Help My GPS sucks

[Trilla]

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.

Forgot to mention I already tried that.

It worked before and after rooting

if GPS worked before rooting and after, then you would have no problem?????????

The GPS problem has only been for the last month or so. I've been rooted much longer than that

Do all of the other radios work okay? Wifi, bluetooth, etc?

Everything else works perfect.

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.
