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).

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.

Do you always have bad reception, or just in this rom?
First, set up the same apn you got in miui. Miui und lineage have different default apns, so it might not work out of the box.
If it is the same after that, let us know.
(ps have the same issue, but I always got horrible reception no matter if miui or los so it is hard for me to test)

only in this ROM, in MIUI no issue.
i found work around in my device, if you in network mode 4G (LTE) change it to 3G, then when normal change it back to 4G. you have to do this every time your device restart.
Hello All, does this ROM still in development and with many bugs?
Still looking Android 6 or up for my old Redmi Note 2...thanks

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.

Hello all! I am running the latest official EEA rom (10.2.26.0). Every 3 or 4 hours, when I open google maps and try to navigate to somewhere it shows that I am offline. The phone is connected to the internet (i open a browser to check and it works). The problem is solved with a simple reboot. Has anyone noticed the same thing?
I googled and found that one possible solution would be to uninstall and then reinstall the updates to google maps, via the play store. Try and update if it helped.
Thank you crazybill, I came across the solution but thought it was just an answer like "Have you tried to turn it of and on again" . I will give it a try and report back in a few days. I am preparing myself for a factory restore if everything else fails!
You might want to switch from the EEA ROM to Global. Xiaomi has been having problems with bugs on supposedly stable MIUI builds but the MI 9 EEA ROM seems to be plagued with far more serious bugs than the Global.
When I was running EEA there was a bug that killed the sound from incoming calls on Volte and disabled WiFi Calling. This was on a "beta stable" build that Xiaomi pushed out to many phones (including mine) via OTA. That was last month but there have been recent reports on XDA from MI 9 owners running EEA who are currently experiencing the same issue.
Reportedly the latest EEA OTA is also bricking some phones--but that's why I always unlock the bootloader on Xiaomi phones. The same thing was happening to some owners of Mix 2, Mix 2S and MI 8 phones--a routine OTA bricked their phones. With your bootloader unlocked it's usually easy to recover but with a locked bootloader it's virtually impossible unless you are willing to open the phone and attempt an EDL Test Point reset.
You might also want to take a look at your phone's location settings. When I got my MI 9 running EEA out of the box the location settings were set to a power saving option instead of high accuracy which I didn't realize so Google Maps would lose my location periodically.
Google Maps also didn't have all the permissions it should have had and didn't ask for them which I think might have something to do with the privacy laws in the EU that the EEA ROM was created to comply with.
After reading this, instead of just doing a factory reset I switched to global stable (I had already asked for unlock permission but never got around to do it). Google maps work without any issues, thank you very much

My rog phone 2 tencent version with a global rom and fingerprint. Apparently the GPS is not working at all. Google maps and other apps not detecting any location at all.
Anyone got the same problem or solution?
thanks in advance
Works fine for me, not sure what would cause that. Do you have "Use location" on in privacy settings?

Yep. Checked all options about gps. Actually after waiting so long, the gps worked but really slow to lock the location.

No problems here and it locks on quickly - even indoors. Around 50 satellites in view and 20 in use according to GPS Test.

Thx for info pal, hope it will get better after another firmware update here ?
Have the same problem
I noticed also a problem with GPS locking, the problem persist also with the Android 10 beta rom i uodated like 2 weeks ago. Interresting fact is, i only get this when using Waze, either on the phone or through Android Auto, with Google Maps for example i working flawlessly. The only fix i got is installing an app called GPS Lock, which apparently forces the phone to lock on the satellites, but it's quite a battery consumer though. Hope also for a fix in future updates.
I happen to encounter this a lot especially when I travel. Download and install the app ''GPS Status & Toolbox" then turn off Wi-Fi. Once your Wi-Fi is turned off, open the app and that should fix it.
I had the same issue. Can see gps satellite but can't lock onto them. It was my metal bumper casing. Wasted my whole day testing things out.
Anyone figured out a solution to this ?
I'm having this issue as well. I'm using the global version btw. Hope someone posts a solution for this.
