Hello, I already found some questions about this issue but they were from a year ago so I thought maybe the fix was found and no one talked about it
Recently I came across a problem using Waze and Google Maps, it simply doesn't work as it says that there is "No GPS signal". I tried some apps to test the GPS signal (GPS fix, GPS Status, GPS Test) and I think nothing worked. I also dialed *#*#6484#*#* and tried testing the GPS but it says "GPS failed". When I did this to another friend's phone (also a Xiaomi Mi A1) it failed also but he said that yesterday he used Waze and it did work, so I don't know if his GPS just stopped working today (mine has been broken for maybe a week or 2) or if it's just the place we are in or the GPS is not working for him momentaneously.
When I open up Waze or GMaps they locate me and also all the GPS apps that I tried located me, but then it doesn't go much further than that. I also have a dual SIM, and I am using 4G don't know if that helps.
What more can I do? Can this be a hardware issue? My Xiaomi is not rooted, and I would like to keep it this way but if you think it's the only solution please let me know.
Any updates?
Same here, two devices, both Mi A1's, both stopped working, I was aware of it for 2 days, my friend wasn't even aware. Both fail the GPS test from the service menu, both fail GPS Status app.
I suspect it happened because of the latest software update. We are waiting for the next update.
Did your phone return to normal?

I'm facing the same issue, april update did not fixed this.
I'm thinking about an FR and reflashing the official rom.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiledirection.GPSRepairFix&hl=en_US
Just install this app, open it and fix the gps. You have to be root.
Same here. I think it's a hardware problem. Look behind your Mi A1, in the upper and lower part of the back, there are a couple of antennas. Do they look like stained? I have to change the battery cover and see if it solves the problem.
Mine had this gps issue since android 9 released back in January. After the april update the gps started working again for like two weeks. Now is back again to same no signal issue. Hard to tell if it is a hardware or software issue.

hi, may b u can try this, u have to be rooted on stock or custom rom.
Use any file explorer with root access, locate the file gps.conf (on pie it's at system/vendor/etc)
Download the gps file for your region/country https://github.com/blinksmith/gpsconf
Backup the original file and replace it with the one that u downloaded
Hello everyone, the problem still happens from time to time but I think it became less common so it must be a software issue. I don't have my phone rooted so I didn't try all solutions but for now I have an app that tells me to how many GPS antennas are connected to my phone when opening any app that uses GPS so that I can check out when the GPS is working or not. Thanks everyone for the responses and I'm sorry I didn't tell anything sooner.
same gps problem here, started after update a month ago
it cannot be coincidence that GPS fails for so many users at very similar period of time
may be it is intention, to force us to buy new HW
Downgrade was the only solution to me, running 8.1 without gps problem.

Weird because I have been on that version for a long time (holding off on P upgrade), but my GPS also suddenly stopped working several months ago.
I can see with GPS Test that it has "view" on ten's of satellites, but it rarely (almost never) gets an actual fix.
my GPS was having problem unable to get position locked. It seems to be fixed now but I am not sure what I have done to get it fixed.
The last major thing I did was removing the back case and changed the battery.
During the battery change, I cleaned the aluminum case with alcohol swabs both inside and outside.
Ever since the battery change (2 weeks has passed), GPS position locking has been working well.
I also have the problem with GPS, sometimes it takes 20 Mon to find satellite, then off and on again , then sometimes try to wake up screen and have a couple sec lag, also mobile internet keeps crashing, so need to restart over and over again, the new problem with Bluetooth too, needs restart. Wish I never updated this phone, it worked flawlessly when I bought it

