GPS Performance

Hi guys,
My GPS was working ok on this phone a couple of days ago. As in, it was definately better than my old phone (samsung galaxy s) which had notoriously bad GPS, but still took longer than my dad's galaxy tab 7.7 to get a lock on the GPS.
However, today my GPS suddenly stopped working, it doesn't lock at all even after a few minutes. I tried rebooting the phone many times already, but to no avail. Downloaded gps status from the play store. The phone sees the satallites, but just doesn't connect to them.
Anybody with this issue as well? Or even better, any solutions?
Thanks.

We'll fix that
Download GPS test from Playstore Google thing,
start the prg
hit the menu (bottom middle)
settings
clear agps ( Button top left)
the prgs confirms
update agps ( Button top right)
the prgs confirms
of course for this you need net access
now u should be fine
start the gps test and see how many birds you get.
keep us informed
cheers

Its ok depending on your zone.
I usually cruise around with 6-8. It would suck if you just had around 2 or something like that.

Thanks for your reply.
Followed what you said. The thing is, it sees the birds, but is unable to connect to them, ie. get a fix. Any ideas? Or is my gps hardware buggy. It was working fine yesterday
I see 13 birds btw

My experience with the GPS is quite different. I have no problem getting a fix. When I drive, it works OK but once I stop moving, I will lose heading and the screen starts spinning.

This is what I get from gps test.

This is with a clear view of the sky, after a few minutes. Is my hardware buggy? Itwas working fine a few days ago

I think it has to do with the tegra chipset.
Isn't the gps included in the SoC? The reason why I assume is the tegra chipset is because I was getting a similar behavior when I had my G2x which coincidentally had a tegra SoC.
It would work when it wanted to work. It didn't work all the time though, it was a hit and miss.
So when I got my Sensation I was super happy with the GPS since it connects everytime when I need it and has been consistent. The Sensation on the other hand uses Qualcomm's SoC.
I think if I do get a new phone anytime soon it will be the One X with Krait processor or One S.

Luckily i have 0 issues on my phone.. Try calibrating the compass? Download compass app.

Me too thought it might be the compass that's acting up. any specific compass app I should try? Tried a few.. some worked, some dun.. I am surprised HTC didnt include the their signature compass app in the One X.

I have got the same problem.
My One X is running 1.29.401.7 and is unrooted and unbranded.
According to GPSTest, I have 11 satellites in view, but none in use. In settings/location, all options are ticked. I have used GPSTest to clear and update AGPS.
Any ideas?

I have just spoken to HTC, and they say the issue will be corrected in the 1.29.401.11 update which be available in the UK in a few days.

Wow.
I am not sure why some HOX phones have bad GPS. I am super impressed with mine, specially as I do a bit of Geocaching. Sitting on my lounge downstairs, in my two story house, with the blinds closed ( and I have a large tree covered hill to the north ) I get a good lock on at least six satellites in less then 30 seconds. I have owned two previous HTC phones as well as a Garmin GPS and a TomTom navigator, and none of these lock on as quick as this phoen does.
This is when using the app GPS status.

Mine was fine, good lock indoors etc. Now it's gone mental, jumping around all over the place. Tried all the clear data etc, fubar.

GPS practically useless on my HOX. It cannot get a lock indoors on even a single bird.
When using apps like Run Keeper or Endomondo to record a track, the track for a straight line 1 mile walk records as huge zig zag 6 miles long and estimates my speed as walking at 38 mph.
I've done all the GPS Status stuff with no positive results.
My Galaxy Nexus, side by side with the HOX, locks within seconds even indoors, and records a beautiful straight track.
Very disappointing.

Agps fix?

I returned my second HOX a week ago because of unusable GPS (First was yellow spots) - New one arrived today (T-mobile out of stock because of so many returns!).
Both the returned and the new one are HT24, both were running 1.28 - yet the one I returned would randomly bounce between a different 3-5 satellites, which meant the heading randomly reversed and location wandered, making Google Nav unusable due to constant re-routes.
The new one worked perfectly with Google Navigation when I went out earlier, though it still seemed to randomly choose which group of 4-5 satellites it locked onto.
My direct comparison suggests that it's a hardware problem, or at the very least a random software conflict.
I just hope its not a design flaw of the Tegra 3 hardware that will reappear and require some stupid external dongle like the Transformer Prime!

