Hello all
i am having gps problems.
Can anyone please help me. I am running sac rom and on nc5d.
Hello. Can you be more descriptive on what issue you are having? I recommend a program called "GPS Stats" from the playstore. My GPS is not all that accurate when I use it for running or cycling. Aside from that it seems to work well.

no worries. this is not another "my gps doesn't work thread". it's a question thread.
My gps finally started working with Auxura 2.1 and JL1 radio.
My question is why. what causes all the GPS problem? why when I change to another rom (Nero, for example) the GPS stops working. if it's working for me - it means that the problem is 100% software and not hardware. so what exactly causes it and why fixing it is so complicated and take so much effort and time (for example the lousy gps restore application from samsung)
thanks
Hello,
I'm seems to be having this issue since I've installed my first modded rom or Radio.
Cannot recall it just now.
It does not matter which rom I have installed but the only way to get GPS working is to reboot the phone. Since then the gps works ok for some time.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Any solutions?
Cheers

I can offer 2 suggestions.
1) Give "GPS Status" a try. Android Market. **Edit: use this app to download new GPS data. Can't remember exactly what it's called.
2) Go to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8176243&postcount=1)and search for "GPS". There are 3 files. Europe, US and Asia. Try the one for your location.
Option 2 usually works for me. I think it is compatible with any ROM.
Thanks,
flashing the radio and Heroine seem to fixed the issue.
I will keep testing it in next few days
I would also suggest the app 'GPS Status and Toolbox'.
If that fails then try a different radio.
How did you get on after a few days?
yesterday I installed custom Rom (HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.04 ) on my galaxy S2 and now I am having problem with GPS signals, can anyone confirm if they are able to use gps on this Rom. thanks
Can't confirm GPS works on this rom as I don't use it, but in answer to the question raised in the subject of your post, you can test GPS with GPS Status from market. Shows all kinds of useful details/info (and comes in a 'lite' version w/ads if you're averse to paying for apps )
When I first installed the rom, gps didnt locate me when I used google maps. I just used gps fix from the market and it found me pretty fast.

I have tried GPS Status from market it did not catch any signals. I am a bit confused between, its hardware problem or software
You may test to flash other radio.
It's not HARDWARE considering that it was working on your old rom
moden and gps?
is there any connection between this 2 ?
Does anyone else experience near constant GPS search notifications? I'm rooted and running OC1. It seems like every other time I turn on my phone there is a GPS notification on the lock screen. I guess it could be caused by an app (I use a few GPS apps for running, cycling, etc) but they aren't any different than the apps I used on kitkat and I didn't have the constant GPS alerts like I do on Lollipop. Maybe Google Location History? Anyone else experience this?
Thanks.
Reviving this old thread because I am experiencing the same, hoping there's a fix out there. Rooted, running OC1 using the Muniz_ri method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558
Hello,
I own a THL 5000 (chinese manufacturer).
Because the stock ROM didn't work (reboots in standby mode) there's a ROM installed, the phone is rooted properly. Unfortunately, the only thing that doesn't work is my GPS. I tried many guides (and also a lot of apps), but the one that worked best (Mobileuncle) gave me a GPS signal that was so weak I couldn't even dream of getting my position right.
Google maps only knows which town I'm at (probably because of my WiFi). Anything I can do there?
Thanks for helping.
