GPS not working [Marshmallow, 6.0]

My GPS doesn't work. It almost always says "GPS signal lost" on apps like Waze and Pokemon GO; it's like it works and then suddenly loses signal and never gets it back. However, it DOES work on Google Maps and it seems it works perfectly there; so I don't think it's a hardware issue.

My phone is not rooted, it has the stock OTA update Marshmallow version "6.0", with system version 24.41.34.titan-retuglb.retuglb.en.US.retus

However, when I first got 5.0.2 OTA updated, since it pretty much was unusable due to the memory leak bug, I unloaded the bootloader and flashed a nighly version of Cyanogenmod. After some days, I flashed back KitKat 4.4.4; Then I received 5.0.2, 5.1 and 6.0 through the OTA update (the auto updater on the Settings app).


Any ideas what could be wrong? maybe I have to flash a different.. modem? or something like that?
