After reboot several times it seems back to normal, I can get location less than 10 seconds! Thanks for your reply!

It happened to me again then i wiped the system and cache, back to stock recovery then reflashed OOS 0208 version. So far so good, hope it will work for you.

It seems that no matter what mods/roms I tried gps has been able to get and keep a lock while using maps or navigation. Am I the only one?

I have seriously wondered why this is,....even thought about making a post about it, but
In every rom I have ran so far I have never had an issue. I have consistently gotten 8-12 satellites and the first 8 lock within seconds. Since I got my new car mount I have been running the "GPS Test" application and just let it go while I drive. I even went as far as to get the Track Me app and traced my drive to and from work.
I only seem to see complaints about GPS but I have had nothing but a great experience. The worst performance I have had is with the "Cog 2.2 Beta1" and I still do not feel it was sub par performance.
I know this is the opposite of what you asked but I thought it might be informative. Could this be a sign that the problem is hardware and not software?
is it just me or it take a few mins to lock the satelite. My friend has an atrix and that thing lock satellite like in no time. I got so embarassed comparing, please advise. Thanks.
Actually I am surprised how quickly my IS locks on to sat. It takes just a few seconds.
My old phone (SE X10 Minipro) took ages / 10 - 60 seconds.

Try changing APN type to "default,mms,supl" then reboot. It's under wireless network settings.

I have the same issue with gps taking longer than normal to lock. Outside it works fine. Inside a building or home not so well. Gps worked better on my Nexus one inside and outside.

I upgraded from Hero to IS and the only thing that IS let me down is its GPS. Hero is much faster to acquire a lock and being stable afterward. But IS is very unstable in this regard. Sometime it takes only a few seconds while most other time at least 5 minutes. I'm talking about testing at the exactly same spot but different time.
Maybe try out scmasaru's suggestion later.
are you talking about GPS without WiFi network ? My IS can not catch GPS if no wifi is on.
But my previous N1 can easily catch GPS without any WiFi

WiFi/mobile data should assist GPS to lock faster but not necessary. My IS take ages to get a lock if only GPS is switched on. There's definitely something wrong here.

Help you with what? Buy an Atrix if you want faster indoor GPS.
The only time I need GPS is when I'm outdoors, so I don't see the issue unless you have a habit of waking up in strange buildings...
Just learned from another thread that the antenna of IS is attached to the battery case. So maybe all our GPS reception problem is caused by a loose connection?

I have already deleted a few of your post. You need to step back and chill for awhile. Keep the thread clean and on topic.
Ìs anybody else experiencing very poor GPS reception? Compared to my old HTC Desire, the reception and logging with Sportypal or MyTracks is waaayyyy off. Always! No spikes or something, but really just way off, 20 meters left/right. I have this issue both with stock ROM and Temasek's CM7. It really sucks, logging basically almost becomes unusable for running, because workouts need a lot of post adjustments.
I tried using a utility caled "GPS Test", to download latest GPS coördinates for Assisted GPS, but it actually doesn't make a difference.

You mean before you get a GPS lock at all? Or you mean you get a GPS fix quickly, but it's accurate only after 10-15 minutes?
I get a GPS fix pretty quickly, that's never the problem. Only the accuracy is the major problem.
I get a fix....it takes about 15 mins for accurate loc
Same here i get fix in few second, but way off on the map.

@dmxl,
Maybe you can try out this app called FasterFix featured in XDA:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/speed-up-your-gps-fix-with-fasterfix/
CM7 for the 2x comes with europe.pool.ntp.org as GPS server.
If you're not living in Europe your fix time should get better when you change to a server for your region with the FasterFix app (get it from the PlayStore).
In case this won't help either try the GPS Aid app which does tweak some more values - but I've never used it and don't know if it will help or not.

Ok tried with only 2G. Accuracy is even worse. Overall, with either 2G or 3G, it's só bad to such an extent, that it would be more accurate for me to just not use GPS, and draw the line myself in the browser with Sportypal or My Tracks and fill in the minutes of the total duration.
It's basically unusable compared to my old HTC Desire (which I sold, stupid me).
Man oh man, must be a pretty crappy GPS chip....

Same here, i've used Temasek's CM7 Kang for a loooooong time but switched to Owain's CM9 Kang a couple of weeks ago and ever since i've been getting faster and amazingly accurate fixes, even indoors.
Not sure if that's coincidence or a real improvement though.
I have a new Note 4 that i got on launch day and my compass goes crazy after a day after doing a battery pull. The battery pull fixes it, but not for long. Is there any way i can fix it or should i get a replacement? I hope this isnt a hardware issue... Any help? Thanks! It starts off fine. Then goes off by 120-180 degrees. Help.

Did you try turning the phone 360 to test the compass for all the directions, because mine works if i go south our west, but when i go north or east it goes crazy and jumps around and spins, it may be hardware issue, so I may replace it, please feel free to help or update on the problem for anybody other than me that has this.

Hmm that's interesting, because I too have noticed my compass acting a little strange. I was one of the people who received the Note 4 early via mail on the 13th so it's a device from the first 'litter.' I'm debating if I should trade it out for a new one....

Mine is working better now, maybe only 5-10 degrees off and no jitters, i would recommend turning off the phone, taking out the battery, putting the battery bacj in and restarting it, it seems the soft reset did it for me, some temp. Compass files may :laugh:have been messed up, just dont use gps status and toolbox unless its really messed up.
Cheers!
