Hello, navigation worked fine on my new phone for the first month, after that I have serious problems with my LG G2. Whenever I navigate on google maps, my location does not change; it says "waiting for location" however, Google Map tells my location within seconds. My problem is limited only to the navigation. I think the word for that is LOCK (Gps icon does not turn white on Lg g2). Is it a software problem or a hardware problem? I have tried all the GPS fix application and it does not seem to work. Please Help.

Maps knows your location from the WiFi and Google Location Services, it is a rough estimate but in urban areas is often quite accurate, you cannot navigate by it though... If you are not getting any GPS signal try GPS Status and Toolbox from the Play Store, if you are unable to get a lock, the next step will depend on if you are rooted (or want to), if not you should factory default default first, and if it still fails best look for a replacement or warranty repair, if you are rooted there is a chance more can be done, it's 50/50 if it fails on stock.
Honestly, GPS issues are the bain of this device, other than that it is rock solid.
