GPS does not work on my Galaxy S4

A few months ago, the GPS on my Galaxy S4 is wrong. It is not engaged, and when he does, he just drops off.

I searched online but have not found clues of what may happen to him. For me it is essential that this works, I'm thinking even change mobile, but I get very angry after having spent so much money.
 
I tried to uninstall programs GPS, Google Maps delete cache, uninstall updates Google Maps, but nothing. Do not be a HW problem? If so, I guess I have no choice but to switch phones.

Get off this app "GPS Status & Toolbox" to reset the data, you're going to Tools> Manage state of A-GPS> Reset cache our GPS Android then calibrates the GPS with this app "GPS Essentials" says if you worked. Good luck and greetings

Thank you very much for the help, but works for me:-(
I did what the "GPS Status & Toolbox". Then the "GPS essentials" I calibrated the compass, do not know if that was what he had to do, I have not seen anything to calibrate the GPS specifically.
If you've done well, this implies that it is a hardware problem, right?

In this case the only previous solution left is to reset the phone to factory (save a full backup before). Once done, if still fails, it would effectively hardware. regards
