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.

I have turned on the location aware setting from the 'Settings' menu in my Samsung Focus, but still all apps including Bing Maps and Search
have difficulty in finding my current location(the latitude and longitude).
It used to work fine few days back.
I have tried resetting the phone to factory default, but still nothing happens.
How do I find if this is a hardware issue ?
How do I test if the GPS in the phone is working ?
TIA

same...worked the first time i installed wp7. now its not working anymore.
I have the same problem. When I am outdoors, I get GPS location fix in a few seconds, but when I am indoors Bing maps (even other apps) can't get my location at all. I believe indoors location should be found using cell tower positioning at least.

Hi everyone,
I have an unusual gps issue.
Yes, I am having trouble getting a lock with my GPS but only outside of google maps. I can get a lock within google maps (down to 20m) but it appears to be offset to the west about 20m...
When I try to use navigation I get a blue dot of my location. The arrow in the status bar remains grey and the gps indicator flashes. When I use gps test or gps status the gps indicator in the status bar flashes but I get 0 satelites.
I have modified my gps.conf and cleared and re-downloaded the A-gps data, I have reinstalled locations information and google maps. I have reset the phone and done a battery pull. I have tested with "Integrate Google Navigation" turned both on and off.
I am running Revolution HD 6.3.2
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Download FasterFix from market.
Needs root and busybox installed. Set your area from menu and see if improves fix.

Thanks for your input kualmente.
My device is rooted, with busy box and faster fix installed. I had already set faster fix to oceania which has done nothing to give me gps outside of google maps. I also used moified gps.config files and then modified my own to give me au servers.
So as I said, I am getting satelite fixes, just ONLY within google maps.

Can someone recommend a good gps app that doesn't rely on Google Navigation? Google maps wouldn't lock any satellites on 4.1.2 and it works even less in kit kat. My wife had a very important doctors appointment today and we almost missed it because it was the 1st time using the navigation on kit kat and to my dismay, it's still garbage!
And I refuse to play the blame game between AT&T and LG as to who is to blame and needs to fix it.
First, let it do an initial fix. Install GPS Status & Toolbox from Play (or don't, use Maps application you already have), go out, enable High precision location (if using Maps, tap on My location button) and wait for a fix. It takes around 5 minutes, if device's GPS wasn't initialised. If devices GPS was initialised but can't get a fix, I suggest installing GPS Status and check the number of available satelites.
osmand uses OpenStreetMap, so you may try with that.

Thanks zamajalo. I think that may have worked but I didn't test it by going for a drive. But I do have to go into town tomorrow so I'll test it on the road then. But so you know, it's connecting to 10 out of 22 satellites. I applied the fix from gps status but also used another app called gps fix so who knows which one did the trick....lol.

I usually have a lock on 8 to 10 satellites on open, so that's pretty much OK. If you get a location fix, there should be no more problems.
Yeah it did the location fix but it said something about it only lasting a couple days?
What exactly? I've never seen that message on my phone or others.
When it downloads the extra content for the gps fix. it gives some disclaimer about how it may only last a couple days before having to download the content again. But it doesn't matter. It didn't work. It kept dropping the gps signal every two minutes and the screen would hardly refresh and show the direction properly. It just sits on the starting screen(your starting point), tells me how far down the road to go, then drops signal, doesn't give you directions anymore, and when it finally does pick up the gps signal it takes forever for it to "recalculate" your position. Oh and losing the signal again. Did I mention losing the signal?....lol
This happened with 4.1.2 also so it leads me to believe it's not a software issue but rather a hardware issue. I:E LG sucks for gps!
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.