I just tested the GPS for navigation today,
It connected INSTANTLY - I mean instantly, 0secs-
Navigation was correct and accurate the whole way,
My one single disappointment was not the GPS, but the navigation speaker volume, very hard to hear in the car, even on full volume.

Navigation apps are far more forgiving of the flaws in the GPS signal than are GPS tracking apps.
With wifi location services on, your location in a navigation app can be found more quickly than waiting for satellite locks.
In a navigation app a 100 meter bounce in your position for a few seconds won't impact your directions. In a tracking app, it can destroy the validity of your track for measuring performance or distance, especially when it happens with alarming regularity.
Try running a short track with the run keeper app and see if you get a clean track or a schizophrenic one.

Help requested with ringtone problem

I have a stock, unrooted Z1 Compact, D5503 running Android 5.1.1, build 14.6.A.0.368.
Ever since the latest update, at random times, it sets the ring volume to zero and doesn't allow me to change it.
When I press and hold volume up, the slider pops up, but the indicator for volume doesn't move from the lowest position.
When I press and hold volume down, the phone changes from ring to vibrate, but no other change. Ring volume stays at zero. When I try Settings, Sound & Notification, media volume and alarm volume work as normal, but I can't adjust ring volume from zero.
The only fix I have found that works is to turn the phone off and on. The problem goes away, until some random trigger starts it again.
It's extremely annoying, and I have missed important calls because my phone won't ring.
I've sent an email to Xperia Care, maybe they can fix it, but I thought I'd try here because I've seen so many problems fixed through this forum. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I know you said your phone is stock, but this is the kind of thing I've had happen after a bad flash. Maybe something hiccupped during your update. I would try backing up apps and settings through Google options, then factory reset, or reflash with PC Companion.

Thanks Levone, I've already tried factory reset, it seemed to work for a while, now it's done it again. I'll try re-running the update through PC companion as you suggest. I have disabled a LOT of Sony bloatware, maybe something in there is the cause, I'll look through my disabled apps. I'd love to root the phone as it's out of warranty, but there doesn't seem to be a trustworthy method yet for my version. I'm sure someone will find one soon. I'm seriously sick of disabling about 20 apps every single time there's an OTA update. The last update seems to be full of bugs, SMS is slow, there are a lot of MMS's I haven't received, and now this problem with ringer volume. I often wonder why updates are released that actually make the phone slower, more bloated and buggier. I expect better from Sony.

I'm with you. I typically have always disabled or deleted bloatware also, (or used custom ROM), but I've also ran into problems before. Currently, I'm using stock .368, flashed via Flashtool, rooted, deodex patched, Xposed, etc., and everything has been fine so far. This time, I just left all the apps there, and just never opened them. Turned off any auto update, and just ignore update notifications from Play Store. It seems to be working out better. Software these days seems so complicated that you can hardly touch anything without affecting something else.

turn on -----restart ---after turn off and restart

After googling, it seems that the ringtone dying is a common thing, related to the latest update. After Sony tell us that updates are necessary for speed, smoothness and security. Well my phone's pretty freaking secure if I don't know when it's ringing. There are other murmurs about videos not playing and battery life reduction.
I tried re-installing the update via PC companion, nothing changed, other than I had to kill a googleplex of bloatware again and re-install everything else from a backup. I'm seriously considering rooting this $600 pain of a phone, and loading a custom ROM. And my next phone will likely be an HTC. I've owned a Samsung Galaxy S3, and I never want to repeat the Samsung phone experience... and my daughter has an iPhone 5C, she's on her fourth replacement under warranty. I'd rather own a Samsung before anything Apple.
I've just read that removing the SIM card may fix the problem, I'll see. Back later.

btw "I've already tried factory reset, it seemed to work for a while, now it's done it again" might indicate that you might be disabling an app or installing any app that might be conflicting with your phone. flash the latest firmware once it boots don't make any changes and just see if the problem persists .

