My OnePlus 3T is running Build Number ONEPLUS A3000_28_180915. Android Version 8.0.0.
The issue is that my phone's GPS is working when Location is on and works with or without WiFi when I have Waze open.
But, once I use my Mobile Data + Location = my GPS now becomes intermittent especially in Waze. It keeps on connecting and disconnecting for some reason. I also have tried having my Location at High Accuracy and Device Only and the problem still exists.
I have already tried using GPS Status and Toolbox, Cleared my Cache, re-installed my OS and I still have the same result. Up to now, I have not yet been able to resolve this. I hope someone can help me with this issue.
Thank you.
I (along with a number of others) had a problem with GPS on a much older stock OOS build, around October 2017. This was a problem with the ROM having outdated aGPS data.
Not sure if that is similar to your issue. I didn't have any problems after that one build. There is a newer build than the one you are on (181206). So you might try to update, and see if that helps.

Thanks for this! I'll try updating to that this weekend if I have the time and I'll give an update here.
I honestly don't want to give up on this phone just yet even if it's already a number of generations late already.

I tried flashing the latest ROM from OnePlus for my Device and I even did a Restore Factory Settings and it still does not work. Would you have any other idea what could possibly be causing this? Thank you.

I bought the Nexus 6 (blue, 64gb) the day one, in November and since that day I noticed random reboots in a particular situation. When I switch to a WiFi network to another it shuts down and so I have to turn it on. When it turns on I have lost all my WiFi networks configurations, so passwords, dhcp settings, etc.
Random reboots rarely happen also in camera/gallery apps.
I tried to send it back to google and I received a new nexus. The first one was produced in June 2014, the new one in December 2014. The issue is still there. [emoji17] I've also tried to update to 5.1 but no resolution.
I have rooted, installed twrp, decrypted both my nexus 6 with toolkit.
How can I solve the problem? I was very happy with this phone.
Try using it completely stock and see what happens. I'd say chances are that if you set both up the same, it's something you're doing and not the hardware on 2 different phones.
But other people have made the same basic mods on their nexus and their phone has not this kind of issue.
Is it every network? Maybe try a stable custom ROM to see if it happens there too. Could be a problem with specific networks or even apps. Troubleshooting is the key. First try full wipe, no restored Apps.
I could be as simple as an app the developer has not updated since gingerbread or something stupid like that.
Is there a way to find the malicious app?
There definitely *was* a bug causing loss of wifi networks, and I think there may also have been a reboot involved there (not sure if we rebooted it manually, or if it just did it on its own as a response to a wpa_supplicant crash...). It was across the board for Android 5.0 though, not limited to Nexus 6. I saw my wife's Nexus 5 do it once. Never actually had it happen on my 6.
I'm not sure if this bug was fixed or not, since it wasn't something we tried to reproduce, and only happened once. The bug is definitely related to wpa_supplicant, since that is the only program that actually interacts with its configuration file (which is where the wifi configurations are actually stored).
As far as galleries go, you're not giving much to guess by. I certainly haven't seen galleries cause reboots like that. Maybe you are using a bad one?
Try this gallery; https://github.com/lbdroid/Android-Binaries/blob/master/Gallery2.apk
That is the actual AOSP gallery, modified to install as a standalone application. The source code is in another repository on my github.
*note: it will not do you any good at all to swap out your phone, since there is no indication that you are experiencing a hardware issue.
But why other people doesn't experience this problem that is related to WiFi? All people use WiFi and every time. Is there a way to fix the WPA_supplicant issue? Maybe a custom ROM?
My first n6 had also an hw issue, I think, because before it rebooted it gave me some little "buzz" from the top speaker.

all people use WiFi is an incorrect statement. you can say most ppl use wifi, but all would never happen. I hate using WiFi and NEVER use it except when its absolutely necessary. ive probably used WiFi 2 times on my n6 since getting my n6 in November, and there's no WiFi issues here.

Yes, start with stock and install a few apps at a time until you get the problem. Given the fact that you have 2 different phones experiencing the same problem, it is much more likely that it is something software related rather than hardware (though I suppose it could be possible if you're really unlucky ).

You said that it happens when you change from one wifi network to another. Most people don't do that. Most people have one wifi network at a time and don't change it.
There is also a huge difference between wifi network configurations... A/B/N/AC, frequency, bandwidth, multiple-bands, encryptions, etc.

