Hi guys,
Many of us, including me, got a GPS lock problem. We have problem to get GPS lock in a decent time and when it got a lock, sometimes, it will loosed again.
I have read many post regarding this topic, some argue that it was hardware, and some tells, it was software.
Well, in my opinion, both were true, GPS signal in this phone is low or even below average.
But recently, I found the cause. For weak signal, probably, it was hardware, nothing can do with it, but for locking issue, I am pretty sure it was software problem and can be fixed by changing ROM.
I tried a few ROM based on 10B, but none gave a good GPS Lock. Then I tried another ROM based on 10F and 10G, and both were good.
First boot, when ROM just installed, I got GPS Lock around 10mins, but after that, it could lock under a mins, sometime even sec.Booting again, still gets a decent time in GPS Lock.
So I think it was software issue and can solved it by change it to a different ROM. Btw, not every ROM based on 10F or 10G has a good GPS lock.
EDIT : GPS lock is tested without using Internet connection via data mobile or via.
EDIT : PM me if you want to know ROM that have a good lock on GPS, can't write in this post due regulations, sorry.
This isn't a solution

Sure
Every time:
1) turn on mobile data, wait until it shows your H/4G icon.
2) open gps status and let it to DL A-GPS data.
3) ready, your lock is in 15 seconds max.

Sorry, I mean GPS lock without any Internet connection at all.
If its without data connection, its very weather dependent

Yes, but even it is in a heavy cloud condition or medium rain, locking is still quick.
Just a quick note: GPS lock can be very quick if your compass calibration is right. Just recalibrate your compass.

I think the Compass is the problem with my phone. When I am in MAPS and driving North and stop, the pointer moves east to west. When I start driving again, it'll continue it's course, but occasionally it'll think I'm turning and try to reroute me back on course. I'll try calibrating my compass and test.
Update:
My Compass seems correct, but it's turned backwards in Maps. Maybe there is a problem with Maps detecting the compass settings.
The Tool listed quoted shows North to my left when sitting at my desk. Open up Maps and my heading is pointing to my right (south) when it should be facing my monitors (I'm facing East). So Maps has my compass off my 90 degrees which throws off my Navigation.
It almost seems like it's trying to point in landscape mode, but when I do that, the screen spins and is off again.

This is nonsense. A COLD start on a GPS will take NO LESS than 10 minutes and quite a bit longer if you don't have a clear view to the sky and satellites in view. Period. So if it's "quick", which I presume is nowhere near 10 minutes, it's not a cold start. Therefore it has ephemeris data, which is what the internet connection (A-GPS) provides.
I got GPS to work on my phone by flashing a stock rom, obtaining a solid lock, wiping, and then flashing cm11. Lock held. i remember having to do exactly this for the droid 3 (or maybe it was the bionic) for gps to work. it's a pain, but it worked for me.

Cold or Factory: The receiver is missing, or has inaccurate estimates of, its position, velocity, the time, or the visibility of any of the GPS satellites. As such, the receiver must systematically search for all possible satellites. After acquiring a satellite signal, the receiver can begin to obtain approximate information on all the other satellites, called the almanac. This almanac is transmitted repeatedly over 12.5 minutes. Almanac data can be received from any of the GPS satellites and is considered valid for up to 180 days. Manufacturers typically claim the factory TTFF to be 15 minutes.

So your device has empheris data. Maybe stale. But it's there.
And yes, it uses A-GPS by default. Zero chance it doesn't.
So I just turned on airplane mode, cleared AGPS data and rebooted. Less than 2 1/2 minutes to get a lock indoors. D801.

Have you look at gps.conf file? A-GPS is not enabled yet in that file.
I see you have nexus 7, this device is not A-GPS supported, but it also got a lock even faster than G2, even not in a very clear sky view.

hello there...
is there any gps software that compatible with my sgs2 that running without any data charge?i mean it just using my gps,not gprs other than google maps because it suck a lot..
there are a few out on the market some are free. others you buy. These programs use internal maps and gps, no data.
igo, tomtom to name a ew which are compatible with android phones.

