a couple of month ago I almost couldn't get a GPS signal indoors and often outside it took up to a minute. Now suddenly the GPS signal is instant.
What has happened? Has the US Millitary increased the signal quality of the GPS system?
It take slong if you're not using QuickGPS. Maybe your data was outdated that time when it took you so long. Also notice that you should not move too fast while getting the fix. Getting a fix while driving on the highway is almost impossible.
always get a fix with mine, even traveling at 70 mph.
I even managed to get a fix at 258km/h last december in Japan in Shinkansen to Hiroshima. I think I still have pictures of that.. It was an ordinary Qstarz BT GPS..
mine never worked indoors
maybe the people living upstairs removed their lead carpet?
when i;m using my gps a lot it connects very fast. but if i didn't use it for a while it takes a lot to make connection.
But like firefall! said quickgps works ver nice it helps you to make faster connection
WelL I don't get a fix @ say 100 km/h. WTF nevermind, invite me next time Anyway, maybe as a little explanation why QuickGPS is essential for obtaining a quick fix: As y'all may know, GPS works with those satellites circling around above us all. They turn 'round the world and send their time in a very precise format and depending on their position it takes a certain amount of time for the values to be sent to your phone. Thus, the phone will receive different times at one time because they were sent from different distances. From these differences it is possbile to calculate the current position between the satellites, but for that to be of any use it is essential to have a rough idea of where the satellites actually are - that is to say you need a kind of mapping table to associate your GPS data with a real location. This data is also sent by the satellites themselves - but this is not a HSDPA connection or something, but much slower. It can take a few minutes until all data is downloaded via satellite, and that's the amount it takes you to obtain a fix. QuickGPS downloads this data over the internet, which is way faster. So if you regularily download this data you do not have to receive it from the satellites -> You don't have to wait. And as you can see the data is valid for one week, though I think that this is nonsense. The data doesn't change once a week; it's changing all the time, but after a week your old data may be to 50% outdated or something. That means for me: Always download the data through QuickGPS if you get the opportunity. I'm having it downloaded when I connect my X1 to my PC so I don't need to worry
I have tried many solutions posted to similar issues in this forum and none are working...
I reflashed the radio
I updated the radio
I also changed roms
I updated google maps...
I installed google voice
I turned the GPS on and off
wiped data and cache
also restarted the phone...
tried indoors and outdoors...
Google maps gets my location fine, but just when I click on navigate it loads and on the bottom of the screen it says "searching for GPS..." and never finds it, the GPS satellite icon shows activity...GPS Test says GPS on...I do not see any other activity at all on the screen though....
this is weird...any ideas? anyone else getting this "error"?
Do you have a data plan or other network connection while trying to get a GPS fix? If you don't, then it can take a REALLY LONG time to get a fix since it won't be able to download the almanac (assisted gps).
Also, some LOCATIONS tend to be very bad for getting a GPS signal. Near tall buildings, for example. Even if you have good exposure to a lot of the sky, the signals can actually REFLECT OFF TALL BUILDINGS and screw up your timings.

Yes I do have a data plan. No I am not near ANY tall buildings - I am in a residential area. I used to get GPS fine here when I had my Nexus One and my HD2 ... but this phone is giving me a hard time....I wish I could get it fixed -I was planning on taking a trip tomorrow and it would be nice to have it working, anyways it should work, I dont see a reason why it should not work...
any other ideas?....
anyone else having this problem? .... please advise me....
If google doesn't know the coordinates of the cell tower you are connected to, it may be sending you incorrect almanac data, which will actually make it HARDER to connect (since the GPS will be making incorrect assumptions about the visible satellites).
Try disabling your data services and reboot the phone.
I had the same problem for like 3 weeks, prior to it, my screen was cracked and i had it replaced at a shop. I finally took the phone apart, and the little cable was not connected. If the phone's been opened since last the GPS worked, check that. If not, No idea bro.

I have tried all of the suggestions I could find and still have no good results...

