GPS suddenly stopped working? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hey there!
So a couple days ago I noticed Google Maps just not working at all on my phone. When I enter an address as a destination, it will show me the path I'm supposed to take, but then the blue arrow that shoes my location just doesn't move, regardless of whether or not I am moving.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling updates, tried different GPS services (Waze also didn't work), I've tried messing with the Location settings
Can anyone help?

Are you on stock ROM or custom ROM?
Try two things:
1) Download TopNTP from the Play store. Use default installation instructions. Reboot. Tell me if you get a GPS lock.
TopNTP
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.zatta.agps&hl=en

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I use GPS every day with CM 12.1, with Waze. But I use that TopNTP GPS helper...
2) Re-flash stock radio image via fastboot.

If neither of those help, and you are on a custom ROM, then
3) you may have to temporarily re-install stock ROM, get a GPS lock -- then re-install your custom ROM.
If you are on stock ROM already, then my only suggestions are #1 and #2.

Your first fix did the trick! Thank you!

[Q] Google Maps problem.

When I first got my Galaxy S I was so impressed with the google maps as a sat nav I stopped using my TomTom.
Now after trying various different firmwares (currently JPM) my google maps only works when I am connected to a wi-fi connection.
When I am out in my car I get a GPS lock and can see 11 satellites and lock onto between 8-10 satellites but when on the move my google maps looks like the image below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I do a search for some ware I get the screen below and it just keeps on searching and never finds a location I put in where as it did before I updated my firmware.
Below is a screen shot of GPS Status showing how many satellites I am seeing and locked onto.
Is there a way to get this working correctly again? I also have CoPilot installed and that works as it should but I still prefer google maps.
Thanks in advance.
Paul.
I see that u dont have data turn on. no data, no google map as it need to download the map.
Where does it show this and how do I turn it on?
Paul.
Am I the only one with this problem then! I have never had a 3G connection as I am on a pay as you go sim and it's never been enabled yet before updating my firmware google maps worked flawlessly.
Paul.
google maps does not store maps locally, it retrieves them as required. Hence, a data connection (either 3G or WIFI) is required. This has always been the case.
The app does store some map tiles in cache, thats why some of the tiles are still visible.

[Q] [CM10.1] Can't install Evernote, error -24, other crashing apps?

I'm trying out CM10.1 JB using Safestrap, and I'm having some problems, the worst of which is I can't install Evernote.
I was using the CM10.1 Targa, the 4-15 afternoon "nightly build", with latest GApps (the one dated 20130315)
It downloads the latest from Play Store, then gives an "error (-24)" in the notification, and the install aborts. Then the notification went away and there's no evidence of I ever tried to install it.
I've seen similar messages from some of the apps I ran fine on 4.0 ICS (official) like SeeCPU but I can live without those. But I need Evernote. (the website ain't the same)
I've also have problems with Play Books and Drive / Docs, and Play Music. I've reset data on those three apps but they refuse to work (and also ate up my battery life). So right now they are uninstalled. Play store initially crashed but after a data reset worked fine.
What is error -24?

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's a screenshot of the error.
I've since noticed that Pulse (the news reader) won't install either, same error.
ROM Manager just quits immediately after run
Same thing happened with the 0420 build.
I got the Play Music problem resolved by uninstalling the app then going into Play Store to install it from scratch. There's some old settings cached that's cuasing problems. Not even clear data will solve this. had to be full uninstall / install.
Google Books got the same -24 install problem.
A full factory reset and wipe / reinstall made the problem go away. So at least now someone knows what NOT to do.

Help me fix the GPS problem

My Chinese car head-unit is no longer able to get GPS signal. I have tries all the available maps application and it doesn't work! I also tried a lot of GPS Fix type tools/apps, nothing worked.
At the top of the toolbar it shows the location icon but somehow the location just doesn't work.

Hey did you find a fix for this I have the exact same issue dm me if you did please
Had the same problem in mine. It first started as an intermittent problem, where I'd loose the fix randomly while driving. Later the problem became permanent.
It turned out the SMA socket for the GPS antenna inside the unit was not soldered properly. Once I replaced it the GPS worked perfectly.
Another not an MTCB or MTCD unit
Check the technical part, antenna, and all wires. If everything is in order, follow the advice indicated above, install the old version of the application and prevent its updates.

Question Unable to download/install most apps, unable to manage data on phone

Galaxy S21 Ultra5G, latest Ketan ROM, OneUI 5.0, android 13, had this issue on previous versions as well though.
Hey everyone, here are the symptoms
1) Can't place any files in any folders when phone open on windows, I'm able only to place files in the root here, everything else is not accessible
2) Some installs from the play store work (VLC as an example) but others fail every time
3) All downloads in Chrome (on phone) fail
4) Theres a suggestion of being able to change downloads location but I can't actually do anything

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Im rooted, running the newest ROM from Ketan. I have TWRP recovery, everything works fine except somehow I can't access downloads.
This persisted through ROM upgrade or maybe even got worse, I'm not sure, I think in the past I was able to place files in folders but not anymore.
Once I get apks in the root directory I can then find and install them with the Samsung file manager finding new .apks
So this is really frustrating, not being able to place any data on the phone. I've got not idea why either, does anyone have any idea why these symptoms would be presenting themselves?
As for 2, clean play store and play services data

This didn't help unfortunately.
Another thing to note is that when trying to create a new folder on my PC in any of the folders on the internal storage I get an error "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". The device seems to be working fine and it has not been disconnected.

Bluetooth often exists due to an exception. It is suggested to uninstall it. Continue anyways?

I started to get this error message after flashing the boot partition. All connections stopped working. I reflashed with original boot partition, which results in wifi working again, but bluetooth is dtill refusing to work. Do I factory reset? I have a file that is important but wont come off because it keeps freezing during transfer process
Search for 'Reset options' and reset wifi/mobile/bluetooth, see if that does the trick.

I've also done that. The phone I tried to root is a Z3551S (came from QLink Wireless, running android 9 and has a ****ton of bloat), which doesn't have ramdisk, or a separate VBMeta partition. Also, the images are from some other source. And when I flashed with the rooted partition, Magisk showed the phone was rooted, and I could view files I couldn't view before, but I couldn't uninstall apps with another root application, so I don't think it was fully rooted. I'm also beginning to think that I may need to flash all of the files, because they might not be the same.
uninstall bluetooth

Can't do that either. I tried before flashing the before-modified boot image, but I don't think the phone was properly rooted
Here is the message that I get. Clicking `ok` just takes me to settings

An update: the wifi DOES NOT turn on, and SDCards are not being mounted either. Ima try flashing the boot.img to boot instead of boot_verified.img to boot
