gps problem (still...)

hello,

I posted this problem before but unfotunately still no fix.

I have a problem with the gps lock that takes the device at least 2 minutes to lock - sometimes even more,

i've noticed that once i'm turn on the gps the icon for searching, the signal in the notification bar wont show for the first minute - that means that the device have not start the search yet?

anyway, the problem remain in every update to the rom - I'm updating every release there is, of course i'm fully wiping the device (davlik, full format, EVERYTHING...) but the gps problem wont leave me.

sombody told me to download gps test app and to make "clear agps" - didnt work also.

this is the perfect rom and the only thing i have problem with that wont solve is the gps...

HELP!!

thank you.

Stupid question from me but did u clear app data for maps ?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gilad.pryzler:
nothing is stupid because i will try anything to solve this...

how do i clear app data for maps? and full fotmat of the device shouldnt clear everything?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gilad.pryzler:
still no good :(

i must say that the problem is not only in the "google maps" app - its in the device itself, no gps lock not related to the apps,

I also cant work with "waze" app, a public transportation app ext...

what else can i do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] markysd:
is it me or google now is not working right?

when i try to speak the mic picks it up and i can see the circle on the mic pic up my voice but it dont turn red and pick up what im saying...it works like 5% of the time... is it a bug or do i need to adjust something ?:confused:

over all loving this rom :good:

No luck for me...

I tried gps lock but this is an app that everytime you turn on the gps you need to start her to - and unfortunately didnt help also.

Any more ideas?

GPS has never been a problem for me. Task has said he uses GPS at work frequently. I would ODIN back to stock to make sure I didn't have a hardware problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sdlopez83:
You try location access/ gps source?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Geezer000:
Honestly I have had it couple times and all I had to do was toggle the GPS twice. When you turn on a app like GPS TEST does it show the gps signal as yellow or red?

Try:

Turn on GPS

Turn on GPS TEST

Turn off GPS

Turn off GPS TEST

Turn on GPS

Turn on GPS TEST.

Clear AGPS data in GPS TEST program

See if you get signal after 30sec.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gilad.pryzler:
Yes, i only have one choice - internal gps

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Ok, i will try it now.

I will have to do this everytime i will want to use gps? Or just one time?

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Geezer000:
Once everytime you flash new AOKP. At least for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] markysd:
google now still acting up after i reset data/cache :confused: but works better then before... kind of lags when i first speak.. not that i use it much..

Hey task I noticed since the 10.21.2012 release that when I play Temple Run the phone goes into a boot loop.

I already tried the obvious remedies like reinstalling app, wiping data and relflash and even full wipe.

Any ideas? Thx for the hard work dude
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Not really sure. Could be too many things to try and guess. From the app just not being updated to work with jellybean properly yet, kernel, voltages, ect...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eLDuRo212:
Could be your phone, I play Temple Run all the time with this ROM and I have zero problems, I am using Ktoonsez kernel and it is running flawlessly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nonnarb:
I too have this issue. I was previously on cm10 and had this issue with some builds as well. Flashed to this rom for the first time as per OP to 10/22 completely clean and everything possible was running fine and I really debated about updating since it was PERFECT. I wasn't experiencing the GPS issue on 10/22. I used the OTA updater for 10/26b and I'm now having this problem. I'm going to try a clean install and see if that fixes it (I just hate wiping stuff because then I spend about a half hour going through fixing all the system settings since people say to not restore system settings with Titanium Backup). The suggested fixes offered only work until a reboot and the GPS fix isn't as good as it should be.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
so you are basically breaking the rules of the thread. it states in the OP that if you have issues that you need to fully-wipe. especially before posting considering it does no good to try and troubleshoot until you know out a lot of the variables that a fully wipe could delete.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nonnarb:
I figured I'd update as I go along the process, sorry. Well, I did now do a full wipe and only downloaded two apps after wiping in order to test the issue (Maps and GPS Test) and I am still experiencing the issue. I'm going to full wipe again and go back to 10/22 and see what happens (yes, I realize at that point if it works, I can no longer contribute to this forum reporting issues as it would be an unsupported build).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I totally understand that. But there is no need to post updates on an issue when the directions aren't followed as they are stated in the OP. You could actually just go through your process without posting about it until you actually get to the point in your process of completing the OP's installation instructions. Then after you do that would be the appropriate time to post if the issue persists.

Flashing back to 10/22 release wouldn't actually help me troubleshoot the issue for you considering that nothing GPS wise has changed or differed in the current release and that one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nonnarb:
I can understand that then. Well, if I stay on 10/26b, I'm not sure I'd be able to offer any information that would be of help for troubleshooting because I'm not experienced enough yet with things like logcats and other error reporting yet. I realize the Q&A says, "bug reports here should contain a logcat or information that would help. saying this doesn't work or this is happening doesn't help us at all and at that point belongs in Q&A," but I figured what sometimes happens is like with the first 10/26 build where people were reporting issues and once it becomes prevalent enough, it's worth looking at. My mentality was that I'd add to what gilad.pryzler by saying I'm having the issue too, just like people did the other night with the first 10/26, and then maybe someone else having the issue would be able to offer more helpful information.

yes. but you need to understand that when people post "I have a problem" or "I have that problem too," without any other information it doesn't help at all. Not trying to shoot anyone down but it's just the reality of it. Without the proper information there is nothing to look at. Guessing or dreaming for hours on end isn't something I'm willing to waste my time on ya know. But I do understand where you're coming from. ;)

Odd... doesn't work for me. I have it checked off too in the ROM control so the Long Press would show Toggle...

The Long Press works if I'm just hiding it, then making it reappear by Long Pressing..but once I "auto hide" it's gone forever (have to reboot).

it's fine though, I won't be using that feature.

Same here, been happening to me for a while now. Rom runs flawless "Thanks Task" but when I flash an animation, AOKP OTA app continuilly force closes and a few other apps randomly too.

1.) Before you made this post did you follow the installation instructions in the OP?

2.) Why haven't you stated what you've already tried yourself to fix the issue. i.e clear data, reboot, ect..

3.) If you haven't seen anyone post about this issue since the release of this update its pretty much pointless to ask if anyone else is experiencing this. It also doesn't help this issue to get fixed or troubleshoot it.
