ThisStock JB rooted with Google Wallet fix. Steps 4 - 12 fixed my GPS issues. Thanks a ton.
Well, it looks like GPS is really wonky on my wife's S3 as well. She is running stock rooted AT&T ROM. At random times while driving with GPS on GPS would just stop working, no icon showing at all, GPS Status doesn't show any sats. The only cure is to reboot the phone. Toggling GPS on/off doesn't help. I did full wipe reinstall before and the problem persists.
It feels like software problem. The weird thing is that init.rc on the phone does reference some gps daemon that doesn't exists in /system/bin and I suspect that all the GPS data is coming from RIL and modem firmware. But I don't see anything suspicious in logcat.
I followed all the steps in the OP, and flashed the gps zip as well, now it gives me "location set by GPS" in the notifications, but when I go into Maps, it says it's "accurate to 1000 meters"... I've had GPS working correctly on this phone previously...
running CM 10.1 nightlies, i know GPS was working as of a couple weeks ago, but hadn't really checked recently until today.
any ideas?
My phone did the same GPS trick. But after re-flashing the last rom that had a working gps, the gps came back to life.

I'm releasing a fixed GPS from today it's almost done then will upload so you all will have a working DD.
But also still on track for v2.0 release tomorrow.
Got the GPS bug fixed now and I'm running tests. What I really want is the steps which lead to your issues with this so I am sure then your scenario is covered in this fix release.
I know there are many ways GPS can be used and I'm not satisfied my use is going to be the same as yours plus don't feel like having to do another fix release taking time away from v2.0 schedule.
So if you all could please post the steps it will help me help you get what your looking for.
I appreciate everyones patience.
I'll go up the road when it done to the pizza place which has super fast upload to make sure you all get it faster.
Thanks
Jk

You can download the app "gps status" from the play store (free) and you can verify your signal with that.
