Hi. I hope someone can help me with a problem with GPS locking.
I have a Chinese LE2120 that has been imported into the Uk. The phone shipped with the international version of Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10.LE15AA. This is on Android 11 and works perfectly. There are no issues with obtaining good satellite lock when using GNSS even when indoors.
The problems started when I accepted a system upgrade to Android 12. On Android 12 I am unable to get a satellite lock when using GNSS even when outdoors. The phone will sometimes lock onto 1 satellite, but that's about it. Restarting the phone will sometimes allow GNSS to obtain a good lock, but it never lasts long. This issues makes using any navigation/mapping apps impossible.
To date I have tried multiple factory resets and tried all versions of the Android 12 system updates that have been offered right up to C61, but the problem still persists. Downgrading back to Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10.LE15AA fixes the problem so I don't believe it to be hardware related.
OnePlus technical support in the UK are unable to help as my phone is a Chinese import. I have been able to find one other report of this issue on the OnePlus forums, but it was never resolved.
I would be very grateful if anyone who has the LE2120 and has successfully upgraded to Android 12 without GNSS/GPS issues could share their gps.conf file in vendor/etc so that I can compare my version to a known working version to try to determine if it is a config issue. Alternative if anyone has had similar issues and managed to resolve them then I would be keen to know what the fix involves.
For now I am back on Android 11 with no issues, but it would be good to be able to obtain the latest security patches.
Thanks in anticipation, Dave.
Hello
I vave the same problem please how can i back to Android 11

Hi.
Sorry to hear that you are having problems after upgrading to OOS12. I never did managed to to GPS/GNSS working reliably on OOS12.
There are a couple of things to try before downgrading to OOS11. First of all you have to know that downgrading to OOS11 will wipe your phone. All data and self installed apps will be gone so please make sure that you have a good backup of anything important!
First thing I would try is to wipe the cache partition of the phone. It may work and it certainly won't do any harm and you won't lose any data. The thing is I'm not sure how relevant the cache partition is on Android 12, but worth a try. Instrustions here ... https://www.hardreset.info/devices/oneplus/oneplus-9-pro/wipe-cache/ Be certain to only wipe the cache partition and NOT the data partition. If this works for you then great and please post back to let me know.
If there are still GPS/GNSS problems then next I would update the phone to OOS13 (Android 13) and see if the problems are resolved. When you are on OOS12 you should automatically get offered the OOS13 update in the System Update menu option. If not then install the Oxygen Updater App from the Play Store and get the OOS13 update from there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arjanvlek.oxygenupdater Again, with this option you should not lose any data or apps, but please back anything important up first.
If you still have GPS/GNSS problems then to downgrade to OOS11 please follow these instructions ... https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1534473 Please do remember that this process WILL wipe the phone so backup important data first!
Any problems then please post back here and I'll try to help.
Good luck!

I'm having this issue as well! I've tried everything I could except wipe my phone. Has anyone find a fix to this?
I'm experiencing this as well. Did you end up fixing it?

Same error here with OOS Beta 20 on 5T
Error here too. Youtube works, but for example NPO Start, which is the national television in the netherlands doesnt work.
Same here tried almost everything like wiping the internal storage bt nothing works in case of netflix on oob 20 n h2os but when i switch back to stable one its start working again i dont whats wrong here becoz many user on oob 20 n netflix is working for them.
I hope this will get fixed in the next beta, because i like Pie way more than oreo
They reslove this issue on the new oob.

Hey there,
in all my years using/modding android phones I was never this lost on finding the issue.
My Oneplus 5t was unlocked, had latest blue_spark TWRP 3.40 recovery and stock oos 10.0.0 with the blue spark kernel and magisk installed. I just upgraded to the 8t and wanted to revert my phone back to stock. So I made a nandroid backup in TWRP and used the unbrick tool to get the phone in the fastest way possible fully wiped back to stock.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012 OOS 5.1.7).
Well after my phone was fully stock I was already kinda suspicious about it not finding any OTA updates and manually installed the latest oos 10.0.1 update. First it seemed like everything was working just fine but then I realised that the camera is not starting anymore and gives me the error "Error starting camera" ("Fehler beim Öffnen der Kamera). Since then I have tried everything possible for 2 days but I still am unable to fix the issue.
Everything I tried.
1. deleting camera app data/cache and phone cache in stock recovery
2.factory resetting the phone
3.Using the latest 9.0.11 unbrick tool from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/op5t-collection-unbrick-tools-t3898890
-with this my wifi was not working but the camera was working again
- and this also showed me (while using mobile data) that there is a ota update available (oos 10.0.1)
- after updating my wifi was working and the camera was not working
4.Using at least 7 or 8 different unbrick versions (still from this thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/op5t-collection-unbrick-tools-t3898890)
- here I noticed that as soon as I had a android version below 9 it would not show me available ota updates and would not even let me manually update but camera and wifi was working
5. unlocking the bootloader, flashing twrp 3.40 and restoring my nandroid backup
- camera is not working
So as you guys can see I am really close on losing my mind with this phone and I would appreciate any help you can give me :fingers-crossed:
// looks like I need to send in my phone to Oneplus
//Oneplus "certified" service in poland was unable (my guess is they did not even bother) to find the issue and quoted a 300€ repair bill for changing the mainboard ^^
i have a 7t with global rom. was fine prior to recent upgrade to android 11. i was lucky enough to win a new oneplus 8 in one of their contests, so i don't use this often but it has an active line. when using google fit to measure walking which was fine prior, it is way off after update. if anyone else has experienced this gps issue or has a fix please advise. threads i've searched suggest turning off exact location feature. that is all i could find on the issue

