¿Have you tried using it whit GPS activated?

yes, but not working

This app has compas calibration, it may help

Apparently there is a problem with the compass in version 6 of Google Maps on Gingerbread.
To solve this issue I installed Google Maps 5.12 from an apk.

Did it work without any issues ?

I'm using Zeus 6.39 (v20n).
Installing Google Maps 5.12 resolves the "missing compass" issue.
The accuracy of the compass, and of the GPS in general, I'm not so sure. I haven't tested properly yet, but my initial impression is that GPS + compass worked better in the stock Froyo I was using before. It's a pity, because for the rest this Zeus rom seems great. I'm considering reverting to Froyo.

After some more testing: I can't get GPS and the compass to work properly in Zeus 6.39 and 7. I get a fix quite fast, but the current location is skipping from here to there to the point where it's completely useless for navigation, and the compass is sometimes working, but more often way off. Calibration doesn't really help. I tried various fixes for GPS as well, but to no avail.
It seems it's a general problem with Gingerbread and the (hardware of my) OB. In Froyo GPS + compass work fine on my OB.
Now trying Nova 8 (Froyo ROM). GPS works fine there.

Same on my OB. I found CM7 based ROMs are better in GPS, but best solution for me was to buy cheap bluetooth GPS module. On Froyo I also had no problems.

I used it a few times...so I can tell you that it does work with gingerbread...but can't recall the version number of sygic...I uninstalled due to lack of search engine that is tied in with maps like Google navigation/app.
it seems a common problem on (certain?) other phones running 2.3.3.
http://support.sygic.com/sygic
most of it seems like crashing issues, but i do seem to recall seeing a few GPS connectivity related issues.
fwiw, in on 2.3.4 and sygic works perfect for me. also, there was an update for the main app yesterday which fixed various bugs; try an update!

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.

Stable Gingerbread ROM with good GPS + compass?

Looking for a stable, snappy Gingerbread ROM with working GPS and compass.
I tried Zeus 6.39, which seemed great, except that I can't seem to get GPS and the compass to work reliably. I do get a GPS fix quite fast, but after that my location skips around quite a bit, and the compass is also not that reliable. In fact the compass mode in Google Maps 6 is completely absent (which can be solved by installing 5.12).
I don't care much for fancy launchers or themes, just a snappy, stable GB ROM with working GPS & compass would be enough.

Hello:
I would like to confirm if my OB has a hardware problem. My OB doesn't fix GPS, withj GPS Test, all satellites signals are between 15 and 30m with clear weather and total sky visibility. Are normal those levels?
I think that this problem comes from a OB drop. Could the antenna be damaged? Would this problem be solved changing case with antennas?
Thanks in advance.
Try this ROM:

I had also problems with GPS, I even bought extrenal bluetooth GPS module. With this ROM, GPS work fine for me.

[Q] CM10 & GPS problem

Hello to all...
i am using the cm-10-20120901-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd and i face a problem with GPS sync ...
as long as i used the gingerbread 2.3.6 with semaphore kernel the gps was working perfect and was locking satellites very fast.
fast and stable use of the GPS . i had never problem.
in the CM10 my phone faces difficulties to lock satellites and when that happens then it syncs and unsync every 10-15 seconds ...
i have done all wipes, i have install again the cm10 but i have still problems with the GPS signal.
i don't think so that there is a hardware problem because i have done the trick with the tape in the GPS antenna and because in stock 2.3.6 my GPS was working identical !!
by the way i have installed the same nightly in a friends of mine samsung S and his GPS works fine ....i don't know what happens ..
any ideas ?? anyone with the same problem ???
i would appreciate your help ...

GPS Poblems

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.
