GPS not working
-
@flohack It's quick to reconnect even after reboots now, while earlier I could never make it work at all. So there is truly something that has snapped into place the device.
Not much help for those experiencing problems though - sorry I don't have anything more valuable to add based on my experience!

@flohack said in GPS not working:
Not that when you close an app with location, GPS will stop so it looses track of all satellites. Thats a privacy feature ^^
About that... it can also be an anti-feature, for instance for the purpose of tracking your sport activities. This point has already been raised before, for example here: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1067

@lgtrombetta i am having the same issue reboot does not help wace you found a soultion?? No matter how long i wait it cant find gps
-
@cor3 GPS works for me. There is some sort of hang up that occasionally occurs. Try restarting the UI with UT Tweak tool
-
@rocket2nfinity ill give that a try right now considering ive rebooted and tried everything else ill let you know how it goes
-
@rocket2nfinity well using t ut tweak tool just caused the screen to sit and load i had to hard reboot my phone, just tried with pur maps and still no sucess....ive tried two other map apps also no luck.....

@rocket2nfinity only issues ive had so far since my inital install yesterday is ,1 gps can not and will not find location, bluetooth wont even turn on when i flip the BT switch it goes byby and sometime if i open to many windows the screen locks up but the screen is not a big deal ive figured out to keep a max of about 4 open windows and there seems then to be no issue but the other two problems ugggg really sucks
-
@cor3 You will also find video recording is now broken. My N6P is becoming unusable after being rock steady for a long time. Was going to reflash, but your experience proves that won't help.
The porter is aware of the problem and is working on a solution.
-
@flohack im gonna give that a shot and see if it works ill post later if it works or not thanks for the fyi
-
@rocket2nfinity hope to see some fixes flohackk just messaged meband said to leave it on and wait so im gonna put a movie on and leave my phone plugged up and screen on and see if the gps locks correctly
-
@cor3 Don't know if you have tried it but the sensor status app from the OpenStore will tell you if GPS is working. Getting detected can take a lot longer, 45 mins was my longest on a UT device.

@cor3
Also keep the phone outdoor as it won't catch any satellite signal indoor.
Seems obvious for some but worth mentioning. -
@applee your correct it wokks outside got it working yesterday sorry for the late report and ty for the fyi

@lgtrombetta , mine is Meizu MX4. I went to the housetop of a building, open the uNav. Then the GPS works.
-
Gps works fine so long as im outsude ive had zero issues since i relized this, thank you to all that assisted me

@lgtrombetta First fix can be slow but often it speeds up, just use it a few more times, mine mostly is instant fix on my N7.
