Xperia ZL/ZQ PROBLEMA GPS
Xperia ZL / ZQ PROBLEM GPS
Hello. I am Brazilian and I have a Xperia ZL / ZQ.
My Z3 Compact burned the plate and ended up getting a ZL (ZQ).
Although old, the Cell is great. I like very much.
But not my GPS Works. Not fixed. is looking for GPS satellites, is not it. Li that is a trivial problem with this model. I've changed the ROOM. Already downloaded several applications and solved nothing. I wonder if anyone has a solution for this?
If I posted in the wrong place, excuse me.
Enable wifi and all other proximity location services. If it still not works, factory reset. If it still not works, hardware problem
How we can solve hadware problem. I have the same problem too. I open de phone to see if something is wrong but I don´t see anything. Where are the GPS Antenna. I don´t get nothing explane anything.
thanks
I have the same problem. can i change the gps antenna?
i have intermittent problem. Can someone tell me where the gps antenna is ?

Anyone?
Dowload a program like GPS test from the play store and see if you can tell more about the problem. Any sats showing at all? Etc.
Certainly it is not a normal problem, normally it locks in seconds.
Wellllll i downloaded this app "GPS status" and i think it fixed my GPS nice !!! :good:
mine has the same problem with GPS. The issue occurs randomly. I have tried using some GPS test apps and they showed some satellites over my location but my ZL didn't get any signal from them, that's why ZL couldn't lock my location
Other times I tried again and it worked like nothing had happened. This issue happened before the 4.2 update, so I guess the update doesn't solve any thing regarding GPS issue
My ZL work a bit better when im outside my house. and when i get inside the accuracy really sucks........

yeah, we all know that it works best outside rather than inside. However, my ZL has problem with GPS even when I stand outside.
Today I ran the GPS test app while driving from work to home, it didn't lock my location, even once. It was frustrating for me
Well I also have GPS locking issues... It simply refuses to lock on to sats.. I used GPS status but it didn't solved the problem either. It shows abt 20 sats but the accuracy sucks Sky high...
But i got a solution... If I restart the phone then it locks real quick...
Hit thanks if I helped u
yehh I normally use Waze when driving... but on this ZL it seems not to lock my location :S........ is this hardware or software since many are having this issue :/
marks feresu
I have tried reboot, re-install the firmware but it just doesn't work for me.
I sent it to Sony once and when i got back, I was so happy that it worked instantly but it only lasted in few days and the issue occurs again till now.
I'm not sure if it is a problem of hardware or software either
I have noticed when using compass apps that the compass reports random or incorrect values. It is random. I tried the figure of 8 calibration to no success. After checking the compass test in the service menu, the hardware seems fine. It looks like a software issue. Can anyone else using c1905 confirm this? Firmware 15.1.c.1.17
Xperia m is a fantastic phone imo. Just this problem. I haven't rooted or unlocked boot loader.

I have big problems with Xperia M accelerometer and compass... my phone, as yours, reports random or incorrect values from the compass (even in the service menu) and the accelerometer seems "vibrating", it shows close values very quickly!

I have checked my compass after updating to 15.1.c.1.28
My compass only reports yaw values 180 through 200
According to my phone,
North=180
West=190
Est=190
South=200
This is only after the update though. This further backs up my theory that it is a software issue.
GPS is really quick to find a fix, but in Google Maps, I keeps wondering randomly. It's not even snapping to roads.It's just floating around some random spaces of land.
My compass doesn't work either. I've tried calibration using GPS Status.
Anyone else have these issues?
Not rooted, everything stock
I do find the gps problem in mine too. For me it even takes time to get the gps locked (~1 min)

I have problems with compass and accelerometer too. They work randomly and they often don't report the right values!

After upgrading firmware(sony official), My compass is now even worse. GPS improved. No problems with accelerometer.
Sad
I have problems aswell with my GPS + Compass.
It's really annoying since i'm playing Ingress.

4.3 is an improvement. You have to calibrate before every use, but it did work for me. I'm back to 4.1 for the battery life and wanting to root.

Hello!
I flashed Romaur on my z1 compact. I noticed that sometimes when i put my finger on the screen, the z1 does automatically touches multiple times.
I tried to solve it with wipeing and flashing romaur again but nothing changed.
i uploaded a youtube video of this problem. SEARCH FOR "VID 20140602 181025" IN YOUTUBE (Im not allowed to post links)
(At the video i use xperia/aosp but without this the problem is the same..)
I hope you have an idea whats the problem..
Do you think its more a software or hardware problem?
Thank you
Edit: I tried it in Recovery and theres the same Problem Search in youtube for "VID 20140602 183542"
So its a Hardware Problem? Shoul I contact Sony Support?
Hi,
I do have the same problem on stock ROM.
Go to service centre, it is hardware defect..

My problem is, Using BT-Headsets is not possible: I can connect them and use them, but the connection seems to be bad and it´s not possible to really use it.
Is there any fix on Lollipop 5.1.1 vor Z1C?
Edit: solved. Installed an app "Xperia Bluetooth Media Fix".
Can be found in Google Play store.
Edit: unsolved: Seems I just had a lucky day yesterday. Today I´m facing the bluetooth problems again.

He posted an EDIT at the bottom of the post
I am having the exact same problem, and that terrible fix they posted on google play is a pointless joke. I have a pair of blueant pumps that work just fine with my old xperia play, I actually upgraded the Z1 compact to lollipop hoping it would fix the intermittent audio cutting-out issue. NOPE! the fix loads your Bluetooth, then kills it then loads the fix every damned time you boot your headphones, they couldn't be bothered to post a hotfix to the rom or a rom with the fix built into it? and it still doesn't fix the intermittent issues of the sound going out if I stick the phone in my khaki pants- yes super thin and it still cuts out- or even simply holding the phone by its bottom half it makes the sound cut out- perhaps my hands must be magical? or made of lead?absolutely unbearable to try and listen with BT I assume the bt module is some new type that is really weak=cheap or perhaps a newer incompatible version?.
so has no one else encountered this issue? I have searched for days with no answer other than the solution to dump this phone.
