Hi,
I have a GPS issue.
I purchased the P6 2 weeks ago.
It takes the GPS a long time (15 minutes) to get a fix on my location.
I have now upgraded to firmware b111 hoping it will help but it did not.
I have searched the internet to find more information and it seems that NEXUS users on JellyBean 4.2 had a similar issue that was eventually fixed by a firmware upgrade. Also I found other phones (such as Samsung SII) that once upgraded to 4.2.2 had the same issue (one of them even posted on h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203367)
I have also found several complaints from P6 users suffering from long delay times until GPS gets a fix.
I have installed App called GPSTest on this P6 as well as on a different Andriod phone that I own.
holding both phones I activated the GPS and started the GPSTest App.
The App showed that the P6 is 'seeing' less GPS satellites and that the signal strength from the satellites is received as weaker on the P6.
I have sent a email to Huawei to notify them of the issue,
I urge anyone suffering from the same issue to do the same a post the Fault information on:
h**p://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email
If any one knows how to fix it please post it.
thnx

I've reported to Huawei on this issue on their facebook but no reply from them.
You may try get this App from Play Store GPS Status - Test & Fix.
It works for me. I can get my location within 10 seconds now.:good:
I had a problem with the GPS initially on my P6. I would find that turning the 'phone off (power down) and then back on again would cure this until the next time I wanted to use the GPS when I'd have to turn it off (power down) and on again.
I didn't seem to suffer from this problem after upgrading to firmware 107 (from 105) but by then, Co-Pilot Live had also had an update so it was possible that either one of the updates cured my problems.
me too , i have problem with GPS , when i install some GPS program Sygic or IGO or NAVIGON , for first time work and when i turn again ... no gps signal no nothing ... Only work GoogleMaps ... i dont know why.... someone with my problem ?
Try B118 leaked rom.
I have the same problem with GPS getting a fix. I downloaded GPS info from Play sore and i get a fix in a few seconds. Very good app
Guys am recommending do not install latest gmaps ..! They SUCKS ! Just uninstall and it will uninstall just update .. older version will be still there..

I've been having this issue since I bought my P6: GPS radio literally dies, when you try opening any app using GPS that little dot with a circle in the notification panel's left corner fails to blink. I tried factory reset, b111, b118, GPS fix, gpstest and some others. GPS was back after trying some of this methods, but erratically.
This morning it was dead again and none of above worked. After reading some threads about this issue I read one mentioning that turning it off for a while worked for him. I did, and it worked. I suspect it is an overheat issue.

It happens to me as well that I need to switch off the phone and on it back to get my GPS work again.
But it's still slow. Sometime need 3 to 5 minutes or forever.

there is NO problem with gps but with google maps !!! u have to uninstall latest maps and install old ones like few months old maps .. it works great on my p6 .. gps lockig takes one minute or less
It's Google Maps
It's true.
The GPS receiver is fine. It's the latest updates of GoogleMaps that's causing all that.
After removing the updates, I had no problems getting a quick fix (pardon the pun).

Not entirely true. I had severe issues trying to get GPS fix with Ingress, so much so that it was unplayable. If you read the other literature it is definitely not only Gmaps.
Hi, I'm in B122 and i've fixed mi slow GPS start problem, using a little free app named "GPS status & fix"...
It has worked OK for me, now mi GPS has fix in 10-30 sec...
Best regards.
I just one to report that my GPS is working well after I updated to B118 ROM.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk
I'm on B118. Decent GPS lock-on speed (within a few minutes, outside).
But after using TopNTP, now it's within 10 seconds. Even inside my apartment. I tried a few different profiles until I hit the one giving me this fastest lockon.
:good:
i got a problem with my p6! maybe someone can help. couldnt get a gps fix so i restarted my phone. normaly that helps. but after restarting my phone the gps symbol doesnt appear anymore. if i start an app like gps test normaly a gps symbol would appear at the top of my screen blinking. gps test tells me my gps is on but i dont get any satelites anymore and the symbol is still missing! any ideas????

From what I recall, the GPS symbol only shows when you are in the app that's using it. For example, when you are in Gmaps or Navigation you will see the GPS symbol blinking in notification bar. However, when you are at the homescreen, the GPS symbol disappears. Once you go back to the app, you should see the GPS blink again. BTW what firmware are you on?
At least you get some gps signal. I tried using TopNTP, GPS fix, GPS status, but nothing works on B125. D:
Hello everyone i'm new here, some time ago i have updated my tablet's android version from 4.3 to 4.4.2 through ota update, after about one month later my tablet started having a weird wifi problem (i don't know if it is related to ota update or not) my tablet shows good wifi signal but it wont connect (it connects only when it is near router's antenna though and this is really weird) and no it is not a router problem because it is the same problem everywhere, i tried EVERYTHING to fix this problem (wifi fixer apps, factory reset, reinstalled android firmware with samsung kies, rooted my tablet and even installed a custom rom) but none of these methods didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem? did i miss something??? could it be a bad kernel? or maybe a bad configuration that should be changed manually, or is it just a hardware problem?
Did you try with stock Lollipop firmware?

