Gps Status app

Gps Status app not showing satellites for some reason ??
Latitude & longitude seem ok anyone else having this problem ?
I do have stand alone gps turned on & internet data assist on in app
Google locate & verizon locate are off

Have you tried turning google locate on? I've had several apps that either wouldn't locate or would take a very long time (when standing outside) to get a lock with just stand alone gps.

Since my original post I have tried about every combo of settings
Over on the motorola forum they seem to think blur is blocking things somehow?
To your reply yes I did & no it didnt help but thanks

Where are they supposed to be shown? Not sure what I"m looking for. Seems to be working, but, like you say, I don't see any specific satellites anywhere.
B-)

Having the same problem with GPS Test+ from the Android Market... app is working, GPS is working... will not show satellite status bars or satellite location... luv to find a fix...

[Q] Smart unlock:places

Smart unlock: places is not working any longer. I have GPS locations turned on, set to High accuracy, Smart unlock is turned on and is also enabled in my trusted agents, and my home address is correct. This was working a couple days ago. But then suddenly stopped. I've also done a reboot several times. Any help please.

I heard something about there being a problem with the predefined locations "home" and "work". Try setting a custom trusted place and see if that works...

my experience says GPS for the Smart Lock is a bit off.....this workaround has worked for me and others:
leave your Home location, but add another one. In my case when the Map came up, it showed me in a slightly different location. adding that and keeping Home, has me working.
my home is at 472, and usually GPS gets it correct or sometimes its 470.....Now, in Smart Lock, it shows my home as 500.
HTH....GL

Thanks guys! I added my neighbors address. Lol. It seems to work now.

youre welcome, glad its working for ya!

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing and "Smart" Lock

I have two questions.
1. Is there a way to "Trust" my bluetooth headset? Every time I connect I have to enter the pin.
2. Does location "Smart" Lock work for anyone? I am having no luck with it. I still have to unlock my phone whenever I am in a trusted location, even after unlocking it at that location.

Both options work pretty accurately for me. I have a Bluetooth headset and whenever I have it connected the phone never asks for the unlock pattern. The trusted location failed at me very few times, but I have the location settings set to "high accuracy" mode, maybe that's the issue with you? Do you get accurate location when you use maps?

Clarification on #1, I have to reenter the pairing pin "0000" every time, the "Smart" lock works with my bluetooth.
-I do have "Hight Accuracy" selected, and my google maps in within a few feet when I zoom in. I have the circle around the lock when I turn the screen on, but it still asked for the pin.

I was having trouble with trusted places after Google play services updated to 7.087. Didn't try BT. Since Google play services updated to 7.097 trusted places is working again

I have issues with trusted places with mine also. Trusted device and face works flawlessly

Location based trusted places seems to be broken/buggy now - I won't link to them but there are lots of threads at Android Central on the topic.

Ok, so, the location issue is fixed. I picked another location about 2 meters from my "Home" and now it works.
Still no luck with the BT. I tried 2 headsets, and I am having the same issue. They pair fine, they work as a trusted device, they work during calls, but every time I need to pair them with the phone I have to reenter the pairing pin. For some reason my Moto X is not remembering the device.

GS6 affected by GPS bug?

I'm starting to think that we are affected by the GPS battery drain bug. My cell standby is gone after a hard reset and disabling VoLTE, but GPS is just killing it.
Battery is great too. Already at 3 hrs sot with a lot of battery left.
GPS used more than my freaking screen!

I am in the same boat as you, never used to turn GPS off, and now I catch myself messing with all the settings...

Not the actually GPS but Google Play Services ?

Yep, I've noticed Google Play Services toggling on my GPS periodically at home on my S6. (I assume it has something to do with Google Now, or Location History). It's strange because on my Nexus 5, I had those features enabled too but the phone never fired up the GPS when I was at home. (I figured since it had a good Wi-Fi signal it was just using Wi-Fi location at home, so it didn't need to fire up the GPS)

I had an N5 too... I think it did turn on GPS periodically (to check for trusted location unlock, for example) but it did it discretely without showing a giant notification. The GS6 GPS notification is really intrusive

Yup same thing with my n5 and a certain version of Google play services. Rediculous how much battery it's draining. Not sure if google play services is using GPS or not but whatever it's doing I want it to stop!

[Marshmallow][6.0][Q] Smartlock completely broken after M update

Hi all, I updated to android-M (completely wipe then installed stock rom). Since then, all the ways of smartlock do not work at all. I checked location access all the apps have it, including system apps (in app permissions). Please help. Has anyone sucesfully gotten Smartlock to work with android-M?

Worked fine for me on stock m and pure nexus

Works fine for me with my BT headset and Android Wear Watch. I've never tried it with a location.

Works with my smartwatch, my location , and my bluetooth stereo adapter thing for my house.

No problems here using MM Pure Nexus using my Android Wear for smart unlock.

Smart Unlock works fine for me with Bluetooth devices...but the location version does seem broken. I even have two location "circles" for my home, to cover a greater area, and I keep having to unlock it manually. This was not an issue for me on 5.1.1.

Location smart lock does not work well for me at all. 5.1.1 it worked great. Bluetooth smart lock is on point.

Location smart lock has been working fine for me the past couple weeks on 6.0. I did run into an issue initially where it seemed like it was stuck thinking I was always at a location to stay unlocked. That was right after I flashed and a reboot solved it.

Location is also broken for me, only works if I manually open Maps and let it settle my location for a bit, then the device stays unlocked for a couple of minutes only. Changing location accuracy has no effect on it.

I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this...do most people not use location Smart Unlock?

Mine was working flawlessly on 5.1.1 after I upgraded to 6.0 was hit and miss bit I durty flashed the update-after performing factory reset it works fine again

Do you have an exchange account installed? If yes, switch to 'Nine' and it uses app-level encryption rather than device-level. That's the only time it didn't work for me.
Running stock latest image. No tweaks/root.

Location unlock is a bit messy for me as well. I thought only I had it.

Location unlock occasionally doesn't work for me (first thing in the morning, usually, or if the phone has been locked/screen off for an extended period of time), but it works most of the time; and the BT unlock works 100% of the time in my car (stupid Toyota not having Android music controls to browse albums...)

Even when Smart Unlock (Location) is working, it will still lock after an extended period of time untouched. It's just a built in safety feature.

Ok so consensus seems to be that location at least IS broken for a lot of people...I'm not sure why though, at least it's not just me.

Same here
Running Google nexus 5 and stock marshmallow, unrooted. Have had same problem since upgrade to marshmallow. Location worked beautifully on lollipop. Bluetooth still fine. Basically sometimes I'm lucky and it unlocks with smart lock, but mostly it's a manual unlock. Noticed that it does sometimes eventually unlock smartly when one waits a while on lock screen and screen on. Keep tapping it to keep active. Very frustrating, adding a feature in past which you get used to and then breaks in future.

It would seem that if a trusted location has an address, it does not work so well, if at all.
Moving the trusted location pin around so that the trusted location uses gps coordinates instead of an address seems to work more consistently. No recent problems with smart lock trusted locations.

The location smart lock never worked for me even in lollipop. The only way I got it to work is by dropping something like 20-30 pins to blanket my county to ever get it to say it unlocked for location. And in google's location history thing it looks all good with points dropped frequently at my house.

Me too, my cellphone don't unlock in my house.
He work well on 5.0.2, now I'm in 6.0 and don't work. I go to do downgrade
