GPS on Nougat. OOS be CM

[EdHicks]

Can anyone tell me why I can't keep a GPS fix on any rom that isn't OOS based?

On CM based roms I can use GPS test apps to gain a fix, but none of the navigation apps can get or keep a fix.

There are some really good CM based roms that I'd love to use as a daily driver, but as a driver I need GPS to function fully and well.

I've tried all kinds of things. I've tried going completely stock between testing CM roms. I ALWAYS CLEAN FLASH. On my first attempt at a rom I follow the instructions to the letter and use only the supplied files. Then I experiment. I re-clean flash and experiment with different firmwares.

All OOS based roms work fine. OP official, Freedom OS, Open Betas ... including OB8.

Just curious if I'm doing something wrong or overlooking something.

Are you on CM now?

Download GPS Test from Play Store, tap the menu button, select Clear AGPS and then Update AGPS and wait for a lock.

On the satellite map you will see the phone connect to GPS satellites (circles) and GLONASS satellites (triangles). Should be fine after the first lock.

At least it is for me on Sultan's CM13.

I have to second this, I couldn't get nav working on any cm13 or cm14 build. Other apps that use gps worked fine, and navigation looks fine until you start driving and your icon doesn't move. But works great on oxygen beta 8.

I had most the sme problem, the only roms that GPS works are
CypherOS 3.1.1-3.1.4 took 5 to 10 min for first fix
RR 5.8 Dec 07 Eliminater thread took 1 min for first lock.

In any other rom couldn't get any fix.

As soon as they fix WiFi / Hotspot again I'll be trying this.
