Is anyone else getting this problem? It just keeps saying searching. I've tried with multiple ROMs along with wiping data, cache, dalvik, factory resets...nothing works.

Tried the app, still a no go. I've waiting 10 minutes + and it still said searching

Sure did. I tried every wipe and reset possible and still nothing. I'm downloading a 4.3 ROM to see if that fixes anything..

You just flash the MDL modem via odin or Safestrap? Is this ok to do over MK2?

edit: You are a life saver... Flashing the MDL modem with safestrap/twrp fixed my gps!!!!!!
