gps problem - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi im having problem with gps it freezes and sometimes it just looses track of where i am and thinks my car on another street.i tried google maps and tomtom both do that.I tried pure nexus and cataclysm rom and this happens also.

I'm having the same issue. Hopefully someone figures this problem out, and passes the solution to us.

Without a logcat of the issue there is almost no way to fix it. Many things can effect the gps. Some you can do something about and some you cant. Its not always the device/rom that has an issue.

GPS Problem SOLVED after 1 week of testing!!!

Hi bros!!!i think i might have solve the GPS no/slow fix problem!Its so simple!dun need to hard reset!just use advance config and disable gps logging!tats all!!!Good luck guys
what's GPS loggin? and could you explain your previous problem? i havent use the GPS to the max till now, just use it for finding adres in a big city with ''My location''
Sounds interresting.
That might be what creates those GPSlog text files present in the main windows directory right after you use the GPS once.
One is easily erasable (GPSlog back up) but the GPSlog itself requires a reboot to be deleted.
Didn't know it was possible to desactivate it. Anybody know the registry key to turn off? (then no need to use advance config just for this)

So your solution is to resolve, GPS Fix time? not GPS lag?
Think your thread title should have been more descriptive.

No I should apologise, just getting annoyed at the amount of threads with solutions to the GPS issues and none are really sorting the issue out. I have the opposite, I get a fix within milliseconds, just the lag is annoying
I'm pretty much convinced that graphics have nothing to do with the lag problem and that signal strength is irrelevent.
The one thing that I have noticed is that, when I come to a stop after driving the GPS software (IGO 8) tracks me to the correct position, it's just while moving there is a delay.
This also shows that the GPS chipset is accurate, unlike other people have been saying. Have also tried external BT receivers, which also produced the same lag.
So my opinion is that the Diamond (Rough Diamond ) is interperating the data incorrectly and I need some crazy hard core developer to fix it

Turn by Turn speech cuts off when using navi

This isn't a major issue, I guess, but it bugs me. When using the navi with google maps on my nook I'm having an issue where the woman's voice cuts off the last 1 or 2 words in her directions. For example, if I was going to be turning onto Beaumont Center Ln, her speech cuts off after Beaumont Center. I forget what else it was saying this morning but I think it cut off the last 2 words. Has anyone else had this happen or know a fix?
No I don't, but may I ask you how you're getting coordinates? Are you getting GPS from your Android phone?
It's not cutting off in my video here...

I use the TetherGPS app and provide the wifi and gps from my phone. Everything else works fine, I'm just not sure what's causing the glitch in speech.

Sweet. I see you are running the 2.1 rom, maybe it's rom thing. I am running one of the earlier cm7 nightlies, just because I have it working so good. Otherwise I would update to a newer one, I may try that this weekend.

[Q] HTC One GPS problem

Rooted HTC One (Sprint) - s-off
GPS problem - compass facing seems to add 45 degrees CW to whatever it should be. This causes a lot of problems with GPS. Tried resetting the compass with the 3 axis spin trick. Tried resetting gps using gps status and ##4772579#. No change. Downgraded Maps to original. Solves some problems but not all. Mainly the downgraded maps seems to respect directional travel as an indication of bearing.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas how to fix?
There are a few gps calibration apps in the playstore.. Whether they work or not is another story, but maybe try one out and see..

Tried many. Thinking maybe a hardware problem. I set it next to an HTC EVO and the numbers come up close to 45deg estimate off in every app. Weird and annoying.

