Hi there
I want to ask you about strange thing a saw after flashing my SGS with any other ROM than my stock PLUS GMS 2.1 Eclair JM2... It's a branded rom which i had when i bought phone in my shop. When i flash any other ROM (like Darky's or Doc's rom) GPS can't catch cold fix... Has problems with lock and sometimes it takes long time to see any satelites... When it get a fix, hot fix are ok later, but after about hour it has again problems with fix... Thats a little annoyng cause on branded ECLAIR GPS works great... I'm always making a wipe and format system before flash a new rom ald flashing roms with wipe option built in... Currently using Doc's v6.2 XXJPY 2.2.1 and same issues - problems with fix after no using gps... The worst is in the morning, after no using gps in more hours... Restarting GPS, restarting GPS status, and fighting with it and sometimes i cant catch fix gps in about 10 - 20 minutes or more... GPS isn't broken i thing if it's working on my stock branded rom... In LbsTestMode everything is seted up corrrectly... On flashed for test JPP radio (someone tells me that is best for GPS) where same problems... Is that normal after wipe that GPS needs few days to work properly? please help me anyone...
Having the same problem. Used pure JPY, GPS was blazing fast and acurate. Now with Doc 6.2 can't even lock to satelites.
if no one helps the only thing will be to flash stock JPY, and apply CWM and kernel with lagfix... But it may not helps... really no one knows whats going on with gps issues after wipe/flash?
Flash this via cwm and see if that fixes your GPS:

nope... didn't help... same problem...
Try this then:

Flash via CWM then do another reboot.
If that fails, I give up

seems that it locks quite fast... 'll check again morning... but somethings strange. after few minutes of working gps is automaticly turning off? why? if im not moving and phone is not used and not moving it is normal?
i'm glad you're getting a quick lock with GPS now. As for your new problem, that is either application or settings related.
hello, after i install skyhigh 1.4c kernel, my gps stop working. it still says waiting for gps signal. before install kernel it works well.
So don't use that kernel?!!?
Hello! The gps used to work on my Ideos X6 but since a while back I can't get a fix. I thought it was because of flashing different roms and changing kernels that something wasn't compatible but now I've reverted back to stock with SUT and it still doesn't work. I've tried a bunch of gps fix-apps too but no luck. Do you think the gps is broken hardware wise?
try mokee it is beat for GPS
gps locks just in sec's

Try this, install fasterfix and choose a server for your region. In settings go to my location settings, disable "Automatic assisted gps" and "use wireless network" leaving only "use gps sattellites" option enabled. Now install GPS Test and go out into a region where you can see the sky clearly and fire up gps test and see if you get any sattelites. When the big yellow dot becomes green you have a lock, see if you can get any sats.

unfortunately my phone also faces gps problem but not your kind. Its just takes too long to get a f*** lock. Maps app shows direction correctly and turns when I turn, but the navigation app just wouldn't lock soon enough. So I guess the problem might be handset related, each phone behaving uniquely....... So I think its best if you flash stock and return your phone for a replacement before your warranty expires...
just my 2 cents,
whyzee
I had tried all those gps fix apps with no luck. I finally managed to get gps working by flashing an old stock rom with old kernel via SUT. I think the huawei versions' gps doesn't work with all kernels. As far as I can remember the gps stopped working after flashing one of the MIUI ICS roms, but I'm not sure. I'm going to try and root now and install Maclite, cause I'm almost sure I had gps working before with that rom.

MIUI ICS? x.x ICS theme or ICS rom? cuz AFAIK the only MIUI ICS here is zuk's abandoned MIUIv4 proj..
I have your issue as well after flashing to CK's Dark MIUI. but then I flashed edowar's libs-gps file and it's fine.. can be found somewhere in his CM7 thread I think.. now I get locks within 7-30s..
I just got the my HTC One for Sprint and after rooting, I am unable to lock on to GPS using Google Maps. I am currently running Cynogenmod 10.1 20130704 Nightly.
I even tried GPS status to do reset GPS but no luck. If i flash sense based ROM GPS locks on right away. Anyone seen this issue or know of a fix?

back up cm10 restore your sense rom, and lock your gps on then boot to recovery and reinstall cm10
That worked for me once, but didn't seem to stick. I believe gps stopped working once I was in a LTE area.
I edited the /etc/gps.conf file using root browser.
The last line where the setting LPP_PROFILE=X
Stock CM10.1 is 0.
I changed it to 3, rebooted and gps locked right on.
There is a post in the CM10.1 thread (page 48-ish IIRC) that mentions changing it to 1. I tried 3 and it worked for me. I will try 1 if gps stops working again.
Great thanks. That worked like a charm.

Just remember that after every flash you need to change that file again.
Might see if this setting can be merged into the mainline if this is a valid fix.
I have a problem with my gps, I use gps test from play store and when I use any lollipop rom my gps works fine, I get a quick fix in under 5 seconds.
When I flash any Android kit kat rom including stock, my device doesn't even find any satellites let alone lock on.
Can anyone help please.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi, try csc changer from playstore, it will full wipe your phone, and change csc to your origial one (your phone came out with).I think it only works multi csc rom,like amcha. Maybe there is another more simple method, but for me it was the only solution.
