When will Verizon have a fix for the LG G2 GPS Problems?

I am on my 3rd LG G2 and all of them have had the same GPS problem. No one can help me, went to a Verizon store and they advised that I would have to speak with Verizon on the phone. but I did after 2 replacement phones have been sent out to me. I went back to the store and they advised that Verizon is suppose to send me a different model or what ever the upgrade to that phone is. Where is the disconnect? I just need a Phone that works! Now I sent my phone off to LG this is crazy. I have not had to phone a year and I travel for business 2 to 3 times a week and need my phones GPS to work. Please Help

I read the entire thread, and you didn't mention that you had done all these things. Please understand, at least I'm trying to help you. I understand you are frustrated. I'm an end user like you.
I've had a few Android phones over the years, and if this is the behavior even after you've done what I've suggested, then it seems as though you have a HW problem. The GPS in my LG G2 works very very very well, so it seems like you got another bad one. From your post, you imply this is something you've also experienced on 2 other LG G2s. Wow - that's horrible.
It's appropriate to take it up with LG then.

No satellite signal status

hi
i have a problem wirh my n97 mini, when i use the GPS data there is no satellite signal status appear in the options, while it appear on the screen " Waiting for GPS" and if i try to exit the program it freeze and stop responding until i restart the mobile
plz help

" would suggest that you take it back to the Nokia Care centre that repaired your phone and ask them to try and locate/fix the problem. As you dropped the phone you will probably have to pay to have it fixed."
I also second it, much better to take it to Nokia care centre and get it repaired/fixed.

Firmware 2.1 update causes GPS problems (Confirmed)

I bought 2 iphone 3g's, one for me and one for the wife. We both use the GPS alot and was happy with the performance. When ver. 2.1 became available we upgraded immediately and did not pay much attention to GPS performance, we were looking at battery life and 3G signal strength. I soon began to notice the GPS was not as solid as before and compared with the wife's and saw that her's was about the same so I left it alone. Then I noticed my wife's GPS was having big tracking problems while comparing with mine right next to it. So I did a restore on her's without restoring from backup. In essence her's had only ver. 2.1 on it. This did not help and was becoming very frustrated so I went to my Apple store and explained the issue and they decided to give her a new phone. The new phone had ver. 2.02 and I decided to try it without updating to 2.1. LET ME TELL YOU, the GPS is now solid and super accurate, side by side with my phone with 2.1 there is no comparison. After playing around with both phones for a day THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT 2.1 WAS THE CAUSE. I headed back to the store and explained the whole story to them and they swapped mine in order to get a phone with 2.02 (which I did). My phone is now holding a solid signal and VERY accurate all the time. Side by side comparison shows absolutely no difference in position now. Spot on every time.
I know this is a long winded post, but the proof is in the firmware update. We will not update to 2.1 and will pray that 2.2 fixes this.
Thanks,
John

Hey Florida...
Just for grins, try switching off WiFi.
I've noticed that having wifi on slows the acquisition of a blue-dot, sometimes for really long periods of time.
But for me, switching off wifi causes the phone to go immediately to a blue dot, and GpsCompass (app store free app) shows 25 foot accuracy.
I theorize that if you are within range of wifi that is giving inaccurate hints as to location it confuses the GPS chipset, and delays a true fix. My tests suggest that even a wifi access point that you are NOT using can feed inaccurate hints to your phone.
You could of course register your wifi with Skyhook.com but that sort of buts a bandaid over the problem rather than a fix.

N97 GPS problem!

There has been already some discussion about GPS but I want to start new one topic-
I would like to know is there any N97 or anybody which N97 GPS is working fine without any problems?
Today I made my first real navigation trip and I saw that my N97 with newest maps and phone sw was useless.
GPS signal is going to lost very often and my position arrow is coming too late for corners and turns. Also speed shows very often 0km/h and sometimes it goes totally grazy when poistion is lost and it's starting to calculate route again and again and it never ends without starting whole navigation from the beginning.
Well when I was returning back to my home today i decided to use my Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS receiver and when I used that and also phone's A-GPS then MAPS worked very well. None of problems.....
I truly hope that this GPS problem exists on every released N97 at this time because then it would be most propably SW related problem, not HW problem. Of course it can be also HW problem but I do not belive that.
Also some other Nokia phone models have had almost similar problems (with early sw versions) but those has been fixed by phone sw later on. But I must to admit that not so bad that I faced with N97 today.....

