maps does not get gps; gps status gets satellites -----

[Guest eFfeM]

Hi,

I noticed that sometimes google maps needs quite some time for getting a gps fix.

Yesterday it was incredibly slow. It took almost an hour before it got a fix.

However, at the same time gps status told me it was seeing something like 10 satellites. This was in a car on the motorway (btw wasn't driving while playing).

I've had similar experience with sygic mobile maps.

Anyone an idea? This is on SS R4. Also worried some app is interfering.

Thanks alot! FM

PS: I did google for solutions but didn't manage to find any.

Sometimes my phone doesn't seem to get a fix in google maps, if it hasn't after a minute or so, I go to" my tracks" and click "my location". For some reason "my tracks" seems to be able to get a fix almost immediately, as does "navigator". If you then go back to maps you will have a fix. Hope it works for you.

I can't get gps fix. With any gps app... swedish spring rls 5, blade gen2

Short update;

I've moved from swedish spring 4 to CyanogenMod and things seem to have improved/resolved.

Note that I am not saying that the rom itself caused things to change, it could also well be that it was the complete clean of apps that was part of the process.

PS: and the suggestion from shpal above also sometimes worked for me.
