Thanks for responding
I did not know about this fix, where can I get it and do I download thru SD card

make sure the time is set correctly and that you don't use auto network time. There a glitch in the auto time that messes with google service/maps/music/internet if the time gets set wrong.

also for me, sometimes when starting from a instant wake, the gps won't get a reliable fix until I restart the headunit from the notification curtain.
Set auto time off
I did set auto time off which did not help having problem with navigation apps losing location and speed. Waze and Google worked great before 6.0 update
Joying just released the latest May Rom and MCU file on the joying blog.
Don't bother with the MCU upgrade, unless your not at 2017-03-08 MCU then it would be required.
Both New Rom and MCU are both 2017-03-07 MCU ??? No change their.
Also I didn't get google maps either? After I installed it, had to manually install.

Same Problem
I'm having the same problem. My Waze and Google maps are useless since it has me jumping all over. Started after the first 6.0 update and continued after the 5/8 update. For some reason my MCU still shows to be from 12/16. Does that not automatically update? Do I need to manually do it?

I have updated the MCU and nothing has changed. Does anyone have a fix for this? My unit is useless for Navigation.

Are u sure is not cable problem or something in settings GPS?
becouse it work without touch here
I'm thinking it might be something with the unit at this point. It was a little off since I bought it. The antenna is from my previous generation rockchip 5.1 an I never had issues. It became unusable with the 6.0 update.
I know this is an old thread, but there have to be people out there who continue to have this problem- I am one of them. When I first got my Joying unit (when it had 5.1) the navigation performed flawlessly. Then I upgraded to 6.0 and it's very sluggish. It finds GPS, but it seems to only update one every 30 seconds or so, so that's useless. And now that Joying has a new site, all the old links in these threads are useless too. Anyone have any solution to this issue? I've been updating the unit as Joying has provided them...
I'm on the gtxspec custom rom now
Waze doesn't work well but Google Maps does fine. I'm going to add active cooling and see if that helps. I think Waze is a resource hog.

Odd, Waze works fine for me, I use it everyday, it's my most used app! It always runs whenever the car is on...
In what way does Waze not work???
gtxaspec,
I assume you are running active cooling? I've posted before in your ROM thread. I looses GPS signal constantly even thought car setting shows the GPS signal is strong. It will also sometimes loose network connection, between these two things it does't know where you are half the time. If I use google maps there is no problem. I think it's a resource issue that it's using to much and heating up everything. I'm going to add active cooling and hope that addresses it.
So far it seems active cooling is the answer. The whole unit worked better than ever and Waze didn't have a single glitch only a 20 minute drive though.
I am on intel sofia 5009 board, firmware Jan 2018. I have found the solution for GPS and quick boot up. The main culprit is bluetooth, second is heat. It seems the bluetooth never turns off, can't be turned off, can't be reseted. Appears to be a software issue making bluetooth running overtime. When my car is parked under the sun it takes a while for GPS to work.
My GPS has been working since I stop using bluetooth. Unit never turns off, quick boot works all the time. If you have connected to bluetooth before, you have to remove the radio fuse for a minute to properly turn off bluetooth on the board. Simply not connecting to bluetooth doesn't seem to work.
Hope this helps people struggling with the same issue for years, where Joying provided no support.
I hope a smart programmer can provide a software fix for bluetooth.

Hello people!,
i need support regarding GPS fix and lock issues of my Nexus 6p. it is on latest build MHC19Q. it takes more then 25 seconds outdoors to first lock to satellites. and when i start moving on car or walk, it could not keep the lock, it starts finding satellites again and again. it was fine on any of 6.0.0 build. i tried to dig out the problem and here are my findings;
i did the factory resent through recovery. (it is not rooted)
i only installed the GPS Status app & GPS TEST app. All google apps were allowed to update. Problem remained.
I reset the fone again. Again only installed GPS Status & GPS Test app. Didn't allow google apps to update to their latest versions. My GPS is working fine. passed all the tests in flying colors. So is it google apps which is bugging the GPS? what can be done to resolve this issue.
The cell is not rooted and on stock Rom.
Thanks A Lot for all the Help

wow... no answers,
well i have an update. i found out that gps only bugs me when i am on 3G network, in any perticular area. if i move out of that area, in any other towers range it starts working. it works fine on 2G though. if i toggle between 2G & 3G some times GPS starts working fine in that perticular area as well. I am still experimenting.

