Hi guys,
Trying to figure out if this is just me that has this issue. New nexus as of yesterday on o2. I do have the volume issue for what its worth, but I am getting off topic.
I have been having a problem with the GPS. I have tried it indoors and out. I have restarted the app, cleared cache, re-ticked all the location boxes, and nothing seems to help my get a lock. The closest it comes is about 4700 metres. This is with WiFi turned on as well as an active Sim card in it. My old iPhone without a sim instantly drops the pin on my house. So I guess I am trying to see if others have the issue, and if there is a fix or I have to send it back.
For the record I am pretty new to Android....as in this is my first one, so go gently! Other than this issue I love the phone!
Cheers,
J

That definitely does not seem normal. See if you can replicate the problem in a less built-up area. But at the moment, if I were having the same problem (which I'm not, I get great GPS reception) I would take it back for a replacement.
Hope you get it all sorted.

Well I live in the country side, so that hopefully is not the issue. I turned wifi off and it made zero difference, so it looks like something with the GPS.......
I just tried the GPS app in the market called GPS Test
It says that GPS is on, but it can't find me. Bad sign.
I tried the GPS test app from the market too the other day and it didn't locate any satellites. I think it's a problem with that app itself. No need to panic yet.

I've been suffering from the same problem. I'm used to the GPS icon on the SGS2 showing me a (blinking) dot in the GPS icon. But now nothing.
GPS test app also shows it's on. I'm going to try the GPS out a bit more, but have the feeling somethings up with the GPS.
Using the Wi-fi it's working 'fine'. But I don't feel like sharing info while using this feature.
The captivate had a very similar problem when it came out. Not sure if it ever got fixed. But ultimately that's why I turned my captivate back in.
If you are in the country with no wifi around then I wouldnt expect wifi location to do you any good. Still though, it should locate much better than what it is. I'm in Afghanistan, in the middle of no where and mine locks while only using GPS to within like 30 meters.
original SGS line of phones were famous for their "awesome GPS"
no, it never got fixed because it was a hardware issue...
I'm having the same problem. I'm constantly unable to find my location using GPS. Wi-Fi and mobile networks work but this surely needs to be fixed.
GPS seemed to work after my little trip outside. Sadly as soon as I got back in, nothing. I'll be able to do some 'proper field testing' tomorrow.

GPS normally does not work well indoors.
I know but because I managed to get a location with the GPS on the SGS2, even if it took a while.
I was hoping for similar results (or better) with the GN.
GPS on my GN isn't working at all. Unless Wi-Fi and mobile network location is ticked, the phone can't find my location with GPS. Argh.
Have you tried any GPS apps to see if it's just bad reception from the satellites? That's one way to find out what's going on with the GPS on the phone.
My GPS locks almost instantly, and this is without a SIM card, and in Manhattan with tall buildings blocking most of the satellites. Much faster than with my N1.
no problems here.fastest phone ever with gps and i got 10 phones around 3 years with the function.
sitting in my room on the couch in the second floor.WiFi of only 2G network
and got within 5 to 7 sec a gps fix about 10 meters.
I reapeat,... in my house!not on the street or on the window!
sitting in front of my tv
never got a phone who can give me a signal in my house
my GPS also seems to work fine but during tracking it always goes off lock and relocks
and it bounces on corners like a gummybear

Sounds like I am not the only one having GPS issues with my HAM. I have tried pretty much everything to improve things but with little or no success. Just to be clear I am talking about GPS locking and accuracy not AGPS (mobile tower) or WIFI based location which seem to work fine.
Hopefully this thread will get noticed by HUAWEI and they will fix the problem which in my case is :
Inconsistent GPS locking, sometimes it locks on pretty quick < 1min other times the GPS icon in the notification bar just keep flashing.
Inaccurate GPS location when it does lock with the position jumping around.
Location and heading changes when stationary which are probably related. Looks like internal compass maybe buggy or is not getting used.
I very dependent on GoogleMap and its Navigator which is where the above issues have been identified. I tried Waze which seems to dampen the location and direction jumping a bit but the initial lock was still a problem.
Same issues in B906 and B907 roms, haven't tried B221 (trying it next but it looks like others experienced the same with this rom)
Tried:
GPS Status and Toolbox - no difference
GPS Fix - no difference
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1563226 - Used Method 2 and with SSL as suggested by member svvv - Improved AGPS and WIFI based location lock but didn't help with the GPS
Never had this problem with any of my previous 4 Androids and even my old Windows Phone worked flawlessly. Maybe its something to do with my HAM being a Chinese model and it also having GLONASS which has better coverage in the northern hemisphere. Will see if I can set it to just use just the US GPS system in the build.prop.
Its a shame that Huawei stuffed the GPS on the HAM, it would be my perfect phone otherwise, if I can't get it going reliably it will be the Galaxy Mega for me as much as I hate Touch Wiz......

