Download GPS Test app and see if you can lock on any.

You access it by dialing *#*#64663#*#* on the keypad tested on GPS...

No data with 0

Could you try different permutations (indoor/outdoor, data on/off etc) and see how fast it locks? And preferable with Waze/Gmaps too to see if it locks during navigation or not. smile.gif

Few days back I tried outdoor, data off and in a moving car.. it was searching for few mins before I gave up coz needed direction in a hurry.

Then I switched on data (celcom), locked on within a minute then remained connected & accurate all the way.

Fantastic. I guess most people use GPS with data so it shouldn't be a problem then. Thanks for your feedback! rclxms.gif

I think your unit wasn't properly assembled after screen replacement. There are many parts need to be shielded or it will cause gps or proximity sensor to malfunction.

I think same case as yours, please start reading from the last page http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/ge...-t2895111/page5

Unfortunately there is no easy fix. Some tear down sites for your reference in case you wanna DIY.

Good luck.
