GPS aGps location fix issue

hi guys,
need your help on this before i get mad and throw my gnex out of the window.
im experiencing great problems with gps fix on any offline gps navigator like copilot or sygic. The gps fix is hard to get and even when it works its really wiggly m it goes on and off continuously and soetimes it puts me kms away from where i really am. Annoying.
Im on aokp build 36 / franco kernel and already tried the gps fix (i used faster gps) setting the server to europe/italy but no luck so far.
Does the agps activate automatically with gps? how do u turn on barometer?
is there anyone who can spare an advice on this? maybe updating radio?
thanks in advance!
Try using an app like gps status to download agps data before you go offline? I guessing you can't get a GPS fix because you have no data connection...

Problems with weather widget and detecting location since update?

I have not had much success in getting replies from folks in the thread regarding the latest update from T-Mobile so thought I would post it here.
Ever since the 4.1.2 OTA update from T-Mobile, the weather widget no longer is able to detect my location and get updates on it. I can manually set my location, and that will update, but if I try to add a location and click the "Detect" button, it hangs for a moment trying to update then simply quits, without detecting my location.
Someone suggested I delete data from the weather widget app in settings, which I have and still the same problem exists. Anyone else have this issue?

Have you had any other issues with any other apps that use the GPS?
The most I can advise is a Factory Reset otherwise. Unless anyone else has any better ideas regarding this issue.
Look in the GPS fix thread stickied here. It may have a few things to try.
Do any other gps utilities work?

I should have mentioned this, but I have no problems with location settings in any other app, whether it be using 4g connection, wifi, or GPS. But to my original question, are you guys not experiencing this problem? I simply want anyone else to confirm that with the new update, their weather widget detects their location without issue...?
I am not experiencing this issue, with any weather widget/app, nor with any other GPS dependent app. Granted a week after I updated my phone I bought Nova Launcher and switched to using the Weather Channel instead of Accuweather, and since then I rooted my phone, but I still do not experience the issues you are having.
Check the GPS Sticky Thread, it may help you.
Sorry to dig up a old thread, but this problem was resolved with the latest OTA update.
after updating to stock 4.3 rooted ...first i had same problem...
bt now fixed..
i flashed again...clear cache...thn reboot phn ...and everything back to ok...... :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:

[Q] GPS

In the OGP the only way maps will locate you is with the GPS and not the WiFi, I have worked settlings but unless the GPS is on and locked nothing in Maps will work from your location aspect?
Nope

Nope, I think it's the problem of your rom. Try another rom. I have experienced this once and had the same thought until I flashed another rom then I could locate easily with only internet connected
I have not unlocked it or installed a new ROM,I noticed it out of the box.Was concerned if I had defective unit

I have the same problem... I just switched from the iPhone 4s to the LGOGP and the GPS is wacked out of the box. Not sure what to do about it... I just rooted and was going to flash a different rom to see if that works... if anyone had the same issue and knows a fix, let us know.
Same issue with mine.

So, you guys are saying that you can't get a lock without the GPS on?
Personally, I always leave the GPS on. I haven't had any issues getting a lock.

GPS Signal Lost Issue

My HTC 10 keeps losing its GPS Signal when I use Google Maps. To get the signal back on, I've to restart the phone. Is anyone else facing this issue? Or did I receive a faulty device?
Same issue in France
Hi,
I have the same problem using Waze in France.
Entering some areas (near Paris for example), I loose the gps signal.
The solution (to avoid loosing time and getting lost) is to activate the plane mode and disable the gps, then enable again the gps and remove plane mode.
I don't know if this is a result of one of the last OTa update or the device itself...
Same here. Hope this gets fixed by software update.
