Hello guys, wanna ask something
Are you guys experiencing the gps cannot lock, and always "searching for gps"? I tested it outside with google maps and high accuracy settings but still no luck.
Im currently on miui 8 global stable, is there any way to fix this gps issue?
me too and actually lots of people having this gps issue on mi5. I'm looking for solutions to it also.
Try updating again via updater, click the 3 dots on the top right, it will download the whole package, and reboot again. It works for me
I have the developer MIUI 8 6.8.25 and my GPS works perfect.
Can anyone recommend a good free app for GPS testing?

Try 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from the Play store.
+1 on this, I am also having constant issues with my gps, it seems to be pretty random as it would sometimes lock immediately while the other time i have to wait up to 15min.
I am currently on 6.4.27 from xiaomi.eu as it seems to be the one of very few roms where download transfer rate is not an issue.
Doesn't work when plugged in to either of my QC 2 fast chargers (car and home).
Works fine normal slow charger.
I think it's software related regarding the GPS issues in mi5
Because right now I'm on the custom ROM, the latest multirom, the GPS works flawlessly with no issues at all when I'm using google maps to navigate. Meanwhile the latest global stable has a very bad GPS performance, unusable even.
So I guess I'm gonna keep using this multirom instead of the official stable release, and hope that the devs who're responsible for developing the global release finally fix the issue in the next global release :good:
I had gps problem with all v8 miui rom, cannot get gps locked on google maps. when using gps test the fone only see 5 satellites. No fix solution working yet!
Guys,
Couldn't it be that a certain batch of MI5s has been manufactured with a faulty GPS module? I have tested it on countless rom versions both MIUI and AOSP/CM. It is always the same, my Mi5 takes ridiculous 20-30mins to obtain a lock and then loses it every 2-3mins.
The only occasion when GPS was working fine was few days after I've bought the phone and took an 800km trip, it was stable all the time and I was very happy with its performance as it obtained a lock almost instantly. I was on 6.4.27 from xiaomi.eu back then. Problems have started when I was driving back (and I didn't change ROM during that time) but it was nothing compared to what I'm experiencing now, I am under impression that this is getting worse with each day.
I am back on 6.4.27 now and it's not any better.The GPS is unusable in its current state and I'm considering sending my phone to the seller for a replacement.
My phone was manufactured in May 2016 (says the box), it's a 32GB black version, could you guys please let me know when were yours produced so that we can (or can't) establish a common pattern here?
Cheers.
EDIT:
The issue seems resolved with the latest update (6.9.1 from xiaomi.eu). GPS on my Mi5 has been stable for the last 4 days with an average of ~23 satellites detected, it takes around 30s to obtain a fix. That's a huge improvement, keep it up and we might see other issues resolved once and for all

i'm planning to buy a mi5 but first i want to be sure that i won't have gps issues as had with g5!
at first you said that gps was weak either on MIUSI or CM/AOSPA.. that seems to be an HW issue.. so how is it possible to have solved gps issues with a SW update? do you still have rock solid GPS tracking? i need it for sport and gaming purposes
any clue how to fix it?
For me it always flworked outside but i didn't work inside my house only...

Its still not fixed....its been 5 months and still not fixed... I still dont understand i spent 350$ on this piece of ****
Someone please help me fix this issue..
Mine has always worked fine. I am always on the latest global dev of miui. What did you try to resolve it?
I've tried different GPS fix in the google store, changed to xiaomi.eu in 2-3 different versions, changed to global developer, wiped everything, edited the gps config, turned off miui battery optimization and granting google maps permisions to all. Nothing seems to fix it, always 15 or less satellites, bad signal and about 2-3mins to lock the position.
Nothing seems to work... Now trying to install 6.11.10 xiaomi.eu and then switch to the latest xiaomi.eu stable as recommended. If I find any solution I'll let you know, but I'm staring to think it's related to hardware, my GF owns another mi5 and 0 problems since the first day.
Edit: Installed 6.11.10 without formating system aaaaand.. nothing changed.
Installed again formating system and 6-10s I get my location for the first time, more GPS showing and seems to work fine.
I'll update again to last xiaomi.eu and test it to see if all keeps working.
For the time being: 6.11.10 xiaomi.eu with format system corrects the GPS error
Because of the unusable and unreliable GPS, my very expensive Mi 5 Pro Ceramics will be sold.
Nothing will ever be fixed for this phone, because Xiaomi does not care about a solution.
What is a phone worth that has GPS problems? I paid 370 USD for the 128 GB version.
My GPS has working fine but since 2 months I have the same problem.
I am using a magnetic holder in my car for my MI5.
But without problems until that moment.
Are you usign magnetic holder??? Perhaps that's the problem, but I am not sure.
I will sell my MI5 because i need the GPS for my job.
I don't have GPS issues per se, but when it is connected to the USB for power in the car it doesn't work. The moment I un-plug it the location is fixed and it works as per normal.
Having the sa,e f*** issues
I am having problem with the GPS since I bought the phone...
At the beginning was taking super long to fix the position... sometimes half an hour.
It was working and failing apparentely randomly...
but now... worst!!!! is not working at all. 0 Satelites
The internal test of the GPS fails...
So I think that if I am still on time I will give it back or change it or something!!!!

Hello,
I got an WLAN Problem with my Xiaomi Mi 9. Im currently using the newest Miui Global Version and tried many other ROMS, but got almost everywhere a WLAN Problem. My WLAN is like freezed. Im connected but it takes like 1 min until something load completly. The only way to fix it is turning Hotspot on for 5 sec, then disable it, restart the phone and turning Hotspot on again and disable it. Then my WLAN works perfect, until I restart again. I just doesn't understand what is causing this problem. I also tried different ROMS like Xiaomi EU and CrDroid, but I got the same problem. The only ROM that worked without WLAN problems was Pixel Experience, but its draining my battery too hard. Can anyone help me with this strange problem? Btw I already made a thread where I said I fixed it, but the problem came back after 2 restarts.

so I have a k20pro device (chinese rom, imported from china), bought it last year. I worked fine at first. However when I tried to upgrade it to MIUI 10 (chinese rom). It got freezing and blackscreen. the store said it was the screen problem and suggest screen replacement. I refused due to the high price. Then I just put the phone there until today, after 8 month I open it and upgrade to UI11 and it is working better. it still has freezing but no permanent black screen.
is that the software or hardware issue?
You already Fix this problem dude? I have the same problem

Guys im 90% sure its hw issue, i had touchscreen issues till i got new screen. Sometimes when i wanted to check what time is it and unlock my phone, touchscreen wasnt responding till the moment when the touchscreen was completly dead. I think many k20s has some touchscreen issues, but for the price its worth it.
It is a software issue. It started after the upgrade to MIUI 12 and it mostly happens when I use the Uber app. I usually have to restart the device. It is not a hardward issue. I think it should be solved after the next update.
