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

Hi! I updated my S4 to the latest firmware. Now m having issue in wifi. It stops downloading apps and speed is slow also. It gets disconnect and connect from wifi its self. No matter how near you are to you wifi source. Any suggestions that what might be the problem?
I assume you did not have a problem on MDK.
I had a similar problem after flashing an ME7 ROM and then back to MDK (can't say I really checked while on the ME7 ROM). I finally removed anything that might be trying to control WiFi (Battery Guru, Llama, etc.) and also turned off Power Save mode. The problem has stayed gone ever since. I haven't had the time to go back and re-enable each of those in sequence to track down exactly which was the problem.
I have a GPS problem / question. I'm on Galaxy Note fre3 Hybrid De[Odex] v2.11 but I don't believe this is a ROM issue. I have certain apps that require location services and GPS to be on, example would be the WWE app or even our SBarometer app. If I turn GPS on and enable location services, the apps do not detect that GPS is on and I have no GPS icon in my status bar. If I use GPS Status it's fine. Any ideas? It's not app settings because on my Mega when I open the same apps the GPS icon comes on immediately and the app works properly.
Have you found a fix for this? I am on stock 4.4.2 with root, and I have been having the same GPS issue for several months now. Whenever I use Waze, it's constantly looking for a GPS signal, and MapMyRun will find it and drop it several times while I run making it impossible to track my runs. One other thing I did notice, is when I'm using Waze, if I turn the screen off, it locks on to the GPS. I can tell it's locked on because the voice commands start giving me directions, but when I turn the screen back on, it looses the GPS signal again. I would really like to get this issue fixed. The only other option will be to take it back to Sprint for an exchange.

I too am having a GPS problem. I'm Stock and not rooted with the most recent Sprint OTA (NK4). I've been suffering with this since NH7 came out and no ROMs, stock or otherwise have fixed my problem. Any recommendations on what I should flash? I'm considering doing an Odin Flash of NC5 just to see if that would help.
I have read through this thread, the first thing I would try is to update your PRL and profile. If GPS works on some apps and not on others I'd be willing to bet there's nothing wrong with the device or a stock rom running on it. I would try and contact customer service for the app and see if others are having the same problems with the apps., and see if there is a fix.

Hey guys, ever since flashing a custom ROM onto my Verizon GS4, I've had issue with getting my phone's location. Given the location options on 4.4.3, the phone is able to get a rough location on the High Accuracy setting but can't do anything under Device Alone. As such, I'm pretty sure it's the GPS having issues. Others have had compass problems with the ROM I'm currently on, but everyone seems to be able to get a GPS lock when I can't. I've done a dirty flash, a clean flash, and even redownloaded the .zips from other locations in case the file was bad, but nothing has solved my problem. I use my phone's location settings for a variety of apps, so I'd really like to get it working again. Does anyone know of diagnostics I could perform? My hope is that it's just a software issue, and that I didn't do any permanent damage to the hardware. Thanks for the help!

Try faster fix in the play store. I've used it with several roms on several phones and it is very good

I looked up the fix you're talking about. Others seem to have had success through the gps status apps available on the playstore. Unfortunately, they didn't have any effect on my phone. I'm still stuck at searching for GPS on any app that uses it. Those who had success seem to have had it with a ROM that originally worked, but lost the ability to successfully connect. My issue seems to be in the ROM itself, or at least that's what makes sense to me. Thanks for the advice and trying to help.

Did you try the faster fix app yet?

I have tried faster GPS (running 4.4.4, so faster fix is a no-no) with no success. It replaces the file detailing GPS information and the like, but I'm still stuck searching for GPS permanently.

Greetings,
I have a rooted phone that I rooted before the gs4 safestrap was invented. So recently I tried out Hyperdrive 18 and 19. Consistent issue that I kept having is my wifi would drop every 30-40 seconds and reconnecting. I was unable to recreate the issues with Cyanogenmod 11. It appeared to only be with the hyperdrive rom. I did some googling and found someone say that their issue was resolved with the Gogoalies Wifi fix. I figured what the hell and gave it a shot. Phone rebooted and I was unable to turn on wifi and it took about a minute until I could get a cellular signal. Reflashed the rom and it booted up fine. I'm back on Cyanogenmod but it really feels like something is still wrong with the phone. I can't get the compass to work on the phone inside google maps. I tried a compass app and it is completely off. Now when I drive, the maps do not show an arrow of what direction I'm facing and I also don't have a solid lock.
So my question is does this wifi fix effect the GPS as well as other aspets of the phone and if so, can someone direct me what I need to undo the damage or suggest a better fix?
Hi everyone,
Last week, I updated my G3 to Lollipop. Ever since then, I have been unable to recieve app notifications when I am on wifi. When I turn off Wifi and use a regular signal, the notifications work fine. They also work fine when I have my phone in airplane mode, with wifi on. But, when I have wifi and the data signal on, they do not work. Ii have already done a factory reset to my phone once, and it has not resolved the issue. Is this a known bug? If so, is there a fix in place? If anyone knows, I'd appreciate any info, as this is becoming quite frustrating.
Matt
This is the dreaded WiFi Sync bug, It doesn't affect all WiFi spots. It just depends on the router you are connected to. It mainly stems from IPV6 issues. There is a fix in the works for the official OTA or you can root, and apply a fix for it. I believe Jasmine ROM has the fix in it, but I cannot say for sure as I do not run custom ROMS. I stick with stock.
This has only really affected me with GMail syncing with a 3rd party app at home. At work, I have no issues.
So, you can either root, flash the fix (search the forums and you'll find the issue) or you can wait until LG/Verizon release the patch for this, or go back to KK.
