I have updated to Pie yesterday and I found that my GPS is kind of not working.
When I start any navigation app, it gets my position but then it just doesn't work. Also, when I fired up the GPS Status app, I didn't get any GPS fix even after 5 minutes in my car.
Does anyone have the same problem or knows how to fix it? I am afraid that a factory reset won't help.. Should I try to wipe the cache partition?
The phone hasn't been rooted
Thanks
Here in Portugal we have some users with the same problem. Mine has the same problem too .

No, I haven't unlocked nor rooted it, it's completely stock
Might try to reboot it several times, although I already have. Thanks
I have the issue, any of you found a solution?
If not, do you now where to find information to do a rollback to 8.1?
Thanks

Hi.
I have the same.
Go to settings, Security and location, Location, Google location accuracy and turn off Increase location accuracy.
When you turn this off, gps will start to work again.

This worked for me, at least I think. I haven't tried to navigate anywhere, yet, but I get stable continuous fixes in my house.
Thanks!
Disabling google location accuracy did fix it for me.

Hi, I,m using Mokee rom for quite sometime now. From what I experience, this rom is by far the best rom in terms of HD gaming (lag free). But there just one problem that keeps bugging me. During using wifi, when the screen turn off, you can never turn on the screen back again. It seems that the phone power has been switch off & the only way to switch it back again by removing the battery. Has anyone experience this?
yes! this rom does have that problem. I call it "wifi death lock"
solution: dont leave your phone by itself. use any app that will keep the screen awake like miui music app...

Thanks mate, I'll try that...but does it drain battery?
there will be very little extra drain.... give it a try...
At last...I have found the solution to "wifi death lock" problem. Its an apk called "Advance Wifi Lock". You can search that app at ipmart forum because Play Store version are not full version. Just install that app & set the "Auto Disable Grace Period" option to 0 second. Don't forget to add the widget to desktop for your convenience to turn it on when using wifi. @ Zuk/Whyzee, can u add this app to the first post of the Mokee thread as I'm cannot make comment/reply because I'm a new member. Hope this can help...
try PMing zuk. I'll include it in my thread...
UPDATE:
i was using wifi today and didn't face the wifi lock problem. though the screen locked itself wifi wasnt disconnected and i was able to unlock without any kind of problems. Weird, is it?

The problem still happening to me. I guess I still have to rely on "Advance Wifi Lock". By the way, are you sure that you're not using "Advance Wifi Lock" during that time?
yes I'm sure.
btw, flash my patch and I see. maybe that did the trick?!

I was downloading "Run Run Bear" yesterday through wifi and the phone went to sleep when it was still downloading. But I was able to unlock it and even play the game without any problems.....
UPDATE:
yes you are right the SOD is still there. But it only happens when the wifi is on and inactive. If you are downloading something through wifi there's no SOD
SOD fixed!!!!

Did anyone notice constant "Searching using GPS" notification after Lollipop update
Hi guys,
I have Note 4 Exynos version N910C and I have just received OTA Lollipop update for my region. After update everything was ok until the day before yesterday when I needed to change the sim, so it was the first restart after the update. After restart I noticed that there is constant "searching using GPS" notification when I am in the building and seems to went out when I am outside, which means there is some app is constantly searching for GPS and it also seem to drain my battery. So I was inspecting in the settings under Location saw that Yahoo weather which I use as lock screen has reported high battery usage. So tried to clear the app data and voila....the notification went of and everything seem to be at normal. Then I tried to restart the phone and the notification displays again and remain again constant. So now after each restart I have to clear data from Yahoo weather to turn off the "searching using GPS" notification and for my phone not drain the battery. I think it might be some flaw in Yahoo weather after Lollipop update. I did not do factory reset after OTA update so the problem might be because of that.
Just wanted to share for someone who might face the same issue.
I had it on the 910F. Turned off that option for that app. User daemon? I think it was called. Check GPS log. They say by clearing it's cache it'll fix it. But I disabled it as I don't use the widget.
I think that's the Unified daemon which provides data to samsung apps like location for weather.
Yes. That's the one. I have it disabled and it worked wonders. GPS works perfectly, except for that widget.

