I installed Google Goggles from the Martket the other day.
Its loads but after going through the first couple of screens it disappears (I guess it minimizes as i dont get any force close message).
Is anyone else having the same issue or is it working for you?
Same issue here im afraid.

It also happened to me, it worked fine until I upgraded it
Same here too.
It was working on mine originally but since I updated something it now fails as you describe.
I was messing about using it with a USB camera which worked fine btw.
I posted about this on Modaco and some ignorant tw**t posted a sarcy reply about why would I want to use it anyway with a front facing camera
Probably doesn't work unless you have a fake location set (like Google Earth).
Tried with fake my location running still not working!
Anyone else notice this about the compass? If I open a compass app (tried many) the compass is either erratic or stuck, but if I calibrate it with GPS Status app, it is fine until next use. I am stock rom and rooted.
Just a weird annoying issue.
I don't remember having this issue on other phones.

There is already a thread about this in the General section.
OK, i see it now - but it is a month old, and it really doesn't answer my question. And since this is the Q&A, help/troubleshooting area - it seems an appropriate place to ask.
I still have to calibrate my compass every time i use it. Does anyone else have this issue?
Hi, I use my GPS frequently on my Note 4 but ever since I updated my phone to 5.1.1 it will not lock on to my location.
It will give directions, but the pointer does not move and it has a big light blue circle around, and when it does move, it goes all over the place.
When I did my update, my phone did a factory reset, so I know that wont fix the issue.
Here's a pic of what I always see even during naviataion: http://i.imgur.com/nBgUCaj.png
I'm almost giving up on this to the point of where I want to get a new phone, that's one feature I can't live without.
Any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks everyone.
I had terrible fix issues with my GPS. I switched from wanamlite rom to sweet rom, now my GPS works again!
Has anyone had problems with GPS fix at all? I was using my Z1 in the car today with TomTom Go and I was getting problems with it losing GPS positioning. The app would just stop updating location. At first I put it down to it being just another bug in the app - it seems pretty buggy. But after giving up on TomTom and using Google Maps that app also reported loss of GPS fix, even though it had a good clear view of the sky. So I suspected a hardware fault. But at a traffic light I managed to pull up the app GPS Test and it showed good reception with 25 satellites in view and 13 in use - yet no fix. Which suggests to me there is some error in the GPS software handling. This is the one problem I have had with the phone so far, anyone else?
No issues with my GPS, Sigyc works like a charm!!!

No problem with the GPS with mine.
Try the app "GPS Fix" it always fixed GPS issues with my N4
Had this problem already 2 times, rebooted the device, and error is gone, it's not very stable in terms of software, my Honor 6 was much more stable in terms of software, only the ui sucked bigtime
I seem to have serious GPS fix problems. None of my navigation apps works correctly probably because GPS system loses fix for 10 or more seconds at a time for unknown reasons.
I can have pretty good satellite situation with great 3D Fix:

And a moment later with satellite situation almost the same there's no fix for several seconds:

I need to test it more, but I'm quite unhappy at this moment. Any ideas how to fix that?
No problems.
GPS used quite often and works OK.
Works perfectly fine with Google maps
Cleard GPS cache (with some GPS Fix app), rebooted and GPS works as intended. Problem solved.
No problems with gps

I have got similar problem. Waze or any GPS nav is loosing GPS signal. I have monitored via GPS app satellites nad signal is generally very weak. Lasting long time to connect and during navigation is GPS for application dropping. While signal in Waze is lost I was checking with GPS app and 3Dfix was lost.
I'm really pissed and sending phone back for repair...
Do you have same experience somebody else...?
- PS: I have rooted phone with king root but can't tell if GPS worked well before or not, because rooted in second minute after I have unboxed
I noticed a very bad GPS reception in larger cities and especially in my car using Google Maps. Sometimes it was losing the fix altogether and often it was way off on the position.
Edit: Tried the Fast Fix APP from Fdroid and a GPS Fix APP that suppostly clears the GPS cache. Will See how this works out.
Works perfectly fine with Google maps, here,
I have a problem with GPS to. Satellites-Signal is very good. Fix is ok. When using a Nav-app like Sygic, TomTom or Navigon after 2 or 3 minutes the signal is gone. Here or Google maps working fine. Any idea?
I've got the same problem. maybe every 15-20 minutes google maps tells me "GPS Signal lost"... And then it seems to stay lost until I close the app and open it again. Very annoying, especially when you're in a city and got a lot of turns coming up -.-
Same problem for me, I dowload lots of GPS apps to try to fix it, but nothing works. Most of the time it works outside cities.
I love my Zuk Z1, but it's very annoying because I use Waze for my work everyday. If nothing is done I'll probably change it.
For information I'm in France. Can it be a location problem ?
I tried to fix the problem with many "GPS fix" app but found that simple reboot solves the issue temporarily. I don't know for how long exactly because I use GPS every couple of days. There's definitely an issue here with the GPS.
As far as I know this hasn't solution, so I reclaimed my Z1 under warranty. I must say I'm quite disappointed.
I do have the same problem with ZUI new version. I have seen the bbs.zuk forms site many peoples has reported this issue. I was using CM12 and it was working fine. But definitely it's much better than CM 12
Works perfectly fine with Google maps here too.
Only small problems while on the train, but I think that's normal.
Hi there my GPS was very quick under Kitkat with immediate fix and perfect compass. Under Stock Lollipop it still worked well enough. Since I use [5.0.2][D802] Google Edition 1.5 my compass doesn't work anymore and GPS doesn't fix at all or takes 10 minutes shows wrong location and looses signal again
I don't know whether the problem is the ROM or that my phone fell down hundreds of times.
Anyway I already tried the apps fasterGPS, gpsStatus and TopNTP without success and did the cardboard mod hardware wise.
Please help I want to play Pokemon Go
