[Q] GPS Problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I´m using a Sony Xperia ZL with Android 4.2.2 (Root / looked bootloader).
Since some weeks i have the following Problem (before it works correct):
The GPS coordinates are displayed correctly in Tools like "GPS Test" from the Market. So I think the GPS itselfe works correct. If I start Google Maps or other Apps that use the GPS signal, I get a complete different Location (China, Russia, Brasil or somewhere else on earth).
Hopefully someone can help me to solve the problem" Thank you in advance:
Regards
surfer
EDIT: Problem solved XPrivacy coused the problem!

Google Maps compass arrow doesn't turn

Hi!
I recently installed the Google Maps version 4.1.1 for Windows Mobile.
Everything works fine so far except the compass. The arrow always points to the north and doesn't move, no matter which direction I am facing.
Is this a known issue? Is it possible to make it work correctly anyhow?
Thank you to all people who are trying to solve this problem!

GPS issue - It doesn't work on xperia x10 mini (E10i Robyn) - cm9 ics 4.0.4

Hi!
A few days ago I've posted that the GPS issue that I've found in my x10 mini (robyn) with mini cm9 (android ics 4.0.4) was "magically" solved.
But I discovered the problem persists
Let's go to the description:
A friend of mine installed cm9 on his LG P500 and reported the same GPS issue that I reported.
So, he said the apps that need location services only works if he activate all services on Location Services Menu.
If you turn only GPS on and turn google location services off, the map doesn't point to the place where you are.
The GPS feedback on the notifications bar, at the top screen don't indicate the internal GPS device is working.
So, I've turned off all services but GPS to test and noticed that the problem was there on my device too
Somebody knows what to do in this case?
If it have no solution, I'll be forced to rollback to 2.3.7
Regards,
Ronaldo.
Your exact same previous thread was locked for a reason. Same reason that I am locking this one by the way.

Yes, i'm problem with GPS, but the technical assistance service of LG in Spain says it`s okay.
The signal recepction is horrible. In the car... impossible.
Almost like my english
Pas milleur le français :angel:
Currently I use a bluetooth gps module, but is a bad solution. Today I received an updata but solves nothing.
My GPS is ok, compared to Moto Defy Mini that I previously owned.
You have to mount the phone on he dash or the windshield when in the car, for proper reception.
I fixed my GPS this way:
- first, you need root for the following app
- get app FasterGPS from Google Play
- set Continent and Country/Region in the app
That is all. It works 100% better after changing these 2 settings.
Yes... i'm rooted, fasterGPS... but... look this:
Did you set your Continent and Region in FasterGPS, and restarted the phone after that?
Mine was set to China when I bought it, and it took 15 minutes to get position. After this settings in FasterGPS, it works like a charm.
I also use GPS Status & Toolbox to update AGPS data. This one will start in the background with every app that uses GPS, and I have impression it help too in real-time.
Could you guys let me know how did you root your minis? I really need to fix my GPS and if you say that it works, I want to try it.
BUT - I was not able to root my phone using towelroot and I cannot find any other way to root it. Where is the problem? Thanks!

Sent from my D620R [Stock 4.4.2]
My wife receive her LG G2 Mini and the problem of the Fix GPS is different if i change my Operator.
WIth my Sosh operator (from my LG G2), fix is fast (5s), with Virgin operator, Fix may take 1 min or more ..... But otherwise, without any network (plane mode) it may take 3-4 min
Wow, thanks to this topic, now I don't have GPS issues and it works great.
Downloaded fasterGPS, set up everything and I'm good to go.
I've been playing ingress for months and it was a pain to have awful GPS signal.
fasterGPS worked for me too. It couldn't lock at all before and now it's perfect.
