Hey everyone,
I've been using Dutty's ROM for about a week now and haven't had any problems with it, or my GPS with 3rd party apps until the last couple days. I can't seem to get the to start up or something. I've tried running the GPS Test from System Tools, tried updating with Quick GPS, and messing with the Kaiser Tweak settings and Advanced Configuration settings, and nothing seems to work. I can't seem to get my GPS to connect at all. I've also tried soft resets and that hasn't worked. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edit: When running the "GPS Test" Program, it basically gets stuck at "GPS Starting Up"
Ok I think I've found the solution. Apparently occasionally the signal will go out on the GPS hardware. In order to re-initiate the GPS hardware successfully, you have to do a soft reset OUTSIDE. For some reason when trying to reactivate it inside, it fails and wont get a connection (at least where I am, and I typically have 3G or HSDPA connection). When doing this outside, the connection will pick up and everything appears to be fixed! Moderators: This can be helpful info to everyone, but I guess it can be closed.
Edit: Oddly enough, when I went back inside where I couldn't get it to initialize before, it still stayed connected, so for some odd reason, it just wouldn't initiate inside.
Thanks for the tip. I've been having problems with my GPS as well. I'll try it tonight.
Hi,For some odd reason my quick GPS does not work anymore. My TomTom is non functional as well. I have checked my data connection and it is active. Can somebody help please.
Thanks in advance.
Mine has stopped working as well. It says its expired, and when I click to download, it says "Connection Failed. Please try again later". My connection is good, and I cant figure out what is wrong. My GPS will not pick up any signal, and nothing that uses GPS works now.
Can somebody please assist?

Quick GPS not updating/downloading
I'm having the same problem, last time I downloaded the Quick GPS update was 1/20/09, now it will not update, and I cannot get a GPS fix in google Maps, however using the program GPS Test, it does register the GPS Satelites. Please help. (Yes, I have looked in probably 20 other threads, for my phone Raphael/Fuze and others, and was not able to find a solution)

