I have a problem with GPS. Rarely finds satellites and loses them. I noticed the problem after the installation of the update from 1 January.
Has anyone noticed similar problems on their device?
This is really annoying. Especially when it comes to navigation.
I'll add that I've already removed the case and it didn't help anything.
Greets.
I second this. I have the same issue w/ my GPS.
The problem has solved itself. I don't know how, but everything has returned to normal.
I have the same problem after Oreo update. Then a new update came and the problem stoped for a while, but now it's back!
Does anyone have a solution or workaround?
Same here...

I'm using CM7 on my Nexus One. The issue happened twice; right now the GPS is working fine but I'd like to find what can be done to diagnose this, or if there's anyone out there who already knows a fix...
Here's what it looks like:
I turn on the GPS, open GNavigation (or Waze, or Maps). GPS gets a fix but when I start driving, it doesn't update my location. After a while, it loses the fix, the reacquires it, still doesn't update it, loses fix again, and this keeps happening as 5-minute long loops.
Here's how it looks like in the GPS Status app:
It's as if GPS gets a fix, then hangs (my coordinate are not updated in GPS Status app) without giving any errors, then turns itself off and on, gets a fix again, rinse and repeat.
What I tried:
Reset and download A-GPS state. Reset dalvik cache using recovery. Reset A-GPS state, turn off GPS, turn off phone, turn on phone (and variations of this). Didn't work...
What worked:
Finally I got sick of it and took out my real GPS device. I didn't turn off nexus' navigation (wanted to torture it a bit out of spite and frustration).
After driving for 40 minutes (and nexus finding, losing, finding ... GPS fixes as I was driving), suddenly it got a fix, and it just started working again without problems.
Anyone know what's happening here and how to fix it? Thanks so much in advance
You are not alone
Rebooting almost always fixes it for me. Unfortunately it takes several minutes.
Airplane mode also instantly fixes it, but then you lose A-GPS and all communications.
Radio updating may fix the problem.
Try flashing a latest radio image.
Latest radio
Thanks. I guess a new, functioning radio would indeed solve the problem.
However, I already have the latest radio flashed: 32.50.0032U_5.12.00.08 for the Nexus One. Earlier radios have other heavy shortcomings, so they are not a good option.
i wold know if it was good be4
cuz it was worked fine but now ive same problem
i thought this problem form rom
but now i dont know the reson
sorry 4 broken eng
thx
I am waiting for ICS and hope that will fix it.
I've had my new Seat Leon for a week now and have been using Android Auto a little in this time. I really like it but it seems buggy. For example when using maps, the images will freeze, only updating every couple of minutes. When you are trying to follow an on screen map while travelling at 60mph, this can be very annoying. The other bug I seem to have is that my car seems picky when connecting to my phone (Nexus 5) sometimes. It will say 'not compatible' and will refuse to connect. The only way to solve these two issues is to restart my phone and sometimes to also toggle the USB debugging check box.
Is there anywhere to report bugs to Google? I'd like to help the community in ironing out these issues.

Open the Android Auto app.
Tap the 3 dots at top right.
Select "Help & Feedback" and then select Feedback at the bottom.
I'm honestly not sure it will help too much though. There are no idle employees waiting for problem reports who spring into action at a new report.
But if Google sees 100 reports of Problem X, it might move X a bit higher in their priority list.
The freeze problem is actually new to Android Auto, and it started for me on July 31th. Google changed something server-side because even two clean installs didn't solve the issue, and it was working flawlessy until that day. No solutions found so far, had to switch to an iPhone to navigate. Read my report here:

That seems to be the same issue I'm getting. But strangely this isn't happening all the time. The pattern seems to be when I connect the phone to the car, set up the Google maps navigation, stop and disconnect the phone (for example getting lunch on my way into work), then connect again and continue the navigation. When connecting for the second time I get the issue whereby the refreshing doesn't seem to happen. As you say in your other forum post, this seems to update when you touch the screen.
Hopefully if this bug has only appeared in the last few days, hopefully someone will spot it and report back to get a fix. I've written a brief feedback note saying that I have found a bug and am interested to help them get it fixed!
I see a lot of people having problems with certain phones. I have Note Edge and never a problem. My wife has a s6 and used to have problems about 10 minutes into a drive (Black Screen, no control, most other probs mentioned here). Read somewhere if you load the "Android Auto App" on the phone first and then plug in. She has never had a problem Since. Something happens on App load that is not happening on "Auto Launch on detection" (My gut feeling is something to do with bluetooth). Just wanted to pass it along for those people having issues. I am sure google will fix at some point but give it a try and see if it solves your issues. It did ours.

Yes! If something fails with Bluetooth, then the AA connection disconnects. I hope Google fix this soon.
Looking for some answers on the GPS. Mine constantly loses signal. Google Maps and Waze would often veer off course by about 20 yards. I also noticed that in Waze, the speedometer is delayed by at least 2 seconds.
It drives me nuts when I come to a stop on my phone but the GPS shows I'm still going at 15mph and it goes through the intersection, causing Waze/Maps to spin around and re-routing me.
I've tried various GPS fix apps in the play store to no avail.
This happens in the city and rural area for me. Anyone else experiencing this problem with the GPS?
Created an account just to reply to this.... i'm experiencing the exact same issue. I've had the phone for about 3 months and the GPS issue that you described juts started happening in the past week or so. I'm wondering if it was a software update or if something happened to the hardware...
Hello guys:
I have an issue with GPS. Sometimes the apps like Google Maps, Moovit, Tinder don't recognize my location. I have set High Accuracy. I tried using third apps, hard reset, but I can't find the solution.
If I reset the phone, the issue dissapear. After a while, the GPS starts to fail. But's very annoying restart the phone to solve de issue.
I updated to September 5th. Everything stock.
Could anybody help me, please?
Hi Guys,
Ever since me and my wife updated to 9.0, we have been having issues with calling. Caller on the other side cannot hear unless we reboot the phone. Never had this issue during oreo. It's kind of strange that both of us are having the same issue.
This will happen 2-3 days or sometimes a week after reboot out of nowhere. Unless I reboot, other person cannot hear. However whatsapp calling works. it's definitely not a mic problem. Anyone has the same issue or know how to trouble shoot? To reset the phone is one option. I have disabled all apps that Huawei automatically kills due to their stupid battery saving feature. But it hasn't really helped.
Any idea?

Same issue here and its annoying as hell but no fix found yet but ur not alone lol
I've had this also. I hang up and redial, usually works second time round. But the issue is very intermittent.
Could it be a VoWiFi issue?
