Hi guys.
I have a Z3 and a Smartwatch 3 both stock (Lollopop on both), no root no nothing. Everything is updated to Google Play latest release.
Until yesterday when I activated the Google Maps navigation on the phone I had visual and vibration indication on the wacth at every turn.
Now only visual (a card). I have done a factory reset the watch but no luck.
Any idea?
Many thanks!!
Antonio
Anyone?
Getting very frustrated...:crying:
BUMP!!

Hey everyone,
I have been perusing this site for a a couple of months now and have learned quite a bit.
I installed the Bing app to my phone recently and it worked great. The routes were stable and the street-by street voice command worked awesome.
Yesterday, I decided to install a newer version of googlemaps, and i think its affect the performance of my Bing navigation. It no longer speaks the street names only when to turn. Also the GPS seems glitchy as it would reroute me when i am going the right way.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Google Maps shouldn't affect Bing in any way. Both co-exist on my phone just fine.
Have you tried just soft resetting the phone (power off then on again). Maybe try uninstalling Bing, and re-installing it?
thanks for the quick reply. It was working fine until i installed the newer verison of googlemaps. I want my turn by turn directiosn to include street names!!
Ill try what you suggested.
Thanks
Begin this month, after I came back from a holiday, I suddenly got problems with my GPS.
First I thought it was due to the Google Play Services upgraded to 5.0.84.
The past few days I re-installed multiple times my Xperia ZL (C6503).
When the issues began, I had the Ultimate PureXZL v2 installed. First I reinstalled it, updated all apps. Same problem. Sometimes I got a GPS lock, but after a while I lost it. I used Google Maps, Navigon and a anti radar app Avertinoo. All without luck.
I did a rollback to Xperia ZL (C6503)_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic DE.ftf, rooted it and upgraded to 10.4.1.B.0.101. Installed Xposed framework and Gravitybox. But the next morning again, no luck to get a lock.
Yesterday I installed C6503_10.5.A.0.230_Commercial_and_Journalists.ftf, rooted , installed Xposed framework and Gravitybox. But the next morning again, no luck to get a lock. Even went in the service menu, and also no luck there with the GPS
Today a clean C6503_10.5.A.0.230_Commercial_and_Journalists.ftf, no root and kept all apps at the version coming with the rom (included Google Play Services, Google Maps). Same problem. I installed GPS Status and GPS test. And there I noticed a problem with the compass. it keeps rotating (YAW). Went in the service menu, and also there I have the compass going nuts.
Exactly like this one.
Did multiply calibrations, sometimes it works for a couple of minutes.
I don't know if it's hardware related or not. Tomorrow I try again stock 10.4.1.B.0.101 not rooted and bootloader locked. After that I'm finished with this phone, after IR blaster not learning codes, dead battery and black dots on the photos this would be the fourth problem on this phone...
Oké I think I found the cause of the problem ... FACEBOOK MESSENGER !
After a lot of trials and re-installs I discovered yesterday that the compass problem starts every-time I did use Facebook Messenger to send a message. Since by default my messages contains my location I thought it could be related. So turned of location in Facebook Messenger, restarted my Phone and since then the compass is no longer going nuts, and GPS is working fine again.
I have to specify that I'm using beta versions of Facebook Messenger. .
I got strange GPS behaviour with my new OnePlus 3.
Symptoms:
1. Google Apps (like Maps or Fit) won't use GPS to determine the position. This is checked by GPS Status & Toolbox. If I start GPS Status & Toolbox by itself it directly hits up GPS. Same with non Google apps like HERE or EXIF Location Tags in photoapps.
2. When I start navigation on Google Maps it starts using GPS. When I stop it, GPS usage stops too.
3. When I force Google Play Services to stop everything works flawless. Maps and Fit start using GPS as it should be. After restarting the phone, Google Play Services is back up and same issues occur as stated above.
Tried with newest CB, 3.2.4 and Resurrection Remix (BJRR). My Google Play Services is 9.8.77 but I already tried older versions without success. I googled this problem, found something similar in google product forums (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/maps/l-YG1DB8jyQ) without solution.
Somebody know this problem or has any suggestions?
I know I have had a similar issue with my phone (Stock updated OOS rooted w/TWRP and Xposed) rebooting all the time during navigation, random loss of GPS-based location and being forced to reboot to bring it back, etc. I've had no issue with the rest of Google Apps, though.
Hey everyone.
since today some apps have gps issues (app for local traffic, waze navigation, German Weather Service=
Google Maps App and German Railways works fine.
Google Maps opened in Firefox does not neither.
Checked with the app GPS Status from the app store but ist not getting any position.
Anyone have the same issues or maybe a fix to this Problem?
Tried everything from Google Search (LG GPS Issues/Android GPS Issues)
Would like to prevent a fatory reset.
Phone Stats:
LG-G710EM with Android 9 and Sec Patch from 1st July.
Build Number PKQ1.181105.001

I had the same problem. A few weeks after updating to Android 9 (without factory reset) gps via hw stopped working. Reset solved it.
Had the same problem a few months back. I needed to reflash the firmware and maybe a factory reset.
Thanks. Somehow it has to be the Software. Tried something Else but only a factory reset has helped. Did it two das ago and now IT works better than before.
Anyone having gps problems? When Google maps does eventually lock on a position is seems to be miles away from where I am, it takes Google maps a good 5 minutes to actually figure out a route.
Currently on China rom 10.4.11
Works fine here. Did you give all permissions in app settings. Settings>Apps>permissions >accept all
I'm also having the same problem at the moment. But in my case gmaps doesn't even detect my position at all. Also on china rom 10.4.11.
I've enabled all permissions, change gmaps to no restrictions on battery setting, still doesn't work.
Funny thing is, waze detect my location just fine.
Any suggestions to fix this issue?
What do GPS Status apps show that you can download from Play Store (you only need free, ad-less apps). You could compare the GPS signal of this phone to other phones you have around.
I´m using a REDMI NOTE 8 PRO for 4 weeks. I´m having trouble navigation with the GPS. I tested it with Gmaps and Waze. In both, there are changes in the route without any change in the route traveled. I´ve already checked all the settings (Battery saver, precision location on Gmaps...) without sucess. Aparently the accuracy is low.
What worked for me was uninstalling maps updates, clearing maps cache. Than install gps status from Google play and from the drop down menu select manage agps and reset it . Hope it helps.
