Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with my flo (using CM11 M12). Most of the time my location mode is set to "Battery saving". However, I recently noticed that when I open the Google Maps app, it complains that location services are disabled. If I set it to "High accuracy", it works, my position is indicated on the map. Having GPS enabled with "High accuracy" should not have anything to do with this, since I'm indoors, and my position appears right after setting "High accuracy". Anyone with similar experiences? Thanks!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to check if any of you have had issues with the GPS/Maps?
I have a weird problem where apps like Facebook/Foursquare/Whatsapp are not able to obtain my location. It just stalls "waiting for location"
Whether I have GPS turned on or off it's the same problem
However when I load the Maps app, it is able to obtain my location without any issues, which is weird
Anyone else facing this problem?
I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 FXP339 with the GApps mini package on an Xperia M2 dual C2005 and have noticed that I can't get a GPS fix in Google Maps but do get a fix within a few seconds in Navigator and GPS test. If I switch between Maps and GPS test I notice that GPS status is always "no fix" when returning to GPS test, but is set to "3D fix" in a few seconds. If I switch between GPS test and AndroiTS GPS Test there's seems to be a fix from the start.
The location setting is on and set to "High precision" (GPS, WiFi and mobile).
If I set location to "unit only" (GPS only) I get no positioning at all in Maps, but Navigation and the test apps still position.
I've seen this GPS fix thread but it seems to be for general GPS problems, while in my case it's only one app (Google Maps) that has this problem.
Has anyone else seen this and what can be done about it? I don't remember having this problem on the stock ROM.
Hey folks,
The latest version of Google Maps has had an impact on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Basically, you need to set Location to "high accuracy" to get a location fix! Whereas before you could use "power saving" (use wi-fi only to find location) and Google Maps would provide a location fix.
This is really, really horrible. I am not going to turn on my GPS chip when my tablet spends its whole day inside my house. But I still would like a location fix to be provided to Google Maps so I can do things like, easily find directions from "current location" to somewhere else, etc.
There is already some people complaining about this issue on Google forum, please add to it to give this issue further attention:

Hello Guys,
I have a really annoying problem.
When I'm at home Google continuous switch between my real position (Home) and another place in Italy (Pesaro) (I''ve never been to Pesaro).
I have at home My Nest thermostat and Philips HUE and at least 10 times during the evening the light will be switched off because it sense that I'm not at home (Wrongly).
I have tried with High accuracy, low Accuracy and "Only position".
With only position use the GPS and It works but inside buildings is not working.
With High Accuracy is working, but when the phone goes to sleep when in standby, the map will goes wrongly to Pesaro.
With low battery the problem is really presente and it stay very often to the wrong position.
In google History there is no sign of Pesaro (For google Location History i've never been there).
The problem is only present in my home and near the home.
With wifi off and 3g on the problem is more present.
How can I solve that? Any advice?
I tried GPS Fix but is not working.
Simone
It looks like Google Maps has got a wrong default location and this looks to be an issue that has arisen from 2013 when Google stopped users changing their default location. The only test I can think of is to download offline maps for an area round your home and the area around Pesaro and then with "phone", wifi and gps switched off open Maps and see which map opens - It may not work since the phone may well hold its last recorded location for faster location fixing..
From your post I'm assuming that you've checked your home and work locations and roamed around all the location related bits of your Google account ( https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin )

The account is all secure.
I have already downloaded the Offline Home maps from google.
Never tried do download also the Pesaro one.
I try checking about default location.
See this thread (started 12 aug 2015 and still active today!) https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/NfH94fJ6KUU;context-place=forum/maps. The issue appears to be that Google's wifi location database records the MAC address of your router as being in Pesaro. An accurate GPS position overrides the wifi location but "sleeping" causes the wifi location to be restored. Claimed fix method in earlier posts but summarized in this post https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/maps/NfH94fJ6KUU/JtidQZ_WCAAJ
I used fake gps locator application. After using it i realised google maps jumps to fake location and doesn't go back to real location. I have disabled mock location and uninstalled fake gps app. Even tried gps fix apps. But none of them works. Do anyone has an idea to fix it?
