In my incredible s mobile gps fix is taking more time & sometime it wont fix at all...i have compared my mobile with my frds mobile (incredible s) in hes mobile it fix very quick.. but in my mobile its taking time to fix and most of time it wont fix the gps...
plz somebody solve these problem.....
Do you have a rooted device? Then you have some solutions for that problem.
Try FasterFix, manage & check your GPS with GPS Status & Fix
This is probably the best solution: Wipe efs cache
Had some problem connecting to the satellite just now. It was cloudy.
Then I tried FasterFix and it DID solved my problem. Location fixed under 2 minutes. Thanks a lot. =)
Mine didn't connect even after the device detected 12 satellites... even after keeping it on for 5 minutes, downloaded apps to monitor the progress of the gps fix... no luck..
I then downloaded an app called gps status and downloaded A-gps data for my area...
didn't really help,
then I turned off fast boot and restarted the phone and believe it or not I've been getting 4 second fixes now... I don't really know what did the job, but it works... just try it once, doesn't hurt to try

tried 2 3 times before posting the thread it's not working, now i leaved the terminal in the garden with the navigator on to see if he catch the fix on his own
Same issue here. I've tried to redownload it. It was working fine with the stock ROM. I'm trying to research down a fix, but it seems to be hit and miss for people.
I've even reflashed the ROM, but to no avail.
solved! i've left the mobile in the garden with navigator turned on for about 10 mins.
after the first fix i turned off the phone and tried again, fix again in less 5 sec, great!
Ok please help.... take atrix back i was within my 30 days and got the thrill yaaa love it . Now i can never get a gps lock once i did a half hour later not acceptable in open sunny clear skys.... Now what ive tried to remedy this situation take phone back got new one same thing tried one on display same thing . Went to the market downloaded gps status ,gps fix, rebooted ,data wipe im not rooted fyi hard reset no dice . im losing patience at this point im in sales and gps is much needed i called lg they said send it to them 2week turnaround and they wil fix it or give me a refurb i send new you send me refurb ok lol any suggestions from here would love to try ive searched this forum and optimas3d for resolution none to be found I cant be the only one i tried 4 lg thrills all the same and yes gps is ticked on it locates maps from data but provides no gps just sits there searching and no im not in a cave this is outside not even in the car.
if it helps for a fix i can root
i will root if anybody believes this would help cmon people no ideas at all please .
Do you have data turned on? I gotta ask because a GPS lock can take a while without data or wifi turned on.
Have you tried GPS Status from the market? If you download that and then go to menu>tools>download. It will download new gprs data which will help with GPS lock time.

Even without Data turned on it should take no where near that long. I always have data turned off and it finds GPS within a minute usually. Now if your going to use google maps you Have to have data turned on which is slightly annoying but eh I downloaded Navigon for that specific reason. Navigon stores the maps on the SD card so I don't need to have active data and Only GPS Fix. Anyway if that is your issue attempt Navigon as it is an "Offline" solution that Only requires GPS Fix.
Yes if tried all of what's been mentioned above even recalibration on my Wifi data everything I can think off Att support wow hard reset is the extent of there support.

try gps status , to see if is an app error from navigator and other gps programs or RC3.1 probleme , and if are ICS probleme try first to flash devil led kernel
and a wipe cache
I though onecosmic's RC 3.X was only for the i9000 and not i9001.
Well I Tried and looked at the gps status, I didn't really get what am i sepoused to do there, I reset and cleared all gps data and downloaded it after wards..
the app didn't show any errors ..
Try to get GPS Aids from market. Had the same problem and that fixed my gps
Tried the gps aids too... Ain't working.. anything else?...
When I tried the gps doctor at gps aids, it showed me that the gps mode status is not working (the cube near it is red) and after trying the setup and the fix everything possibility it still ain't working... any idea?

