I've been having ongoing problems with my GPS for awhile now. At first I thought it was due to a problem with the Lineage OS ROM. Now, having gone back to various stock ROMs, I've found that it's occurring with them as well.
The problem is this: the GPS works great the first 24 hours or so after a boot. After that, the GPS seems to die, showing no satellites in GPS Test or similar apps. HOWEVER, after a reboot, it works great again. Given that it works great after a fresh boot, I'm inclined to think this is a software problem, not hardware - and I'd like to hear from you as to whether you agree with this thinking.
If it is a software issue, the question is what else I can try other than what I've already done (flashing stock and other ROMs). Maybe there's some software that isn't being wiped/overwritten when flashing these stock ROMs with Odin? I tried using KIES, but it doesn't allow me to initialize the device (I'm assuming because Knox shows I've already installed a custom ROM onto it at some point).
Any wisdom appreciated - even if it's just a suggestion of where else to ask about this!
