google maps does it all. You can click Settings > Labs > Pre-cache map area if you are traveling a long route and you think you may lose signal. Otherwise it has live traffic and voice turn by turn, all free. I will try navfree since you guys mentioned it though. Always a fan of open-source projects!
Google maps FTW
You can cache map areas....
If you hate the default navigation voice, try out svox

It runs for a reason. Its the location provider. Any apps that request you location (IE Facebook, Flixster, Groupon), Android uses google maps to find you.
Copilot 8 was ok on stock GB on my telus Amaze but I just flashed the stock Tmobile ICS and found it wouldnt work at all so i switched to Copilot Live Pro 9 which i would highly recomment as its a significant improvement on 8 - i had to pay $4.95 for the Canadian Map but that didnt bother me too much seeing as i didnt pay for the main app itself.

I am having a strange problem on the Google play market store, whenever I try to Download or update an app on 4G it gives me a message saying "waiting for network" and it just hangs there and does not start the Download process but when I switch back to 3G it starts the download right away which would be fine if my 3g wasn't so dam slow...Can anyone help?

Not our Rom or our phone. Some one over at the HTC EVO shift forums have the same issue. I say its the update. So what we need to do is downgrade the play store and break the damn auto update..... Any thoughts on how? :c

I saw a Sprint Users.com forum where all sorts of Wimax phones are having the issue currently (OG Evo, EG4T, etc). Mine's been having problems since last night. I just disabled 4G and it immediately started downloading. Unfortunately 3G is horribly horribly slow in Raleigh, NC these days. Might as well be using the Edge network. Ugh.
researching varisous forums...multiple handset manufacturers, and multiple carriers. Google has been blaming Sprint, but I also see similar posts on Virgin Mobile and (at least one mention of...) Verizon.

For me it works fine on 3g and wifi, but 4g is broken. "WAITING FOR NETWORK" is all it says. Been on the same Rom for the last 4 months. So Yea this is definitely not the phones.
update: I uninstalled all updates for the google play app and it downloaded perfectly. Now I honestly can't see how this isn't anything other than a bad update from google.
update: however this only works once per app since the market updates and then when the next app starts Bam! Waiting for network.

Guys try uninstalling the updates as one of you mentioned but also go into system/app and delete MarketUpdater.apk. Copy it to your sdcard somewhere first. And after deleting reboot.
I don't have 4g and never used it but if your looking to use a version of Play Store that won't update that's the way to do it.

essentially after searching YouTube,Google, of course here, friends etc....no help in finding an answer to "searching for gps" continuously.
so currently im backing up my app data to my box and going to try a factory reset
but I keep thinking maybe theres a better app out there?
any ideas?
Changing the app isn't going to fix the issue if you can't get a good GPS lock. You're on the right path restoring the phone.
To test the GPS though and speed up locking you can get GPS status and tool box.

What is "EFS"?
thats funny.....Lg says its my providers problem...i am rooted and unlocked but stock rom stock everything....
I sent LG an email saying:
My issue is that even with perfect 4g LTE Reception my GPS tracks me perfectly which is awesome, however when I'm on the move(usually driving) and I'm using the device as a navigation unit, it constantly "searches for signal" . The device will not track my moving location at all. I did do a factory reset and I've recovered my data with the exception of my location settings( thinking something in the old settings is wrong causing the issue). I'm using both Google maps default app and mapquest, I'm using both because Google says its navigation feature is still in beta development.
They replied:
From the description of the navigation problem, it would seem that your network service is not providing the correct data in the signal to allow tracking operations. This is seen in the fact of having the same problems with both versions of the GPS apps on the phone. If only one of the apps had the problem, then it would have been possible for the phone to be the problem. Finally, for the physical differences between these phones, there is a very minor difference in the size of the casing. Hopefully this answers your questions. If you have further inquiries, please feel free to contact our Wireless Customer Interactive Center at 800-793-8896. ^NE

That is a lot of b.s. from LG. Right now your phone is faking your location without using GPS.
If you are rooted and unlocked I am assuming you know how to make nandroids and flash ROMs. Try the fix in this link and let us know how you make out.
