Would like to prevent a fatory reset.

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.

Hi,
I have a Desire HD with the stock everything, and by OTA it got the 2.2 so I can't temp root now(before you ask).
One mail reason I got a smartphone was for my love of using GPS. And all was working well, but recently, since almost last one month now GPS has almost completely stopped working. Sometimes I am able to see a fix of upto 4 satellites in GPS status, but the lock never happens. I have tried:
1) GPS status with reset and fresh AGPS data
2) disabling wifi/mobile data
3) removing battery and doing factory reset
4) Ensuring there is clear sky and keeping my phone stable for upto half an hour
5) Testing with Google maps
I read the gps.conf may be the common culprit but i see that the same NTP server of north-america is being used in my brother's Wildfire and it works perfectly and gets a lock within 10 seconds! So I would say rooting just to change gps.conf may not also help me out.
What else can i check? If possible I would want not to root and if required at all, would want to do a temp root if possible to save my warranty
Please help me guys to get my GPS back on my 2.2 DHD
I have read almost every forum post/article I could find which may help me with my GPS issue but none helped me and it seems more and more people are getting this issue. The last thing I would want is to send my dear phone to service center lest they take weeks to "fix" it.
So I was experimenting with any clue I could get. AND it seems I may have stumbled upon something here!
I THINK HTC Desire HD can boot into a safe mode which would help me find if there might be abackgrund process/app hurting my GPS. So to accomplish this I rebooted my HTC, and while booting up and kept the HOME button pressed till it booted up and showed the unlock screen.
GPS Status too about 5 mins but found 6 satellites and locked!!!
Not believeing what I was seeing, I started google maps, and within 5 seconds it locked on to 10 meter accuracy!!
2 questions now
1) Had I actually booted into safe mode, if not what happened here
2) If this was really about something interfering with my GPS, then which server/app is it? How to investigate?
I went into running services and found these running:
astrid backupservice
jbedvmnorunning service
calendar obexservice
htcsense immediatemodeservice
htcsense dashboardsvc
google cloud to device
google messaging
media
sound sdmsvc
cspeoplesync
google maps networklocation
market alarm
mail easappsync
touch input svc
Other 71 mb in 4, avail 247+241 in 43
I will try to find next day what services are running in regular boot, if gps stops working again
If this works for anybody else too, please comment as then we can try investigate together
Well, it turned out that my GPS working was more of a fluke. Didn't work again after that :'(
Not sure what else to try as I do not wish to take as I am not at all comfortable flashing etc. my phone just to make GPS work
hope this solves your problem

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try FastFix from the market, its a free app, but i think it needs root access
alternatively, you can look in this thread, this helped many

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. .
Hi,
the past Sunday I was biking, as I usually do those days, but the tracking app I use can't get the loc in any moment of the ride. I thought it possibly was a sporadic problem, but I've tried many times with many GPS apps: gps status, google maps, endomondo with no luck. Then I expected it was a rom problem, so I changed it to a lollypop rom (blisspop) from StØck ROM Sense 5. But the GPS apps still fails to get my actual position. No sats were found, the agps data is correctly downloaded.
Is my GPS dead? How can I know it?
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.
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.
