Android 10 Update: no more network location, how to fix? - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

After the 10 update my devices cell tower and wifi location doesn't work anymore, GPS is fine.
Any ideas how to fix? I don't consider a hard reset as a fix.

Network stats shows 31 000 wakelocks in the last 8h.

If you don't consider a factory reset as a fix you will likely be stuck with these bugs forever, it is well known after a major OS update like 9 > 10 that you should factory reset afterwards, the upgrade leaves behind rubbish files from the previous OS version that cause issues like this, battery drain and other unresolvable problems
Backup then factory reset

I deactivated the assisted gps location by wifi and cell tower in the settings, that also solved the wakelock issue, so it could be just the location part that needs a reset. But I wouldn't know how.

Nexus One drops data signal, reboot required

Here's the situation: For about a month now I've been having issues with my data not working on my N1. Presently, I'm on Paranoid Android ROM, but have tried fixing the situation by flashing SpazeDawg, experiencing the same issue. My phone shows bars, and cycles between H, 3G, and E depending on where I am, but it's faded out, not blue; like it's not connecting. I do have voice and texting, however. I flashed the new Korean radio months and months ago, but I tried flashing back to 5.08.00.04, with no change in result. I've tried resetting the APNs to default, which after a reboot fixes the problem temporarily. I've run out of ideas on how to fix this, or isolate the problem. I'd rather not get rid of my N1, but the more I work on it, I'm beginning to think it is a hardware issue. Tried a new sim card, too! Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
I've been having similar problems ever since switching to ICS so I think it's just inherent. I've found that toggling data off and on again fixes the issue most of the time. So it's quicker solution than rebooting but still not ideal. Hopefully a fix appears but in the mean time I'm willing to live with it. For what it's worth, I've found Evervolv to be the most stable in terms of lost connection but YMMV...

Ongoing 3G issues with Galaxy S3 mini

Hello guys,
For the past year or so I am having intermittent problems with my 3g connection. It just loses the connection with the mobile internet without any error messages and the only way to fix this is rebooting the phone. At first it happened every couple months but the intervals between connection losses seems to get shorter. The last few months it was every 10-14 days, now it's every 5 days. Since a reboot seems to fix this I don't think there is a physical defect on my 3g chip but the shortening intervals are somewhat worrying. I checked my APN settings multiple times and I've called my carrier's tech support several times but they too can't seem to find anything wrong with my APN settings. I'm currently using a custom ROM (OmniROM based on Android 4.4.4 with the Stagefright patch included) but this problem existed even in the original ROM so I doubt it's a kernel/driver issue. Is there anyone knowledgeable enough to pinpoint the problem or at least help me in the right direction because it's becoming a bit annoying and I dislike not being able to figure out WHY something happens. ^^"
The issue you have mentioned applied also to my phone, but it appeared for the first time after installing Omni from golden-guy. I haven't observed it on my stock rom. At the very beginning, I was able to mitigate the issue by turning airplane mode on and off. As you mentioned, the issue's frequency was increasing over time, leading to more than one signal lost per day. Airplane mode solution stopped working. I have also tried to kill (and got restarted) rild, as well as radiod - with no luck. Logs (I haven't checked kmesg) revealed nothing. I'm not sure the details of your issue, but I was loosing the whole GSM/WCDMA signal, not only the Internet access. Meanwhile, the system seemd to be looking for a network, draining my battery.
I still hope that the solution was to replace my SIM card with a new one from the operator. After that, about a month ago, the issue happened only once, and airplane mode on and off solved it. It's worth to notice, that turning airplane mode on took quite long time, about 30 seconds.
I'm having GT-I8190, Omni version 4.4.4-20151108, baseband I8190XXAMG (I'm not sure if it is distributed along with the rom, or maybe resides on different partition, and is not updated with the omni rom releases).

Did you check logcat? If you didn't then logcat might show what the problem is. And your problem sounds more severe than mine. I only lose 3g but I can still call and send text messages. A problem with the simcard might be possible but it could also be a physical problem with the simcard slot though I can't say why rebooting or turning airplane mode off and back on would fix that.