I just checked my logCat and I noticed 4 errors all in a row with the tag "MobileNavigation"... the message says "Network Error! 3 : true". Any insight on that?
Thanks in advance...
so no one knows how to fix this
Did you try to turn off the A-GPS? It looks like your G1 try to connect to A-GPS but it can't connect.
did U find how to fix that cause I have kinda the same problem

My google nav app can t find gps but on the gps status i can fix on1-20 sats. the lock occures almost instantly, sometimes even whithout sats. When indoors (deep indoors) I get lock on 1-3 sats, near a window, at least 8-10 sats.
I d like to know if this is fixable, since I couldn t find another thread that treats this specific problem. I have LG E730 Optimus Sol Gingerbread.
I have the same issue with my HTC Amaze. Looks like there is a huge known problem with Google Maps. This is my second Amaze and both had the same problem. I have tried EVERYTHING. Looks like there is a known issue with Google Maps not using A-GPS correctly. I cannot turn off my A-GPS, so I'm pretty screwed, just waiting on ICS to come out.
I too have been having this issue for some time. This finally fixed the problem:

For my Glacier's Sense ROM, I installed DARKSIDE SENSE v4.0... of course I quickly reverted back to my preferred ROM immediately after completing the documented steps in the instructions. GPS works great... no more "Searching for GPS..." message.

I can't get to that link, can you PM it to me?
I finally found a semi-fix. In the A-GPS app, if you disable "filter GSP Speed" and disable filter strength, it has seemed to clear up the problem 90% of the time. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to aquire, but sometimes it only take a few seconds and one it get's a lock, it seems to always keep locked on, which is 1000% better than what I was getting prior to this fix.
Hello All,
I have been in battle with Verizon ever since I first got the service with my Thunderbolt. The internet would run for about 15 minutes and then drop connection even though everything said it had an internet connection. Verizon has had me change out the SIM card, reboot the phone, reset to factory, made sure that always on data was enabled. I have used multiple different tethering applications such as PDANet and EasyTether along with rooting my phone and installing wifi apps. (they don't know about the root). I have been through 4 thunderbolts, all had the same problem. Internet would run for about 15 minutes or less and then stop working. Verizon checked out the network and said everything was fine. I now have a LG Revolution and am having the same problems again. So I know its not a phone issue. I read on here that turning off voice privacy can possibly fix this problem. So I did. I pinged google and at 13 minutes into it started to fail. It would time out or if it did successfully ping the time it took was above 3000 ms. I have a 3G connection of -82dBm (4G currently turned off for trouble shooting purposes) and a 1x connection of -90dBm. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Verizon help is useless so im going to you guys who are much more knowledgeable than they are. I have also tried this on several different PCs. I have to reboot my phone to get the internet working properly again.
Sorry about the long post but its all information you guys need to know.
Thanks,
locohammerhead
Phone calls are like this on my phone. Its a call dropping fool. But, the signal doesn't cause it, it doesn't change. I think its the software myself. I've run log cat, and all i see is a message that says there was a signal change. I dobt know if its an instantaneous thing that i cant see happen, or if its a crock of shinto.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
but my problem isnt with calls being dropped. Its with my internet connection.
Right, but its still over the 3G network. People are having texting issues as well. I think its LG's radio software, is what im saying.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
i dont think it has to do with software because I had the same problem on four different thunderbolts. I also rooted it and tried multiple different roms and radios. So unless LG and HTC all use the same radios odds are thats not the problem.
Well, my Xoom runs fine on 3G,and it doesn't have a 4G radio yet. So I doubt it's Verizon.

I was thinking maybe there is something wrong with my account or sim card? The girl that set everything up originally was a complete and utter moron that did not know what what was doing.
temporary problems.
Earlier on when I got my phone I had intermittent connectivity issues, but toggling airplane mode on and off or a reboot usually fixed it...and for longer than 15 min, more like days. I'm in a 4G area now, but for about a month and a half only had 3G. Occasionally I still loose connectivity but both methods I just spoke of will fix it for the long term.
It seems very odd that it's not a widespread problem. It’s just so weird. I can stream several Netflix movies back to back without any breaks, even on 3G.
STOCK LG Revolution
Same Here
I run into this same problem while tethering whether on LTE or 3g. It runs great for a while, hours even, then all the sudden it will quit for anywhere from a minute to an hour or more. Sometimes a reboot will fix it. Interesting thing is I ran into the same problem with my old motorola droid. Make me lean towards this being an issue on verizon's end.
Does this occur when you are connected to wifi or only on 3G/1x? Have you tried testing in different locations with varying signal strengths?
Do you have the problem without root?
I'm wondering if this is an issue with your local network, meaning Verizon's network in your area. Since it happened on two different models and several phones, it would seem to indicate that it is an environment issue rather than a radio or other hardware problem.
I have a similar issue, but with text messages. I can send 3-5 text messages before it just chokes up. Then I have to reboot, or turn airplane mode on/off. Then I can send 3-5 text messages before it chokes again. I've done everything I can think of to isolate the problem, to no avail.
If anyone has a solution to his, please let me know. It's almost worse than not being able to make phone calls.
I also experience the Internet issue, but less frequently. It;s not my ROM, because I've used three different ROMs (including stock) and it was a problem on all of them. I saw on some other forum that it may be an issue generated by switching from a 3G phone to a 4G phone. If the VZW rep who setup your phone didn't do everything right, there's a "behind the scenes" setting that sometimes fails to get changed. The suggestion was to dial *611, describe the problem, and they should be able to fix it (though it may take 2-3 days).
I plan on trying this tomorrow, will let you know if I experience any changes. If anyone else has done this or wants to try it, post your results, and lets see if we can get this figured out.