Sent from my D5503 using xda premium

Same phone, same problem.
I have the same phone and the same problem.
Haven't found any obvious trigger that causes this, and as with you, a restart seems to cure it for a while.
I have a Garmin vivosmart tracker which vibrates, so have generally noticed this problem when my wrist starts shaking and I notice there is an incoming call but no ringer!
Currently trialing:
"android.stackexchange.com/questions/97678/ringing-volume-is-reduced-after-after-updating-moto-g2-to-android-lollipop"
"talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Problem-with-ring-volume-z2-after-update/td-p/1023521"
Will let you know if either work.

Thanks everyone for your help. The problem seems to have gone away, but I can't say why.
Now I have a bigger problem, the power switch is failing. It doesn't work any more unless I press it fairly hard, and then it bounces, which means the phone flickers between blank and lock screen. And it's VERY difficult to press and hold the button to pop up the restart/shutdown menu. Starting the phone is easy enough, I just press the shutter button then home when the camera app comes up. Shutting it down, not so easy. I've seen the youtube videos on teardown, and being an electronics tech all my working life I could probably do it. Not sure of the point; the cover over the micro USB slot pops open randomly (this is my second replacement cover) and video with MX player pro locks up when seeking, requiring a hard reset. I assume the software problems will be fixed eventually, but I've decided to upgrade to a Z3 compact. Hopefully it will be tougher. And I've ordered a magnetic charging dock and tempered glass screen protectors and a decent protective cover, so hopefully it won't get too damaged. So I guess I'll see you on the Z3 compact forums soon. And I'll check out Android 6 sometime, but it's not playing nice on my Nexus 7 2013 tablet yet; but I guess the apps I use will be sorted out eventually. I'll admit I love the sound quality of apt-x through my Sennheiser MM-400X headphones. But the FLAC files take up lots of space - and yes it's worth using lossless audio compression though apt-x with good headphones. Sorry I'm rambling. See you round.
Regds, PW

Further to this; I have upgraded to a Z3 compact. Love it to death. But the volume locking off problem is STILL there. It turns out it's an app, Camera Zoom FX. If I turn off the shutter sound on Zoom FX, it locks the ringtone volume to zero, and nothing but a restart will bring it back. So I either don't use Camera Zoom FX at all, or don't turn off the shutter sound. Simple.

Problem Solved for me
Hello, I had the same problem on my Sony Xperia Z1 and I figured it out thanks to Zorricko44 on talk.sonymobile.com

Re: Ringtone volume locked at 0
Solution:
This is caused by headphones screwing up volume.
1) Connect headphones (mine was blu-tooth)
2) Play Music
3) Adjust music volume (you will see the slider pop up) Hit the "BELL" symbol - now you can adjust your ringtone volume.
4) Switch back to music volume.. and don't ever change the ringtone volume while listening to music ever again!!!
You might be able to just plug in headphones and adjust it right away, but this worked for me. "

watch loses phone pairing every 5 minutes

I've had the Huawei for about 7 months now, and it has been absolutely rock solid on it's bluetooth connection to the phone. The last 2 or 3 days it has been losing connection and requesting to pair again about 10 times an hour which is rendering it unusable.
I've tried a factory reset on the watch, but it doesn't seem to resolve the problem. I'm running stock AW 1.5.0.2954763 and stock Android 6.0.1 on my Xperia Z5. Tried googling around but no-one seems to have the same problem. If anyone can suggest a fix I would be most grateful as I love my Huawei! Next move is to try a factory reset on phone and watch together and see if that works I guess but I'm reluctant as it means setting up banking apps yet again (the bank thinks I've had 5 new phones in the last 3 months!!!)
thanks

I wish someone would chime in. I'm having the same thing z5 too. Maybe 1 time a day or every other day..... Some days it's 4 or 5 times a day......I've reset also. I didn't clear the cache in the phone though.....,

I'm having an issue that I believe I've narrowed it down to the watch. My phone's Bluetooth keeps turning off and on (cycling). I have the N6 and have factory reset it, unrooted, locked bootloader back, etc. Rerooted, after all that. Ran fine for a few days before I paired the watch. Same day I paired the watch, it started again. Leading me to believe it is somehow my watch. This is very annoying because I use Bluetooth for music everyday in my car and at work.