If ur AGPS is working fine eventually ur GPS should work fine. AGPS will use network to locate the GPS satellites.
try changing AGPS settings in the Ascend Mate secret menu *#*#2846579159#*#* under backgroundsetting
Thanks Svvv, will see what options come up. GPS usually eventually locks but it's never that accurate. Will A GPS improve this?

AGPS wont be that accurate as GPS...but whenever mobile cant fix a position with GPS satellites it goes for AGPS until GPS becomes active. U will not see any difference in the navigation.
Also try using GPS in the open skies mostly u wont get a fix inside a house or closed areas.
Thanks Svvv, that's what I found. Still can't believe Huawei couldn't get this right, even my wife's $50 ZTE's gps works like a dream. Searching through the P6 forums shows similar problems, not surprising given the similar hardware. I'm starting too suspect it's a hardware problem, maybe antenna related so I'm not confident of a software fix. Spent far top much time on this and I need accurate navigation so it's so long HAM. It's a shame, great phone otherwise, going too miss the battery life.....

GPS update. Tried B221 for a week but GPS issues were the same, positional accuracy was seemed slightly worse.
Rom was more stable than b907 though, no random reboots or system freezes bit b907 has better functionality. Very jealous of my wife's nexus 5, can't tell you how good the hardware and software is. A absolute bargain!
Can't go back to a small screen though, fingers crossed we see a nexus 6 to bridge the gap

since i dont quiet use gps in phones (i'm using other gps only gadget) i'm sure there must be something missing in the HAM that prevent it having good GPS signal/system.
well, if you ever wanted to replace the HAM, still wanted the same Batt Power, big 6.1", why not go for the HAM 2 which is LTE version with many improvements over the first HAM, heard that they improve GPS too.
It is the same problem with Huwaei MT 7 - I can not believe the this company did not discover this issue in their product yet, this is what is bad about the Chinese products
Strange, all of a sudden Yesterday, it seems all the people I know with Huawei phones have no GPS (Mate 2 and P8 Lite). I checked 6 phones. Worked fine Sunday, then BOOM Yesterday (Monday) no GPS no matter what I do. Any one else having this issue? I am on Android 5.1 B322.

Wow so im not the only one that's weird I just did the upgrade to b322 Saturday so I though something screwed up there. have you seen any devs come up with a cause or solution?
I had the same experience with my ascend mate 2. Mt2lo3. GPS is laggy to an extreme. Maybe the Chinese GPS Data connection. web.omwtoday.com???
Why is it that Wi-Fi is so tied to GPS. Ever since I launch day, GPS has sucked. But I notice even if I have no Wi-Fi to connect to or even saved at all, just turning on Wi-Fi than turning it off makes GPS work correct. Is there another solution?
I was having problems with GPS signal and call Sprint customer Service and they walk me to some trouble shooting steps with no luck. Messing around with my Note4 I notice that the Network mode was set to LTE/CDMA and I changed it to Automatic. The phone reboot to apply the change and GPS is working great even with Wi-Fi turn off. Hope this Help

Thanks, but I have it a try user now and it didn't help any. Still the only thing the makes it lock on is Wi-Fi.
My gps is horrid. Can't ever get a lock indoors. (I used to be able to get dead accurate locks with my S3 in malls.) When I'm outside I keep doing this floating thing. It makes GPS maps a pain as I keep flying off the road. I also use my phone to play Ingress which is a location based CTF game. It's so unstable I'm pretty much not able to play anymore.
I'm really hoping someone is able to come out with a heavily updated mod that will help with it.
My GPS is awesome! I've owned many HTC phones, and the Note 2 an 3. The Note 4 has the best GPS on any phone I've owned.

I play Ingress too, I hope you're Resistance! I'm level 12 with enough AP for level 14 but need 1 more Gold, so I'll skip level 13 when I get that Gold. I already have 2 Onyx/black Badges and 3 Platinum, so I just need 1 more Platinum for level 16.
Anyway, Ingress is better on my Note 4 than my Note 3, Evo LTE, and 2013 Nexus 7. I suspect an issue with your GPS

I've also noticed unreliable GPS, I'm using stock rooted NK2, no xposed or any other mods. I've found often I cant get a lock at all until I reboot the phone. Hoping this is a fixable software issue.
Since I installed the first N OOS build i have issues withmy GPS,
every few seconds it lost the lock and needed a few seconds to reacquire it.
Also sometimes it does not acquire ay lock at all and need a reboot to work again.
As far as I can tell the issue happens with every android N based OxygenOS.
And also with Lineage OS 14.1
I tryed clean flashing booth and it did not change anything.
Now I flashed back to the last MM based community build and it works no lost of GPS signal, reasomably quick fix.
Does any other users also have GPS issues with N based roms on the OP3?
How can I solve the issue or at least find out whaty causing the issues?
Funny you mention this. I use my op3 for my topo maps when I hike and I have found N based roms to cause the gps to require a relocking. Also, the gps is noticeably less accurate.
Anyone got an explanation/solution?
good to herar that I'm not the only one with GPS issues.
Now the question is how to fix those?
I am also facing GPS issues since Oxygen OS 4.x.x, before that I never experienced any.
Sometimes it take 5 to 10 minutes until it finally fetches a GPS Signal but it is still very inaccurate then.
Hopefully the new OOS 4.0.3 update helps, but I doubt it since there is no mention of GPS in the release notes.
I also have this issue, the only resolution I had is to switch on WiFi scanning. After turning it on GPS has been a bit better and locks to the correct location quickly.
Sent from my OnePlus3 using XDA Labs
Ok I found out something new when I set mobile data to 2G GPS works great also on the 4.0.3 OOS ROM.
And since people complained since the start that some have issues with GPS and 4G I guess the issue really is that if some particular frequencies are used GPS suffers. Apparently something changes in N ROMs that makes the issues appear for more users.
Interestingly is that flashing Modem Firmware has no affect so the issue is in a part that is in the android kernel itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/gps-issues-t3416544
Every time I turn location on, I get the "improve location accuracy?" prompt. Every single time.
How can I stop this? Never had this before, usually goes away after one enable.
Another strange thing sometimes the GPS cant get a lock and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone.
the bew Open Beta 12 based on Android 7.1.1 seams to have resolved my GPS issue really strange
Hi - I also do have heavy problems with losses of GPS- signal at the OP3 since months. Especially while using LTE the GPS gets often lost. Since 5 weeks I am working/struggeling with the OP-support a lot - but no changes till now. @David: "Open Beta 12" has solved your problems?? what is this concrete?
i do have the problem...... from 4.0.2 updated to 4.1.1 and now Beta13, the problem still there~!!
On my phone gps signal gets lost always at the same location and when lte is active. On any other location gps works perfect. When i disable lte everything works perfect. This has happend on any rom. I think this is a hardware problem and can not be resolved. The only solution is disabling lte or using a different provider. I am using o2 in Germany, the problem does not happen with other Providers. Different Providers have different frequencies, this might be the difference between o2 and the other providers.
I do have O2-LTE too and it is "under suspicion" in Germany. But in February I was for 4 weeks in Florida and travelled a lot using navigation. The provider was AT&T - and I had very often losses of GPS-signal too.
I can confirm, that the problem happens with different ROM, but not at only one location - it happens everywhere.
But what can we do? OnePlus is working at this problem since months without a solution - and the customer with this bug really have to accept it "for zero"??
Hello @OPFan , did you get help from the support? Or could you resolve the problem?
3 months of contact - lots of bubbles - no solution
try downloading the "Gps Test "app then enable GPS and open the app and click on the 3 dots > AGPS > Clear and update

I'm having a lot of GPS issues since I've been using OPO or OP3.
I sold my OPO because of the bad GPS. Now I have the OP3.
On both phones I used custom ROM Cyanogenmod.
I sometimes had bad GPS reception, but this was fixed under Cyanogenmod doing this: Disable GPS, Disable Data, Enable Airplane mode, Disable Airplane mode, Enable Data, Enable GPS, then wait for GPS reception and start navi app.
Last week I flashed my OP3 with another ROM (AOSP) but this only made it worse!
I use my phone as car navigation daily, and while navigating, it finds GPS and it loses GPS every 5 seconds (using WAZE app). It's incredibly annoying. Using AGPS or any other "fix" found online doesn't fix the problem.
When using another navigation app, like Google nav, it's works better (because Google also uses LTE). Clearing cache or unistalling and reinstalling the WAZE app doesn't fix the problem.
Conclusion:
It is totally not related to your provider because they are working on fixed standard frequencies and I've been using the same provider on both phones.
It's also not related to the hardware only, because it was working on my OP3 under Cyanogenmod. So it should be related to the hardware driver included in the ROM.
Maybe this gives anyone an idea?

I have also GPS issues. It works well in gmaps, but it is unusable in Waze.
I thought AOSPA was causing it so I cleanflashed latest OB, but GPS issues are present there too
I'm constantly losing the GPS signal during navigation.
I've already replaced the phone two times through warranty and the mainboard got replaced each time.
The last time was just one month ago.
The problem always remained though.
The last days I could observe that this issue seems to be caused by my provider. Is this possible?
I have travelled through 4 bordering countries the last few days. The GPS worked great.
As soon as I passed the border to my country and the network switched to my home provider the GPS signal got lost shortly after and lost signal continuously frequently.
We were joking a lot about it because it happened every single time.
Is it possible that my provider's network can somehow cause theaw GPS drop outs?
Can I fix?
I'm happy about any help!
Thanks
I guess I am alone with that

Try using this app to clear or update assistance data (AGPS).
I have also found that a GPS connection is made much faster when the data is turned on.

Thank you, but unfortunately this doesn't help. I've already tried it many times.
I only have the problem in my country or rather with my provider.
I should try a friend's SIM to confirm it.
The problem really seems to be related to my mobile connection.
As soon as I turn on the airplane mode the GPS works perfectly.
Anyone got an idea what the issue may be?

Have you tried to set LTE/4G to 3G and tested?
Do you use Custom Rom?

Do You urgendly need GPS With 3G or is only GPS enough? Have you Tried only GPS?
I usually don't have offline maps and I'd like to be connected while navigating or be able to receive messages.
Besides that it's a fault that shouldn't happen with the phone. Using GPS should work without limitation.

I've being using Navigon Europe for the last 6 years. First in LG-P880 and last 2 years with G4 H815. Sometimes, but only sometimes, maybe weather, high buildings, I don't know.... I have problems with GPS.
I've use it in Poland, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Luxembourg.
My location is set for "High Accuracy" (GPS and Networks), no matter if DATA is ON or not.
Of course that when DATA is ON my location is detected almost instantly.
But if you see that network is messing with the GPS, try to limit network access on your network settings. Maybe it works.

Yes GPS should work without limitation, but if Your provider has messed something up,its his fault.
And like You said it works in other countrys so its not Your device.

Or GPS is fine but the software not... I mean, the apk might not be the best.
How can a provider mess with the GPS? The signal are where they are, not possible to shake, move them, hide them...
Maybe the lack of signal from the provider might counts concerning the maps. If the data needed to navigate is downloaded and how fast.
Also, with no data, how it's possible to use GPS without offline maps??

Use GPStest from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest and make sure you are getting enough satellites. Also with that app you can reset and retrieve the a-gps data.
Just a thought
My GPS is fine!
Stop answering my posts as if I have an issue.
Thank you
It's definitely not a faulty device since the motherboard got replaced already two times.
It's somehow an incompatibility between my provider's network and my phone's GPS.
I am using GPS test since many years and love it. It doesn't help in this case though. The GPS status there also freezes when the GPS stops working.
To answer the question how I can use navigation without data:
Google Maps caches the maps so I can use it also offline.

Install a navigation apk like "Navigon" or "CoPilot", something like that.
I know these apps but I don't want to turn off data when using GPS.
I was hoping that someone is familiar to this problem and knows a fix.

And you don't have to turn OFF data while using them.
And once again, maybe there's nothing wrong with your device or carrier, maybe the app that you're using, or how accurate and updated are the maps of a specific country.
In Portugal, there are places where the GPS goes crazy, just because of the maps.
In Poland, sometimes I'm driving on the grass. The roads where deviated but the map was not updated. So, I know that is a problem of the map because I know how the roads where before and now.
Someone who don't will say that the GPS is crazy...
BTW, in The Netherlands, 6 years ago, I use to drive over the water most part of the time :silly:
Hi,
have you found a solution to this?
I notice very similar issues now and then during road navigation, gmaps (and others previously). GPS signal repeatedly disconnects and then reconnects after a while, and velocity reading becomes 0 or odd.
I thought it was overheating, but a carrier incompatibility issue seems plausible,.
Hi!
No, unfortunately I didn't find a solution. Replacing the motherboard didn't help either. I have a new phone now and don't have the problem anymore.
