Greetings guys,
I've also been having issues with the GPS on the OB. I tried the various fixes ( hidden menu settings, different gps configs etc) but the root of my problem is (or atleast appears to be) different. Whenever i fire up GPS status or Google maps, the flashing GPS icon in the status bar won't stay lit for more than 1 second .It's like it's not even trying to get a lock.
I was on the latest stock rom , tried Zeus aswell but to no avail; i have exactly the same issue. I do remember the GPS working (albeit with difficulties) on stock froyo, before i updated.
I'd just like to know ,is this issue the same as the one everyone's facing regarding the inability to get a proper lock, or do i have a hardware issue , in which case i need to reflash to stock and contact LG ?
Thanks in advance for the insight guys, if i haven't provided all the necessary info please feel free to ask, i'm hardly an expert in these matters

It sounds like a hardware issue.
Anyway if you can show that GPS isn't working properly on stock Froyo, then you have a good case to request warranty from LG.
Do you have data active?
If not cold lock(without A-GPS) might take as long as 3 - 4 Minutes.
If you do have data active sounds like hardware problem.
Gps is not the best i have seen and tested but works (mostly).
i cant use my gps! i use v20c and change the gps setting with gps status!!!how can i fix it??
excus for bad en!
Hi,
I'm not sure of I'm on the right forum/subforum, but here it goes. I am using iGO MyWay 8.4.3. Navigation (European area) on my P700. It work really well and I am satisifed but I have one little problem. I heard that many nav manufactures (iGO/Navteq included) decided that their .apk will use American satellites for GPS lock. Here we touched the problem. There are moments when I got GPS lock in few seconds and also there are moments when there is about 20 minutes needed to make a proper GPS lock (ofc, we are talking about open areas). Also, I heard there are few code-lines in .apk that could change satellite search to European area (closer satellites, faster lock).
My issue is : Is there any .apk editor that can be used to change these few lines of code without ruining the whole app. If so, does anybody know which codes have to be changed.
Thanks in advance!
It must one. I used igo primo v2.0 and now v2.1 for jb but i dont have this problems. From start to connetion it takes about 10 to 20 seconds.

I now it should, as I said, there are moments in which GPS lock is done in 10 to 20 secs as you said and that's how it supposed to be. I just want to find the way how to change those few lines of code (GPS orientation and positioning - primary -> something like that), from American location to European. There are 2x more American GPS satellites than European, but also Americans are using a lot of smartphones, so when American GPS sats are busy, phone needs more time to achieve GPS lock. Changing primary orientation / postitioning will make European (closer) sats more available, currently I guess mine iGO has its primary GPS sats on US, not european.
That is the thing I want to change, of course, if it is possible.
Thanks anway!

I got your problem too, sometimes it locks in 10 sec and sometimes after 5-10km and its killing me, it would be nice if somebody could change .apk to lock on eu satelites.

Hi guys, i'm almost bying the Mi8 but i want know about the GPS issues....
I'm reading that a lot of peoples are facing problems with the GPS, how bad is the GPS? They Fix with some kind of updade?
Any pokemon player here can help me?
I know this sounds like a cry, but i have an Oneplus 5, and i'll buy a new device soon from china, unfortunately i can't test until the person get back to Brazil. If someone could help, i'll appreciate. Thx thx
I have the same issue, impossible to play sometimes. Could not fix it yet
I don't know why everyone is talking about issues?
My Mi 8 china with miui 10 from Xiaomi.eu has not a single problem with gps. Okay it is not as accurate as they advertise but 4m is fairly good!

Humm, maybe the European software version is better than China version?
I really really like the Mi8, but so many persons with GPs issues...
One question, how much accurete is the GPS? You can stay in one place without problem?
Thx for the answer
@thiagoserrao
I have not a single problem with it same as my Oneplus 6.
Speak Thiago. The problem is that the appliances for sale, is Chinese variant. And as the device has not yet been released in its Global variant, many users with the Chinese version system are having problems with the device. All this is just a lack of optimization at the moment.
Mine is already on the way, and soon I will pass the Global system version. Since we will not have our language in the Chinese version. The device is recent, and its development is still crawling.
I come from a Nexus 6P and this is no doubt the best GPS I've had in a mobile phone. In my experience, the Xiaomi is much much better than the Nexus, both faster and more accurate. I'm using the official global ROM but the Chinese ROM was perfectly accurate as well.
after play pokemon go the mi8 gps will lock and no data received with gps test tools
My new buyed MI 8 from Taiwan store has GPS problem,
I noticed when I play pokemon go and the gps not found message appear and disappear
I shut down the pokemon go and open gps test tool
no data will be received
I restart the phone and stuck
I must turn off it by push power button 10 secs
and start it again
then the gps test tool can receive data from gps

