For some reason and before I system update the tablet once more... Is your GPS working at all? so far I cannot lock to any satellites with GPS hardware enabled and google access turned on?! I do have the wifi location disabled do I need that enabled to make the built in GPS work?
I havent rebooted yet after initial boot and first system update and have the icon in top left corner saying there is another 55.1mb update...
everyone elses gps working without wifi location enabled?
i think enabling wifi allows gps to get a more accurate single by pinging the access points but it should still work with wifi disabled.

Powered off tablet and back on, finally got a gps icon searching, didnt find satellites at my desk where my galaxy s3 and sero 7 pro tablet get 9-17 locks..
Went by window and got 3 satellites not locked. quit gps status tried gps test and the gps icon is gone again and gps wont come on although its enabled. What gives? defective nexus 7? anyone else with same or similar issues?
No issues, using gps test, it locked on within 15 seconds or so, 12 of 17 sats. indoors.
Got it working finally, took awhile... Had to follow the directions here:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/q24Cq4sQAtc
did not update maps from the stock one installed already.. went by window waiting 2 minutes and it finally downloaded AGPS data and finally saw 19 sats and locked on to 6-10 of them.. Now when I test with GPSTEST and GPS STATUS and MAPS everything is working like it should and it finds my location in about 15 seconds or so and its dead on 3-5 meters in MAPS and pointing correct direction for magnetometer sensor inside..
So if anyone else has issues try the instructions above!

Knock on Wood, I think I got the gps problems nipped in the butt!
I had to reset the tablet from system settings after having both updates installed, when setting up tablet (initial boot) enable all location stuff except for the new android 4.3 wifi location while off option.. Also make sure to disable backup and restore options while doing the initial install.
Now so far GPS has been working steadily ever since first initial boot, no need to reset and power up again and after trying it for an hour all gps apps back and forth its still finding signal sometimes instant sometimes 20 seconds or so but no issues like before this time...
Working like it should now! I guess a hard reset after all updates was needed to reconfigure things!

WiFi allows a quick load of the agps almanac data. Without it, it may take several minutes with a clear sky view to get a complete load of the satellite almanac once loaded, it should be good for a rapid fix for several days. If used often enough, it will keep the almanac current and always get a fix within seconds..
Hi,
I have a GPS issue.
I purchased the P6 2 weeks ago.
It takes the GPS a long time (15 minutes) to get a fix on my location.
I have now upgraded to firmware b111 hoping it will help but it did not.
I have searched the internet to find more information and it seems that NEXUS users on JellyBean 4.2 had a similar issue that was eventually fixed by a firmware upgrade. Also I found other phones (such as Samsung SII) that once upgraded to 4.2.2 had the same issue (one of them even posted on h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203367)
I have also found several complaints from P6 users suffering from long delay times until GPS gets a fix.
I have installed App called GPSTest on this P6 as well as on a different Andriod phone that I own.
holding both phones I activated the GPS and started the GPSTest App.
The App showed that the P6 is 'seeing' less GPS satellites and that the signal strength from the satellites is received as weaker on the P6.
I have sent a email to Huawei to notify them of the issue,
I urge anyone suffering from the same issue to do the same a post the Fault information on:
h**p://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email
If any one knows how to fix it please post it.

I've reported to Huawei on this issue on their facebook but no reply from them.
You may try get this App from Play Store GPS Status - Test & Fix.
It works for me. I can get my location within 10 seconds now.:good:
I had a problem with the GPS initially on my P6. I would find that turning the 'phone off (power down) and then back on again would cure this until the next time I wanted to use the GPS when I'd have to turn it off (power down) and on again.
I didn't seem to suffer from this problem after upgrading to firmware 107 (from 105) but by then, Co-Pilot Live had also had an update so it was possible that either one of the updates cured my problems.
me too , i have problem with GPS , when i install some GPS program Sygic or IGO or NAVIGON , for first time work and when i turn again ... no gps signal no nothing ... Only work GoogleMaps ... i dont know why.... someone with my problem ?
Try B118 leaked rom.
I have the same problem with GPS getting a fix. I downloaded GPS info from Play sore and i get a fix in a few seconds. Very good app
Guys am recommending do not install latest gmaps ..! They SUCKS ! Just uninstall and it will uninstall just update .. older version will be still there..

I've been having this issue since I bought my P6: GPS radio literally dies, when you try opening any app using GPS that little dot with a circle in the notification panel's left corner fails to blink. I tried factory reset, b111, b118, GPS fix, gpstest and some others. GPS was back after trying some of this methods, but erratically.
This morning it was dead again and none of above worked. After reading some threads about this issue I read one mentioning that turning it off for a while worked for him. I did, and it worked. I suspect it is an overheat issue.

It happens to me as well that I need to switch off the phone and on it back to get my GPS work again.
But it's still slow. Sometime need 3 to 5 minutes or forever.

there is NO problem with gps but with google maps !!! u have to uninstall latest maps and install old ones like few months old maps .. it works great on my p6 .. gps lockig takes one minute or less
It's Google Maps
It's true.
The GPS receiver is fine. It's the latest updates of GoogleMaps that's causing all that.
After removing the updates, I had no problems getting a quick fix (pardon the pun).

Not entirely true. I had severe issues trying to get GPS fix with Ingress, so much so that it was unplayable. If you read the other literature it is definitely not only Gmaps.
Hi, I'm in B122 and i've fixed mi slow GPS start problem, using a little free app named "GPS status & fix"...

I'm on B118. Decent GPS lock-on speed (within a few minutes, outside).
But after using TopNTP, now it's within 10 seconds. Even inside my apartment. I tried a few different profiles until I hit the one giving me this fastest lockon.

From what I recall, the GPS symbol only shows when you are in the app that's using it. For example, when you are in Gmaps or Navigation you will see the GPS symbol blinking in notification bar. However, when you are at the homescreen, the GPS symbol disappears. Once you go back to the app, you should see the GPS blink again. BTW what firmware are you on?
At least you get some gps signal. I tried using TopNTP, GPS fix, GPS status, but nothing works on B125. D:
Hello,
I installed the touchwized version of the CM10.1 by cup_cake (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365885&page=11)
The ROM works great with the exception of the GPS which is now not working, if I use an app. to display the satellites available it will display 4 or 5 satellites but it will never get a fix.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks,
Can anybody help me with this please?....
I'm experiencing the same!
GPS was working fine with CM 7.2, but after installing a new CM 10.1 ROM the GPS fix takes literally ages, if it works at all. The Galaxy Nexus, for comparison, finds enough satellites for a fix within seconds, when the latest stock ROM (4.2.1) is installed.
Any ideas where to start?
I had the same issue on my Wildfire S running Owl Project's Jellybean CyanogenMod 10,1
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283549)
GPS did not lock even after half an hour, it only drained battery. But I tried this thing:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447593)
One of these flashable ZIPs made the GPS find satellites. The coordinates it gives me are off about 200 kilometers from my actual location but at least it locked, at least there is some progress. I am still trying to figure out how to make GPS show me my actual location and not some asshole place I've never been to.
But some others said it worked like charm for them, maybe it will for you, too.
Hey Shisco!
Currently I'm using TopNTP (you can find it in the Play Store), an app from the thread opener of your link. It does the same as the zip files there, but gives you the option to adopt the gps.conf settings to your needs. Give it a try, because IMHO this app improves GPS a little bit.
Okay, the problem just disappeared by itself When on the move, more satellites appeared and GPS coordinates were now exact. The patch worked in the end I just had to give it some time
Same here, but it sometimes sucks to wait that long. Under CM 7 the GPS fix was much faster.
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???
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

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
