Has this happened to anybody else? The GPS WAS working on my GPe, I used it frequently before the update. I've tried a multitude of different apps, but it's just dead Jim.
I don't really expect anyone to reply to this post, but I figured I'd just throw it out there.

Try fasterGPS and then run GPS Data and leave it for a good while...
just tested mine and maps.google didn't work so am installing these now...
Edit
after installing fasterGPS I got a fix and google maps could get a pos, but chrome didn't want to - this may be something I've turned off on it though

Thank you for the reply. I installed Faster GPS, but it won't run because I don't have root.
I've got the same issue ...GPS is no longer working after the OTA ....

I cannot for the life of me figure why this is not working. I have tried various roms (currently on the latest cognition/O2UK) and they are all the same. People have reported no problems on this rom...so is something I am doing? Is there a way to teel if mobile provider is blocking this? It worked on my hd2 (running Android)
I did search and found peoople with problems but never a fix, its driving me mad.. Any help or advice would be great,
Cheers folks

Some rom makers have deleted wifisharing.apk because it used to cause a lot of battery drain. Check in /system/app whether it's present or not.
Hey man,
Thanks for the reply. Im obviously being blind...cant see the folder. I will keep searching (just installed astro) so will contine to look!
Thanks, its driving me mental haha
No, its not there...what can I do next?
Is it just my Ace or everyone in the Philippines are having problems with the GPS?... Tried checking my location through a map application(e.g. map droyd, facebook or any location aware apps) and it takes a long time for the gps search then fails.

Oh Really? Well, I'm in the visayas area right now (Aklan)... didn't work since day 1.
Thanks for the info. I'll try checking the GPS in other places (if I can travel).
working well here in negros
I never get a GPS lock how much ever time I wait, even outdoors. It doesn't work in the latest stock rom also. I tried various GPS fixes from the market but nothing works and I searched the forum too. It used to work properly a year ago. Please help...
Thanks in advance.

1. Suggestion: Try GPS Status app => free from Play store.
Works fine on my SGS2.
2. Suggestion: Try to flash stock ROM, and do a factory reset/wipe data after flashing. Maybe there is something messed up in your ROM for GPS.
3. Suggestion: If your still on warranty, go the the store/service center and try to get a replacement. Maybe it is a kind of hardware defect.
Good luck !

I've started having GPS problems from a few days ago, did the whole flashing to stock then back to my one, re-flashed the kernels, tried faster fix. BUT still no joy, was working absolutely fine until now.
Same for me. Upgrade from lp7 to lpf and now i don't get a fix.
With gps test i even see 11 satellite in view, but don't get a fix.
I tried gps aids to inject xtra data but nothing...

NO IM SURE NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF GOOGLE EVER.
Anyways, I am in a similar situation and was going to make my own thread but I'll start here.
Been running stock 4.0.3 for a few weeks but wanted to flash touchwiz ux back on because I kind of missed it. So I rooted again and behold, sucked back in to flashing all the new roms I haven't tried.
Problem-and the reason I am posting this to general q&a- is this ; Across all the roms that I flash (slim ics , rootbox, rr 2.6 etc and 3 different custom kernels)- the GPS cannot get a lock.
When I revert back to my nandroid stock 4.0.3 cf root its fine. And TBH I could get a kick out of slim being my daily so I've been searching ask Jeeves and Bing (the only two searches I've ever heard of) and trying many things to no success. Could some one point me to a thread that has helped you if you've had the same problem? Much appreciated.

i had gps problems when using cm9, but since i flashed sensation rom 3.5, my gps started working again.
so its software based, you could try agps patch

No it isn't - if you look further than the end of your nose, you will realise.
Be a little more circumspect...

Thanks. About to compose a reply in that thread now as I have tried it on all but 1 of the four roms I flashed today with the same results. Both 3.1 versions fail and abort on flash in cwm. 3.0 passes and the problem remains.

My GPS has miraculously started working again, strange! Solar flare it might have been then by the looks of things?
I have successfully unlocked and rooted my TP with TWRP for the first time. I flashed Androwook 1.4 and I have some 'newbie' questions...
1. My gps has always worked fine until now. I have checked all three boxes in the location services folder. What am I missing? I have been one of the lucky ones who has had no wi-fi or gps issues... until now.
2. Before I rooted I found a program that would help Youtube/videos load better but now I can't find it. (I have been searching threads for days now) Any suggestions to speed up Youtube?
3. What are some good root apps that will help the performance of my TP. I flashed the 1.8ghz version of Androwook and this is already a HUGE improvement over stock, now I'm power drunk... need more!
Long time lurker, I have used XDA to root my Infuse and now my TP. Huge thanks to all the devs for making my toys better than the manufacturers can.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

An answer to both questions is Pimp my Rom. It's a mod package with scripts, tweaks, and a universal GPS fix that might help you. I'll link to it at the bottom of this post. It's an app so it's easy.

That worked... for the gps. Thanks for the response.
Now if I can figure out this flash thing. If I load a custom ICS rom will I get flash back? If so what is a good rom to try?

you can not load an ics rom
you can however get flash working by either side loading from another source or clicking the flash installer in /system/app
Hey when you say that it worked for your gps, which settings did you enable? I'm having the same problem as you were with the gps not working, but it always did before. I even downloaded "gps test" and it seems like it's not even trying to look for a satellite. All of the location services are checked in the settings.

That sounds like a hardware issue. Does gps work on any other rom? Like you can flash rom x and gps works but on rom y it doesn't?

I am going to try flashing AOKP JB Unofficial real quick and see if it's working in there. I've been through several roms since I've had my prime and I don't really remember when the last time I noticed it working was. It definitely worked when I got it and through a couple roms, and then up until some point.
---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------
Damn, no luck on the other rom either, I guess I have a bigger problem. I even went outside and gave it like 10 minutes to see if it would find something, but nothing Guess I'm in trouble here. ;/

I checked everything in the pimp my rom app. After that wifi wasn't working so I unchecked all of the wifi fixes. I'm not sure what fixed it but it works now. This is the first rom I've flashed so I'm not sure if it works with other roms.
I'm still having issues with flash in Web pages. That was the main reason I got and android and not an iPad. I can't believe they just dropped it like that and I'm surprised there is not more of an uproar about it. I tried the flash 1.1 apk and it worked for a minute then the TP rebooted itself and now I'm back to the "need current flash to play this video". PITA.

Yea that's the one. I loaded it straight from that link... Same thing... It works for a little while ten reboots TP then no flash. I can re load it and it works for a little while then... Same thing. GPS is intermittent too... Worked sometimes.. Other times the weather/clock widget say "could not refresh". Also I can't switch to performance mode sometimes?
I'm gonna try a stock JB rom. Any suggestions? (the problem might not be the rom, it might be operator error)

Then "another" rom. Thanks for correcting my ignorance.. :/ thanks for the suggestion, or lack of.
Also the battery died this morning in about 3hrs. I ran the battery calibrator last night and it hasn't helped. Not sure what's going on but this thing worked good for a couple of days after I rooted it. Now it's falling apart.

1.5 will be out soon with flash built in and working properly. That should fix that issue.
I've tried 8 different roms, different kernels, searched "the google" and as much of these forums as I could... My GPS on my t0lte (vzw Note II) will not receive any satellites.
I humbly ask, tail between my legs, what must i do to get my GPS working on my note II again? :crying:
