Hi there all!
Since the update on the MIUI 10.3.1.0 PEEMIXM my GPS isn't working at all. Every GPS fix app I tried so far simply doesn't see any satellites in the sky. Google maps not working. It never finds any GPS whatsoever.
Anyone has similar issues?
Googled a bit but not with much info. I tried to reflash through OTA the last build without any different effect. Remove all updates from Google maps also did not solve the problem.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
David
PS: Device is a Mi Mix 3 Global version.
Something could've gotten borked in the vendor image. I would try a full fastboot. Just don't wipe data.

A full fastboot? Do I need a unlocked bootloader or something? Basically just did nothing with the Mix 3 until now, just OTA updates.
Need some more information on that full fastboot method...
I mean, I did flash other phones in the past, I just need some advice on how to start with the Mix 3.
Maybe a stupid question, but are you sure that GPS is turned on?

Yes, in the overall menu at the top (what's it called btw?) the GPS Icon is marked as blue, so "on". And in the settings it's on high precision (GPS+wifi+network).
But you're right, it behaves like it isn't on at all.
I don't have any issues with my Chinese device running Global Stable 10.3.1.0. I use Microsoft's Here maps though, which works perfectly fine.

Drove around a bit with GPS Test, it never finds anything.
Is there a easy way of rollbacking to the last version? Wanna check if the issue is still there on another version... Without voiding the guarantee.

You'd need to unlock bootloader to go back as it's got roll back protection I think
Try changing the region in settings. I faced similar issue before. It might help.

My note 3 works great, except the GPS.
Outside= no problem
Inside any building= takes 15 minutes, if it locks on at all!
My old phone has absolutely no problems in the same spot (HTC Dinc2).
Is this normal for the note 3, or should I consider a replacement?
I've tried all the "Fix-it" type apps from the playstore, with no change.
Edited: Forgot to mention that I'm still on jelly bean. Holding off on kitkat for a while.
Did anyone notice an improvement on KK, if their note had gps problems before?
Should I try a custom rom? I'm stock rooted atm.

Do a full wipe and try a custom rom. When I tried to run rooted stock my gps was putting me in a different state. Switched over to Infamous and all is right in the world again.
Download and install topNTP from the play store give it root access click install at the bottom select create files and reboot.
I use this app after every rom I flash and it gives me a gps lock in literally a couple of seconds even indoors.

Same problem here, running KK, all stock (not rooted). Lucky if I get a fix at all at times. Oddly, i've found that if I boot into recovery, do a factory reset and clear the cache, GPS works just fine till I reboot the phone. After the reboot, it reverts to the same ole GPS problems. Seems like some type of software issue to me, odd that it would exist in JB and KK though...

On kk GPS locks in less then 5 seconds on cold start

And apps like Lookout or Cerberus do much better with a good GPS signal.

From what I've read, there are different versions of the GPS module. Some work better than others.
Though that was mainly reported for the AT&T version.

Didn't they get a software update? Though IIRC, a lot of people returned their phones for a replacement with a newer radio.
I have the same problems with GPS on my unlocked n900t.
It worked in the beginning and then almost stopped. I couldn't get any satellites on the street using GoogleMaps.
I wiped all the data and installed cyanogen 11 4.4.4 ROM, after that GPS was working good during the 1st day however I was loosing the signal in San Francisco downtown among the skyscrapers. But yesterday it didn't work again at all.
I tried TopNTP but it seems it didn't help at all.
BTW NFC doesn't work on Cyanogen11 either, so I can't use GoogleWallet now.
What can I do to fix that?
Started thinking about turning to Iphone more and more
I have found the first real issue with the M8.
The GPS fails during navigation and cannot get proper lock. That meant it kept trying to recalculate routes etc...
My friends have also had same issue.
Location settings were set on the best option too. Full mobile signal and internet as well.

No problem on GPS here. I get a quick lock and it stays on.
Using Sygic.

Google navigation and TomTom both failed on different M8s.
It works for a bit, but when it goes wrong you will know about it.
I am hoping only software, but I have no idea of issues or how to fix it.
If you are rooted or unlocked, try this GPS config ... its for quick good AGPS lock before actual GPS one.

I'm not adversed to anythng BUT I have just bought a £500 plus phone. I would rather not void a warranty yet.... also some of my apps won't work on a rooted device.
I have no problem on my phone. all is ok.
GPS has been the best I've ever experienced on a smartphone. Locks quickly and accurately and the only device ever to get a decent lock inside my concrete flat.
However, yesterday the GPS failed completely whilst driving with clear view of the sky. A reboot fixed it and it was then rock solid again.
That's the only time it's done it in about a week since owning it with about 20 hours driving with it.
I'm hoping that means it's a software issue somewhere.

