Does anyone know how too fix the gps lock on issue? Please help

[slik6996]

I am running a stock none rooted jelly bean updated galaxy nexus CDMA Verizon. My GPS well take any where from 5min to an hour to lock on. I tried all the wifi tricks even went location services and turned them on and off also even cleared data on Google maps and still the same. Anyone have a fix that does not involve rooting. Or a factory reset tried that too and nothing. Thanks for any help I can get.

I used this app on my Thunderbolt when it was new. Give it a look and see if it will help you.

+1 GPS Status, clear the the agps data then download it back... The app will explain this. Also don't know if you do but leave gps on all the time as it only uses battery when it's being actively used. If you just turn it on when you need it I've found it locks on a lot faster.

Did you try the Settings -> Location Services, uncheck, recheck solution? After a Google search for the same issues, I found that and it worked for me.

I have also tried that and it did nothing. Idk people say root but I'm not comfortable rooting. Looks like I'll have to wait it out for the next nexus.

Did it work before JB? Last resort: You might see what they say at the VZW store.
