Can anyone help?
Sitting at the train station yesterday I started to log on to one of the wifi portals, getting as far as the log on screen (i was board). I did not have an account so moved on to google maps (not sure why) and found that it was downloading data via the wifi connection even though I had not progressed past the log on screen. I checked I was not connected via my mobile provider and was not, also as it was my first time in london the information was not in the google maps cache. I zoomed and moved around with the map updateing nicely. Does anyone know how I got this data - I double checked on the connections settings and was definatly getting my signal from the provider described above.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I use yandex navigator regularly but have sometimes gps lock problems. I also tried it with other Navigation Software I noticed that disabling Google location access under accounts and restarting after that solves the problem. I can't use Google in Turkey for navigation. Sometimes after installing a new app with location access it occurs again but not every time.
Does anyone have an idea or solution?
Thanks. ..
Just wondering of anyone else has this problem...
My location in Google maps is off. It shows my location about 1 kilometer away. It does not matter whether I use network or gps. In sygic my gps Works fine, only in apps that idee google maps ie tasker my location is incorrect. Could this be solved by a factory reset our is this a problem with maps, what van be solved by an update for maps?
I've noticed that my S7e is not listed in my Android Device Manager account. In Settings->Google, Location History Service is enabled, along with Remotely Locate and Lock, Erase. I've tried toggling them all off and on, and I've tried clearing the system cache. My phone's location is properly tracked in the Google Maps timeline.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I was able to fix this problem (and also the gmail-autosync problem) using some combination of these methods:

Wife and I recently applied the Nougat update that was pushed out. However, now both our phones have GPS issues. We use apps that require a GPS connection. Up until now, those apps worked from our home and our workplace. However, since the update, the apps keep giving us GPS errors.
I notice that Google Maps also can's show me where I'm actually at. Sometimes it works, but only for a few minutes. I downloaded GPS Status and Toolbox and it can't get a lock from my desk.
Is there any fixes out there that address the GPS signal strength, post Android 7.0?
Thank you!
Having no GPS problems on my Sprint S7
Under the Location settings I have "Locating Method" set to "High accuracy" and both "Wi-Fi scanning" and "Bluetooth scanning" disabled under "Improve accuracy"
Have you tried factory reset?
That seems to fix some of the various issues that people are having through the Nougat update.
I'll try turning those off and see how it goes.
No, didn't want to do a factory reset, if I didn't have to... Such a pain in the arse.
Thank you!
Any luck with this? The factory reset didn't work for me on my Sprint S7, I still have GPS issues and now I've lost app data to Runtastic and ToMarket GPS settings are the same as DankNuts.
Since the nougat update, It happens every time I use Runtastic (every other day). When it happens, I notice that Maps is also showing the wrong location (anywhere from where I'm at to a mile away). I've tried the app GPS Test (clearing and updating AGPS) and numerous phone restarts. At first those seemed to work. Now I try clearing the cache of apps that use GPS and that has worked long enough for my 90 minute run.
One thing that I just realized now, is that when I start Waze or navigation I don't seem to have the problem. I may need to test with a combination of those and Runtastic.
satellite problem
I installed gps statua software and it says 0/0 satellites. Gps essentials software says location provider cell.
For me it seems that the gps module would not somehow "turn on"
Edit: if i change in samsumg setting 'location method' to 'device only' gps essentials says location provider "unknown"

did you solve it? I think tomorrow I'll go to samsung assistance..
better gps solution
Goto settings; location; then top-right scanning, switch off wifi scanning and also bluetooth
Because there is a conflict with wifi and gps.
Help with several devices.