I believe it is a hardware problem. I use GPS Data all the time and it never fails that my N95-3 and E71-2 both get a good GPS signal that doesn't fluctuate constantly or randomly go in and out. It doesn't matter what application I'm in either, whether that be Google Maps, or Nokia Maps. The N97 has a diffiicult time finding and keeping hold of a GPS signal. Both of my N97's (first and second) are exactly the same.
The antenna is the problem. There is no doubt in my mind. All the software in the world can't make up for an antenna that can't keep a signal. It can mask the problem to a certain extent, which supposedly Nokia Maps 3.1 does, but it doesn't solve the real issue here which is **bleep** hardware.
Even on days and nights where there are not clouds in the sky, I get the "GPS does not work well indoors" error message while driving around in my car, trying to use the "GPS Data" application. My N95-3 and E71 never tell me that.
Nokia, as much as I like them, screwed this phone up hard, and to be honest, they've been doing it for some time.

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

E-71 GPS problem

hi all
when I use GPS DATA > Navigation
the phone waiting for GPS, and the Satellite status give no signals from any satellite.
please advis

here is the explanation on why you need to have some sort of access point defined on nokia e71 in order to use gps software (any kind):
"This is not an issue with Mobile XT, however. The reason you are encountering this is that your particular phone has settings which require data access to acquire satellites. This feature is known as assisted GPS or aGPS technology. Essentially, the cell phone uses towers on the ground to triangulate your approximate position before switching to satellite reception. To get around this, you'll need to consult the manufacturer of your phone to see about adjusting these settings. Once they're switched off, and the phone is using the regular GPS chip instead. This will not require data signal. "
this is a reply from the garmin support team. this sucks and the end result is that every time you loos satellite reception it WILL connect to the internet, true, just for a second, but when your travelling and you´re in roaming, this could mean a substantial amount of money.

I think the GPS is getting a FIX because the Fix LED on the GPS flashes once every 15 seconds.
I have checked everything:
- Cross-wired TX on the GPS breakout to RXD on the Cobbler breakout, and RX on the GPS to TXD.
- I place the GPS device close to a window. But a I can't get a line of sight to the sky.
- I check "cat /dev/ttyAMA0" but the output is empty.
Any idea? I have attached an image of my board.
Thanks!

Thanks Tom for the answer. I think I have done all the modifications on raspberry files:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ tail /etc/inittab
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
#T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
# Example how to put a getty on a modem line.
#T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS3
#Spawn a getty on Raspberry Pi serial line
#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyAMA0 115200 vt100
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ tail /boot/cmdline.txt
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait
It seems right, not?
And yes, I rebooted the raspberry several times :-(
Thanks

N97 GPS Problems - Hardware or Software?

Sorry to start yet another thread on the N97 GPS problems, but reading through all the threads there seems not to be any clear conclusion as to whether or not the issue is a software/firmware one, in which case potentially fixable, or a hardware one, in which case the phones have to be sent back and replaced.
My personally feeling is that it's hardware. Some people have no issue but many have a problem. I have the same issues with losing the satellites, poor GPS accuracy, etc. both with Ovi Maps 3.01 and with Google Maps, which again to me points to a hardware fault. Updating firmware from v10 to v11 made no difference to GPS performance.
So, I wonder if people agree with me that it is a hardware issue and the phones have to go back, or if there is some hope of it being a software issue and thus being fixed?
Anyone had any success in sending back an N97 for replacement because if the GPS issue? Mine is a UK 3 branded N97 black, free as part of a contract, and I have a feeling that 3 are likely to resist replacing the phone if they can.
Mark

