I've got the same problem...GPS fixing apps can help to get a signal faster, but the accurancy is horrible (~15m).

there's literally more fixes than there are users..
search fast gps fix in general search and pick your choice

Solution
Basically, Lg screwed big with the gps.conf file in /system folder.
It has so many setting, servers, and options in it, that the phone takes forever to follow the instructions and get a fix.
So i've read a lot of threads in xda and other sources i can't remender now.
Basically this is what you need to have in your gps.conf
NTP_SERVER=pt.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7278
SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425

With this gps.conf i'm good to fix sats in my country (Portugal) and in the rest of Europe in about 20 secs from cold. If i reconnect after, i get the fix in under 10 secs.
So, you just need to replace pt.pool.ntp.org with another value suitable for your country. You can find it here.
Of course, if you are in other continent, you must change 0.europe.pool.ntp.org for the value that suits you.
There you go. Just remember to hit the thanks button if i helped you.

I fixed the problem with gps status test and fix apk. you can download it from google play, after reset gps you will see the difference

I forgot to say. GPS accuracy is now between 4 and 5 meters. Way better than the previous 14 to 16 mts.

This fixed it for me on LG P880 Optimus HD with Vanir ROM
Locks instantly within 5s with ~10 satelites
Can't find the "thank you" button... but thanks anyway

- EDIT -
rollback to CM10 stable and gps work fine

For those whose GPS is fixed, can your phone lock any Glonass satellite?
If so, which ROM are you using ?

Post #6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49275053&postcount=6) actually did it for me. I'm on official CM11 nightlies and
the gps.conf helps a lot. I usually get a fix within 30 seconds with 6 to 8 satellites.

GPS fix for nova v3 and v3.1

1.Enter the "hidden menu" (3845#*970#) -> GPS Test -> System settings -> MOLR Protocol and be sure "User plane" is checked.
2.Now go to SULP Settings (be sure the SLP Auto Provision is enebled)
3.Click SLP Server Setting, select server "OPEN(Google)", click the menu button on touch pad and then click "Edit"
4.Modify the "slp address" to: supl.nokia.com (do not activate TLS setting and leav certification file blank)
5.Click on the menu button from touch pad and "SAVE"
6.Open Google Maps, Igo or whatever do you use for gps, wait until it locates you! (may be slow for first time but after that it will locate you in matter of seconds)
I hope this one works for you guys as it works for me, I really get location very fast, like on stock ROM or nova 1.7.31!
Well, but according to my knowlege this has influence on A-GPS only. Nothing common with sat GPS.

Correct.
Either way, I already changed the supl to Nokia server in the upcoming Nova.
I tested it today with cold lock (sat GPS) and worked fine (app: google maps and GPS timer - 4 sats) and with A-GPS (where Nokia servers might indeed be faster than Google) also worked fine.
can i use this setting here in philippines?
i don't use A-gps
i use directly from sattelite for offline navigation
With Nokia server i got 6 sattelites locked,with Sony Ericsson server i've got about 12,14... (supl.sonyericsson.com)
The real big improvement would be if it was possible to improve the gps tracking once fixed... or without a-gps info.

That doesn't make the point mgregor, he means the SE server not a SE device.
Also I can confirm this, I've got 9-11 server with SE, 4-5 with Nokia.

dunno, depends on your location too
After editing OPEN(Google) with supl.nokia.com i`ve returned to stock supl.google.com and now everything runs very acurate and fast...
But I have noticed that if I have data disabled, it locates me much more slower.

Official ICS User thread/Bug thread

Edit: MOD - close this thread. There's no point of this thread if people are going to start a sh*tload of threads anyway.
To start -
it is definietly faster than GB.
But there are some missteps
1. Camera does not have manual/touch focus anymore. There is just Automatic and Face tracking.
2. Moving cursor gesture (double tap on side) is not present there. It is insanely stupid move on LG part to remove by far the most useful gesture.

Agreed, if you compare stock ROMs. For example, Gueste Good-Bye and DM are definitely zippier than this, so I am hoping for some good custom stock-based ROMs to improve on performance. Bottom line is that for me the current ICS release is very usable as a daily driver.