Indeed there are alot of threads, without any solutions.
Although i have applied all solutions because i had this problem twice.
(Without anything that i had applied before it occured.)
I tried downloading the GPS data through QuickGPS last night, and I can confirm that it does not work. I got the same error: "Connection Failed. Please try again later." I had it synced through Activesync. Not sure what's going on. Hopefully, someone can throw some light on this.
Quick GPS works so me. I just downloaded 5 minutes ago.
still nothing for me, says Connecting... and then i get connection failed, everything else on the phone works fine, internet, weather updates etc.
Here's what I can offer you
Had the same problem once when I was testing roms. Soft reset and once phone comes up wait about 2 minutes for the phone to get its balls and recieve all of its texts and emails and what ever it has to do. Then open internet explorer. Leave it open and try quick gps. If this does not work hard reset. I noticed that if I just tried to access quick gps my network status bars would only show phone connection not data, but If I waited and ran internet browser first it would trick it into working. Once I flashed a different rom problem dissappeared.
I had the same problem, it took me a solid day to figure it out. QuickGPS would never connect no matter the circumstances and TT7 and other apps would say the GPS device was not found.
I figured out that I had installed a VoIP application that had somehow completely turned the GPS off. After going through many posts about it on the forums, looking for files that weren't there, etc. I had to hard-reset the device to get GPS back.
For what it's worth.
Found the solution for ATT Fuze user
First, check if you have a internet connection using IE (important to use IE, Opera connects doesn't mean IE can connect)
If you cannot connect (and you are a Fuze user), run "Disable Proxy", and soft reset.
Now you should have a connection using IE, and you can update QuickGPS or SeaSGee.
so heres my update,I was unable to do anything with "Disable proxy" because like everything else you do a search and get so many posts you can never find anything. But that led me to believe there may be a problem with my connections and their settings as I learned that I was unable to connect to the internet on IE but was able to in Opera. So I went into - All settings, Connections, advanced tab, select network button and there are two dropdowns there, one about connecting to the internet and one about connecting to private networks so on the first one i selected AT&T ISP (which was already selected) and for the second one I changed it fromo AT&T ISP to "My Work Network", and that let me connect to the net on IE and download the Quick GPS updates when I am on WI-FI only, but not when connected soely to AT&T GPRS.
The AT&T ISP setting does not have any Proxy settings selected, is it supposed to?
and the My Work network also does not have any Proxy Settings.
I'd like for this phone to work right, seamlessly, like umm the iphone which I'm thinking I should have got even though I am NOT a fan of Apple and their software(it always seems to work right for the most part though).
i have the same problem. my gps has completly stopped working. my quickgps updates fine though. when i use garmin, it won't find a signal. it just sits there
i changed my baud rate from 4800 to 9600 to get mine working recently, I may have inadvertently changed it to 4800 2 weeks ago when I was trying to fix the GPS problems after looking through like 50 threads on here.
also check to make sure in Settings > Phone > Local Setting > Get Settings that the location is set to LOCATION ON.
I have Navngo Igo8 on my fuze and it kept loosing the signal. I read on one of the gps forums (gpsunderground)that I needed to turn off the Agps on the device and that did it. My quick GPS also works well. I download updates every few days. Not sure exactly what that does but I read that it downloads latest GPS data.
Whenever I use the navigation feature in Maps, it gets stuck on "Searching for GPS." I've left it like that overnight and nothing happened. The entire time, the GPS icon in the notification bar is blinking. I've downloaded the GPS Status app and it can't seem to be able to find my location either.
I've tried wiping everything, installing different roms, reinstalling the radio but nothing seems to be able to fix the problem. Navigation worked fine before. This problem just popped up out of nowhere. I've tried it when I'm outside, in different cities, but that hasn't helped. I unlocked my phone so I'm a bit concerned about having to send it into HTC.
Anyone else have the same problem or have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i'm having the same problem, N1 CM7.0.3 ROM
I've wiped the cache and data on the Maps APP, still having the same problem.
Any help
I sometimes get this issue
I fix it by turning off the GPS, waiting till the GPS icon disappears from the notification bar, then turn on the GPS again. and it gets a GPS lock right away.
one method which helps me to troubleshoot GPS in N1 is to install the free apps GPS status. under sub-menus tools, manage A-GPS state, there is the option to reset GPS data (essentially a reboot of GPS w/o powering off the phone). often when i completed that procedure, and downloaded new GPS assistance data (via wifi, should take no time), GPS lock-on could be achieved within a minute provided i'm outdoor or near window. if GPS lock-on can be achieved with GPS status, then, in theory, the same can be achieved in google map or in car mode. if google map still can lock on to the GPS signals, then i may get another google apps package and flash it into the phone again.
i do come across some custom roms in which GPS function has become crippled, but CM7.0.3 is NOT one of them.
I did a clean install of pure nexus 7.0, after wiping. Everything works fine except for the phone app. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled and it comes up but when I hit activate it just comes up and split second later stops. Maybe the wipe didn't work well since I still have all my settings intact from PN6 to PN7.0? I can receive calls fine and can use the messenger app to make calls so the phone works. It just seems to be the app. I installed another phone app and it works fine so maybe I'll just get over it =/.
using another phone app and it's actually better than the stock app. Much more user friendly. But now I'm noticing wifi is really slow to connect. I noticed it at work and now at home. It seems to scan a while to find all networks then when I pick mine it doesn't react. Later I went back to my phone and noticed it finally connected. Maybe there is some radio issue?
used this instruction from another person having an issue. It worked woo hoo. Hopefully this can help someone on this forum too
It's unfortunate that you are experiencing connectivity issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your Nexus 6P running Android Nougat. In addition to what you have tried to troubleshoot the issue, I'd suggest you try resetting the network settings and see if that helps. To do so: Open Settings > Backup & reset > Touch Network settings reset > Tap Reset Settings. (Please note that this will reset Wi-Fi, Cellular data and Bluetooth settings which means you will have to input your Wi-Fi credentials again.)
All of a sudden my GPS has stopped working. I've restarted the phone I've shut down the apps that use GPS. I've revoked permission to use GPS and given it back. No mapping app will work
What should I try next?

Factory reset or flashing factory images if bootloader is unlocked.
I've had this happen after flying back and fourth from different states. After each flight, I found that location would just not work in any app, and assumed I was still back at the previous airport. Upon Opening Google Maps, it informed me that I had to enable WiFi Scanning (Which I keep off because its super annoying while driving and kills battery). Once I did that, GPS worked properly again, and then I immediately disabled WiFi scanning again. Perhaps try toggling WiFi scanning (or re-enabling it if you have it disabled).
I have the same issue as well. Not sure why is it pointing to the previous location?
Any one else facing the same issue?
Started working for me also after turning wifi and bluetooth scanning back on. I also cleared cache on google maps and waze and rebooted. So something in there got it working again