Does not occur with wifi. Happens both at my house which has weak signal and also at my work about 20 miles away. At my work, the tower is practically in the parking lot.

This is almost certainly a VZW problem, whether they will acknowledge it or not is an open question. The only other things I can think of is a bad SIM card or incorrect programming of the SIM. The OP stated that Verizon swapped his out, so that leaves only the programming or the network.
Wish I had a better answer for you, bro.
My internet connection just started messing up with me today too. The internet will work fine with 4g and wifi but i get no internet connection with 3g only...
I have the exact same problem as the OP.
Really pisses me off. Want to throw vzw out the window and go back to a feature phone sometimes.
Vzw customer support is less than helpful. One will say your phones the problem, but why did I have the exact issue with my Incredible. Another will say its because I live in a fringe market area and we aren't really an important part of the network. WTF?
All I know is when I lived in Cincinnati everything worked fine. Moved up north and about 6 to 8 months later my service slowly starts sucking more and more to the point where I don't even bother looking up info on my Revo anymore.
I got my replacement LG Rev exactly one week ago to today. This one is all sorts of connection/rebooting issues.
Also unfortunately the update was already on my phone when I got, so no root for me
WiFI wont stay connected even if i'm 3ft from my router.
Phone will lose ALL signal and drop in to extend, and I'm only 1 mile from a strong 3g/4g tower.
Whenever i would pop it to airplane mode then back on, it would reboot.
I have 4 days before its been 1 month with this phone. I'm close to sending it back and getting the HTC TB or Droid 3.
In a test of patients I reset my phone to factory default, removed CWM and it updated to v6. I have to say the network connection was the most stable I have ever had it be but in turn the phone was not as smooth. Changing between screens had lag and was not as smooth as the original rom that shipped on the phone.
I have since down graded and re-rooted. The signal is not as stable either.
I was having same issue, especially with certain sites, including my own website for my business.
So far, what has fixed the issue, at least through Linux Network Settings, is setting the MTU to 1300. No other number has worked so great to date, but that seem to load everything and keep everything fast and quick with little issues.

EDIT: Upon further reading, I'm wondering if my reply was not quite on track. Is this problem on the phone itself, or via hotspot/tethering? It seems to be on the phone, so my reply might be way of course.
hi there
My wifi either sits searching or no network found it wont pick up any network
Its a stock rom never flashed only official upgrades
i have tried 3 hard rested and each time straight fter the rest it detects the wifi and connects to the network
but after entering my details and syncing mail and other accounts wifi will no longer work
its a bit weird
any ideas
thanks in advance

Hi there, I have the exact same situation, I tried everything, master resets, downgrades of spls and custom roms, and different radios. All didnt work. I asked the same question and no one replied, may mean there is no known solution. I also scoured the web for a whole week, reading almost everything about this issue and trying whatever was suggested to no avail. Now I am selling my HD7 with "the wifi and bluetooth doesnt work".
thanks for the reply and sorry to hear your phone is in the same boat as mine.
Mine seems to be getting worse, slowly affecting other functions of the phone. ive lost count of the hard resets i've done now. somethimes settings wont open, apps dont always open. got to pull the battery to shut the phone off as the screen dulls down if i leave it but it doesnt time off. and the power button sometimes works and sometimes don't.
think unless someone turns up with a magic nswer soon, i'll need to order new phone too. shame coz i really like the hd7
I am having the same problem. Wifi worked fine since I bought the phone on 11/2010, but stopped working last night. When I went to power the phone off, I had to remove the battery because it was stuck on the "Goodbye" screen (the first time this has happened).
Same problem, what can we do?

