Android Resources
Rooting, restoring system apps, etc...
Below are some resources I found useful to clean out my phone and also repair when things go wrong.
Phone Apps
GPS Test - Fix GPS problems by going to settings and hitting "Clear AGPS". I have no idea why this works but it fixed not being able to locate GPS on my Galaxy Nexus.
Juice Defender - For saving battery by automatically turning off 3/4G when connected to Wifi and turning off both if your screen is off.
Google News and Weather - Original stock app that came with Android 4.2 and below before being removed in 4.3 and above. Luckily can be installed by just running the apk file.
Number Saver - For dialing numbers you have copied (for whatever reason, the default dialer doesn't let you paste phone numbers).
Root Explorer - For browsing to any file on the phone and moving/copying files as needed.
Titanium Backup - For creating backups and deleting bloatware.

I never had a problem until I did a factory reset, since then it hhas been impossible to get a fix on the gps location
You should specify which Android phone. Posts like this make all Androids look like they have crappy GPS. While my Incredible has great GPS signal.
