I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 FXP339 with the GApps mini package on an Xperia M2 dual C2005 and have noticed that I can't get a GPS fix in Google Maps but do get a fix within a few seconds in Navigator and GPS test. If I switch between Maps and GPS test I notice that GPS status is always "no fix" when returning to GPS test, but is set to "3D fix" in a few seconds. If I switch between GPS test and AndroiTS GPS Test there's seems to be a fix from the start.
The location setting is on and set to "High precision" (GPS, WiFi and mobile).
If I set location to "unit only" (GPS only) I get no positioning at all in Maps, but Navigation and the test apps still position.
I've seen this GPS fix thread but it seems to be for general GPS problems, while in my case it's only one app (Google Maps) that has this problem.
Has anyone else seen this and what can be done about it? I don't remember having this problem on the stock ROM.

When I turn on gps app (google map, navigation, gps test, navigon etc) , they all show 'searching for gps' something, and there is not a gps icon on the top left status bar.
I used to have the same issue on 4.1.1 , then I googled it and uncheck and recheck the 'let google use location' something in settings, the gps is back. But the other day, I upgraded to 4.1.2, and the issue came back and I can not solve it using the same way.
Could anyone help?
Thanks.
Hi,
the past Sunday I was biking, as I usually do those days, but the tracking app I use can't get the loc in any moment of the ride. I thought it possibly was a sporadic problem, but I've tried many times with many GPS apps: gps status, google maps, endomondo with no luck. Then I expected it was a rom problem, so I changed it to a lollypop rom (blisspop) from StØck ROM Sense 5. But the GPS apps still fails to get my actual position. No sats were found, the agps data is correctly downloaded.
Is my GPS dead? How can I know it?
Ever since the latest updates, our GPS Location service has no longer been functioning. Unlike before where the GPS + Data updated me of my location in real time, now the GPS shows "No Service" or "No GPS" (Waze), Ive tried numerous GPS Apps like GPS test, GPS Location fix, and so on to no avail of a fix, it also shows No Fix on GPS Test (Meaning that it doesn't detect any GPS Satellites) unlike before. When I was on the very first stock rom firmware, my GPS locked immediately at the same time updated me in real time of my location, whereas now, without GPS my location skips from one place to another as it base's my location through Data connection.
This isn't only for me, I have three other friends as well who own ZE550ML's (As we bought all at the same time), and this is our biggest concern right now as we travel with a car.
Any manual fix or latest update for this will/ shall be greatly appreciated.
P.S.
• I have tried flashing the latest firmware as well and still my GPS wasn't working. We all tried.
• I've also tried asking via ZenTalk to no avail...
I got strange GPS behaviour with my new OnePlus 3.
Symptoms:
1. Google Apps (like Maps or Fit) won't use GPS to determine the position. This is checked by GPS Status & Toolbox. If I start GPS Status & Toolbox by itself it directly hits up GPS. Same with non Google apps like HERE or EXIF Location Tags in photoapps.
2. When I start navigation on Google Maps it starts using GPS. When I stop it, GPS usage stops too.
3. When I force Google Play Services to stop everything works flawless. Maps and Fit start using GPS as it should be. After restarting the phone, Google Play Services is back up and same issues occur as stated above.
Tried with newest CB, 3.2.4 and Resurrection Remix (BJRR). My Google Play Services is 9.8.77 but I already tried older versions without success. I googled this problem, found something similar in google product forums (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/maps/l-YG1DB8jyQ) without solution.
Somebody know this problem or has any suggestions?
I know I have had a similar issue with my phone (Stock updated OOS rooted w/TWRP and Xposed) rebooting all the time during navigation, random loss of GPS-based location and being forced to reboot to bring it back, etc. I've had no issue with the rest of Google Apps, though.
Anyone having gps problems? When Google maps does eventually lock on a position is seems to be miles away from where I am, it takes Google maps a good 5 minutes to actually figure out a route.
Currently on China rom 10.4.11
Works fine here. Did you give all permissions in app settings. Settings>Apps>permissions >accept all
I'm also having the same problem at the moment. But in my case gmaps doesn't even detect my position at all. Also on china rom 10.4.11.
I've enabled all permissions, change gmaps to no restrictions on battery setting, still doesn't work.
Funny thing is, waze detect my location just fine.
Any suggestions to fix this issue?
What do GPS Status apps show that you can download from Play Store (you only need free, ad-less apps). You could compare the GPS signal of this phone to other phones you have around.
I´m using a REDMI NOTE 8 PRO for 4 weeks. I´m having trouble navigation with the GPS. I tested it with Gmaps and Waze. In both, there are changes in the route without any change in the route traveled. I´ve already checked all the settings (Battery saver, precision location on Gmaps...) without sucess. Aparently the accuracy is low.
What worked for me was uninstalling maps updates, clearing maps cache. Than install gps status from Google play and from the drop down menu select manage agps and reset it . Hope it helps.