My MiA1 is since September 2017.
I'm using Android 8.1.0 Un-Updated since November 2018, stable, no nightmares.
The H/W test for GPS however says "Failed" but I can see >10 readings/39 quite good and Lat/Long of my location on top of screen which is quite accurate. App GPS Status says same 10+/39 satellites and location error < 10m (actually 6-8m).
You must be using Android 9.x.y. That could be one reason.
Remove MiA1 from any Casing/Cover you might've put on. Need the phone to be Bare.
Hold the Phone by the bottom half. The GPS Receiver is at the Top and back and must be exposed.
Need open space, Trees, Buildings attenuate the signals.
But this is True: MiA1 GPS IS showing Ageing Effect. Satellite Signal strengths are shown as weaker (may be that's why the test says "Failed", it's looking for Stronger Signals)
I had troubles with gps, mi a1, android Q evolution X rom, gps status was "No fix" despite relatively strong satellite signals (GPS test app used for testing). The position got locked in more than 10 minutes in places where other devices coped with it in less than 10 seconds. Same problem on cr.droid android Q. The problem appered in april 2020 (both evoX and cr.droid were fully updated). GPS.conf tuning had no effect. It turned out to be a software issue, fallimg back to 4.1.420 rom version (february 2020 security patch) solved the problem completely.

Hi, same here, with any rom in android 10 with latest firmware (may) GPS takes 15-20 minutes, maybe more, or it doesn't fix at all.
Tried many GPS.CONF in vain.
Go back to lineageOs 16 march version with firmware of february and it works again in few seconds
It's really annoying ...
What now? Are there chances for lasting improvement?
Hi everybody,
I wonder, if there are any chances for lasting improvement.
The tissot MI A1 was choosen, because it is a quite new, modern and cheap lineageos device with good performance.
What would be your advice to do ?
Try to root/su and add another gps.conf
Quit the device and move on?
Remove backside and clean with alcohol?
If you recommend quittung, what would be your recommendation for a not to expensive and not to old lineageos phone?
Kind regards
Tokoloshe
GPS has stopped worked a long time ago on my A1.
After changing the screen a 4th time (clumsy me!), GPS started to work again!
Pretty sure this was due to the fact that the replacement screen I used this time, unlike the three before before, came with new springs integrated in the display frame. I no longer had to use the old (original) ones.

Has anyone got the GPS to work on a verizon vogue? I am running OMJs oem verizon rom with gps and rev a enabled. (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=25335) i have turned location on and still can not got a pretty blue dot in google maps. i have searched all over multiple forums and found nothing. for many people with sprint they run ppst.exe and all is well but i have read this can brick the phone for verizon users. so does anyone know how to get it to work?
You could try GPSToday and activate the GPS with that. That's what I use, works great!
GPS on Verizon Vogue
I use the gps with the same rom you are using and it works great. I generall use Livesearch for my gps app, and before I launch it I will always open GPSViewer and let it sit on my dash of my car for 5 minutes tops before I get on the road. Once GPSViewer locks onto a few sats, I am good to go.
Exact ROM I'm using and it works great!! I was suprised how well LiveSearch was with directions, it would automatically re-route if you went off course, it was sweet!!!
Anyhow, it took me about 3 days to finally get a lock on to the sats. Main reason was I tried from indoors, but I was near the window on a clear sky. Then sure enough, I walked outside, stood in my office parking lot and picked up 6 sats!!
If you haven't already try outside, and be patient!! I believe once you get the initial feed from the sats, you'll be good from then on out. There was a reg change that may help.
HKLM>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS>GPS Mode
Try changing from 2 to either 1 or 4, some had better luck that way.
actually i figured it out a few days ago and will post what i found for others you need to change the messaging settings....

+1 on this fix! It used to take at least 5 minutes outside on a clear day to get a signal, at first, then about a min after that. With this fix, I got a lock in about 7 seconds inside my office! Not to mention, that sitting in my house, downtown, picks up in about 15 seconds! It worked so well, my GPS picked up that I moved from my dining room to my kitchen, all of 10 feet!
help me
ok i've spent months trying to understand how to get gps on my completly stock verizon vogue but it is way over my head. i'm to afraid to try knowing i really don't understand. somebody give me a starting point or better yet if anyone is in the salem, oregon usa vicinity i would be happy to pay for a little one on one tutorial.

