Hi,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S here in Australia, rooted it and upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 I know that GPS worked just fine with 2.1, I was able to walk home and see my position updating very nicely on Google maps
Since updating to 2.2, GPS hasn't worked at all. When I turn it on, and start an application that uses GPS (Navigation, Maps, etc), the GPS icon sits there and flashes back and forth between those two types of icons and I don't get anything on the maps which shows me where I am. I haven't chased this up since upgrading, but it's starting to bug me now
After searching these forums for 'gps not working', I've pulled down the 'GPS test' application and I don't know for sure, but it appears to find one satellite:
PRN SNR Elev Azim Flags
2 11.0 74.0 150.0
But the GPS icon just sits there flashing back and forth.
I may have missed something since upgrading, do I need to do something to the phone to get my GPS working again?
Thanks!
OK, I seem to have fixed the problem I turned on "Use wireless networks" and voila! I now have successful GPS lock and position in my maps
I would have thought that you could use GPS without having "Use wireless networks" turned on!?

Wouldn't call it a successful GPS lock. Since you got it with the mobile networks. (in my case when I use it . the accuracy in my village is about 1000-1500m since the BTS is that much far from me )
So if you get into an area with weak mobile networks, wont help you much .
Wouldnt call this as resolved with "BAD GPS" cuz your GPS still sucks as before (and doesnt work , you just found a workaround that was there also before , 2.2.1 has even some other function for GPS that tries to fix it (or help?) )
But since you can use it now, its ok I guess . OH and there are kinda almost no real fixes for this. Most of SGS GPS suck . There is GPS aids, shutting down wifi, GPS status app, changing the something according to your country.
Ok!
I got the same problem as the user from the post.
GPS worked like a charm on my Galaxy S (NDrive or Google) running 2.1.
I updated it to Froyo 2.2.1 JS7 and since then it doesn`t work anymore.
I can't get a fix.
I did the GPS position test and It locks on 8 satelites. Why the F%CK it doesn`t work anymore?
I am almost going back to Eclair.
Any sugestions?
TY!
So you get a lock when doing the GPS test, but no luck in any other applications? I couldn't get a lock at all until I turned on my wireless as well as the GPS, then it worked for GPS test as well as applications...
I get a lock on 8 satelites on the Location Test with and without "Use Wireless connections".
BUT
I can't get a lock when I am using Google maps, with or without "Use Wireless connections".
I bought the AIDS GPS app on Market, but it did't work neither.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I updated to Gingerbread (2.3.3) and my problem was solved. Hope it helps somebody!

I also installed GPS Aids and paid for it.
This program does automatic changes to your GPS settings.
Maybe it works for you.
Hi,
I've been having problem for some time with GPS and Google Navigator: after a while the navigator looses the GPS fix and never regains it. The odd thing is that I have no problem with Waze.
Do you have any clue of what could be the problem and how to fix it?
I have a stock ROM and the phone is not rooted.
Thanks
A-GPS update ?
Have you tried any apps like "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the play store to force update/reset your A-GPS data ? It might sound dumb ...

Try to use a mysterious feature in this forum, namely: search feature.
However, as I see that you're unfamiliar with it, please refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043034 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697217
Hi all.
I have been having problem with my GPS for a while. The GPS can lock on my device and find me when using the app, though after a while the GPS signal is lost. i was using SportsTracker, I have tried another app such as Endomondo though the problem remain.
I also tried using GPS Aids PRO but it appears that it didn't work or that I don't know to use this app.
I'm using C-Rom V6 (Based on CM10.1, Android version 4.2.1 AOSP) so if this is because that my ROM isn't official for SGS this would be really unfourtunate.
Please help guys, running 4 or 8 KM without mesuring my run is really, ehh, not fun.
Please help?
I use C-RoM too but didn't experience any problem on GPS.
Try clearing the data of your GPS app in settings > apps. It's important to have a clear sky area (no obstructions) to have good GPS signal.
If it didn't help, it's maybe a hardware problem already.There are threads on XDA discussing how to fix the GPS hardware problem.

Did you try to change modem???
Hello,
I just recently got my HTC One and flashed the most recent CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly to it using TWRP, and the GPS has stopped responding i.e. perpetual "Searching for GPS" message when I pull up Google Maps and other GPS programs.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it? Thanks!
Hi guys,
So gps is not working well. Waze and google maps can't get a close on my location when i'm trying to navigate. I've had this issue with the first version of the pie update but that was fixable with disabling some google service in the gps settings. Now that does not help. Any of you have this issue? Can anything be done to resolve this?
Cheers
Hi,
I'm facing the same problem too. This is getting really frustrating. One update fixes the problem and the next one messes it up again. I'm really tired of this...