Hi,
I am running android 7.0 on my nexus. I updated to android 7 about 2 weeks back and the device was working perfectly until yesterday when all of a sudden the wifi stopped working. What I am facing is this:
I turn on the wifi and I dont see any network although my laptop and some other android devices are connected to the SSID.
I have both 2.4G and 5GHz SSID but the phone cannot see any network (it keeps on searching for networks endlessly).
I have performed a network setting reset, a factory reset, even re installed the factory image but no luck.
I am still not sure whether it is a hardware damage because the phone did not fall or came in contact with water or any such thing.
please guide.
Thanks,
Sid.

Hi, I forgot to mention that. I have also performed a reboot for modem and router too . Plus, my phone cannot see any network. I checked with other devices and there are about 8 to 10 SSIDs around my home and I see none of them.
If you would like to see some specific log files, then please guide me and I will attach them here.
Thanks,

Check radio version and if not latest flash 42 radio from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3066052 I had similar issue on MM and fixed it by reflashing modem zip.

Hi,
I checked my baseband version. I am using the latest one.
following are the details that I see in the bootloader section:
Bootloader = moto-apq8084-71.21
Baseband = D4.01-9625-05.42+FSG-9625-02.113
The Link also shows the same baseband version as this one.
Are you suggesting that I should flash only the "radio.modem.img" that inside the downloaded zip?
Thanks,
Sid.
I flashed zip as is from TWRP. No harm in updating radio again to same version it may fix the issue.

Hi,
I re-flashed the radio using the zip file through TWRP but still no luck!
Could it be an issue of a broken driver binary?
I also flashed cyanogenmod 13 and the WiFi did not work even then.
Thanks,

Hi All,
Quick Update. I have noticed that my bluetooth is also not working. It cannot find any bluetooth devices around while I have my laptop's bluetooth turned on and visible to devices.
My laptop cannot detect the phone's bluetooth either.
I tried creating a wifi hotspot to check if I can see the created wifi AP but that is not visible to other devices too.!
After searching a bit on internet I found out that Nexus 6 uses a single BroadCom BCM4356 Controller that has both 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.1 functionality.
If it is indeed a hardware damage issue, shouldn't it be considered under manufacturing defect and be replaced/repaired even though my phone warranty has expired this august?
If your warranty is expired, you'll have to pay to get the motherboard replaced. Especially as there is a 4-month gap between warranty expiration and now.
Hi All,
Thanks a lot guys for your help. One last question before I decide to use this phone as a paperweight for now:
I noticed that when I check my data usage in settings. I see two modes.
1.) Cellular data usage.
2.) WiFi data usage.
In Cellular data usage, the Billing Cycle is set to start from 14th of every month and, hence, the graph in usage statistics is from Nov-14 to Dec-13. which shows some activity because I am using it.
However, In WiFi usage, It says 0B used between Oct 18 - Nov 15. But, when I open the statistics, the timeline in the graph says Jan 1, 1970. Isn't that unusual?
Is it normal to see that time? Assuming that the hardware has gone bad, aren't the statistics built by android processes and hence should have correct timeline?
I am attaching 3 screenshots for reference.
Thanks a lot,
Sid,

If the issue came out along with latest version, then I'd suggest downgrading to last known working version.
What country are you in?

hey, i have been having the same problem. i thought it was the hardware.
This phone has the most unstable GPS I've used in my entire life of keeping smartphones. It would occasionally have glitches on Nougat but on Oreo the compass just keeps on rotating, not able to determine the correct direction.
Hell a cheaper Galaxy has better GPS functionality compared to the 3T honestly. When it works, it works but when it doesn't it just keeps on switching positions.
The only fix I have been able to find is using the debrick tool to completely refresh my smartphone and then directly updating to Oreo after using the GPS on Marshmallow for a while. Now, it works but still has those occasional hiccups. Still, far better than what I had earlier on Nougat! So maybe try that.
EDIT:
Also fixed the blue dot not moving when I am driving.

Hi, i somehow fix the issue though not permanently. I disable maps app and then enable it again. It seem to work fine now. After the same problem persist i fix the issue by doing the above step.
I don't get it whether there is a problem in one plus 3T hardware or the google maps.

I figured as much, but wanted to confirm; since 5.0.2 is intended for India.