Yes, I keep getting it.
Miui Global 9.5 / Stable 9.5.13.0.
2 days ago I installed the "Gps status and toolbox" app from the play store and used the "Manage A-GPS State" option to reset and re-download the A-GPS XTRA Data.
After rebooting no issues for the whole day. Today the annoying message is back.
Don't use MIUI 9. Try MIUI 10.

Sometimes i install the MIUI 10 on my ONEPLUS 5, but i always got the message "GPS NOT FOUND", same problem that you are getting on MI8, i think this is really a Software issues :/. Well, thx for your reply, i really really appreciate! If this problem occurs to me, i'll have to install the Lineage or something like that :x.
Hope my Mi8 don't have this problem :/.
Anyway, the Taiwan version do not have the Band 28 LTE, right?

I unlock bootloader yestoday, all data reset, and reinstall app again . I go outside and open google map, the gps get position soon,but after 50 mins without shutdown google map , I found the position is not changed, the gps hang. I use gps tool to clean and repair agps data , the mi 8 soft restart , but the gps is still hang, I shutdown and turn on the phone again , the GPS live again.
My mi8 is running global stable version miui 9 9.5.13.10. I saw the newest develop version miui 10 have many bugs , so I am still waiting the right version released.
By the way,Taiwan version do not have the Band 28 LTE, just include B1 / B3 / B7 / B8 / B38 / B41，and suppot 2CA include B1 + B3、B3 + B3、B7 + B7.
Use gps mode with only device to prevent from fused lcation service lock gps
I flash the 8.8.7 global developer miui 10
Gps still hang when pokemon go or gps test tool run
Even when camera use location tag
You need shutdown the phone and force restart it by click power button for 10 secs
After some test, I use the gps with only device mode
The gps is normal for 30 hours without hang(gps tool shows no gps, not 28 gps without signal).

Did you solve this ?
For Pokemon Go, the compass don't work too (but work in the compass app, so weird...).

Same issue, problems in xiaomi china 10.0.5 too
Hi,
I've bought xiaomi Mi 8 from Shanghai last week. It is china rom currently on miui 9.6. I've installed all the google services and given all the permissions properly. But phone not getting gps at all. It keeps searching for gps. But could not locate the locations in google maps. It's too much frustrating. Tried all the tips found in online but didn't work. People are asking to flash to global stable. But I wanted to stay in china rom.
So could you guys please tell me that if there will be any fix for this issue? Is there going to be any update? If there will be any update for fixing this issue then how much it will take? Should I wait or just flash to global stable? Please let me know. Thanks.
I'm on MIUI 9.5 and Google Maps work. Using a VPN of course.
current status
I've found that google maps and others gps tools apps are working great in outdoor where I'm under the direct sky. But whenever I get inside of a room or building it stops working.

Disable non interactive mode
Battery & performance / Smart scenes / toggle off non interactive mode
Now I'm having constant gps
I really like the Mi 11, also the UI on Xiaomi.eu ROM.
The only thing I really miss is the smart unlock features which not seem to be supported by Xiaomi.
I tried the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rachel030219.smartlocklauncher&hl=it and then SmartLock is visible and configeable but trusted places does not work.
I also tried Tasker with SecureSettings and unlocking with my pincde but itI cannot get it to work.
I am using pincode and fingerprint.
Anyone had success with unlocking the phone at home via GPS or WiFi network?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Same here. I am missing the smartlock function in my previous phone.
I am now using the face recognition function and it works pretty the same too. You may want to try.
Thanks and I am using it right now, but less secure and useless when the phone lies next to me and I want to unlock it..
Hope some one had it working on MI 11?