Exactly the same problem. I've flashed and reflashed, tried all radios from 5.51, 5.52, 5.69 to 5.71.
After a reset the wifi works once or twice then doesn't work anymore :crying:
Must be the module within the phone. I see the middle housing has two connectors for WiFi and GPS, perhaps the WiFi connector doesn't work but it looks like this little thing is only an antenna, not a module.
The part I meen is a "sticker" that's on the same piece of plastic as the kickstand.
Should i replace the entire inner part or would the antenna be enough?
Help: WiFi/Bluetooth Problem
Hi, I suggest you change the title to 'WiFi/Bluetooth Problem' as I also have the same problem. It does not detect either of the two WiFi protocols (WPA2 & WEP) as I tried both with my router (laptops and androids get them both perfect).
Bluetooth on the other hand, does not pair with ANY device. Brings 'Tap to pair' prompt', then the Error 'Not Supported'. I'm running Dynamics v2.0 - Newer WP7.8 custom ROM, but this was the same even with factory ROM.
So are there any developments regarding the problems here? I still got it, no Wi-Fi, no BT...
I have a problem with my WiFi too. everything was ok since I had my HD7 two years ago, and I started to flash many custom roms a year ago with no problems at all. but one month ago my WiFi stopped working without any obvious reason, my phone was connected to wifi and I put it on the table then I picked it up.... no WiFi at all and no internet sharing also. I can turn on or off the green switch of the wifi but only just for fun! and the Wifi icon which usually pops down from the top of my phone will never appear.
I tried to flash new or old roms, many many hard resets with no luck. Also opened my phone to check if there is a hardwear problem but seems not.
Now I'm using cellular for the internet untill I can buy a new phone and break this one.
Ik must be built in or so. Every flash I do, two reboots later, Wi-Fi breaks.
They just want us to get new phones :/
EDIT
I've also installed two different, brand new, SD-card (1 class 2 and 1 class 10) but this gives the same problem.
On a side note, the class 10 is way, way faster
/EDIT
Same here
The WiFi just stopped working out of the blue and nothing i've done has restarted it. It must be something with WP7 because now the wifi icon no longer appears and the Internet sharing option is blank.
First things first, I'm extremely savvy in Android / cell info.
As the title says, anytime I load up something that uses GPS, it turns on the GPS, and cycles the cellular radio. I've tried QPST, factory image flashing, radio flashing, reset AGPS, downloaded new AGPS. Tried every GPS Tools app there is. Calibrated GPS.
If I disable GPS, and only use Data for location, it does not do this.
I've noticed that the APN table gets corrupted sometimes. Doing a reset to default restores all APNs, but adding the APN manually does not activate Data (even though the info is correct).
If I set the Preferred Network Type to LTE Only, and run GPS Status, it will eventually lock GPS location, and keep data active (after cycling the radio off and on), but then after a few minutes, it goes back to LTE, GSM, CDMA preferred, and I'm back at square one. Also, going into Cellular Networks (in Android Settings), and forcing 3G without LTE does the same. My best result seems to be leaving it on 3G in this menus, going into the *#*#INFO#*#*, and then setting it to LTE Only. But again, eventually it reverts, and/or if GPS is turned off at any point, then the cycle has to be started again. This only works for like 15 minutes at a time, so this is not reliable.
Due to this, I can't use any Maps, or even run Speedtests, since it tries to get your location first, and then do the test.
Obviously Pokemon Go is fudged up.
I have spent the last 3 days and nights fighting with my phone, flashing ****, modifying, restoring... I am so frustrated I have actually begun to fling and throw my phone around (very very harshly).
Failing this, I will break it in half, but I can't do that until I have my Note 7...
Please help. I know it sounds crazy, because GPS should not affect the data connection, let alone the ENTIRE cellular radio.
I'm thinking of wiping the EFS partition, but the only backup I have of EFS is from after this whole ordeal started.
IMEI is intact, I can see it with *#06#.
It is worth noting, this all started by Maps locking up (or I suppose the GPS getting messed up and crashing Maps). After I reboot the phone, GPS and Data still worked, but my location was stuck at the same spot, even though I had driven miles and miles away.
Trying to be as thorough as possible to try and get whatever help I can get. Would any debug logs help anyone at all? If so, which.
Thanks in advance!!
Best thing I can recommend, is get on Google Maps, put in somewhere to go... Let it lock GPS. Then go use your app. The problem is only with turning ON the gps... once it's on, and doesn't turn off, you are good to go. Can even play pokemon go. Obviously your batter will be **** but meh... 22000 mAH battery pack.
i have been having the same problem all of a sudden, on almost every rom for the past like three days. I'm about to completely reset and wipe the phone