Same problem for me with my xperia Z5C android 6.0
Started with my Sony SW2, I have the watch since about 3 years and it is the first time that the watch lost pairing. I changed the phone for the SW2 and put on my Galaxy S4 and no issue.
My Zenwatch 2 also lost the pairing code when used wit my xperia Z5C, changed and paired with my S4 and no issue.
So there are a real issue with the Z5 and android 6. No issue with my SW2 before Z5 updated to 6.0
My Sony SW3 have no issue with my xperia Z5.
xperia Z5 was kown to have BT problem with android 5.
When I was with android 5 I often had lost connections bt. So Sony has a lot of issue with his bt

i am having almost same issue. cant sync my huawei watch with huawei mate 7 . really surprising. bluetooth is continuously showing disconnection ..

I've managed to solve the problem by disabling phone call on the watch. It's a shame to lose the functionality, but it seems that the phone can't handle being connected to 2 different cars and a watch and work out which to use for what. When I got out the car it was still thoroughly confused and couldn't get it's pairing sorted no matter what.
Disconnected the watch and reset, then made sure that phone audio was not allowed on watch when I re-paired. Not had any problem since.
Probably something that Sony need to sort out with bluetooth that rendered the watch unusable

Seems my watch is having this issue as well. I didn't notice it until about an hour ago when I enabled it to notify me when it disconnects from my phone and twice in about 30 minutes i got notifications it had disconnected and I'm only 5 ft away from my phone. I do have a Bluetooth headset connected to my phone and noticed another person saying they believe having another Bluetooth device was causing this issue for them. I just disabled the notification for now because it's only dropping connection for a few seconds and comes right back so it's not really effecting me using the watch. Hopefully someone can figure out whats going on. I just got mine off Amazon so if the issue persists I'll just return it for another. I got 27 more days to see how it goes.
My setup: Negalite Huawei-Rom NX 1.7 w/ His 7/14/16 released Kernel
My phone: VS990/LG V10 fully stock 6.0.1 (no developement :'(',',', so sad)

The same problem here.
I have my Huawei for months with my old OnePlus 2 (oxygens on Android 5) and all work well. I arrived a couple of weeks my new OnePlus 3 (oxygens on android 6) made and the problems started. Randomly Huawei disconnects and calls the pairing code. This happens several times a day. I've done a thousand tests, restores watch and the phone and nothing seems to work.
EDIT: Confirming that the problem occurs when you have enabled the Audio options on both, the phone and the smartwatch.
This is a great loss of skills that Huawei.
This must be some fix
Please help

I had a Huawei watch for christmas and I have this problem, the watch loses pairing 5 or 6 times a day.
I'm using it with a stock xperia z5 premium dual. I don't use any battey saver or stamina, and I removed all the bluetooth devices paired with my phone but nothing worked.
For the user who had the same problem with sony SW2: I used it for 3 years since one week ago and never had this problem, the connection was perfect with no issue. When swapping to Huawei Watch the pain started.
I waited so long to swap to android wear to avoid beta testing but looks like it's too early. Now I have 300 euro less on my bank account and a smartwatch that works as ****. Thanks google.

EDITED: No solution
EDIT: after a while the watch lost pairing again, no solution yet. After pairing back I have the watch icon in the list.
I'm doing a lot of tests these days and maybe I found something about this problem.
1) I erased all the bluetooth devices paired to the phone
2) I went to"settings" -> "apps" (click "Show system" in options menu) and stopped "bluetooth share": after that I erased all the data of the app.
3) Paired the watch again
After that in bluetooth devices list I have this:

You see the icon of the watch now is like a headset.
No more pairing loss since then (one day ago) and everything seems working good.

So still the only working solution /workaround is to disable play phone audio on with in watch bluetooth menu?! ?

Mine rarely did this before Android Wear 2.0 update. Now it does it at least twice a day. It's really getting annoying.

I've NEVER had this issue since running Negalite ROM (NVF41U Wear 2.0 based rom), as soon as I let the official one take over my watch it's been disconnecting every day since then.
Thinking of "downgrading" to his rom as it runs faster, smoother, uses less battery and bluetooth works perfectly.

I've noticed that if I walk away from my phone and the watch and phone disconnect, my phone looses the pairing. I have an axon 7 with Lineage OS.

