Hi, after installed 4.4.2 DBT i'm unable to fix using glonass, the fixing is done only with Gps.

I'm using GPS Status to verify the issue.

I second that

No Glonass on Omega v23 kitkat also. My i9505 sees glonass satelittes, but does not lock to them.

Any solutions?

Nothing is a know bug. CM11 seems to be safe.

no solution (yet)

It would be interesting to see experience of other i9505/kitkat users (if possible GPS status screenshots also).

I would like to switch to some custom kitkat ROM which has no such problems with glonass lock, if such exists.

Mine is a i9500 and GLONASS locks just fine! Lol, what could a dev has done so good that GLONASS doesn't get a fix I wonder :p

Thank you for your answer, now I am even more confused. I have made clean installation, and as I can see other have that problem too on omega, which is only slightly modified ROM.

Which ROM are you using?

Thank you once again :))

I am also having the GLONASS issue after updating to I9505XXUFNB8. Using tools like GPS status I know that the device can see the GLONASS satellites, but they are all greyed out and not being locked. I am getting a fix on US GPS satellites only. GPS and GLONASS worked fine in 4.3.

GPS is usually fine, but under some conditions, when GLONASS would be helpful (and it doesn't lock :/, it is greyed out), accuracy is very degraded.