I just wanted to confirm that I have similllar issue with 3g data connection. S3 mini with I8190XXAMG4 baseband. Stock ROM used for last few years (without any significant issues with 3g data connections), upgraded to latest CM11 20151017 from maclaw/novafusion. I noticed that there are some glitches with 3g data connections. Sometimes I need to tap few times before connection finally is being established. Funny thing is that I have second s3 mini with the same CM11 20151017 and all is OK.
I tried a lot of another ROMs; fifferent version of CM11, OmniROM (4.4.4 and 5.1.1), CM12.1 - problem remains - issues with 3g data connection. Is there any solution to get rid of this 3g data issue?

Yes, logcat (main, radio, events) revealed nothing but just signal drop to 0%. At that time, I didn't know about kmsg and system logcat buffer, so I haven't checked them.

Just tried this, and it helped. Usually, when something is not working, people try to turn it off and on again.
I always had rare glitches with mobile data connectivity, and turning mobile data off and on again always solved the problem. I think our problems my be hardware related. I suppose my old SIM card could have buggy software, i.e. advertising to support some newer protocol, but actually didn't. After upgrading, the phone tried to use the new advertised protocol, and got confused, or made the SIM confused.
I also know about cases, when SIM card simply died without any reason.
I used Note 2 about two years, flashed different roms and never had troubles, but then my friend used it about 3 months on 5.0.2 custom and got troubles with gsm/wcdma. My next samsung phone become our beloved i8190. Flashed it from stock to 5.0.2 CM, than 5.1.1, after month got first Cellular bugs. Tried another LP and some KK roms, my troubles with baseband became more and more frequently every day, flashed different modems, changed much settings in system.. So I was desided that it's all HW problems, and hated Samsung for such failure. But one day just tried to install Project Noble, and all this troubles gone forever. So it's just drivers, which not optimised for new Android versions. 4.1.2 mixed with old TouchWiz after fresh and clean Lollypop feels horrible, but we can do nothing with it.

But if it's hardware related, wouldn't you think that rebooting our phone or turning airplane mode on and off wouldn't fix it? And did you see in the logcat log if something happened before the signal drop? Sometimes events prior to the signal drop can also tell something about the cause.

Hardware could also have its state, which may get corrupted and reset on reboot.

To me GPS it's working fine as on Oreo.I dont know , have you tried to do factory reset and re-install the firmware ?
me too help plese !!! italy firmware
Yep, same problem. I have a few apps that all fail to get the location.
.first pie with sg firmware gps works normal, after gel firmware gps doesn't worked with some apps normal. i have do start the app twice or more.upgrade with newflasher
I have GPS problem with Android 8.0.0
I think the GPS chips in our phones are just horrible.
Sent from my G8441 using Tapatalk
Me too, italiano firmware, gps stop working after upgrade to Android 9
Please help US with GPS we have Need to drive
I did a clean install of customized IT firmware and GPS works fine.
The same - GPS not working on 47.2.A.8.24 Customized DE, original firmware was Customized CE1
Its hard to notice the issue as most of applications are using Google Location service which does very good job in the urban areas - but whenever I go to the mountains the issue pops up.
Edit: clearing A-GPS data with GPS status & Toolbox app and reboot helped, lets see for how long.
EDIT: GPS stopped working after 23 hours, clearing AGPS and reboot did not help, fighting
Did someone find a fix to this very annoying issue?
Hey everyone
To people who encountered this issue, have you ever found a fix?
This is so annoying... It's not clear if it is a hardware or a software issue as clearing the GPS cache fixes the problem temporarily.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have come across the same issue in the past. I resolved mine by entering Service Menu (dial: *#*#7378423#*#*) and then from within the menu: Service tests -> GPS -> Purge assistance data. This resolved it for good. Reboot. Done.
Thanks,
Jack
Hi Jack,
Thanks for the update
In my case, the issue is still occurring... even if I clean the assistance data.
Did someone tried to modify the APN type in the settings ?
Something like "default,supl,a-gps,dun" instead of "default" only
I remember PIE update cleared all the parameters....
Go into airplane mode, open settings\apps & notifications\app info - find maps and force stop - go into storage and wipe the cache & data
Reboot phone, disable airplane mode.