[Q] GPS Unstable

Hi guys,
Really need some help or advice here with my HTC ONE GPS. For the use of external SD card, the One I have is a J one, the Japanese version of it.
It came with Android 4.1.2 I think, and I am pretty sure the GPS worked fine then. I had my camera replaced by the seller due to focus issues. The seller flashed my phone with a new ROM too trying to fix my camera.
That's when the issue started. My GPS app would lock the satellites fine and fast, but can only hold up for 10 seconds before losing every satellite. Then picks up the signal again, and losing it again in 10 seconds. And the problem stays on. I have tried a few different GPS apps, no luck there. GPS status shows the same thing, it loses everything in 10 seconds and then start over again.
I don't think it’s a hardware issue as it does lock and works for about 10 seconds.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
anyone
Anyone please help with the issue.

I also lost GPS functionality, but that was when I tried a 4.3 kernel/ROM by dirty unicorn. I even tried running the official RUU to get back to as stock as possible on the latest ROM, but that hasn't helped. Can see GPS sats but can't lock. I'm going to S-OFF and flash the original ROM and see if that helps. I'll let you know my findings. Have you found anything?
no clue if this is still a thing; but on the older htc devices there was a command you could run from the dialer in a sense rom to reset gps status.

can't get a GPS fix at all

Recently I've flashed CM 10.1.3 (stable version). Everything is pretty much great (except battery...it's draining pretty fast but I'm ok with that since I got a portable charger).
But the number one thing that is annoying me the most is that I can't get a gps fix no matter what. It doesn't matter whether I'm indoors or outdoors, or what app I'm using (waze, Google maps, etc.), or what "gps fixing" apps I installed. I just can't get a freaking gps lock anywhere!
Before I flashed this ROM, the gps didn't really work well but at least it worked...
I've searched the entire world wide web (obviously started from XDA) and found some interesting answers but none of them helped me even a bit.
Is this a known issue in cm 10.1.3 or is it just me?
thanks in advance
I recently have CM 10.1.3 on my 4X HD l don't have that issue... Try flash rom again.

Have you tried the fast gps fix in android general development?
Possible solution

I have no idea what thread you're talking about but I will take a second look, even though I didn't find anything in there.

This looks promising... I will report back if it worked for me or not, as soon as I get off work.
thank you to all of you guys for answering!!
Ok so I've tried modifying the gps.conf like deepmanu suggested, but still couldn't get a gps fix at all.
I know that LG screwed up with the gps in this device and that it is so sensitive that even if I replace the ROM
(I don't think that the CM team played with the gps files), it won't work at all.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? because right now the only solution that I'm think about is getting a nexus 5 or something =\

I managed to get my GPS working better by tweaking the gps.conf file, but nothing wonderful. If I am sat in my car I get almost no signal, yet my Nexus 7 is high-quality, 13 sats and almost instant lock. The GPS chip/receiver is crap in our device and that is why I will never buy an LG again. Apart from the GPS I love my phone, but that is too important a part for me.

How about changing your baseband to v10x?

Thought about it, but changing the baseband to a lower version means to compromise on lower quality phone calls and these kind of stuff.
And I'd rather have a terrible gps signal with great phone calls quality, than the other way around.

Maybe it's not the best chip, but still good enough. Samsung Galaxy S2-series phones all have a way worse receiver, I was barely getting any signal without network.
Problem with custom roms is that nearly all of them only include the very basic necessary configuration. See CM gps.conf and stock gps.conf (included in Omni), there's a big difference. I don't say this switch did wonders (it wasn't bad at all before too), but surely stabilizes signal.
Well, i try a lot of things, but, to play ingress is not working. How can i connect gps via Bluetooth?

You can't. To connect to an External GPS source is an immediate violation of the Ingress ToS and the app will refuse to launch. This is to assist, at least partly, in stopping players from spoofing their location to cheat.
So, you can connect to an external GPS source, but you can't play Ingress while doing so.

I know, I have the same problem with mine no matter what I do. I normally just end up using my N7 tethered instead.

The best thing I have found is to make sure you fully close the Ingress app (Sign out and clear it from memory) when you get to the new location, then restart it and see if it works - that sometimes seems to force the app to acquire a GPS location quicker. Other than that, buy a different phone - not ideal I know.