After oreo update, I have got a problem with WIFI. In my house everything is OK, but when I am at work, mobile phone connect to the wifi, internet works for a couple of minutes and after that, wifi has been marked with
exclamation mark and when I want to turn off wifi, click on the wifi switch and Settings not responding. When I click on wifi in the navigation bar, UI not responding. After that, I have to restart the phone. After the restart, wifi is turned off.
I have got stock oreo(ETL). I tried to root it or restore backups from google play and Samsung cloud but nothing work. Maybe the problem is that in the work we have 5Ghz wifi.
When I revert to stock NUGAT, everything works.
Any idea what could be a problem?
at work do you have 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz with same ssid?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A320FL met Tapatalk
yes
android 7 had issues with that. change ssid of one of them and all problems are gone. Seems that android keeps switching between 2.4 and 5 ghz and connection fails ..
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A320FL met Tapatalk
did you mean android 8? Because I have this problem on oreo (8). But I am not allowed to change ssid on the work wifi.
I meant that this error was there in android 7.0. I changed the ssid of 5 ghz and problem was solved. have now 8.0 didnt test it again, but assume issue is the same..
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A320FL met Tapatalk
On 7.0 ETL works fine, anyway, I am not allowed to change the ssid in the work so I am not able to use wifi in the work
Same problem
After a standard update of Samsung to Android 8.0 I have exactly the same problem with the Wifi network at work. Before the update everything was ok. The wifi network at work has Phase 2 authentication (MSCHAPV2). Maybe it also has something to do with that. Were you able to fix the problem? If not I would like to revert the update and go back to Android 7, but I don't know how to do that.

I've got the same issue, I didn't find any way to solve it.
There is no option to force the use of 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz in this android version.
I didn't find a app to do it either.
Same here. Following the update, I can use WLAN at home but not at work (exactly the same pattern as described in the initial posting). Very annoying.
I wrote at Samsung support (czech support) and they told me that they don't have reported similar problem .. hm, it looks that the problem is there. Can you contact support too? Maybe, Samsung release the fix for it.
No, I didn't find any solution. But oreo didn't bring me any new feature, on the contrary, some useful features were deleted. Context menu which appears on long press icon doesn't contain app info. Forcing adaptable icon for Google apps is very annoying too because the google apps icons have the ugly border. I don't understand Google, they bring adaptable icons in the oreo but after one year, their icons still have the border.
So I revert to the Nugat which works perfectly for me. (For extending memory, I am using LINK2SD with SanDisk A1 certificated card)
I have the exact same problem. When connected to work wifi network, I get exclamation mark on the wifi icon, then it all freezes, and the phone restarts. In some of those restarts I cannot even type my password to unblock the phone. I also cannot deactivate wifi, when I press the icons the system freezes.
Same problem. Wifi at home no problem. Wifi at work (complex, multi-router, PEAP) is too difficult and phone hangs after showing the exclamation mark for some time.
Is everyone switching back to nougat? to be honest I'm not completely sure what the benefit of Oreo is, the net effect is negative for sure.
Seems to be issues with Oreo! maybe roll back wait
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_ga...nd_bootloops_after_oreo_update-news-31359.php
other ROM for A320FL?
An update: A wipe of the cache disk did not work. I don't want to start resetting factory settings as that will cost too much time. The freezing and rebooting really only happens on the PEAP wifi network, containment is to just disable wifi and the phone is working fine. (for me)
Did anyone roll back to nougat? Is that a smooth process?
Are there any other ROMs for this A320FL that people are happy about?
https://www.sammobile.com/2018/06/04/galaxy-a3-2017-update-june-2018-security-patch
So maybe it contains hotfix for this issue.
Can you someone write here whether wifi problem is fixed when you get this update? Thx
I've made a clean install with :
This firmware has version number PDA A320FLXXU2CRE3 and CSC A320FLDBT2CRD4. The operating system of this firmware is Android 8.0.0 , with build date Wed, 30 May 2018 05:37:04 +0000. Security patch date is 2018-06-01, with changelist 13368006.
And it's fixed.
Same problem here. Wifi disconnects and dont automaticaly connect. so I have 4g all the time consuming data.
Only solution is turn off wifi and turn back.
But after a few minutes it´s disconnected again
I have the same problems. I have done a factory reset and also used safe mode. These did not solve the problem.
As with other users, the problem only occurs on my work wifi. As long as I get my phone to never connect to that particular network it works fine. That is not the solution though. We need a patch on the operating system to fix this.
As I told two post upper, the bug is fixed with the patch : Security patch date is 2018-06-01
Hi. At the start of December, I upgraded my Mi A2 Lite to Android 9 and ever since then I have been facing issues with a few apps over WiFi. The following apps are being affected:
- YouTube
- Twitter
- Facebook
- WhatsApp
- Chrome
*These issues are only on my WiFi. On 4G or any other WiFi these issues don't happen*
The issue with Facebook and Twitter is the same. Both won't load any new feed and behave as if my WiFi is not turned on. YouTube only works at times, other times it would just keep loading and nothing would happen. Sending images or videos on WhatsApp is impossible now. It even has troubles making the backup to Google Drive on my WiFi. As for Chrome the issue is that sometimes even though WiFi is turned on, it would not load any page and just say that I'm not connected to internet. I've been reading other people's threads online and even emailed Xiaomi and Google. I tried the steps (hardware test etc) as told in the email by Xiaomi but that has not helped. Some said that using WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time caused this issue but I have used WiFi with bluetooth turned off yet the issue is still there. Now if this was a WiFi issue then I would have contacted my provider but with the same WiFi connection I have not faced a single issue on any other mobile devices and laptops. As for my WiFi I can't seem to change it from ipv6 to ipv4 (or I just don't know how to). If anybody has faced this issue and knows how to solve it then please help, It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Have you tried disabling Bluetooth and then reconnecting to the WiFi in question? Having both enabled at the same time causes WiFi speed transfers to be really bad, it's an already reported Pie bug.
Btw, can u see 5ghz wifi networks?
Cause i can and have same problem with slow wifi+bluetooth
Yes I have turned Bluetooth off and used WiFi like that but the issue is still there with all the apps mentioned
Any update on this? I'm having the same issue. Using a VPN seems to solve the problem but the connection is slower.
I am facing the same problem on my A2 lite Android One Pie. Even the further upgrades including March upgrade did not resolve the issue. It really sucks.
Has anyone found any solution?
Is MI even concerned or acknowledges the issue?
Is there a way to go back to Android 8?

