Hi there,
Specifically for running I got a S5 mini, and before this I had a S4 mini. On the S4 mini, GPS tracking was ok, but now with the S5 mini I notice when I press "Go running", the workout starts (time starts ticking), but GPS tracking starts after 400m or so. It happens every time and it's quite annoying, I constantly have to fix the workout afterwards. And during my run, every audio feedback, average speed, is then way off as well. I do wait until the app indicates "Good GPS" in green, before starting the workout.
Anyone some tips? I would appreciate it, thanks in advance! I already tried rebooting the phone a few times. I use latest unofficial LineageOS.

Hello guys,
with some of the latest firmwares (M2/especially M5) I'm experiencing a new bug - namely that the GPS simply turns off after 3 minutes of usage. I'm testing this with applications like Google Navigation or GPS Test and after a few minutes the GPS Symbol in the notification bar just disappears and the apps don't receive any position/data update.
Any ideas?
greetings
Alex
check your auto task killer
I didn't install any... I also tried to turn off almost every service running but the behaviour stays the same.
interestingly the app that uses the GPS stays open
Same happened to me. I couldn't solve it so a reflash seems to have done the trick. Can't be to sure since I haven't tested it that much so far.
I take that back. It's happening again and I can't understand why. Happens with all apps, NDrive, Navigon, GPS Status and GPS Test.
Did you find a solution?
darn...
first reflashing helped, but happens again now exactly as you describe...
It's very annoying because beside this GPS works quite well
Just recently, when I try to invoke S-Voice on my gear, it both gives me and reads me the message: "It looks like another application is using the mic. Please close it and try again".
Gear is running Tizen OS.
Phone is a GS4 running latest Hyperdrive Rom RLS19
Have not recalled adding any new apps that would effect this to my phone and certainly haven't added anything to the Gear.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? I assume this is related to the phone and something being open mic on it?
A side note: S-Voice via my phone works flawlessly and does not report this message.
Update: Ok, so I have determined that the 'sa-providers' fix eluded to on here for those of us afflicted with the massive force closes since Gear Manager updated last is the culprit. If I remove it with TIBU on phone and let Gear Manager re-install the latest version of it, I can get s-voice to function from Gear to phone again.
Major problem is, After about 30 seconds, sa-providers continuosly force closes every 2 seconds thus making the phone un-usable until you kill the BT connection to stop it. Tried clearing data for sa-providers, that fixes things for another 30 seconds to a minute and problem persists.
Any ideas folks?
Thanks
I am getting the same message when I try to use the s-voice on the watch to respond to a text. It has worked in the past.
I am not running any special rom nor have I rooted my phone or the gear
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5
Huawei P9 EVA-L19, stock latest firmware, using as car GPS navigation, randomly loses location.
On roads near big trees this is becoming often, even worth. It's like the GPS is hardly receiving satellite signals.
Anyone encountered this problem?
I have the same issue on my EVA L09 and no solution till now :/
Same problem here, with the time he works better ^^
First I thought the Waze App wasn't optimised to this hardware; Later I observed the same symptom happened while walking down on a street and watching Google Maps.
Recently I've reset my phone to factory defaults and up to now ... sshh... Now I'm monitoring it. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
I am facing the same issue with my P9 Plus. It doesn't work even after I have performed a hard reset. Will be sending to the service center and see what they say.
After installing B378 update i still have problems with GPS and battery. I've done factory reset 5 times in 9 months, looks like this Huawei is my first and last one.
Overall good phone but I don't want to carry charger with me all the time and can't use Google Maps
Hi. I think I solved the problem (at least for me it worked).
After the last update my P9 (Firmware: C432B378) GPS started to stop randomly, becoming an nuisance using any Navigation APP.
After searching Google and XDA I've found that other people also had the same issue with Nougat and after trying some of the solutions I finally got the GPS working again.
The steps are:
- Go to "Advance Settings".
- then go to "Location Services"
- Press the 3 dot (on the top right) and select "Scan settings".
- Disable/unselect the Wi-Fi scanning (and "Bluetooth scanning")
Voilá, the GPS it's back again.

I'm facing the same issue and already made the configurations that you report, without success. Already made a Factory Reset, and same behaviour: very erratic behavior of GPS during navigation (with Waze, or Google Maps, or HERE WeGo). Also requested the replacement of the device for a new one ... and same thing with this second P9 ...
It's running EMUI 5.0 (build number EVA-L09C432B378).
I had a NEXUS 5 and never faced something like this: very quick fixing of GPS (P9 takes much much much more time) coordinates and no erratic behavior at all.

Disabling wifi and BT just makes indoor positioning problematic. This phone has got a cheap and loose, slow chip for GPS. It may save energy. Sell the phone for someone slow moving, who isn't a car driver...
Glonass satellites ar unknown
Someone of you had noticed that P9 can fix many Glonass satellites but without recognizing as Glonass satellites?
I tried with app AndroiTS GPS Test used in the same moment/position on my P9 (EVA-L09) and on my Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab S2...
Tab S2 views many satellites and fixes faster... P9 sees the same satellites but indicates them with a question mark...
A software problem?
Guys I've solved it after some research!
just press it on the 4 corners with your fingers.
I've made it with the app "GPS test" launched, and after pressing it, it automaticaly start working.
Enjoy!!!

