Everytime I reboot my phone and it boots up, this notification appears saying cant find your location. It goes away in about 2-3 seconds. I have checked my location settings and eveything is on except for location history. I don't know what is causing this. Also, I have noticed around this same that this started that there are times when I phone lags quite a bit, it doesn't do it all the time and it seems to happen randomly. I don't know if these two issues are related or not. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well what rom are you on? Have you made any changes to the build.prop? have you modified your gps.config file? These are all thing that can cause this and here are some fixes:

*New rom (cm 12 works nice)
*Go and do a 100% unroot and factory reset (Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 -Not my fault if your device(s) break).
*You could go and redownload the rom you are on then do this:

1) Extract the .zip file
2) Locate the gps.config (Name my be different)
3) Place it in the right spot/fix premissons
4) Work?
5) Don't blame me if something happens make a backup!

I am on the bar rin rom. I have not made any changes to the buildprop.

I'm on BarRin, and haven't noticed any GPS problems.

Try going into the application manager and clearing cache for LocationServices. It won't hurt to go into TWRP and clear cache and Dalvik cache, either (It's under Wipe, Advanced). No guarantees, but it could help.