Hello Dear Sajid Abid,
Good Day !
1st Remember One Thing. Downgrade Is Not A Easy Task, Downgrading Has Also A SIM Issue Problem,.But If You Still Want To Go Back Your Mobile Device From Pie To Oreo You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Stock Oreo (From MIUI Forum) And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool. After Successfully Ported The Stock Oreo Rom You Can Close The Boot-Loader.
All Instructions/Steps Can Be Easily Found On A2 Lite Forum.
Here Is The Link Which Can Help For Resolving SIM Issue Problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/sim-card-issue-downgrading-pie-9-0-t3874350
Have A Nice Day.
Thanks,

try developer options and disable "mobil data always on" option.
So, I bought the mi a2 lite as a gift for someone - it looks like a nice phone and it comes with android one which is a bonus. However, when testing the phone to see if it worked - it did a 'security' update but then upgraded it from android 8.1 to android pie (9.0). I have seen many threads with problems relating to android pie on this phone. Should I try and downgrade it back to android 8.1 or leave it on android pie?
What possible problems are there for the a2 lite on android pie?
For 10.0.3.0 compilation, in my case;
*Lack of bluetooth audio streaming codecs (sbc only)
*Some problems with WiFi ipv6 only. Forced ipv4 works like a charm.
*Slower WiFi while Bluetooth/GPS is ON. Probably because everything is using 2.4GHz band.

Is forced ipv4 on the phone, or in router settings? Also what kind of encryption does your WiFi use?
ipv4 in router. I am using WPA/WPA2 mixed.
Mi A2 Lite after Pie update is my only device having problems with my Router/AP

I saw that thread. It looks different than her problem because it looks like people have WiFi, but specific apps don't have connection. Her wifi doesn't connect at all.

The strangest thing: I just bought one of these. During startup it connected to my wifi, then made the Pie upgrade and wouldn't connect to my wifi again afterwards.
I've then tried back and forth with wifi security settings and found out that:
1) it works without wifi security
2) it works with WPA only (before it was WPA/WPA2-mixed)
This is the first device in our home with such an issue with our Wifi. Very troublesome....

I think you have to do a factory reset ,but backup your stuff on your pc , i had troubles to ,after going from Oreo to Pie, after resetting, everything works great, no issues with wifi at all, don't know about bluetooth because i don't use wifi and bluetooth at the same time

I did a couple of factory resets to no avail. Since I found a fine workaround, I won't do more about it.
Otherwise the phone is nice, the only other problem being the "double tap to wake" feature which wakes my phone in my pocket and driving me insane.

Just for reference, the double-tap-to-wake feature depends on the hardware build.
I've seen several of these phones bought in UK and none had this "feature"
