[Q] GPS doesn't work, help please?

[harrisonp]

Issue:

GPS seems to be able to give me a fix on my location + directions.

GPS (on high accuracy mode) will not follow my car as it is moving to my destination at all. After it gets the initial location it says "GPS signal lost" constantly.

This makes the maps application for my phone practically useless.

Please help? I've read vague things about setting GPS in stock ROM making it work in other ROMs. I don't have a clue though.

OK we need a little bit of information.

Are you rooted,
Software version,
Customer rom?
Are you inside when you start it or in a car?
Have you downloaded, updated, any apps or your rom?

 

[harrisonp]

Rooted? Yes.

Software version? 5.1.1

Customer ROM? I'm using AICP, which is Cyanogen-based.

I'm inside my car when I try to use the GPS.

I keep all my apps up-to-date.

More in likely it is just signal issues. I have to have mine by my windshield or my sunroof open. Once it gets signal again, it works as I'm driving. Not sure why it is but this was when I was running kitkat. I'm on Lollipop now stock rooted so I'll give it a try next time I go for a quick drive to test it out. Give that a try or go for a walk and choose an address a couple of blocks down. Let me know how it goes.

still completely broken. no gps fixing app can get a signal or lock.