Hi, I also have the same problem after updating to Nougat (Italian telecom brand TIM).
Can you explain better how did you fix the problem by pressing your fingers at the 4 corners ???

What does it mean press on the 4 corners?
problem due to battery optimisation . Had problem getting signal using Waze. Go to Settings, then Apps, Go into Settings under the Apps screen again; under Advanced, select Special Access ; go to Ignore battery Optimisation; Select All Apps; make Waze or your GPS app as Allowed App to ignore battery optimisation. It worked for me.
I pressed the four corners and it worked...thanks for the info
Got this phone a year
This problem still with me, i need to use waze regularly. It just keep lost signal. Any solution for this now?
The turning off of Wifi and Bluetooth location services works for me. To be fair, I have used my P9 for GPS nav in my aeroplane and it has always delivered quick and accurate results. I know this as I run it in parallel with my aviation GPS and the locations match if you track from A to B on both GPS's. It also seems to update very quickly, which surprised me but it does. My max speed is 140Kts, so not high speed from an aviation POV but very fast for driving!
Asked around from the retailer regarding this problem and they directed me to contact the official Huawei Support service, who in turn replaced the main board. Still not perfect all the time.
Check this:
1. calibrate your compas
2.In Advanced settings - don't close compass application
Second day works fine on my P9 Pro
4 corner means?
Well, this seems to be a common issue that Asus support knows nothing about. I have learned that Asus support is worthless, but I will leave that rant for another post. Anyway, I am having the same issue that many other people seem to have, but I haven't been able to find a solution for it. I have a 6P, latest Android Wear on the phone, latest Android Wear on the watch, and it usually takes 15-30 seconds for the watch to "ring" when I get a phone call. Additional details below.
Here is, in detail, what I have noticed. If I have used the watch recently (sorry, can't provide an accurate, or even estimate time fraim) it seems to work fine, however if it hasn't been used in a while, it can take 15-30 seconds for the watch to notify me of an incoming call. I am used to my pebble, where notifications that take 2 seconds are VERY long delays, usually its instant with the pebble. This also appears to be an issue when an alarm goes off. Alarm, as in set an alarm in the clock app, it takes forever to get the notification on my watch. As far as phone calls, it also seems as though if I answer the phone before the watch starts ringing, the watch can start ringing after I have answered the phone, and am talking on the phone, and the watch won't shut up until the call has ended.
I assume there is a simple fox for this, but I can't find it anywhere. For details, the watch is running 2.8.0.182823779 (Latest at the time of writing) the phone is running 8.0.0 rooted, android wear 2.9.0.185084575.gms (Latest at time of writing)
Practically begging for help here, thanks in advance.
I assume you are using stock AW 2. Everyone of us has had problems with the speed of the watch. The snapdragon 1200 seems to be to slow and old for AW 2. But if you try the ROM available here in the forum made by @janjan , it get's a little bit better.
You have to disable ZenWatch Manager on the watch and uninstall on your phone.
The Zenwatch manager actually processes lots of data before notifying the watch. Hence the lag.
Just updated to MIUI 14 and it was a mistake. My Galaxy watch just randomly disconnects, bluetooth connection needs to be manually started again. This happens on random intervals (but no longer than 1h). Tried reinstalling apps, restarting watch, a2dp, turning off miui optimalization and a2dp, reseting bluetooth connections, and still nothing.
Everything was working fine on android 12. Now the lifetime of my active2 watch is down from 3 days, to maybe 1,5 days.
Anybody has any ideas? I am considering downgrading to android 12, cause it's so bad.
Thanks!
Omg, it's such a relief knowing it is not only me. Seriously, updating to miui 14 was a mistake, whenever I open camera app, the Watch randomly disconnects.
Pls give a solution.
Thnx.
I started having this exact same issue after updating to MiUI 14.
My Gear S3 doesn't even connect anymore. If I manually connect it through the Galaxy Wearables app it disconnects immediately after I close the app. I can fix this by making every app related to the Gear S3 (Wearables App, Gear S3 plugin, Samsung Accessory Service) able to auto-start, then my watch will stay connected, but as soon as I open the camera, either through the system camera app or any other app that uses the camera, my watch will constantly disconnect while the camera is open. And even worse, it will lag like crazy when recording 4K footage, making the final recording look very choppy, rendering it unusable.
So I'm stuck choosing between having a useless smartwatch or being unable to record 4K video. What the hell Xiaomi?

Try changing battery to no restrictions for camera and galaxy wearable. Mine was disconnecting when using camera. Also app lock and auto start Samsung accessory service and gear s plugin. Auto start Galaxy wearable.

Change battery optimization for camera to no restrictions.