I think I tried this once or twice a few month ago. It worked but not permanently. The issue appeared again a few days later... Does it work permanently with your phone or is it just temporary ?
The problem is still here and nobody has found any permanent fix...
Hello all,
Same problem here in a Xperia XA2. After upgrade to Android 9 Pie (50.2.A.0.379), it was not possible to get any satellite fix and GPS position was never established.
According to different apps, many satellites were visible (usually more than 20) but it was not possible to fix none of them.
Finally fixed the problem after 2 weeks trying everything I read helped other users, so I leave here the full list for reference.
Troubleshooting done after googling:
- Restart device
- Restart device in safe mode
- Clearing A-GPS data with GPS status & Toolbox app
- Turn on and off "Improve location accuracy"
- Turn off battery saver
- Turn off and on WiFi scanning.
- Purge assistance data on Service Menu
- Turn on airplane mode
Then I contacted Sony support who suggested:
- WiFi vs. SIM network/network settings
- SIM cards from different providers
- Manual vs. automatic choice of networks and preferred networks
- Network settings reset
- Factory reset
Still not solved. Contacted support again and statement was "try a Software Repair on Xperia Companion, if this is not solving the issue, it's a HW problem".
Honestly, after a Factory reset I didn't think nothing would help, but device was already wiped out, so it was worth a try.
And it worked. Satellites are getting fixed again and I have GPS positioning.
Please be aware the "Software repair" will erase all data in your mobile, but hopefully will fix GPS too
FFS!
I thought I'd found a decent small phone, but no.
HTC phones (the top-tier ones - U11 Life is crap) have always just worked!

Note 9 GPS problems after updating to One UI

Hello guys,
After updating my note 9 to the One UI I encounter some really annoying problems with my GPS.
I can't really use Waze or Gmaps because the location is not working properly. The GPS keeps losing signal all the time, city or highway.
I downloaded GPS test and it seems like the phone can't lock the signal properly, even when it succeeded, the accuracy is really bad, around 32 - 64 meter, and sometimes more.
I tried to look for other cases on the internet but I couldn't find anything.
Is anyone encounter this problem? Can offer a solution that might solve it?
Thanks.
Obviously thinking that not having problems before with Oreo excludes hardware issues, try first of all to make a wipe cache in recovery mode to see if resolves and if not, try wipe data in settings - applications of every single app involved and if all done is worthless, try even to reinstall the single app. If not resolving I think that a factory reset, always from recovery, is needed because don't know others, me included, having this issue .
I'm using a Note FE and I recently updated my device to Pie with One UI and my GPS problem is exactly like yours. I need help too. Can't seem to find any solution.

I had that issue with my note 9 sprint version when i flashed tmobile u1 android pie, i ended doing a factory reset and everything worked fine after that. My google maps would lose signal when i put phone into standby it would say lost gps signal or something like that. But if i used the app it would work fine.

WIFI problems with ASD9

Hi,
I have been having problems with wifi connectivity since ASD9. I'm connected to WIFI but chrome will say I'm offline for example and other apps won't see my phone as connected. Switching to 4G sometimes fixes the problem but often doesn't, it will still show as offline. Rebooting helps but that's not very practical. Before trying a factory reset I figured I'd share this here and see if anyone had the issue and found a fix that's less intrusive.
I have the same problem which is annoying. I found out that switching airplane mode on and off helps. Is there anyone else with same problem and updated to may patch? I wonder if its fixed.

I did a factory reset and the problem persists
Just an idea to isolate the problem, do you use adguard dns or something similiar?

None of those. I'm not rooted, no private DNS, purely stock software and no customizations. My 6T does not have this problem and this really started with the latest update. I have the same problem at work on the cafe wifi.
My wife and I are having wifi issues as well with certain apps. Tested my speed and was running 170 - 180 Mbps.
I was downloading files from my home server onto the phone this morning via WIFI and noticed it was rather slow. I was 20 feet away from my WIFI router tops (line of sight) and the phone was connected at 144Mbps. It usually is at 1054Mbps when I'm that close and only drops when I change floors.
I'm hoping this gets fixed quickly. I'm with Telus so unless they push an update, I don't really have options. I still have access to a Note 9, maybe I'll try a side by side comparison this week.
I'm hoping for a fix soon because not only does WIFI give me problems but battery doesn't seem to last as long as before.
I have problem with ASD9 on my at&t s10 plus. Just wondering about adding new ar emoji editor does work 4 u?
