Help My GPS sucks

Trilla

Newbie
For about the past month or so my GPS has been pretty much useless. When I try to use navigation I always get "searching for gps" I've got the GPS test app and it connects to multiple sats, but the strength is very weak. Only accurate to about 40,000 feet lol. I am rooted, I've used several different ROM's and it's the same on all of them. No more warranty left so I can't send it back :(
 
You can try the old battery trick. Pull the battery, and hold down the power button for thirty seconds. Then power back up and try again. Don't know if it will work, but it's worth a shot.
 
Seems like your gps radio is nerfed. If you get this with different roms, then it can't be software. Two other things to try. Pull the sd card, see if that helps. If you know anyone with the same phone (or the Rumor Touch) swap batteries with them for a few. If that makes no difference, then your gps is probably dead.
