Official ICS; Still poor GPS performance

[Radukk]

Same as UCLF5. Mine unable to lock indoors and take more than 5 min to lock while driving.

CWM Fix file from UCLF5 thread would work on this but seriously they should have tested it before release to public.

Mine works just fine, lock indoors in less than 10 seconds. Outdoors, same. Running stock 4.0.4 ATT I717. You must just have a bad chipset causing problems.

Also no problems on mine.

Works great on official ICS for me.

GPS is fine here..

I too have gps issues. It will not lock, best I get is 20m radius. This is not precise so navigation will not start either.

GPS works fine before and after the update.

Had the Samsung captivate, it had a bad gps
Had the Samsung Infused, it had an ok gps
Now on the Samsung Note, the GPS works perfect, locks within a sec or two.

I get locks indoors in 5 seconds or under.

My GPS improved over GB.

20m radius is still a lock, unless it simply doesn't sit still for a minute or more

Some people have issues with gps lock and some don't.. I believe certain roms help because they add different tweaks .. or build props to "enhance" or tune. Other devices just have a better response time or better reception I guess everyone's phone is different as we see...

Being on Android for over a year, it's become very apparent that even with the same internals and install procedures, every phone is treated differently, and treats the user differently in turn. It's just something that's unforeseen and probably the main reason things are redone a lot by manufacturers or developers to account for every possible account that the software could change through normal use, by either power users, normal simple users, on all of the extremes.

Can't wait to see developers get at the new build and for source to finally drop.

slight issues for me only from initial use if not used for a day. A quick gps on / off toggle fixes it and it instantly locks.

I had issues with GPS lock on my last two roms. Now I am on stock UCLF6 and GPS locks in seconds.

I have the same gps issue as well. I will give it a day and see how it goes, but need be I am going to go back to GB wipe everything and try again. LF5 didn't work for me either, but the first leak was fine.

Reflashed it again, now even worse than before. Navigation is not working at all. I tried to turn on and off gps but it's still not working. I think I'll have it replaced but funny thing is that on gb and previous ics leaks, except on latest leak, it worked flawlessly.

My GPS...

...was fine on stock UCLA1 and is flaky as hell on stock UCLF6 after doing the Kies update. I used to get a solid lock indoors, now it randomly takes forever if I get a lock at all sometimes and is fine others. I'm trying to sort this (see what might be causing it). Gonna be lots of pissed people if their GPS gets borked by the update.

Edit: GPS Test app always shows 20+ satellites in view but satellites in use can inexplicably vary from 0 to apx. 14, even if left alone. Cold boot fixes it.

Has anyone tried using gps test and clearing / updating AGPS data in the settings? Also something that usually helps me.