These phones don't seriously have an internal GPS antenna; do they? If I turn my data signal off I get no GPS.
How does the GPS work exactly in these phones? I mean with data on I guess it somehow uses tower triangulation to find the phone...but how does it work with the data network dis-activated? I'm confused.
The phone has full gps chip and aerials, with the data connection off agps won't work so well, and google maps won't work, but anything that stores there maps locally will work.
GPS fix will take longer without agps

So without data it will still get a lock? You're saying that the phone DOES have a GPS antenna inside?
I've tried it before and it just seems like it searches for satellites forever and never gets a lock.

It does take some time to lock for the first time (like 2 minutes), but it works well.

Yes it does, but a cold lock with no data connection will take quite a while.
Also make sure you have a clear view of the sky.

So why does it take so long to get a lock compared to lets say a regular GPS unit that you put in your car? Is it because the antenna is smaller?

It should take the same amount of time in most cases. But sometimes the circumstances are different. A typical fix time i 5-30seconds for my SGS2, but sometimes it is slower.
And if your chip for some reason needs a complete configuration from the satellites it could take up to 10-15 minutes to get a fix (exceptional situation).

With data off and corrupt calendar data in the GPS chip it takes even more than 5 minutes.
Wait 15 minutes instead. This time is required due to the extremely low bit rate from gps satellites (50 bits/s).
Another idea is to download gps test from market and clear and update agps-data, this requires data connection on.
Both these solutions are known to work for others, hopefully one of them works for you.

@cosmic blue:
warez link reported!
also, to clarify a few things here:
there is no tomtom for android.
basically, there is igo, navigon and ndrive.
these are offline navigation apps that do not require a data connection for navigation, since their maps, pois, voices... are stored on the phone itself, BUT navigon for instance, requires a short server connection to verify your version is legit. i don't know about the other two though.

Thanks I'll have to try that.
Basically what I want to know is that if I'm out the cell signal area AKA no cell signal and no data (obviously), the phone will still be able to get a lock? If so, that's crazy! I didn't know...I thought it either got your position from the net or triangulated your position via cell towers...not actually receiving data from a GPS satellite.
I used sygic when in spain it was really good no need to data
I have been having GPS accuracy problems with my Verizon HTC Incredible 4G LTE for a month and a half. It does not accurately measure distances using tracking apps such as Runkeeper. I have used Runkeeper for over 2 years including 2 years with my original Incredible first generation and the measurement was ALWAYS accurate. I upgraded to the Incredible 4G the last week of February 2013. A month later, the GPS began inaccurate tracking (it was accurate for the first month). I tried other tracking programs such as MapMyRun and they were also inaccurate. Using Google Maps, the accuracy is reported within 3 meters usually. Verizon reluctantly agreed to send me a new (reconditioned) phone and which I have had for almost a month. Of the 20 runs I have done with it, only one tracked accurately. Not sure why as the settings were the same as the run before and the run after which were both inaccurate. I have tried 5 different run tracking apps including Garmin Fit which does not use Google Maps. All are inaccurate. Runkeeper is the closest to actual and it varies anywhere from 1/10 of a mile off on a 3 mile course to as much as 8/10 miles off on a 4 mile course.
A jpg of today’s run is attached as an illustration. The red track is my Garmin 205 Forerunner, the yellow track is Runkeeper on the Increbible 4G. Total distance was 3.07 miles, Runkeeper measured it at 3.29 miles. The variance does not look that significant in the pic, but .22 miles over a 3 mile course is very significant and, again, on my old Incredible, it never varied by more than .02 miles from my Garmin (which I would rather not use). It looks like the signal is drifting by 40’ to 50’ and then coming back. Using GPS Status, the number of locked satellites and accuracy does not vary much at all, not more than 13 ft.
I have searched the web high and low and tried every suggestion I can find including using the GPS Status app to reset the AGPS cache, clearing app caches, phone caches, wifi on, wifi off, GPS only location setting, no antivirus, no battery saver, screen on all the time, just everything I have seen recommended. I have talked to Verizon and HTC. Nobody can solve the problem and I don’t see anybody else posting problems with the Incredible 4G LTE GPS accuracy. I am convinced there is some kind of interference between the actual GPS and the communication with GPS tracking apps. I am not even 3 months into this contract and I hate this phone. Can anybody help?
Do you have Google location service enabled? I noticed apps not getting accurate gps when I had it enabled for Google now...