No need to be rooted. Find it in options. Location. And there it will be with high under its usage. Everything else should be low....
Well that sucks for us that use the widget...
just remember that when you disabled it, you wont get the latest or regular weather update in your note 4.
I've noticed that since the lollipop update I lose the last known position on the GPS. This is used to get a fast fix. So after a reboot I need to go outside to get a GPS fix. Over I've got the first fix the subsequent fixes are sick, even indoors. It's like the GPS is not using a-GPS or Wi-Fi location based services to get an approximate fix to speed up the first fix.

Mine has seemed rather high recently too, and I am getting poor screen times.

Nope its not seems right.
google play services should be around %3-6. max.
did u try factory reset?
Well, that was too much I guess. Gotta look at your logcat, probably it's stuck doing something.

What should I do?
Edit: I flashed a new MIUI Multi v. 8.0.3.0. So far so good.
Edit: Unfortunately the problem persists. The Battery use of the Google Play service is about 17% so far. Is there any solution?

It is caused by google location services not working properly in MIUI 8. Turn off location in settings or set to device only.

I have the issue even with location off. Same problem exists on 8.1.3.0 stable. I think it depends on WiFi rather than GPS.

After turning location off, restart phone. If it still happens with location off then its a different problem completely.
Turn off Google Location History?
Now I have the same issue with the Google play services on eu Stable 8.6.1. The battery drain is about 22%. How can I track what cause this? Can it be app or phone related? Obviously only few of us have this bug.
Hi there,
I'm having problems with the GPS since the update to OS4... Before that I could record my runs with apps (runkeeper, polar) and never had a problem.
After the update I had 2 runs where my GPS signal was lost (or the apps stopped without notification)....
Is there a way to go back to an older version of OS, or would a factory reset help?

Factory reset is the first one you should try.But before that try to download kinda test apps for testing the gps .

But how test gps? It works for the first 6km....and than something stopped, maybe the app.. But Wednesday I used another app and that stopped recording also... Don't know if app stops after losing gps signal.. So maybe the apps are the problem... Not stable for use with Nougat maybe, because on MM everything was working fine

yes there is always a way to revert back to older build.Just download stock version which ever you want and flash it using recovery and voila you have your stable version back where gps worked for sure.

Yes but it is ok One plus even gives you warranty on Unlocked bootloader.
This phone generally has very poor gps. I'm talking about from oos 3..5.4 it was really bad so idk if it got any better because I'm oos 4.0.1 and it's just as bad.

At the moment I've reinstalled the running apps that were giving me problems so look what happens now
Is the toolkit here on XDA working ok with OS4?
I guess it might me antenna hidden somewhere in bad place or something and it is not software dependant? Otherwise they would fix it

Gps worked better in 3.5.4 than on 4.01 signal is good but it calculates 22m accuracy an this wig good with lock on 17 satellites and strong signal .. and losses connection way to often.. (its something system/cpu/powering related..) needs to be fixed !!!
Maybe you have "active doze mode enabled" in battery settings... this renders GPS almost unusable as it kill /gps resets and locks again( and it way to often in background...

I got my 3T today tested the gps on 3.5.3 works perfectly acuracy is with in 10 meters.gonna test is later on using OS 4
on my old HTC one m7, I have accuracy min 6m when I am outside and next to OP3 where 10m accuracy is a max what I can get with fluctuations to 15-50m all the time. I have no idea what is going on. Also compass is behaving weirdly and not always showing correct North.
Same here, OxygenOS 4.0.2 broke the GPS
I use navigation a lot with my phone (Google Maps). I had no issues with the GPS quality and speed on Marshmellow (OxygenOS 3.2.8). Got the update to Nougat (OxygenOS 4.0.2) a week ago.
Since the upgrade, GPS often does not get a fix for several minutes, often puts me several 100 meters away from where I am, and keeps loosing the GPS fix every few minutes while I am driving. It is basically unusable for navigation.
I am now taking along my good old LG G4 every day just to use it as a navigation device. Have been running both phones in parallel in the car; the G4 gets me to my destination while I would not be able to find anything with the OnePlus 3....
I am already considering downgrading back to 3.2.8. But I'd have to factory reset and reinstall everything, that sucks
I recently had GPS issues on OOS 4.0.2 until I turned off Wi-Fi Scanning. After turning it off, GPS works normal.
Settings > Location > 3 Dot Menu > Scanning > Turn Off Wi-Fi Scanning