Sounds similar or the same as my issue. My GPS can't keep up while I'm driving, will just get stuck in one location for 5-10 minutes at a time, if I hold it out the window it suddenly locks again in just a couple seconds.

found one more thing, if my GPS is buggy or laggy, turning of the 3G Data will suddenly make GPS to work smoothly. Locks in less then 3 seconds while driving, Locks in Less then 2 seconds while out doors. But if i turn on the Data, GPS again stops working, lock will take almost 20-30 seconds and if i start moving, phone will lost the lock many times. But no problems at all if the 3G Data is Off. I use a app "GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode" i think this app bugs Google Map, maybe it Bugs GPS as well. i have uninstalled it and keep on searching for this behaviour
Gps.conf
You need to replace /system/etc/gps.conf by a valid configuration. Just search in Google by "Google gps.conf" (without quotes). You will need root.
Reason is that Google delivers Android with an invalid gps.conf file, for Nexus and other devices.
For best performance enter the nearest ntp servers, search Google for ntp server list.

No, gps.conf is just a text file. You can modify or replace without break root or affect system stability. It's just gps configuration.

Is it factory or after-market radio? I'm waiting on my S8 to arrive today...Android Auto is one thing I've been wondering about...whether it's going to screw up or not with the new phone. Mine is an after-market (Pioneer).
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well. I have the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX and I have come to rely on AA with my S7E, it didn't work at first a while back, but after an (phone) update it works fine. I can't see going without it at this point, very useful. I'll chime in when I get my S8+ (hopefully tomorrow) if I have any issues.

Same here...that's exactly what I have and I've gotten so used to it, it's a must have for my new phone to work with it! My S8 should be arriving any minute and top of my priority list is connecting it to my car. I'll keep you posted.
Works fine for me. Hyundai with AVN 4.0 (latest) stock head unit. Remember too that if you used Smart Switch to set up your phone you need to uninstall and reinstall all your AA dependent apps. AA doesn't see them for some reason when they're copied vs. installed from scratch.

Finally figured it out. Turns out the play services app need updating and wouldn't update unless connected to Wi-Fi. All works now!
Also having some issues it seems with android auto, s8, and connection to my car.

Did you try uninstalling Android Auto app? I uninstalled mine then went plug it up in my car and let it prompt me to download everything and allow permissions, etc. I had to put my emergency brake on and go through the whole nine yards, but it worked perfectly once all done.

Yes. This was the first step I did. Uninstalled AA, Spotify, and then installed AA. Once done with that I went into android auto and downloaded Spotify. Still not listed as an option. Also tried another USB cord just for good measure.
Finally got to use android auto this morning. I used a micro USB to USB C adapter I had bought earlier. Everything ran perfectly, I didn't need to install anything, spotify worked, everything so far exactly as before with no hiccups.

I hadn't realized it till over the weekend that my iHeart Radio wasn't appearing in my music choice either. I uninstalled and re-installed iHeart Radio app to see if that helped but it didn't. Then suddenly I get in my car this morning and it's working! IDK what the deal is.

Stock ROM from Seicane ~4 weeks ago. The unit pairs with the cell phone for ~2 seconds and then drops the connection. If I'm quick, I can actually place a call that goes through the handset and places a call that uses the handset speaker.
I tested on a Leeco Pro3 and an Alcatel phone. This is a show stopper but the unit is installed and it was shipped direct from China so replacing it is a big deal. HELP!
Has anyone else seen this?
i have this unit, I have not had any issues with Bluetooth. I did a 6 hour road trip, listening to Bluetooth the whole time. I was connected to a Moto Z2 Force.

Thanks CadillacMike. I checked and I have the same MCU as you do. So I did a factory reset (on Seicane's advice, sort of, it's little hard to guess what they were trying to say). It didn't fix anything but blew away IGO and maybe a few other things.
Then I tried a 3rd phone; my son's Moto G4 paired quickly and perfectly.
Next up:
Recover the missing pieces from the factory reset.
Update/change/whatever to get my phone to behave.
EDIT: Got it working. Burned my phone with a custom ROM: ResurrectionRemix. No idea why this worked but the hint came from some else with a similar andoid head and a LeeCo phone. Likely hopeless for the Alcatel phone but that is unimportant for me.
As small thank, maybe you would enjoy a Jeep icon for your IGO map? Put the attached files in \igo\content\car Then in settings -> map options change the 3d car to one of the selected
hey thanks, but i dont use iGo, i just use Google Maps.