thanks, but i'm not rooted. after i switched the rom to global, i locked the bootloader and run it as stock. but if there is nothing else i'll wait for next update and if still problem, i unlock then root and reset the phone.
i decided to just wipe phone and unlock bootloader and root. i used boot.img from the rom posted at oneplus site since i updated the stock global ota. patched w/magisk (most recent stable branch) and everything including gps now works. actually all works better after wipe fwiw... i could not find the magisk module referenced above by HueyT.
works fine during setup then vanishes and the wifi button doesn't do anything afterwards. is it hardware or software related?
weird thing i noticed is that any wifi related setting, will make the settings crash and not respond...
miui global 12.5.8 stable, Android version: 11 RKQ1.200826.002, security update: 2002-01-01
dunno how to explain this, but this is what it looks like when I try to do anything in the settings (google drive video)
I have also looked at this thread where it seems similar to my problem, but could not find a solution.
MIUI 12.5 wifi issues
Hi, today I received the EU update to MIUI 12.5 - 12.5.1.0(RFAEUXM) . However, now my Mi 9 can't connect to wireless networks. I already tried restore the network defaults and then the factory reset without success. Any ideas? The behavior is - I...

edit: seems like i have to unlock the bootloader to install a different rom, will update in a week
Sounds like a major issue , after watching the video, 2 things I would try remove sim reboot then try, of still fails the ROM must be corrupt , I would reinstall/flash sounds like you tried a factory reset so thats what I would do
thank you for your response. I did remove the sim and factory reset but no change. Can I reeinstall without having the phone unlocked? or is that only possible with an unlocked phone and the fastboot thing?
edit: found out how to local update rom, going to that and see how it goes.
edit2: installed a new rom but the issue still persist.

you meant to say you just did a update? you will need unlocked bootloader I do believe but not positive if your going from stock to stock
I installed MIUI 13.0.3 with this method https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=1 but the same problem with the WIFI persist. If it was an software issue it should have fixed it right? so I'm thinking that it might be a hardware issue instead.

Did you mess up with any wifi or persist thingy?
update: I unlocked the phone and installed different rom versions with MiFlash.
I installed everything step by step following this guide for installing via fastboot https://c.mi.com/thread-1857937-1-0.html.
alioth_global_images_V13.0.2.0.SKHMIXM_20220314.0000.00_12.0_global: same problem
alioth_eea_global_images_V12.5.8.0.RKHEUXM_20220210.0000.00_11.0_eea: put WiFi settings on static
worked long enough to fully setup and install some apps than it went full retard. (longest working wifi connection yet)
after a second restart, the wifi is compeltly gone now.
alioth_global_images_V12.5.6.0.RKHMIXM_20220210.0000.00_11.0_global: WiFi didn't work at all

I don't think i have any more roms to test out so maybe i will try a custom rom xd
try with custom roms
Can i local upgrade the ind c60 update on my os 11 eu op 9 pro?
Also whats the exact process if im rooted ? Flash rom and then put magisk to inactive slot ?
Don't do that. Phone seems laggy. Sometimes chrome crashes, camera freezes so you have to reboot the phone to unlock it, there are glitches in animations and some stuff like O roaming installed. When I have time I am going to rollback to c48 EU.
For not it is usable, but the feeling of using premium phone is gone after cross update to c60 in.
Also gpay stopped working.
NO! People say that phone have issues with this method.
It seems problematic so far.... cheers
It is a bad idea. I know, I've done that. The C.60 indian bulid have a lot of bugs even if you're not crossflashed it. The safetynet is not fixable after the cross-flash, so Google Pay and some other apps just not working. [edit: I've menaged to fix it, with magiskhide propsconfig + universal safetynet fix magisk modules installed] I hope that the EU version full zip from C.62 is coming soon, and maybe it will fix these things, so I dont have to reset the device. But maybe even with that I will reset it.