That would be interesting - it could be a power-saving measure to use Google location over GPS when a certain degree of accuracy is possible (a degree which is not agreed upon by all).

I have tried it with both Verizon and Google location disabled and tracking is still inaccurate. I don't believe I have tried it with Verizon on, Google off, but I will do so on my next run...I am willing to try anything.
Do you still have your original Incredible? You can still use its GPS to track yourself even if that phone isn't on contract with the network.
Another possibility is flashing the old radio from the original stock ROM from when the phone initially launched with Android 4.0.3. I am using that radio and have never had a problem with GPS accuracy. You'd have to S-OFF your phone to flash it, but it's definitely worth looking into.

Okay, so I tried it with only Google location off...no difference. Tracking was off .26 miles over a 4.23 mile route. I also tried it with wifi off, Verizon and Google off, Google maps running, screen not allowed to sleep and tracking was off .15 miles over a 4 mile course.

No, I don't still have my original Incredible. I wouldn't want to do that anyway because the main reason I like to use the phone apps to track is that the data is sent to the website (Runkeeper) and I have access to all kinds of statistics. That all happens in the background which is nice. I can upload data from my Garmin watch, but it is not automatic.
I am interested in trying flashing the old radio, but don't know how to do that. Does the phone have to be rooted? Would it void my warranty (I haven't given up the idea that Verizon or HTC may replace the phone)

You have to be S-OFF, which doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a rooted ROM. Going S-OFF would void your warranty if you sent it in that way. You would have to flash an RUU and re-lock before sending it in. Also, if you S-OFF your phone, you will lose everything that's not backed up: contacts, game data, everything, so be sure to back everything up.
You can obtain the old radio here, and instructions for flashing it are simple once you do that. Download the radio, install HTC drivers and ADB, reboot to Fastboot on your phone (Turn off, hold down button and power on device, go to Fastboot), in ADB, type "fastboot flash radio [radioname].zip" ([radioname] being whatever the filename is before the extension), and run that command a few times to make sure the radio sticks. Voila, different radio.

Seems like it works randomly. My OTS would turn on out of no where but never from the actions I defined.
I think this may have something to do with the sensors not working properly right now.

I liked the style of the app and the config page made me feel it would turn on when I wanted it, but the screen never ever ever never turned on once using it.
I tried a Screen Shake On app from play store, but it would only work for about two minutes after the screen went dark. Now I just push the power button, but am keeping my eye out for a good app to get this function.

Is this related to why the calibration screen appears to be perfectly consistent and it looks like the sensors are fine, but then once the screen has gone to sleep, it will wake up again for movements and orientations that seem to bear no resemblance to how it was set?
At one point I was halfway convinced that it was consistently waking up when I had the watch rotated to about 30 degrees closer to vertical and 45 degrees counterclockwise (using the face as the clock) from the settings I'd given it, but then I concluded I must have been inexplicably inebriated when I determined that.

I don't have any app of this type loaded at the moment. Sometimes I still catch the screen on. So, don't assume every time you see it lit up it's because of the WatchOn app. This thing is just 7 kinds of silly and does what it wants.

They still have not fixed the security and root issues I told them about in November. Mainly because they lack the skills. The only reason the sensors and app work on the EU 512/4 is because I fixed it by pulling the kernel from another x201.