I can confirm that my GPS nav has been broken for about a month or more, using Waze and Google Maps
The latest System update released on 6/15/2014 has resolved the issue

Yep gonna agree works perfect with copilot. Also better than sygic imo. I also wouldn't bother with Google navigation. Better to use an offline satnav app.
I have this problem too... Doesn't seem to matter which app one are using, it also happens with my golf app... And the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone.. This is really annoying...
It seems to be related to bluetooth use... If I use BT to play music/listen to audiobook at the same time as I use the navigation app, then I have this problem.. If I turn off the BT, then the problem does not seem to appear... I am saying seem to, because it seems to be random when this occurs so not 100% sure that turning off BT fixes the problem but so far I have not had this problem when BT is off..
I also thought this was fixed in the latest update but yesterday it happend again....

Hey guys I managed to fix my GPS I changed my GPS.conf file with TopNTP to my local state (Germany) and now it takes one or two SECONDS for the GPS to find my location. And Google Maps finds me now also, one or two seconds (location setting is to only device) and its very accurate. You can try it at your own.

This wont help at all in overall performance. I think all we need is to change our gps pool to a country/region specific one. Horribly inaccurate tracking after i tried this. Makes loops etc.
OK. After testing stock settings again, you really can say that this improves GPS. It doesnt matter that its more inaccurate than on stock because stock gets a lock for 1-2kms on 10km bike rides. Sometimes it doesnt get it at all, and sometimes it tracks the whole route. My Nokia 6220classic had perfect gps... I guess Huawei doesnt like to pay for patents. I use sports tracker, but Maps has the same problems with GPS navigation.
Do I just have to accept that I just have managed to buy a no-gps android-phone again? My last one was GS, which had flawed design considering gps - although it still has way better gps with Cyanogen mod than p6. Navigation unusable on both, but GS had good enough reception for sports tracking apps.
I was having slow and unstable GPS lock on T-mobile USA, but using the default settings in TopNTP I'm getting much better GPS performance. I think it's highly dependent on what country you're in.
Its way better but still horrible compared to G2 (or old 6220c). Applied it again and got rid of the loop issue.
TopNTP didn't work for me, unfortunately. I still have to wait a considerable amount of time for GPS to fix location.
The GPS is incredibly even worse than on Samsung Galaxy S i9000. And on top of that theres a software glitch which makes the GPS to go off until reboot. Today I had to do a factory reset to get it work on maps and other apps as it just wouldnt turn on. On the plus side, now i got a fix on every attempt when i was outside in under 20s.
Im just angry because not one review mentioned this poor gps-performance. And that means no reviewer is to be trusted. Galaxy s gets a fix inside my apartment and it has a well know hardware issue with gps-antenna. Why did they have to copy every aspect of iphone4? Just copy the looks and fix antenna issues. If the HTC one lookalike from Huawei has the same problems as the original, i'd really look into the possibility of corporate espionage .

Hello,
I´ve a problem with my lovely smartwatch 3 - google now cards are not shown, even after a reset of the watch. I´m not sure but can the "problem" be the latest google app update on smartphone? I´ve done a wipe for 2 times but nothing changes. Google App is running version 5.11.27.19, latest one afaik.
Greetings,

The same thing has happened to me as well since around 4 days ago.
I've tried re-installing the firmware via PC Companion, but that didn't help, so I tried pairing with another phone and it still doesn't work. I'm not sure where the problem is.
Did you try to reinstall the android wear app on your phone and enable notifications? That is all I can think of.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I've already tried that as well and no joy. :crying:
The strange thing is that I get some Google cards, such as traffic time to home, etc. but I'm not getting the weather and stock info that I used to get all the time. (The cards do appear on my phone without issues.)
I´ve been having this "problem" ever since my phone updated to android 6.... I´m starting to think it might have something to do with that...

I've tested the watch on two phones, one is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SC-04E variant) running 5.0.1 and the other is a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (SO-02G variant) running 5.0.2. so I don't think the problem is related to Android OS version.
Hopefully, the upcoming Android Wear firmware update will fix the issue.
N.B. Both phones are running stock firmware with no root.
My watch just showed me de card with stocks and weather.... But just as a regular notification card, no swiping left...
So I have been having issues with my Note 10+ ever since I've upgraded to Android 10. Did pretty much everything from a reset to a factory reset and delete amd still having issues with smartlock. I have it set to a few devices like my work van, earbuds ,beats and home. I keep getting asked to unlock it when hooked up to any of the devices or at home. Also I've tried to update and delete each one but it still is not working. Even I have ticked when on body.
Wondering if anyone has had same or similar issues with Smartlock?

Yes!! I thought maybe it was something I had done myself. I have mine set the same as you, buds, UE Megaboom3, work and home and it asks me about 90% of the time to unlock using fingerprint or pin when connected or at these locations...very frustrating. Used to work flawlessly before Android10. I thought it was because I was using Nova launcher but haven't tested stock launcher.

Yep, same exact issue, nothing in smart Lock works for me. Not trusted devices or trusted places. It's just useless. I have resorted to using bixby routines to keep the phone unlocked in trusted places and it seems to work way better than trusted places ever did. But the trusted devices thing is still irritating.
Edit: Just wanted to add this is on numerous Note 10 pluses (always want to try out different. Colors and special editions, lol) and ever since installing the first beta version of Android 10.

On Android 9 smart Lock worked better than it did on any of my pixel phones which was refreshing. Location and device both worked flawlessly. But not any more unfortunately.
