Hi guys,
So gps is not working well. Waze and google maps can't get a close on my location when i'm trying to navigate. I've had this issue with the first version of the pie update but that was fixable with disabling some google service in the gps settings. Now that does not help. Any of you have this issue? Can anything be done to resolve this?
Cheers
Hi,
I'm facing the same problem too. This is getting really frustrating. One update fixes the problem and the next one messes it up again. I'm really tired of this...

Hi,
I've been having problem for some time with GPS and Google Navigator: after a while the navigator looses the GPS fix and never regains it. The odd thing is that I have no problem with Waze.
Do you have any clue of what could be the problem and how to fix it?
I have a stock ROM and the phone is not rooted.
Thanks
A-GPS update ?
Have you tried any apps like "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the play store to force update/reset your A-GPS data ? It might sound dumb ...

Try to use a mysterious feature in this forum, namely: search feature.
However, as I see that you're unfamiliar with it, please refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043034 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697217
Hi im having problem with gps it freezes and sometimes it just looses track of where i am and thinks my car on another street.i tried google maps and tomtom both do that.I tried pure nexus and cataclysm rom and this happens also.
I'm having the same issue. Hopefully someone figures this problem out, and passes the solution to us.

Without a logcat of the issue there is almost no way to fix it. Many things can effect the gps. Some you can do something about and some you cant. Its not always the device/rom that has an issue.
Dear All,
I have been a LP 5.1.1 user since the beginning and I didn't change anything but all of a sudden I can't use Google Maps as I don't get a fix. I used GPS test and also no fix.
I had this problem before and did some fiddling and got it working again. But I forgot what I exactly did. But I don't think its a hardware failure but a software glitch.
Hopefully somebody here with same problems.

hy, try to update Google play app. or one more thing, uninstall completely Google play app, reboot the device, and install it again.
I would love to try your suggestion but could you please be more specific? Which app are you talking about the playstore app or the Google app services app? How can I Uninstall such apps on a stock lollipop 5.1.1? I have never rooted my phone or whatsoever a real strange problem that showed up out of the blue.
Did a whole f*cking reflash with stock android (wiped all the data with flashtool) 5.1.1. but it didn't resolve the problem... time for a new phone.
I think this is not software problem. It was happened when I flashed to 5.0. I think flashing from 4.** to 5.0 killed my gps. After tried all kind of solutions in sent my phone to Sony service centre. The changed my motherboard without any questions. And my warranty was extended to +2 years. I think Sony know exactly what is problem. And my opinion is that is hardware problem. I also think this problem is just with first generation of z3c. My friends bought this phone later with android 5.** don't have any problems.
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.
Actually, I haven't occurred any issue since this morning. I think it is related to building i am inside.

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?