I gather that means yes, theoretically, but it's far less likely.
I've installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adl.appshakerShake and it seems to work pretty consistently (although the balance I have found for being able to activate it when I want without it activating because I scratched my nose or something is at a sensitivity of 9, which roughly translates to "vigorously rotate my wrist back and forth for about a second."
I just remembered I haven't reinstalled E-Robot since my last flash and I never got around to trying to use it to create a "turn the screen on when the watch shakes a lot" action; I may try that soon.
Shake is one of the very few that do work. I haven't tested them all but may include it in the next release as well as remote camera control for those that are doing the BT companion workaround.

Action when shaken: Simple - Turn Screen On
Sensitivity: 8 is working well for me, I recommend trying a little higher while you're attempting to get it to work...8 is a pretty vigorous back-and-forth rotation of the wrist for me.
Service State: On
Start at Phone Startup: checked
Active when screen is off: checked
Battery saving mode: unchecked
Vibrate when shaken: checked
Notify when shaken: checked (I think Turn Screen On is one of the actions for which this doesn't do anything)
Most shake or position based wake apps do not work on the 1/8 1900. Even Shake is inconsistent and it's the best so far.

On Maps also it shows 1-2 block far !!
Had the same issue when phone was in a bad mount. So the phone bounced around even just a little and it really screwed up the navigation. Reverse direction, different road... Took it off mount and it was immediately fine. It was not a magnetic mount either

I can confirm that I also have that issue. I use the GPS daily and see it regularly "stick" my location arrow to a road I'm not on that's close by and assume I've gone off course, only to snap back to where I am a few moments later. I've also missed a fair few exits when the location stops updating and all of a sudden I teleport forward a mile or more which is just past where I was supposed to get off. I'm on stock deodex and unlocked/rooted but have no other mods and no Xposed. I do have GPS Status installed and set to run whenever the GPS is active. Haven't found anything that helps so far.
Using Trusted Places has been a thorn in my side. It worked about 4 phones ago, but never since. I've tried several work arounds, but still the dang phone requires me to put my stupid finger on the display so often. It's frustrating.
Does this work for anyone else?

Hey! It's working. I noticed the phone was stating, 'Manually locked'. I must have been forcing a lock. Now I double tap to wake the phone an it's open!
As with all my previous devices, it worked for a solid 1.5 days and now it stopped working again. Guess they will never fix it. Whenever I set it up from scratch, it will work for 1-2 days and then stop working for no reason. It's so unreliable. Wish there was an option to tie smart lock to a Wi-Fi network. Guess without root, I'm out of luck...

You're able to get Smart Lock (with trusted places) working for 1-2 days? That's amazing.. I though it's only for "4 hours"?
Here's what I don't get..
So in the Trusted Places screen, it has a note at the bottom saying:
"Your device will stay unlocked for up to four hours..."

However, when I click on the "Learn More" link at the bottom to get clarification, it says this:
When you don't use your phone for 4 hours, and after it restarts, you'll need to unlock it

So which is it? Seems like both of those statements are different.
Either way, I tested this by enabling Smart Lock and setting a timer for 3hr59m. When the timer alerted, I confirmed that Smart Lock was still working. After 1 minute, Smart Lock stopped working.
Is this the expected behaviour that after 4 hours, Smart Lock expires?

It should probably say, "When you don't use your phone for 4 hours, or after it restarts, you'll need to unlock it."
Your phone will lock itself after 4 hours of non-use as well as anytime it is restarted. Both of these are true.

Yeah that makes sense. However I noticed that after waking up this morning, my Smart lock was still functional! It seems very buggy.
I'm also having issues re-instating the Smart Lock (using Trusted Places) once it "expires".. I keep trying to toggle it on, and then off again, but with many failed attempts.. I then just remove all my "places", started fresh, and it worked.. no idea and not intuitive.