Well then were not doing something right. There's no reason for our phones to all of a sudden break themselves and no one else to also be doing this. I'll see if I can talk to some of the devs to see if there is any possibility as to something it could be
There's a thread in Q&A, but the short version is that it's a known issue affecting Nexus 6 almost exclusively on carriers worldwide. I haven't found any full workaround. Freezing Google Connectivity Services helps quite a bit, I got about 10 hours out of the data connection that way. But GPS eventually screws it up. Disabling location services is the best option for me right now, I need data more than location.
Google has acknowledged the issue, as has t-mobile. They claim to be working on it. No one knows how long that might take.

Lol dude calm down. This is the first I've heard it of it, so my bad, besides the fact that this is the kind of stuff were bound to run into with the stuff we do. I know other people who have nexus 6's that aren't having this issue at all. Therefore we keep texting and figure out what's going on ourselves. No reason to get upset over it lol

Think about how strange this legitimately is. All to a sudden, nexus 6 owners are having dropped data with GPS. Not just ones who've accepted an update, not just ones who have rooted and installed custom OS's, just those of us who own nexus 6s'. Its strange, but it makes me think that its a bug within one of their application, possibly connectivity services. I wonder if its all to a sudden appearing because they're editing code to get ready for android n

Nothing against you... I'm just flustered that I've spent countless hours trying to fix a problem that had nothing to do with me.
The legitimacy is real... But this was a hidden update pushed by Google. I initially thought it was me, then TMO. But its the phone/google/motorola. Just angry of all the time I've wasted.
Download GPS Locker, let it get a lock on. And just don't turn off GPS. The issue only happens when GPS is enabled/activated/awoken. Just leave it on 24/7 and that's all.

But if its a hidden update how is it effecting those of us who haven't updated a ROM or anything since before august. Is that when this started for you? Because come to think about it that's when mine started lol. I'm thinking its a system app update issue that they were getting ready for android n.
And I completely understand your frustration, I think most of us have been in this situation one too many times, except normally its our own fault lol
Well i just came here to find out / ask if this problem is only for me and some how happy to see i'm not alone.
i have this problem aprox. 2 - 3 days. First i thought this was a rom problem
---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------
i might have found a solution;
i disabled modify system settings permission of google connectivity services and also i activated xposed mobile radio active fix. Now i still have gps at high accuracy ( says sometimes gps signal not found ) but still have working data and GPS at the same time.
I don't know if this could help but I had the same problem, it happened after I updated connectivity service couple days ago so I uninstalled the updates and after I did that it didn't happened again cellular radio and GPS are back to normal.
Sorry for the bad grammar
I, too have had this problem for 4 days now. I just changed location accuracy to battery saving mode (no GPS) and when I access the application that always killed LTE it remained on. I'm hoping this setting works long term (i.e., for more than a few hours).
I am having a similar issue since the last 3-4 days. My stock T-Mobile Nexus 6 (never rooted or flashed any custom ROM or anything ever) is losing data connection for long periods. It started 3-4 days ago when I, coincidentally or not, installed UBER for the very first time. I really don't know if its a GPS issue or some other hardware issue or Android OS issue. I did a Factory Reset today and it appeared to be fine at first BUT then again the issue started, this time without UBER but when I installed the STARBUCKS application. So again , I am not sure what the issue is. But my cellular radio is losing connectivity like anything.

I fixed this by uninstalling Google connection service updates. And then also going into the settings and granting location permission. Let's see how long it works for!
The updated connection services did not have an option for permissions.
This worldwide issue seems to be fixed now.

Did you find any news about it? What was causing the problem etc etc
Running the DP5 beta and somewhat affected like everyone else, but unlike some folks here I have never needed to reboot my phone. I lose all connection few times a day but it takes roughly 10-20 seconds and LTE comes back alive. Guess I'm lucky.