If it's from the latest update, then it's probably the ROM update, not the hardware or Google Maps.
Folks (including myself) had a very similar issue with 5.0.0, but was fixed with 5.0.1. OnePlus somehow broke the aGPS data, in that case; and then fixed it with the subsequent release. So maybe new aGPS data is downloaded when you disable/enable Google Maps (just a guess)?
A member made a (partial) fix at the time (5.0.0), but I have no idea if this will play well with 5.0.2, and it hasn't been updated for some time. Also requires TWRP to flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...pps--mods/aroma-region-based-gps-fix-t3683548
In any case, it wasn't a silver bullet solution. But at least seemed to help for me, at the time. If your workaround is satisfactory, you might just stick with that for now.
You might also try downgrading to 5.0.1, at your own risk and discretion, of course.
Since latest patch I can't get to seem get a lock at all unless I turn on my WiFi. Any one else facing this issue?
I wish I read this before updating... same issue here
One more same one. I've had this issue since last week. I don't know if there was that issue before last week. Last week, i turned GPS on and runned Google Maps. Somehow, the app couldn't find my location. But when i set the GPS mode as "Only device" , it works. In my opinion this issue is caused by software bug.
Actually this issue for me was happening when I was in September patch. I haven't tested the GPS in October patch

Just tested and GPS works fine for me in the newest October patch
No problem for me with the update.

Only Google Maps working. Sygic and Here we go have problems finding GPS:
I had the same problem with all navigation apps (Here and Google), but when I installed Map Factor, it worked well. Then I did reset of Here and Google and they work for now
Hi I just update my P20 Pro to EMUI 9.0.0.178 and my GPS stops working, everytime I use Google Map it says "searching for GPS" and leaves me a grey dot. It's becoming a headache since I heavily rely on it for driving. Does anyone have the same problem with their phone? I tried restarting it, toggling location, reloading the app, still the same problem.
please help.
i have same problem
Mines was jumping all over the place today. Is there a way to calibrate the compass?
I try to restart the phone everytime this problem shows up, and it seems to solve the problem. But it's annoying knowing I have to restart it everytime to make it work...
My wife and I have the same problem since the update. It looks like the GPS lag to update the position. Rebooting seems to solve the problem temporarily... But I don't want to have to reboot every other day.
Same problem here. Has anyone gotten a solution or has it started working again by itself?
Has anyone tried refreshing the a-gps data? Might help, I use gps test plus.

Same issue here. Rebooting brings things back but that's not a solution. I'm on 9.0.0.178 with the CLT-L04 in Toronto.
going to check this soon.
No problem with GPS on my Pro.
9.0.0.163
OTG Update with full wipe
I have the same issue but only with google maps. Waze and other GPS functions work fine. I usually reboot and it works for a few hours.
Huawei acknowledged a problem
It's my first time posting here, as it's the first major problem I've had with my P20 Pro over the past year. I started experiencing GPS problems after the last software update. Like others reported, they'd go away after reboot but not for long. I tried a factory reset, which doesn't seem to have helped either.
I contacted Huawei support in Canada via their website. I got a response today which first suggested I try wiping the cache partition (restart my phone, hold down the volume-up button, then you get to an EMUI maintenance screen with this option - this also didn't help any more than restarting). But it also acknowledged that there is a known issue that they are working on fixing in the next update. I quote:
" In case the issue persists, we would like to inform you that this is related to the new software update, however, Huawei is currently working to solve it. This issue will be optimized in the new version, this one is expected to be released in March. You will automatically receive this update that will solve this issue your phone is facing."
I thought you all might like to know this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
I just updated to the 9.0.0.236 version available through FirmwareFinder and rooted as well. GPS is working normally again!

There's an issue with the latest pie ( android 9.0) and the P20 Pro that bugs the gps out, you have to restart your phone every times you want to use your gps. There should be a patch around March 21st 2019. In the meantime if you want, you can always factory reset, which would solve the issue, and wait before reinstalling the latest firware
Any news about that issue ? I have the model CLT-L29 C636E2R1P12 with Android 9.0.0.234 and it's not working the gps....
I have the 213 update for my L04 and it now works great! If you have the Canadian model, check for the update! It didn't work with the 178, now it does!
Im also experiencing gps problem CLT-L29(C636) 9.0.0.234
i thought that i had the same issue but finally i found out that the problem was the new phone-case i put which has metal parts and blocks the gps signal. After remove the case gps works as it should.
Mine doing same. Always searching for gps. How did u fix it?
Same here. At first I thought it's EMUI, but the GPS was still broken after flashing lineage... Any chance that the gps will work again if I roll back to EMUI 8.1?
