[Q] on stock mj9 boot loader - is there a GPS fix?

BlakeDC · Jun 7, 2014

So my GPS only works while my screen is turned off and locked.

Anybody else having the same issue?

Sadly I am on a locked boot loader and pretty sure my warranty is gone due to age of phone...

Anybody know of a fix? This issue remains persistent through flashing all ROMs nebulous, stock, etc (bootstrapped). I can't navigate at all these days BC it just will drop as soon as I turn the screen on! Then I have to turn the screen back off/lock and hope it syncs and starts telling me turn by turns again.

Uuugh frustration with a locked boot loader!

Try uninstalling maps and clearing maps data via app manager and running the stock version. If that works you can let it update again and it will work.

That's how I fixed my maps issue with GPS

I did that, still busted ;(

It wont even lock on any GPS app with the screen on, I tried with TopNTP, GPS Status, etc. Screen off, locks in 1-2 seconds. Screen on...never....