I am not having any problems with the stock ICS ROM, in fact every of the above mentioned features work for me. You can actually change the focus yourself while you are using Auto focus mode, the camera app also comes with possibilitiess to adjust the ISO value and white balancing. Wi-Fi works for me good as well, i am not having any problems and i must say the battery life of the O2X has been increased a lot with this update.

I am able to change the notification sound, just go to Settings --> Sounds either Volumes to adjust the actual volume of the notification sound or scroll down to Notification sound, you can choose between the same sounds LG provided on GB (a pity)

Does your phone goes into deep sleep or does it just lock itself? Weirdly enough I am not experiencing any problems. I know that the update is not available yet in The Netherlands, so how did you flash this ROM?

Strange GPS behavior +"authorization error"

Dear all, my cappy does the following: I see that it tries to establish a GPS lock, then it stops and displays "authorization error" in a pop-up.
Has this been covered before?
I guess I figured that an app is trying to get my location, but does not have the permission. Is that it? If so how can I find out which app is causing the ruckus?
Thanks

need more info
which rom are you running?
which apps are you using to access gps?
do you have locations services and gps enabled in settings?
do you have a data plan with your carrier or are you relying on wlan for data access?
supl and ntp servers settings? if these gps terms don't mean anything to you, then you could search 'GPS fix' and 'h3llstorm fix' in captivate forums and read the threads. there's everything there that you need to know to get consistent gps locks.
if you still need help after reading the threads, then post the text from the file etc/gps.conf to this thread.if you choose to post it, then please also give your country location.
Um sorry for the shoddy OP. Replies inside the quote

CM10.1 Nightly 130402 - all stock
(the same issue was on my previous install ,which was a nightly from about a week ago)
which apps are you using to access gps?
This behavior happens when I am not actively trying to get to GPS. I have Maps/Navi/tracks .. and of course Facebook gets my location ... but this behavior happens when I am not in those apps. I suspect fliboard or feedly, but I do not really have any evidence.
I cannot figure out how to find which apps are trying to get to GPS and with what success.
do you have locations services and gps enabled in settings?
Yes I do. It did not have issues until about a week ago. I did install a bunch new apps, so I am suspecting them.
do you have a data plan with your carrier or are you relying on wlan for data access?
I have a data plan - T-mo
supl and ntp servers settings? if these gps terms don't mean anything to you, then you could search 'GPS fix' and 'h3llstorm fix' in captivate forums and read the threads. there's everything there that you need to know to get consistent gps locks.

How to assign the Home button to turn on / off the screen?

Sorry if I ask a question wrong. Do not know much English. Searched the internet, found no answer. On my device LG 4X HD firmware CM10.2 does not provide a function awakening using the volume buttons. Buttons mechanical, as all devices, but if the other devices that I have used and use, this function can be on/off settings, LG is generally not provided! I don't understand what the reason. I tried and tried to change the files in the folder keylayout, and set the program to unlock shaking, with a proximity sensor, light sensor and so on, which are 2 minutes after switching off. Nothing happens, it is logical to assume that the device goes to sleep and shuts down everything. Although the programs I've set these permissions present phrase - not to give sleep to the device. How can assign a revival on the keys of the volume that rule?

Maybe someone has a solution? Put please keylayout folder on a replacement. Maybe except that folder should be something else in the system to rule. ROM CM 10.2. Save advance.

Prolems With Whatsapp on my P7-L10

Hello everyone!
For the last two month I've been a happy Ascend P7-L10 owner (except for the music player, but that's another story). I just faced a little problem recently when my girlfriend left for China (compulsory semester in a foreign school), as we now only use whatsapp to talk. My problem is that I receive my whatsapp with, sometimes, a 30 mins delay. As there is a 6 hours gap between Bejing and Brussel (where I live) I can't/don't want to miss any of her whatsapp, I've thus switched back to my old iPhone 4 which works perfectly fine for Whatsapp.
Long story short, I would like to know if there is something I got wrong in the configuration which can cause such a delay. Has any one of you faced the same problem and solved it? I would LOVE to go back to my Ascend device.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning but I'm on stock ROM, which I rooted (if that makes any differences).
thanks a lot for your help!