Whats happened on the mazdas with all chinese units
People were having issues having their cell phones even connect. It was duento the issue of having the device paired with the old radio.. which i had with my so480.
I had to reinstall the old radio, unpair all devies from it then reinstall the new radio and pair up and has worked fine ever since. Now as to why i dont know as the aftermarket radio used its own bluetooth connections as the canbus only let the radio sync up with the steering wheel functions. Hopefully you get it fixed.
Hi Guys,
I am on stock with February security update.
I am experiencing issues to get a GPS Fix and easily loose it again. If the conditions are not perfect (being in a forest, in a car, etc.) I sometimes don't even get a fix. In the car the GPS fix is lost regularly.
I tried the obvious things like resetting agps data and downloading new agps data, restarting the device, etc.
I feel like it got worse with the February update.
Anyone experiencing a similar issue or is there even a fix for it?
Thanks in advance,
Robin
Same here , no gps fix and location services goes to battery saving mode automatically :/
I am on march update but facing this since feb update
The problem for me is when I am using GPS and Google Maps: everythings works but in the case I receive (or I make) a call GPS immediately stop to work loosing its signal. Maybe situation improve if I disable Bluetooth connection (in the car I pair Mi A1 with Bluetooth)
Very annoying problem

It's a shame, had hoped it would be fixed with the March update. When I turn off the screen, it becomes worse (probably battery saving). Thanks for the quick reply.
This is really strange as for me GPS is acting more than perfect. I have satellite fixes even on really really partial sky(sometimes none at all)view. From several years now I've always been using GPS Status & Toolbox app from the Gstore. It has always been on my phones acting in background when GPS is needed. I don't really know if it's because of it or just a lucky device but i have never had any other device with GPS reception like this. You can check if you are getting all satellite navigation systems that our SoC can understand (GLONASS, GPS, BeiDou)... the mention app above can show it... and you can also check it through the service menu (altho i don't know the code to bring it up)
I'm also using it with calls and attached bluetooth device(with calls in car) and never had a problem....

I've got the same issue. I've downloaded GPS Status & Toolbox and it shows "looking for GPS" without connecting. Anyone have solved the problem without rooting the phone?
I have a rugged case and it blocks part of the GPS signal. It may be a similar problem. Other thing that I have noticed, and may well be placebo, is that pinching the upper right corner of the phone sometimes solves GPS fix issues. It is as if the GPS antenna made a bad contact because the corner was a little bit opened.
Pinching corner was a serious issue for Galaxy S3. The problem was couple of screws loosen and thus bad gps signal.
Maybe here is the same problem.
It seems working after removing all the battery optimisations from all the location services and apps using location services. I'll keep you updated.
Edit: as soon as I switch the Bluetooth on the GPS loses the signal again
I have the same problem since August update, since then my GPS can't connect with the satellite. I even reinstall stock Android but nothing. T_T
I have this since I bought it... so this bug comes from android 7... Seems more like a crappy gps chip than a android bug.
GPS does not work for me since I updated to Pie, even though I downgraded again to Oreo stock. I have fixed my GPS issues using the app GPS faster signal Optimizer/Fix. You have to be root. In 10 seconds and an automatic reboot all my problems with the GPS have been solved.
The GPS failure on mine was a hardware problem, poor GPS antenna performance. I just took the back off and cleaned all the antenna contacts with isopropyl alcohol and it's good as new. Took about 10 min to fix.
Do these exist? I've tried emailing them a couple of times asking and they seem to just ignore the emails so I'm guessing that I'm SOL. I've read a couple of posts here with people trying to use other PX5 based ROMs and not having great success, so I'm not sure I want to go that route as I would be pretty unhappy if I bricked my unit. There doesn't seem to be any other retrofit options for my car by anyone else (it's a 2016 Smart 453) so I guess I'm just gonna have to wait and see what happens ...
Does anyone have any good pointers? I'm running Oreo but it seems like the particular build is pretty buggy, have lots of little issues with it, but not sure where the blame lies. Can't reprogram any of the steering wheel buttons (but they work to do what they are intended to do). My car doesn't have a next/previous track on the wheel though which is super annoying so was hoping to be able to program a long press of something, but no luck so far ...

Double check this before you do anything of course, but you can use updates from Hot Audio for Seicance. A coworker of mine has a Seicance and even though his is a PX5, it came with Android 6, so I verified for him that it's cross compatible (here) and then pointed him to the thread on how he can update his to 8.
Thanks for the reply!
I will dig into this and do some reading before I venture anywhere near this. I took a closer look last night and it seems my unit is running a a v2.80 MCU and Android 8.0.0 OPR5, so I will see if there's anything newer that might be useful to me or not.
Did some looking into it and yes, there seems to be a good handful of updates newer than what I'm running ... I'll probably give the latest a try this weekend and see how it works out. Thanks for the pointer in the right direction ... at least now I know how to parse out what the deal is with my head unit. Android is new to me (but I've been a linux geek forever so I don't feel too scared to do this sort of thing).
And the updates worked like a charm. It seems to be running much better with the latest updates. Time will tell once I'm back to the 3+ hours of commuting daily next week ... but thanks again. This worked a treat and was super painless.
