Hallo, I have one question, some apps in last quarx Nightly 4.4 from 30.6 lossing GPS signal - ENDOMONDO and SYGIC. This problem had Nexus 5 too after actualization from 4.3 to 4.4
Problem is then after GPS lock Endomodno lost signal (that take 2s) and GPS icon is not more in status bar.
This is problem only with ENDOMONDO version up 10.0, before was all ok.
Im sure thats is only soft problem other apps are ok. With CM 10...and 7... ENDOMODO works.
Sry for my english.. : (
Having the same problems at least since KitKat with Endomondo (and as far as i can tell runtastic, too). It's pretty annoying to run like half an hour and never know the real distance. Seems like GPS is switched off when screen goes dark. I'ld take my Photon Q to track my runnings, but it won't fit into my sportswear pockets … any ideas?
I was on Illusion rom and tried PA 4.4.4 (4.45) for a change, but still the same. The GPS-fix also did not help. It's freaking me out.
Edit: Will try this tomorrow …
Endomondo works for me… I have CM11 and the latest Endomondo from the Play Store.
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
Anybody else experiencing this with China Rom?
It's so bad that anywhere I open the Google maps app and start Navigating it stays stuck at the same location.
I just got the phone a few days ago, and I still have about 12 days of waiting time for bootloader unlocking. I'm very frustrated with the CH Rom, my samsung wearable app does not start, keyboard sucks, lots of bloatware that cant be removed, etc.

On Havoc 2.9 no GPS problems.
same. someone please fix this
There is a magisk module GPS FIX or something like that, it should help with GPS locking if you are rooted.
Hey
I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader. Just recently updated to 9.0.8. The first few days everything was soo good, bluetooth and gps worked much better, but after a few days the GPS stopped working. I can't get a lock, gps stays on my location, it doesnt move with me. I've installed the magisk gps.conf fix, downloaded gps locker and that worked yesterday, but still the gps lock is far from optimal and fast..
Any fixes for this problem?
