hello,
i have a dutch galaxy s4 9505 which i have used with joy for over one year.
only consistent problem is with tomtom use.
after one hour of using it, it will lose the gps fix and it will not come back until i restart the gps service and/or tomtom.
when trying to continue with google maps, also no gps fix is found.
the surroundings are always different, open air so reception should be good.
im still running android 4.3, disabling the software update service for the 442 update (im happy with using the application permission manager and do not want to re-install my tomtom.)
what could cause my gps fix to be lost after one hour?
Hy Everybody!
I recently installed the OTA update on my girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530FZ) and it started to produce some annoying bugs. First of all, after some use, the phone goes mute: no ringtone, no fm radio, no sound while playing a video, etc. A reboot makes the problem go away, but it's not ideal this way. Also during some calls, the other party can't hear anything while everything can be heard on the Grand Prime (good LTE/4G signal for both phones); after a redial it's as if the Grand Prime can't connect to the network. Another phone placed next to the Grand Prime can be called, so i dont't think that the network signal is weak in the area...
Has anybody encountered the same? Are there any solutions for these problems? Could restoring the phone to the previous version be a solution?
Thanks for any help in advance!

I have an MX5 and I noticed that WiFi based location works only with Google Maps and a few others google maps-based applications. If I'm indoor and the GPS can't fix, most of apps are unable to find my position. I refer in particular to Ingress. I tried this app also on a LG G3s, samsung galaxy S3, samsung galaxy mini 2, samsung galaxy s4 mini, and everything is working fine. Permissions are set well... Any idea on how to solve?
Hi,
I have another issue after the OS upgrade to Mashmallow 6.0.1, it loses the GPS signal every now and then for no reason, so I wasn't able to navigate using google map or waze or other location based Apps. I have to turn the Location setting off and on again a few times, sometimes it took a while, before I get back the GPS.
There is no lack of GPS signals in the area as my other devices are functioning properly. I have been using the phone for more than a year without such issues, started with kitkat then Lollipop, but as soon as I upgrade to Mashmallow the 2 major issues surfaced!
Any advice on how to fix this?
Same for me on my A3 2016 (6.0.1) On A310FXXU2BPG6
GPS signal is lost shortly after starting Google maps or Waze
:crying:
Hi, i just made this account to post this problem here and I hope I find help. My s5 is not rooted and brand new (3 days?) with the version 6.0.1. My phone does see the satellites but it doesn't locks on them so I don't have GPS at all except with WiFi and the other things but that is kinda useless and not accurate. If I really have to I would root my phone cause it's annoying as hell and I'm a traveller so I need that and I don't always have internet. Hope you can help me
Kind regards
Same problem, similar situation, using SM-G900A, Galaxy S5 with AT&T. Satellites show with GPS Tools app, but Google Maps and Waze don't find GPS location. Tried many things, including factory reset. No joy...
