Hello, I have problem with my LG G2 (D802) gps. I think I tried everything possible and impossible but still the same problem(20+ gps.config configurations, cpu governors, cyanogen versions, stock versions, doriman kernel ....). When i use some kind of "GPS test" applications then I get GPS fix and it work great(even 1 hour). But when I switch in this application to radar view, where are satellites visible on compass as colored points (each color represent signal strength), then after 1-2 seconds are getting signals weaker and weaker until it lost all satellite signals. I switch to main view with satellites bars and signals after few seconds raise back to normal quality. It is not problem of application, because I try the same on my old HTC EVO 3D and on radar view is signal still the same. Then I switch, for example, to google maps and i have gps fix, but again after few seconds fix is lost.
Next strange behaviour is, that if I set navigation to some place and I lock screen (power off the screen), then it seems, that gps has stable fix and navigation is correctly navigating from beginning to end of route. But after screen unlock gps lost fix after few seconds.
It looks like some gps thread problem, or cpu power saver problem.
Could somebody help? Have somebody the same problem?

Hi,
I just have tried Tomtom 7 on my 614C and notice that the backlight goes off when launching the software.
Any hack to solve this problem ?
Thanks
Looks like there is also such a problem on Igo.
i use Igo8 and dont notice this problem, do the settings in igo8 stay at max brightness?
I use TT6 , it is fine
Now, I have another problem.
I noticed that after sometimes (during navigation), my gps has problems locking on new satellites. It can see the satellites (they appear in grey) but never turn blue (in Tomtom). After a soft reset, I can pick up all satellites. Meaning that the ones in grey turn blue afterwards....
I use HTC Rhodium for geocaching. From the beginning bothered me relatively low sensitivity gps (especially in forest, high building). Today i try (in finding a cache) open keyboard. Sensitivity and response gps very improved!
One of the parts probably in some way shadow of the GPS antenna and reduces its sensitivity.
I'll have to try this the next time I am having trouble getting the satellite reception.

It has an attached cab that will patch the GPS settings and may also improve your GPS signal
Hi,
Tried to use Google Sky Map, and found it very jerky and also inaccurate. So downloaded some compass app, and noticed that it has no idea of real north and I can turn phone (while flat on table) to make compass say true south would be north.
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? I've tried calibrating compass by turning phone but it doesn't help. In Sky Map it seems to behave better when holding phone portrait, while horizontally it behaves like compass and doesn't really detect change when turning around.

I just tried my compass and it was like you said so I did a quick calibration (moving phone in figure eights) and it behaved correctly
the compass I used was smart compass by smart tools. Give it try and see if it helps? I also tried google sky maps and it was also jerky, but I didn't try it before so don't know if that's normal or not.
There is a thread on the Google Help Forums about this. It still isn't clear if that is permanently fixable.

I've got the G4 Play (1602) and recently I noticed while using Google Maps, the map will not rotate in my direction of travel, so while navigation it becomes really difficult to gauge if what direction I have to travel in. It's very annoying as it seemed to work fine before.

- Google Maps auto-rotation is controlled by taping on the compass icon; if not responding to taps try uninstalling/reinstalling app (with a reboot in-between)
- as you probably know the hardware GPS in all G4P variants is lacking (sucks); auto-rotation will fail if the GPS temporarily looses its fix...which happens often
- as your device ages the GPS issue will likely get worse if my experience with two XT1607s are representative
Yeah seems like the GPS is the issue. Tried tapping the compass icon yesterday but it didn't work. Today the orientation worked flawlessly for some reason so it's probably the GPS acting up. Such a shame.
Hi,
I got my new head unit the other day, this one;
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003019883587.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.180c4c4dRzap6R
It;s a;
MTK 8259 8-core 2.0GHz
6G+128G
Overall it seem not too bad so far, not too long, sounds ok. But it has 2 major problems to me.
1. Landscape - Isn't
Although the unit has the screen in landscape mode, the unit appears to be coded to behave like portrait. So although all look fine initially, after using it a little you begin to realise it's not. For example most apps that are orientation aware reneder themselves different. Maps, Gmail, YouTube and YouTube music all have views split left/right; map on right, info on left; song of left, play list on right and so on. But the head unit does not do this, it tries to put the content top and bottom, like using a phone in portrait. On some apps, it just makes it horrible, like maps where when you view info the map is push to a skinny little band across the top. On some apps like YouTube Music, it breaks it. becuase you loose sight of the track list!! on a phone it would be under the song, but there is no space to do this on the head unit. This applies to all apps. It seems they have just not defined the mode to be landscape.
Is this just my unit, or is the a fault on others?
Can you via an app fix this? force it to be right. There is no settings for rotate or orientable in the units limited settings. I did try some apps, but they asked me to turn auto-rotate on in settings, but this doesn't exists.
Fixing this would be a big improvement. would move it from 1/5 to a 4/5.
2. WiFi.
This is broken. My unit has GPS and 4G and thus has antenna for each. I think that although the unit has Wifi it's actaully got no antenna for it internally, so signal is all but non existent. I can connect to my phone hotspot bc the phone is 2 feet away. but if i park my car on the drive, it will not connect to my router in the garage (which has great wifi coverage). I actually need to drive car into the garage and part car 1m away to get it too work at all.
Anyone else have this?
3. Firmware.
Is there other firmware for the version I have?
Thanks.

1. Enable developer options or search in setttings( "RTL" or"LTR" ...) and check if has rtl or ltr layout by default
LTR is the standard for some eastern and asian regions
2. Try hotspot from it and see how far it broadcasts wifi(if its small then manufacturer or seller cheaped ou ton the wifi chip or coded it very crappy)
3 Firmware try research, if you cant find anything in English repeat the search translated to chinese (modern) , you'll have better chances of finding something
