Wondering if this is an app or phone issue asI have never experienced this before but with my Pixel 4XL maps is freezing when trying to use navigation. It has no problem locating where I am but it will not navigate. Shows "0" speed and stays fixed where you started navigating.

Hello guys,
with some of the latest firmwares (M2/especially M5) I'm experiencing a new bug - namely that the GPS simply turns off after 3 minutes of usage. I'm testing this with applications like Google Navigation or GPS Test and after a few minutes the GPS Symbol in the notification bar just disappears and the apps don't receive any position/data update.
Any ideas?
greetings
Alex
check your auto task killer
I didn't install any... I also tried to turn off almost every service running but the behaviour stays the same.
interestingly the app that uses the GPS stays open
Same happened to me. I couldn't solve it so a reflash seems to have done the trick. Can't be to sure since I haven't tested it that much so far.
I take that back. It's happening again and I can't understand why. Happens with all apps, NDrive, Navigon, GPS Status and GPS Test.
Did you find a solution?
darn...
first reflashing helped, but happens again now exactly as you describe...
It's very annoying because beside this GPS works quite well
Hi everyone,
I have this weird glitch on my phone. When I'm using Google Maps, it would randomly open the "Recent Apps" and sometimes even the "Back" button would activate on its own. I initially thought it might have to do with the wireless charging but when I use Waze, I no longer see the phone glitching. Is it a hardware failure? Is it an Android software/Google Maps bug? Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm on stock T-Mobile with Developers Options enabled, and not rooted. According to this thread (http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...random-phantom-settings-button-presses-3.html) it's the GPU rendering.
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...
Looking around is there a GPS problem with the mi 8
Nope.
There was a permission related google maps issue. Workarounds were either uninstalling google maps updates / installing an old version via apk or revoking google location access, and then starting google maps again and allowing location access again.
There is. I have issue with GPS. Not Google maps. No App that uses GPS is getting coordinates some time. And when that happens, compass is non functional. It is frozen on some angle, no matter what i do. Also gravity Sensor (for fliping screen, on YouTube for example) is non functional. And when i try to reboot phone freeze on Black screen and i must force reboot by holding powerbutton for 10 seconds.
Yeah that's not a general issue or known bug.... somethings wrong on your device.
But it is software Bug on mine device. Right after reboot everything works as expected. After some time (3 to 5 days) it goes bad. I have the phone for around one month. I didnt do any mods only updated everything to latest version. So i think it is bug.
Search around, there's a couple things you can try.
.) Edit/fix agps settings
.) Fix google maps through revoking google location access
.) if all else fails factory reset
*edit*
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/issue-mi-8-gps-t3822926/page9 read this thread backwards
It is very rare. First time i have noticed it when i started waze and for 5 minutes it doesnt showed movement and i was going 130km/h. After quick reboot with powerbutton hold sorted it. Then in 3 days i couldnt rotate YouTube video. And i had a little time so i looked it up, and compass showed 349 degrees no matter what direction phone was pointed. And i also checked GPS test App, and 0 satellites were available. That all was week ago. Now everything is working fine. And i also noticed one small problem. When phone switch from 4G of home provider to roaming 2g or 3g data wont work. I need to activate airplane mode for a while, then it register again in roaming network and it works fine.
I 7se Google Maps daily on the S10. But if the screen goes off it stops giving directions and I have to hit Start again and resume. Only way it stays on is if I start the trip and physically hold the phone and not let the screen lock. Anyone else? Never had this issue with any other phone, Galaxy or otherwise.
I have the same issue. I use Automate to automatically turn AOD on and off based on received notification. I originally thought it causes this problem. Unfortunately, I can´t proove it because I needed to drive and hadn´t time to play with the phone. Just an idea to consider.
Edit: maybe it is Google maps bug. Have you tried uninstalling app updates?
Might have to do just that. But it does seems like a Maps bug, yet it was fine on my Note 8, and the iPhone X before that. So idk if it's Maps or a software bug with the S10. Normally I just tap "start" and then immediately click the lock/wake button and set the phone down and it sends the directions through the car or headset.
Verizon variant here by the way 100% stock.
Try to prevent the phone to set the Maps app to sleep. I had a similar thing with the old version of Maps (V6 which I still use).
Just search for 'Sleeping Apps' in your settings