Same here, also ZTE Axon 7 on latest LOS + Huawei Watch on AW2.0. Maybe it's an issue with our phones or LOS?

I have the Axon 7 running stock (7.1.1) and a Asus Zenwatch 2. It's driving me crazy. It only started within the last week or so.

Is there a workaround or a way to fix this problem? It's getting really annoying to repair the watch with phone every day.

I've been having this problem as well now with Huawei watch on aw 2.0 and axon 7 running stock Nougat. Every time my phone and watch are separated it loses Bluetooth pairing and requires reconfirming on both devices. I am not using the BT audio on watch feature.

Question How To Improve Hearing Aid Function

I have a Pixel 6 Pro and Widex Moment 440 Hearing Aids. My aids are paired to my phone without issue, and I can successfully interact with them through the Widex app to switch programs, etc. But streaming of any audio (phone calls, music, audiobooks, podcasts) is so very poor that they're entirely unusable as streaming devices. Both aids cut in and out for the first 30-60 seconds of streaming, and then both aids cut out all together.
Widex is aware of the issue, but is opting not to make efforts to address it because they believe the issue lies with the Pixel 6/6 Pro, so much so that they formally delisted the Pixel 6/6 Pro, and recommend that I switch to an iPhone. I'm a Google gal through and through, with a home/life full of Google devices/products, so I don't want to switch to an iPhone, but I really would like to be able to stream to my aids.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might address this issue?

Try disabling all global power management ie adaptive battery, put unused apps to sleep.
Network reset.
Developer options>bluetooth settings, look through those (this image is a Samsung)

Play with it...

I disabled adaptive battery, and I'll slowly work my way through the developer options, with a bit of testing after each step.
With "put unused apps to sleep", are you referring to the function of adaptive battery, or something else?
What are you referring to with "Network reset"?

Not sure how settings are laid out on a Pixel.
To check if global power management is disabled; Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active. However global power management can't be disabled here.
The network reset is somewhere in settings under connectivity.

I confirmed via standby apps that all bucks show as active.
Are you suggesting that I should do a network reset? If so, will it remove all of my wifi and bluetooth connections?

Yes and yes it will reset all to default, which is why you do that.
It's not uncommon for it to become misconfigured. Set up the devices again when it's done. Maybe a different order of adding them would help. Try the hearing aid first and see if it works.

I'll give it a try, perhaps tomorrow, or after, once I've run with today's tweaks for a bit.

Just do it. I don't even think twice about it. A easy fix when it works
The bt device may also have its own reset in its software but may not do as well.
Again make sure the device has all its needed permissions including any in accessibility. It may not have prompted you to enable them during installation. That happens occasionally. Look it all over like a hawk. Playing in settings is fun, don't worry though as it's almost impossible to crash* a stock Android... explore it.
*always back up all your critical data redundantly to preferably 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Crashes are very rare but can happen, being prepared to do a full reload at any time will save you time and grief.

*always back up all your critical data redundantly to preferably 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Crashes are very rare but can happen, being prepared to do a full reload at any time will save you time and grief.

How do I check accessibility permissions? I don't think I've encountered that before.

On Samsung's it's in settings.
With Google it's usually documented. This may help you.

I have a Pixel 6 Pro and Widex Moment 440 Hearing Aids. My aids are paired to my phone without issue, and I can successfully interact with them through the Widex app to switch programs, etc. But streaming of any audio (phone calls, music, audiobooks, podcasts) is so very poor that they're entirely unusable as streaming devices. Both aids cut in and out for the first 30-60 seconds of streaming, and then both aids cut out all together.
Widex is aware of the issue, but is opting not to make efforts to address it because they believe the issue lies with the Pixel 6/6 Pro, so much so that they formally delisted the Pixel 6/6 Pro, and recommend that I switch to an iPhone. I'm a Google gal through and through, with a home/life full of Google devices/products, so I don't want to switch to an iPhone, but I really would like to be able to stream to my aids.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might address this issue?