I believe that the GPS problem in N97 not a hardware problem but a software problem with the Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.
Below explanation why:
I have been using Nokia Maps 2.0 on my previous phone – E71 for more than one year. It worked pretty well and stable. One important remark – it is important to configure the server for AGPS under Settings well...
About one and half month ago I decided to install on my E71 the newest Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.0. And ... immediately my problems started. The GPS performance worsened – I was continuously getting messages about GPS lost, recalculating and usually concluding that I am on a parallel road to the road which I was actually driving – horrible...
Also my colleague with N82 made the same mistake (installed Maps 3.0) and got the same problems.
Because of this problems I have removed this new version on my E71 and went back to Nokia Maps 2.0. And guess what? - The problems were gone!
Two weeks ago I bought my N97. It comes only with Maps 3.1 so I was expecting problems. And ... indeed I have them all. Bad thing is however that I cannot go back to Maps 2.0 on N97...
I tested GPS accuracy with three different phones (N97, E71, E75) and two versions of Nokia Maps. What I can see is that its normal to be about 80-100 meters on average. This is not a specific N97 issue! And apparently should not be a problem because Nokia Maps 2.0 works great even if this application shows accuracy of 100 m. Probably thanks to the Assisted GPS.
So my conclusion is that it is not a hardware problem but a problem with (a part of) the software of the Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.x ! Maybe with a GPS Driver? Or the functionality of the assisted GPS?

Constant GPS problems

Hello,
I am having problems with gps on my phone. I am on my first replacement from Verizon and am having the same issues as the original.
I will eventually get a lock, but will get a notification saying GPS signal lost in the middle of navigating with Google Maps. I have also noticed that it has trouble figuring out which way I am heading. Lets say my google maps has me going north, my arrow might be going north but it pointed West. Seems all screwed up.
Read somewhere that Verizon got a bad first batch of phones in regards to the gps chip, anyone know if that's true?

Thanks for attempting the hard reset to resolve your issues takesone1221. Let's try safe mode because there may be an app on your device that could be causing issues with the GPS. I recommend enabling the safe mode and adding each application one at a time to test each application for GPS problems. Here are the steps http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87334/ . Please keep us posted. Once you're done, you can disable the Safe mode function.
I also would like to apologize about the previous message that was incomplete.

Elipsis 7 GPS problems

I can't figure out if this actually has a GPS in it or not. Anybody else? When running anything wanting gps, like Maps, the status bar eternally shows "searching for GPS". I've downloaded a couple of GPS status apps, and, while my phone, S5, says it can see something like 22 satellites, and is using 12-18 usually, the tablet sometimes says it can see 1, and uses 0. Has anybody had any success with the GPS on this thing?

Hi Kevin,
No, I don't get an error message. In Google Maps, I get an eternal "Searching for GPS" in the status bar. Maybe I don't get an error message because Maps is able to approximate my position off of wifi, so it's happy enough when it gets a wifi signal. I'll go walk around the corner and see what happens. OK, I turned off wifi, and after a minute or so, it placed me about two miles away. I restarted the tablet, with wifi off, and it still has me about two miles away, though, interesting enough, it isn't complaining that it's "Searching for GPS". If I turn wifi back on, it zeros in on my house (well, almost, I think it might be the pole where the cable connection is around the corner), but it still isn't complaining about not finding the gps. But if I walk away from my house, it puts me a couple miles away again.
With wifi on, or off, if I run another app, like GPS Test, it usually says there are no satellites in view, and none in use. Occasionally, it will say that there is one in view, but none in use, though I haven't seen any rhyme or reason for when that happens, no matter how clear a view of the sky I give it. Whereas, all my other devices always have 10-16 satellites in view, and most of those in use.
It's just not clear to me that they even put a GPS receiver in this thing.
Thank,
Philip

N86 GPS problem

I have a problem with GPS on Nokia N86:
It has a huge problem to get a connection with sattelities. It is not a Ovi Maps fault because I have checked it with other applications. Even if it connect with sattelites, it works inaccurately and keeps breaking the conection. The software is up to date. It made a test with Nokia LD-3W via bluetooth and it works perfect. Is it possible that integrated GPS is broken? Does anybody knows the solution?

Hi Folks,
I also got a N86 a few days ago and well, I also have that GPS problem.
The strange thing is, I installed Sygic 7.x and he navigation was working without problems, 3 times no problem to get a quick gps fix.
But as for me Sygic is **bleep** I decided to switch over to Garmin Mobile XT which I liked on the 5800.
From that time I experiance problems with a gps fiy, sometimes it works within a minute, sometimes I wait 30 minutes without any fix.
During that time I'm outside and A-GPS is switched on.
It's the same if I just try the Nokia tools like OVI-Maps, or just GPS informations.....no fix, so it's not a Garmin problem.
I'm not sure if that is an issue which will be fixed with a firmware update, but I hope so very much!
I'm thinking of getting it to a Nokia Service point to complain about it....will see...
As far it does not look like anybody has a solution for that problem....damnit

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.
