Actually i'm using sevenrock rom and previously quarks 20130113 and with both of then i cant access to gps with google apps(maps,navigator,my tracks,sky...) the gps stablize position but google program says "waiting to location". If i use another gps program like glympse, twonav, there is no problem and work perfectly.

I try googleing but it looks no more people is sufering this, only one person in xda without answer.

Any help?

Thanks

Hi jotakx,

From memory, the solution is very easy.
I had a similar problem in a different handset (now broken).
You would have to enable Location somewhere in Google Now.
This will allow you to use the GPS in Google Apps.
Note that by doing this, anonymous data may be sent to Google.

Thanks,

I try enabled all option from google, allowing access for everything, installing google search to get google now to enable location options but nothing solve the situation.
I found this
]h**p://dottech.org/94020/how-to-fix-please-enable-google-apps-location-error-in-google-maps-and-google-now-on-android/

thanks to your reply but in setting there is no option for me to "Let Google apps access your location " and my version is 4.1.2 JB Sevenrock mod based on Quarks. And the message “Please enable Google apps location access” never appers to me.

I will try it once again.

Thanks in advance
