Hi all,
I noticed that no matter what rom I am using, my gps is having serious trouble to get fix. Even using tools to reset agps data, I'd not bringing any luck.
I own this phone since March, and it worked always very well... Full a month (at least that is the moment I noticed I get hardly a fix).
Is it something with the antenna? What can be done without sending for repair?

Update 1: I used gps test, of the 23 sats I get a fix with 4 only after 30 minutes. With my wife's HTC one, I get within 2 minutes a fix with 15 sats...

All, I have solved the issue, after opening up the xperia z, they were simply 2 screws lying loose in the phone... And I never had it opened. Good thing I asked someone to open the phone for me , if I would sent it for warranty they probably would have tried to put it aside warranty as it seemed someone opened and messed around on the phone..

Sounds defective. How long have you had it? I've had mine since release week and haven't experienced those issues once. I'm rooted, but still on factory stock.
May want to return it for another

Same thing happened to me. GPS couldn't lock on a signal and after a while it randomly locked on one.
Same here. I got a lock using the 'GPS test' app and it seems okay now.

Same happened to me. I updated to 4.3 and I've never had a phone with faster GPS. I know its not am answer, but I'd imagine everyone will be on 4.3 soon enough. The GPS and Bluetooth are amazing now.

Mine crapped out a while back (didn't coincide with any update) but impacted more than just Google Maps. My running app also stopped working. I used the GPS test app and it kind of worked but was still very unreliable.
Called Google, told them I already did the requisite reset, and they shipped me a new phone in two days with a call tag for the old one. Been working since.
I had this issue once and found that there was an issue with the Location settings permissions. So I cleared map cache and data and then restarted. Turned on permissions for locations and it worked. Just a thought.

I don't know if it's just my handset that has this issue. If it's an issue at all.
My GPS takes forever to find my actual location. Leaving central London yesterday on the M4 the GPS around 25 minutes to find where I was. It isn't really acceptable to be quite honest.
Is there an issue or is it a handset fault solely affecting me?

My GPS locates my position in a couple of seconds.
Have you tried the GPS Test on service menu?

Done. It took nearly an hour to find a signal. But it found one... I don't understand. If the hardware is working why isn't the signal being detected in a normal time frame.

Have you tried reflashing a stock rom. And see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you probably have some tweak or module doing stuff to the gps.
If the problems still there it could be your carrier or a faulty device.
Flashed back already. Several times. I haven't got any tweaks or changes going on, the only reason I rooted was to rid myself of the bloat.
This is really annoying me, if I have got another crop handset off Sony I will definitely be going back to HTC phones.

Are you removing fast dormancy? For some carriers it's needed.
I think so. I have basically now gone down the route of stopping the phone cutting any process off for any reason. Still the issue persists though.

this is just a wild guess, but worth a shot.
try redownloading the stock rom, check md5 and be sure to make a clean install.
try download "FasterGPS" from playstore, to get the time from a ntp server near you, to avoid wrong time for the fix due to delay on a long travel from the ntp package

Haha. Same with me. 13W13! I think sony didt pay their worker salary on week 13. So we got a bad phone.

Have you guys ever connected your phone to Bluetooth device such as external speaker, hands free etc? I have this problem too, and it seems everything started when I connected my phone to my mini boombox (using Bluetooth). Somehow the problems gone, I don't know how. But I remember I've restore my nandroid backup several times, not because of this issue, but I've crashed my camera after trying Xperia z2 camera app and libraries.

I haven't connected anything of sorts to my phone, only the headphones that came in the box with the phone.
But I have been using headphones with the Z1 since last November, and the glitch started to show up since last week only.
And it seems there are a lot of users affected by this, saw a similar post on Sony's forums, which is already eight pages long.