I have a P6Pro and Resound hearing aids. They are pretty much working well. If the sound isn't piped to my ears and turn off and turn on Bluetooth and they connect properly. But the best hearing aid phone I ever had was my OnePlus 7 Pro. There was a button on the volume slider to pipe the sound to the phone, the ears, the car, or any other paired device. I miss that button!

Question Xiaomi 11x - Problem of bluetooth connection with buds

Hi,
I am not sure if I have stated my issue correctly in the title but here I will explain it
So i have a Xiaomi 11x and recently i bought realme buds Q2. I like the buds pretty much in the price range, the way it fits, sound and ANC etc. So everything is fine except one thing. After some random time, the buds keep disconnecting and reconnecting on its own after few seconds of disconnecting. Every time it disconnects and re-connects it makes a sound while wearing, which is very annoying. I got my buds replaced with same model but problem is still the same. So I guess problem is in my phone. I googled and done the following troubleshooting but failed to resolve the issue:
1. Tried resetting the buds by following steps given by Realme
2. Cleared bluetooth cache
3. Reset bluetooth (in settings > connections & sharing)
4. Given "no restriction" under battery to realme link app
5. Connected without realme link app
6. Even reinstalled MIUI bluetooth
Well, all the above stepps did not solve the issue. However, I observed following things:
1. It does not disconnect while on call or listening to music
2. It does not disconnect when screen is awake.
MIUI 13.0.9.0 up to date
Android 12
Bluetooth version 12
I hope i have explained to correctly. If there any other information needed regarding device, pls let me know.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Poco F3 custom rom user have also been having issues with Bluetooth and Android 13,
I use Bluetooth with a portable speaker and in my Car, but only for short periods of time and have had no issues.
Is your F3 going in power saving mode when the screen is off
Is your bootloader unlocked, if so you could try a different rom,
I use the Amazing EVO-X A13 rom and have not had any issues with Bluetooth,
I hope your sort it.

I have Mi 11x not F3. I am not sure if it is going into power saving mode. But i do not face this issue on any other bluetooth device and only on these buds.

No. My phone is locked. I had unlocked my phones in the past and installed different ROMs but it always opened pandora's box with host of problems. May be I am not good at it. Anyway..... unlocking and flashing is last thing that I will try.
I fiddled with some settings in developer options, or elsewhere perhaps, and now phone's bluetooth does not connect to saved devices automatically. It was doing so earlier. So now, it disconnects the buds but does not connect again. I need to connect them manually everytime.
I hope to find a solution or may be a 3rd party app??

Since you haven't encountered the issue on different BT devices nor buds and you have tried a different pair of the same buds, the problems most likely lies in the buds.

i think it has to do with M13A12 i have redmi buds 3 pro...& after up to M13A12 the bt tend to be way much unstable..even worse after last security update not my bud guaranted always be disconnect by itself (with the anc doesn't seeme to able always on...) with no solution for that..so mostly i think because mine were redmi buds brand...

But these same buds work fine on my other phone So certianly, buds and my mi 11x are incompatible with each other. I noticed that the built in bt-app is creating some problem perhaps. When it disconnects, a pop to connect to buds come up on screen. Though it connects buds with phone in the back ground, the pop says could not connect. Same happened when i tried to connect it for first time. Well, i am living with it so far.

What is M13A12?? You mean miui13 and android 12?? If u mean this, u might be right. And yes, ANC has nothing to do with it. I alway skeep my ANC off.
When i did factory reset, it worked fine for a while. For few hours to be precise. Then it downlaod and updated some apps in background. Also, i uninstalled some system apps, bloatware mainly like mi share, mipay etc... And again the same problem started. So, I am certain some app is creating the problem.

I honestly have no idea. If the fault lies in the miui then a different ROM could potentially help.

up till today the by connection between redmi buds 3 pro & my F3 are gettin worse...it keep dc by it self for no reason at all...don't know why but useless to report to dev, since they never actually fix it (even with capture error code, which it hard to get)
i use other tws (sony xm4) guess what..this goes normal..no dc whatsoever & anc also work perfectly. or rb3p on other brand phone.. somehow this way even normal than on miui itself
guess short solution for me is using my usb c dac+wired iem... for anc just go other brand tws...or not using xiaomi phones

Yes. That is right. No solution in sight. Either install a ROM or get rid of Xiaomi.
