Has anyone had issues with Smart Lock on CM12 (or any other AOSP rom), specifically with the trusted locations? It worked fine on Illusion 6.5. WiFi location is on, all location services is on, but location unlock has not worked for me on CM12.
I thought it was maybe a gapps issue, but I've tried the pa gapps and the slim gapps and location unlock still doesn't work. Also tried updating to the latest Google play services apk and still no go.

I have been using CM for years, first on the Evo 4G and now on the GS3. Ever since I can remember, I've had issues with GPS on CM. In the Evo days, I always remember flashing a GPS fix (or doing a CLR fix after flashing in from a Sense ROM). Now, with the GS3, I continue to have challenges with GPS on CM. When I had the M builds, I had decent performance with GPS and could get the navigation to lock - as well as maps finding my location. Ever since I went to the CM10 stable build, the navigation just sticks on "waiting for location" and the maps cannot find my location. Super frustrating. I even switched over to AOKP for the time being as the GPS seems to be working great (as well as most of the other features).
I am still itching to get back to CM though...
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a flashable fix for the GPS problem in CM10 on the GS3?
2. I've seen that a few people flashed into ICS, locked nav, and then flashed back to CM - does this work? if so, after doing this, can I re-flash a backup or do I have to wipe clean first?
3. Even if one of the two fixes above works, will I still have sub-par performance with GPS?
Thanks in advance.
Not my answer, rochers from androidforums:
took me quite some time to figure this one out, thought i should post it here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
When i updated to android 4.1.2, i noticed that my google navigation stopped working. It would simply sit there endlessly "waiting for location..." fortunately, there's a simple fix:
1. Go to "settings > accounts > google > location settings".
2. Flip the switch to "on" (i found this was off in my case).
3. Try google navigation again, it should work fine.
I'm not sure why google decided to break up the location settings into two different places like this, but it's a bit silly imo as it's definitely going to catch some people out.
Found this solution on xda, cant post link, but this works.

I've been on Pure.V5.4.1 since it was uploaded. For the last 4 days (at least), Maps/Navigation hasn't worked at all. I get an hourglass and then 'No Network Connection' (or whatever the message is) or if I'm on the map itself it just never fills in - a blue screen. I do have network - either WiFi or LTE (I can run chrome and do a search, etc), but Maps never connects. Clearing the Maps data/cache didn't help. I the past I needed to do that when installing one of your roms so that it would ask me for the basic permissions again.
Any ideas? I must have Maps!

The GPS issues across the board with this device are strange. I'll have to sit down and figure it out one of these days.
Basically, the arguably weird fix for any and all GPS issues is boot into a TW ROM(backup your current install) get a GPS fix in TW. Then restore your desired ROM.
It seems really weird to me because I don't see why GPS configurations would get messed up randomly and by only non-TW ROMs.

"No Network Connection" in Google Maps
I have the same problem with the new version of Maps only if I start the Navigation app first.
If you open the Maps app first, then start navigation through there, it locks on and searching for a destination works without error.

I tried that before posting, with no luck. However, following Dubbsy's suggestion to flash a TW rom, get Maps working and then re-flash v5.6 worked perfectly!

i have weird issues with it as well(paranoid android) the newest build (396) fixes it but breaks just about everything else lol, ill have to try this tw fix
So I rooted my phone and installed GPE Lollipop 5.0.1. The system works great minus one hiccup. For some reason weather apps are not updating and displaying weather info. The errors usually say 'not set' or just nothing displays. I checked to make sure all of my GPS and Wifi settings were on and they are. Google Maps locates my location. So does anyone have an idea what could be causing this issue? I'm sure it's something I'm overlooking. Thanks!
Try turning on Google location reporting in Settings>Locations, and see if that helps. I had a similar issue on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 running CM12, and remember thinking that setting didn't make any sense. But it worked.
EDIT: Or maybe its the other setting where it asks is you want to let apps access location. That would make more sense. Although I don't know how to make that option come up except during the phone setup wizard (when you first install a ROM, for instance). At least on Sense ROMs (don't know about GPE) it only shows the first option I mentioned (Google location reporting). In the setup wizard it shows both (Google location reporting & let apps access location) with option to turn off/on either or both.

Try Amber Weather on Google Play
Works fine when I rooted my phone
Hope it helps!
Hello guys, my gps isnt working on AOSIP 5.9. What should I do?
I think I solved it. I disabled the google play services from acquiring location info, after I enabled it, it works, I can find my device with android device manager and cerberus and waze, but I get no fix in gps test. Strange behaviour
I just noticed this with my note 3 magma note 8 rom and checked with another old phone (galaxy s2) which I have installed cm then installed stock touchwiz back. The GPS cannot lock on to the phone even with GPS apps, clear agps and downloading satellite data. It can see the satellites, but not lock on. For normal use like giving general location, it is fine. But when you navigate with waze or Google maps, it only shows an approximate location. Or do old phones are removed from GPS tracking system to make way for newer devices?
Anyone else noticed this before?
Ask the developer of the rom or check his thread if anyone else is facing the same issue.
