Hey everybode
first of all, i did read all of these hundreds of threads concerning gps problems for a week. I could not figure out how to solve this problem.
Basically, my GPS doesnt work properly
GPS inside: no lock at all, usually 2 satellites, sometimes more
GPS outside: lock after few minutes, but got around 7-8 sats
Ok so i downloaded several tools, one of them was [root] GPS Control SiRF StarIV. This program says that my gps driver is unknown, and now i think it might me the problem.
where does this gps driver relate to? kernel? i tried several kernels, no solution.
Thanks for your help
running CM 10.1 2013 06 12
Siyah v5 MCM vsync kernel
on my I9100
Hi,
Here is the solution for the GPS driver unknown.

I've tried out Omega 43.1 this weekend, and discovered that its gps module doesn't seem to use GLONASS satellites. Using a gps test app, I can see glonass satellites for a split second, but they disappear immediately.
I've installed the gps fix mod from the Omega faq, to no avail.
ARHD does use GLONASS satellites normally, you can see those in a gps test app all the time.
Using GLONASS satellites improves the accuracy of gps a bit, therefore it would be a desirable feature for Omega Roms as well.
Ideas, anyone?
[Update]
I've installed the apgs fix from this thread. That seems to have helped. I'm seeing a few GLONASS satellites now. Unfortunately, I've installed the perseus kernel at the same time. I'm not sure if that contributed to the fix, as well.
I see no difference between either of those roms and it looks like they have the same GPS files .They are built from the same source
Omega 43.1 is old rom .

AW: [Q] Omega Rom - no GLONASS?
Hmm, I'm not sure if it was the agps fix I installed or the kernel. Anyway, the situation has improved remarkably. I am now seeing many GLONASS satellites. Perhaps it is not related to installing the fix or kernel. Could be the the phone simply isn't downloading agps data for GLONASS satellites. Naturally, it would take a few minutes until the phone sees those, then.
Hey Guys I have 27 satellites and my phone can't lock on to any of them.
I am rooted on the stock ROM. Can anyone give me any pointers?
Are you inside a building or house. Gps doesnt always lock when in a building. Could also be that your rooted. Are you using a rom other than stock. Sometimes these roms have issues working with wifi, gps and other hardware.

I am in a building, but it is weird how it says 27 sats but I can't lock.. seems like software issue. I am on the stock ROM.
Myself and others have had this issue. Try the following: when in the GPS related ap, pull down the notification bar and cycle the GPS off and on. With mine (and others) GPS will lock almost instantly after returning to the ap.
/found in another thread that this appears to be software related. I can confirm this as I had the problem until I uninstalled GPS Test. Check any ap you've installed related to the GPS and see if the error is resolved.
So it turns out mine works great outside my job and doesn't work at all inside my job... I never had that issue on my old phones.. but w.e... This thread can be deleted.
Thanks guys,
Hello everybody
I hope I can get some help from you guys.. I got this issue with my SGS2 that I started to get into the running and started to need more of my gps to track my training and Ive noticed this weird behaviour of my gps.. It just wont even search for satellites whenever the 3g is on (you know the alert that says searching for gps).. installed the GPS checker to see if there was no satellites or something but it wont even search for them whenever I have the 3g on.. I found that the GPS works only if I disable the Mobile Data and restart my phone.. So I cant have both at the same time.. the minute I enable the 3g data it stops working and I have all the GPS options checked at the configuration and the wifi 3g assist.. What could be causing this?
Please let me know if some of you guys have some issue like this.. I have JellyBam 9.0.0 cyanogen mod based 10.1 and baseband XXXKI4
id say check the Galaxy s 2 section or look on android forums there forums are more organized. and it may be the rom your running CM 10 has been known to have alot of bugs with gps, data, and other things.
Hello everyone!
This is my first post and I apologise for my english
I have very big problem with GPS connect. I was trying probably everything and I haven't idea how to fix it.
To the point: when I'm staying in one place and not moving, GPS fixing in few seconds. But few minutes later (1-2) or when I move few meters, HOX+ losing connection with sateliltes and not want connect once again.
I was installed GPS Test and is seeing some satellites, but not want to fix or connect is losing in few minutes.
I was installed: GPS Test, GPS Fix, Faster Fix and nothing. I was installed Venom ViperX+, Revolution HD and still the same. I tried this trick ( YouTube v=NfH48nbCFE4 ) with GPS antenna but isn't better...
My HOX+:
Rom: Venom ViperX+ 2.0.3 (on 2.01 and 2.0.2 was the same problem)
Android 4.2.2, Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be, Hboot 1.72, Radio 3.1204.171.33
Best regards

I dunno but try changing kernel, i use elite kernel... i had the same rom but changed it due to lag d)
Which apps that you use have problem with GPS connection?
I remember I used a speedometer tool on my HOX+. After turning on, I waited few minutes for gps signal. It stayed on "waiting for gps fix". But when I opened Endomondo, this fix came immediately.
Maybe it really depends on the app that uses GPS.

I have problem on any app - Google Maps, Google Navigation, Sygic, GPS Test, GPS Fix, Real Time GPS Tracker and few others.
Now I'm making backup's and I will try change kernel...
EDIT:
I flashed Elite Kernel and still the same
Tommorow I will try to install another ROM, but I slowly losing hope...
It's possible that some app "blocking" or something wrong doing with connection?
Edit 2:
OK. I installed Revolution HD and was the same. Flash kernel to Elite and still nothing better.
I returned to ViperX+ with "standard" kernel, I opened phone and "improved" GPS antenna and.... is better! More satellites, faster fix, better signal, but still sometimes losing connection for few seconds (and connecting again which earlier was impossible)...
Hello,
I get a GPS fix within 10 seconds. But with Maps, however, the signal jumps back and forth. Also, the signal does not show exactly the location, or a few meters away. These problems are probably also known to the UMI users. Somehow I have read what of MTK tools, where this problem can be fixed. Can someone post a tutorial, or link?
Thx.
Hi, looking forward to fix the same issue... Any news?

Gday mate,
I was having similar issues with my GPS jumping to the street next to me whilst driving and getting itself all turned around. The other issue I had was bluetooth would not connecting to my car, so I tried a few things on this list: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/fix-nougat-bluetooth-issues/
Specifically what seemed to fix my bluetooth AND GPS was this: (I also set the passcode on the car to '0000')
"This is a really good fix, confirmed to work by many people. To reset your Bluetooth settings, fire up the Settings app, and locate and tap on Backup & reset option. Now, touch ‘Network settings reset’, and then ‘Reset settings’. Confirm this on next screen. Note: This will reset all your settings related to WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data. Keep that in mind. If you need WiFi urgently, then better do this later on."
The above made my GPS a bit more stable. Since then I have updated the device to the latest beta: PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB and GPS is working perfect now. Link from bencebacsi on UMi Forum: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hh1069alx7v8i6i/PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB.rar
Best of luck mate!

It's not usable for this problem.
I tested Faster GPS after rooted, MTK tools, Engineering Mode, and another more tools and tricks, and nothing helped me with better gps signal on my UMI plus.
In enginneering mode I deleted data from hot, cold, warm and full gps start without A-GPS started, A set position from detected position, download new satellites positions, then start A-GPS and it was same how before. GPS signal on Mediatek chipset is bad.
Sometimes I have fixed 12 satellites, another time zero satellites. Gps signal jumping from zero to good in the car, or outdoor.
