Hi all
I have problems with GPS. I only have visible 2 - 8 satelites (best case 8, usually less than 5) and fix catch 4-5 satellites, but it's too difficult to fix and stay fixed...
I'm playing ingress and this problem is killing my game experience xD
I try a lot of fixes like this
I'm from spain. Any idea?
Thanks!
any rom reccomended for gps working properly? :/

I've been experiencing issues with the gps for a while. For starters, it takes a long time for the turn by turn navigation to start. Just the other day it kept repeating the same street even though I was no where near that street.
I use Google maps, I removed the att navigation, and I'm using the deodexed rom. fyi.
Anyone else experiencing issues?

So, i'm assuming your Ion is rooted? With stock GB on my Ion, i had some very strange gps related stuff happening for the first few days i owned it. I was constantly losing the ability to go into compass mode in google maps, and once that happened...it would not regain gps signal, it would just constantly 'seek' with the blinking icon. If i didn't mess with it for a few hours, it would come back for a bit...but then get lost again. It wasn't just maps, my tracks app wouldn't get a lock either. However, it was always related to when compass mode simply stopped working.
I dug around a little and found people claiming that the orientation sensors can interfere with gps connectivity, and any compass app will reset that within the phone when you install them. Sounded gimmicky, but it worked (i just downloaded the first free compass i found), and i haven't had a single problem since with GB...and after the ics update so far.
But if you rooted your phone, and it was working fine before, that could be the culprit...and i don't have feedback for that yet, as i haven't rooted yet.
So you just installed a random compass app and the navigation worked?

Anyone got the same experience that the Tablet finds 4 to 7 satellites (GPS Status) but dose not get a fix?
And If i get a fix and than start the navigation software it takes again up 30 minutes up to never get a fix.

Hi,
i have two xperia ion with the same problem. When i use GPS for tracking on my bicycle with locusmaps or oruxmaps it alway reboots after a while, it works maybe 30 minutes or one hour but then it reboots. The same with Navigon navigation, always reboot after about 30 minutes. Both smartphones the same problem. Running on Android 4.1.2, i downgraded the phone to ics 4.0.4 but the problem was still the same.
Anybody with a good idea o maybe with the same problem??
Thanks
Peter
Hi,
Sometimes, my GPS take up to 5-10 minutes to lock the signal. It's weird because sometimes it works perfectly !
I tried with my original ROM and with Malaysk ROM and I have the same effect.
My device is a Joynice QuadCore
Do you have any idea ?
Hi everyone.
I'm experiencing severe location inaccurateness using my one Oneplus 3 in germany.
I've already tried several different Oreo roms (OOS, LOS, RR, AOSPA), but all seemed to have the same location problems, especially indoors.
Neither cleaning agps nor changing the gps.conf seemed to improve the accuracy.
On the nougat based resurrection remix however everything was working fine for years, so I continued using this rom till now.
Recently the gps fix changed drastically within seconds, for about 100 meters.
The temporary solution was to reset the cache of the google play services and reboot the phone. This workaround lasts for 1-2 days, then I must clear the cache again.
Is anyone else having this issue or knows of a solution?
I would also be grateful for rom recommandations with stable gps.
Thanks in advance.

Never have this issue, even if i'm a flash'a'holic and have test (too?) many ROM. Nitrogen PIE work fine. LOS 14, 15, and Unofficial 16
works fine. Resurection, Havoc, Arrow, have their own problem but works fine. OOS and OOS_OB works fine...
Maybe one your apps is in conflict with the GPS tracker, or maybe you have a hardware related issue.
