In AOSP roms on the dna you can't get a gps lock unless you flash over a gps lock right?
I heard there is a patch you can flash. Where would I find this?

Can someone post the link for the GPS fix. I'm on MIUI 1.9.16. Can't seem to get a lock all the time.
OK, so Im having issues with the stock version of Honeycomb. Always losing GPS lock.
I was thinking what if I got one of these

Wonder if that would solve the issue
Im not getting a lock when i activate my gps on this rom. Is there a fix to this?

Telenav seems to work alright for me if you gps can find a lock at all, at least while i was on the rom sense 5.0 all the way for me from here on out.
Get GPS Lock via Mapquest
Hi. I was able to get a GPS lock on Mapquest for CM 10.1. I left the app open, then opened Google Maps, and the GPS worked fine. Might be worth a try.
try some of this fixes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132412

Deck's CM10.2 fixed my GPS issue
I had the cm10.2 nightly from get.cm installed. I could not get GPS to get a lock. I tried gps tools, sense rom, gpsclrx, wipe cache etc. Nothing worked. The Sense ROM I was using to try and fix this always always got a lock immediately.
Finally, I chose to install Deck's CM10.2 release from 8/18/13 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411277.
Bingo. GPS works great for me now.
Just got my phone back from mobile tech..immediately unlocked, flashed a recovery and threw on viper 1.3.0 with elkays 096 kernel.
Everything runs great but I cannot get a GPS lock in Google maps ever.
I have downloaded a couple GPS test apps and I'll get 8/11 or 10/12 satellites and it gets ever so close to getting a lock in maps but never does.
Any ideas? Could the JTAG have "fried" the GPS?
Or should I try a stock Rom and kernel and see the behavior there?
I drive way too much to not have an accurate GPS lock on my phone.
Any ideas or help is much appreciated in advance.

Apparently Google is having some problem with location services across multiple devices. I really cannot wait for this to be resolved as it is somewhat of a safety hazard, and my friend just lost his phone and cannot locate it due to this issue.
I can't get a lock either in any apps. Any suggestions?

Same here had mine Jtaged and now no locks i see 0/19 sats but will not lock on Stock or Custom Roms.
There is some problem with the new version of google maps. Last night I used it to navigate me to my daughter's friend's house and it totally navigated me to the wrong place a few blocks away, even though it showed the correct destination on the map. It was really odd. I hope they fix it because I liked their navigation program before that last major update.
Regarding the GPS, try an app called "GPS Test" from play store. It will show all the satellites and will tell you how accurate your lock is. Make sure you run this when you are out side with clear view of the sky for optimum testing. Also I would try a stock rom for testing too. I know the aosp roms had some gps issues early on. Make sure your radios are updated too. Radios need to be updated separately from roms. I think there was a gps update in one of those radios updates, but I am not positive on that. Good luck.
So I've searched and searched and haven't found a viable fix. My GPS will absolutely not lock on with this Rom. I've flashed JellyBeans and it immediately gets signal. I had the same issue with CM as well. I'm running baseband MC3 but even tried LL4 with no luck. My buddy has the same phone/Rom and has zero issues. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? Any insight is appreciated at this point. I love this Rom and what it does for this particular phone. I hate restoring another just to use GPS.

I had trouble with a consistent GPS lock on every AOSP rom I tried until following the directions of having a positive lock (I had maps open and could see the lock in notifications) when shutting down TW to flash the new AOSP. I am now running SlimRom with a flawless GPS experience. My first flash of the same rom without a positive lock before the flash and the GPS was very slow to lock. I restored TX from nandroid, then got a lock, shutdown and flashed AOSP again and no problems.Have you tried this?

I haven't. I used to read every thread in the forums back in the G1 and original nexus days but I just don't keep up anymore. So basically I flash a TW ROM, shut down while locked on GPS and then wipe and flash? Could I just restore my ROM that I'm using instead of flashing a new ROM? Thanks for the reply, not having a solid GPS caused me to be late to my daughters gymnastics meet last weekend and her friend threw up in the back seat of my 2013 Mustang GT because she was car sick from all the turning. :-\