Try to download the GPS test and install it, then go to settings and select clear agps, then update agps.
Oh and dont try the gps inside your house! Try it in the middle of the street! Gps signal is always reeeally weak or undetectable inside a house.
Unhappy to say, still didn't work!
Can you post the exact ROM and kernel version you are using?
Also try the following. Disable wifi, reboot phone, try GPS test.
I had GPS problems a while ago and the workaround was to boot the phone with wifi disabled. Something todo with init scripts messing up GPS/BT.
When in Google maps do you get the GPS icon in the status bar when trying to GPS fix?
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STlb...xt=C3c039cbUDOEgsToPDskJOGd0pTyqyB6SPWL6OcwDB
Better to just send it back to samsung for them to fix if it's under warranty. If not, just sell it and get another one. I really like my SGS but i've given up hope for gps. I've just accepted it doesn't work and be happy the phone's great in everything else (like sound). Was kind of gutted having paid so much for a phone with a non-working gps but to be honest i have little need for a gps so when i need one i just use a dedicated one.
Now I'm using RC4.2 ICS By Onecosmic, Gps Still aint working well, I do get the gps icon... but still, my location ain't really accurate and I cant navigate or anything..
I tried the video that have been posted, None improvment...
Is there any thing else?..
The GPS issue with the i9000 is a mystery to me. I've tried software and hardware fixes to no avail with GB based ROMs. However, when I switched to Slim's ICS ROM my device started to register satelites again with the GPS test app from the market. Despite this when I open the maps app it takes forever to get a fix, so long infact that I give up long before it ever does
Same issue AOKP Milestone 4 ICS. Nothing on GPS Status.
I use market app GPS aid.

So lately my 4x have been loosing the gps connection alot.
It finds it pretty quick at the start but tends to loose signal alot and after loosing signal then it can take up to 5-7mins to get it back.
I mainly use gps for endomondo and some navigation, but its still really frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions to what I might try or whats wrong?

You can test the GPS in "Hidden Menu" or use "Z-Device Test" from the PlayStore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zausan.zdevicetest
That happends with all GPS programs?
I'm with Navigon Europe and its very good. CoPilot Live is good too. Never had problems with them.
Maybe it help to take a look here:

Thank you very much. Will try That lock app, since everything looks good with z-device test.

Hello, I have problem with my gps.
I have tried several roms but nothing. It does not work. Also, I have tried the gps patch with no success.
Furthermore I tried several gps check apps and my phone found 0 satellites.
I think that it may be hardware problem.
Any idea?
Hi,
My dad has a Galaxy S Advance and we can not use its GPS receiver at all. I tried the GPSTest application, it doesn't show any satellites, whilst my old I9000 Galaxy S - which has a very weak receiver - can find 7-8 satellites. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Phone was running on I9070XXLPY (the very first 4.1.2), I thought it may be a SW issue so I have just flashed the latest German I9070XXLQE firmware via Odin but the issue still exists. Phone functionality and Bluetooth are working fine, so Modem binary is working and /efs is not lost. Phone is not rooted and I don't want it to be rooted at all.
Thanks in advance

Edit: one thing, it has found one satellite once outside but none anymore

You never had it working good on JB except that one time? Factory reset, from recovery. Backup all what you need before that.

I can't really say it was working that time but yes, it's right. Next time when I go home I'll try the factory reset, if no other suggestion comes. Thank you for the help! :good:
After factory reset the phone can find ~3 satellites only, no more

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S Advance
Tried hard reset S Advance factory reset

In winter i thought it is very slow because of the weather conditions, clouds etc. but in summer it is the same. Sooo slow, not getting position, it takes 10 min. to see satellites.
Is it a common problem? Is it hardware problem?
Did someone solved somhow?

If Internet enabled, it is the same. I know that if you download GPS data it should find GPS signal much sooner, but it shouldn't.
Thanks
Root and set gps.config to your country. Search for ntp servers. (Almighty Google). By default for my phone it was set to North America, and I am in Serbia. It was taking 3-5 mins to get gps fix, after changing it to my (rs.ntp.blah, blah) it takes 10-30 seconds.
