GPS problems

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?

Freezing during run.

I've been using Ghostrace with a Polar H7 and Jaybird Bluebud X headphones. While running and listening to offline Google Play music, about 30-40 minutes into my run, the songs start to get cut short and a new one starts, then, eventually, everything freezes and I have to reset by holding the button. My ghostrace logs are recovered and I am able to get all my stats, but they are broken and not very useful. Also, doing this 3-4 times during a long run is REALLY counter productive. My songs, even from the beginning of a run, seem to not finish completely before it moves on to the next one. It is rather annoying when you are expecting your song to continue and it just stops mid way and a new one starts.
I've done a factory reset and re-downloaded all my music and it still seems to be happening. A
Any suggestions?

Getting worse now. Can only run about 10-15 minutes and it starts to happen and then freezes. Factory reset watch. Cleared cache on phone and redownloaded and installed everything. Still happening.

Hi, just trying to figure out whats causing this bug, though yours sounds different in that you have to reset. I've seen other reports of it just resetting on its own.
Anyway, what version of Ghostracer do you have? You can see on the watch, on the 3rd page down. Just wanting to find out if its a new problem I've created or if its something to do with the google play update the last month.
Cheers
Craig

Don't really have a problem with Ghostracer. It seems to work fine. It appears to be a bluetooth issue (leaning this way since I started experiencing issues transferring files from my phone occasionally) or google play music issue since many times I haven't been using Ghostracer when the issue occurs.

Is it possible that sweat is the culprit? I have heard of people having problems with sweat during their runs messing up their SW3 - that's because although the SW3 is water-resistant, that applies to fresh water only, not salt-water like sweat. Try running with a sweat band under your watch and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for your info Colinmb, I was going crazy thinking I had broken something in the latest beta. So it looks like its a bluetooth problem created in the last update of the wear app/google play update, which came out around the 7th of November I think. Might make a post on the Sony site, see if anyone cares.

Problem solved with latest Google Play Services update.

Google maps navigation is lagging

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with the navigation with Google maps on my Huawei Watch in combination with my Xperia Z3. When I open maps without navigating somewhere, the map shows my location and is scrolling more or less in real-time.
As soon as I start navigating, the map does not show my location in real-time anymore. Every 10 seconds the map gets updated and in between nothing happens or moves.
Is do not expect this to be a feature so I suppose something is not working properly.
I have already tried to factory reset the watch and re-sync apps. Did not help. Maps on the smartphone is working flawlessly.
Does anybody else have this problem?

I think it just work that way. Annoying.

Just a thought, have you tried using the android app 1.3? I know calls are delayed with the 1.4 app update and have read that 1.3apk will work. I personally haven't tried it, but it's worth a shot. Check to see if the apk will work below...

As far as I know navigation on watch is depending on two factors:
1. Bluetooth connection between phone and watch
2. The position of the phone becoause the gps function is performed by the phone, not the watch.
So, please try to keep your phone in a good position to "see" the sky AND close to your watch.

My Watch is lagging everywhere..
Force close 2/3 times a day..
every day at least 1 time is not reconnecting to the phone..
Any clue?

I have the same problem!

I cant even use maps on my huawei watch because it rotates all the time.

I have tried everything but cannot get maps to work smooth in navigation mode. I will wait for firmware 1.4. Hope it will fix it.

It just does not work. commands are not communicated on time to be aware about direction. For car it is useless. Maybe if you walk it is fast enough, but i don't find it useful.

Touchscreen freeze

Hello !
I made the march update yesterday, and now my touchscreen freezes if I don't use it for a few seconds. To make it work again, I have to lock/unlock the phone, or to tap the screen until it works.
It's probably a software issue, because it happenned just after the update. Does someone have the same problem ?

I'm having the same problem. It's the right 3rd of the screen that becomes unresponsive. If you swipe over on the left side of the screen, you will be able to use the right side again. This is my second day with this and it's becoming incredibly annoying.

I just realised it ! For me, the only responsive part is the left 4th of the screen. I hope Google Will fix it soon. I don't want to reset my phone.

I'm not seeing this issue... how long is it taking to freeze? also what are you guys running? stock or stock rooted?

I'm running stock. If you wait 5 seconds after the scroll bar vanishes, the right side of the screen is unresponsive. If you swipe the left side, it works again. It's really a problem when I'm doing remote desktop to my computer and when I'm playing candy crush.

You should post any post March update issues you are having, here. https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/nexus/other-discussions/2HXGtYoPwa4

I'm running stock too. It takes aproximately 6 seconds for the touchscreen to freeze.

I just tried to reboot in safe mode : it doesn't solve the problem.

Does it happen in recovery or bootloader?

I just received the update this afternoon and I'm encountering the same issue. Quite frustrating.

I got my Nexus 5X yesterday with exactly the same issue.. Flashing any older factory image did not help. :/

I wonder if opting in to the Android N beta would have any effect. Not sure I'm ready to commit to running beta on my only phone; but I am tempted.

On my phone the problem existed on stock rom (I tried 3 drifferent versions), cm13 and N preview. I do not think that flashing any other Rom would make any difference.

Appreciate the information on your experience. Hopefully this is something Google can track down and is correctable in software.

Exact same issue for me since MHC19J. This is driving me nuts.

I've tried all versions except a full CM ROM. So stock, beta, and a few different AOSP builds. I cannot reproduce any screen issues being reported here.
Is there maybe a common app that you all share? No one has mentioned whether you are rooted or not.

the best example: Open Wifi Analyzer (in Listview) wait for results and the tap the "Back" Button. (not taping or swayping around during the wifi scan process).
Open Wifi-Analyzer (Listview) wait for result and tap the Backbutton. It took 34 seconds and 34 tapps on the backbutton until the screen turns off, but no reaction until i activate the screen.
Nexus 5X
Stock
Build MHC19J; OTA
No Root Access
for me it's beginnig on entering the SIM-PIN. It takes a few tries to enter my PIN.
Sometimes it's the Back-Button (Back - Menu - Switching Apps)
And it seems to be on the left side of the screen

I'm running stock without root.
Reviewing the previous posters list of apps, the only things I have in common are the standard Google apps.

Stock without root.
The issue is still there even when rebooting in safe mode, so it seems to be unrelated to any installed app.
Time to RMA I guess.
Edit:
Just read this in a reddit thread:
Update: I've managed to fix my issue by reverting back to a 6.0.0 build and formatting the cache,system, and userdata using the fastboot tool during the new rom install.

Same issues here.. Just found that thread.. Got my phone yesterday and thought it might be a hardware issues and thinking of shipping it back.. But now..
Tried newest factory image unrooted, CM13, Bliss, DU every single ROM has it.
It also appears directly after bootloader I think, where you can lock your Phone before booting the real ROM.. It's a pain in the ass!

I have this too on my wife's phone. My 5x is fine. March update caused the right side of screen to go dead to touches after 6 seconds of non use...
So annoying ..

Z Play apps stop unless they are on screen

Bought this phone new from Best Buy. Ever since I've had it apps will randomly stop running unless I currently have them open on my screen. Messaging and maps mostly. I've tried different messaging apps and it's the same with all of them. I usually receive a bunch of messages whenever I open my app but I hardly receive them on time. If I'm using maps navigation and switch to another app on screen, the navigation will stop after 30 seconds or so. I've gone through every phone and app setting that I can think of. Also wiped cache (dalvik included) and I'm getting the same results. Any ideas?