Until Verizon releases a GPS enable ROM update you cannot enable GPS on your stock Verizon Touch. But you can enable GPS by upgrading with a Sprint, Altell, or Bell ROM. Here is a tutorial that's a little dated but it's a good place to start.
Basically you have to upgrade the radio with a Sprint, Altell, or Bell ROM to get GPS. Then you have to flash a ROM that will work on your Verizon Touch. There are a bunch of them available. Of course, once you start there is no going back because there is no stock Verizon ROM available.
TY for your response and i have read the tutorial but again struck fear in my peanut sized brain. I called Verizon support and did get one of the rep's to admit that they are working on a new "GPS enabled Official ROM" and are expecting it to be released before the end of the year. Think I will wait till its out.

When a company like VZW gives you a release date, don't believe it! They were due to release the Blackberry Storm, the first touch screen blackberry, and for reasons I forget, decided to hold it for an extra three months!
I figured this much before I first flashed, there are tons of users changing their ROM, I've changed mine probably 15 times in the past two months. Not to mention, once you use the AGPS hack, you'll pickup a sat lock in seconds, even while inside. I couldn't wait any longer, VZW is far too slow and behind other carriers.
gps
I doubt vzw will give us our gps on our stock rom. they want to sell their gps subscription. they will only provide it on a future phone when everyone has it as a stock function. ie the massess
gps is not that important for me so i am sticking with stock rom for now. their are rom(s) with instructions for releasing your gps but you will have to unlock your phone. it sounds easy but from what i read you have to take care to follow instructions. read here and on ppcgeeks search for vx6900 gps and you will get what you need.

Me too. And I fix computers for a living! The available tutorials had me terrified that I was going to have to buy a new Touch at full price OR get arrested by the Verizon secret police.
The prudent thing to do is to wait for Verizon to release any ROM update even without GPS. Then you have a safe fallback if you wreck your phone with custom upgrades.
Personally though I couldn't wait, and I'm glad I didn't wait because now I'm really enjoying the full use of my Touch as it was designed... fast Internet, GPS maps, and better call quality.
Despite the terror-inspiring tutorials the only really dicey part of the process is upgrading the radio to another carrier (Sprint, Alltel, or Bell). Unlocking the phone (which is only done once) and flashing custom ROMS (which you'll probably do lots of times) is child's play. Focus on the process of upgrading the radio until you're comfortable with it and you'll be fine.
Ok so where do i start, unlock, flash, or upgrade radio...still not sure about this, i can't afford to be without a phone with my work. would still prefer someone in my area to show me in person and still willing to pay...

Try my rom. I have VZW and GPS works. I just released v3 and GPS works really fast without the AGPS fix . Im not sure if its the new build or what. Here's a link to my thread. CRiSTAL ROM v3
No GPS
I'm not sure what I have done wrong ... I have the 3.42 radio and installed the OMJ Rom (even tried the one from Crystal) but still no GPS. I had previously flashed the unofficial VZW ROM and with the GPS adapter found on another post the GPS worked beautifully.
I've tried standing outside to see if that is the problem but am still lost.
Any ideas?
Also ... I tried the aGPS VZW Fix but still nothing

I installed the OMJ rom, flashed the radio to 3.42 and even ran the VZW aGPS fix. I ran GPS viewer for nearly 20 minutes (indoors and out) with no lock. what could I have possibly done wrong?
I'm on my third G1. The first one died to some strange graphics issue where the screen would go completely pixilated and wacky on me. I think the graphics processor was overheating. On the second one the touch screen died about the same time the speaker in started buzzing during calls.
Luckly because TMobile extends your warranty 90 days every time you get a new phone, I've only had to pay for shipping. I got the latest one, and immediately installed Cyanogen 4.2.5 on it. No problems. Then I followed Michael Mayhew's instructions for the maps update to get Navigation.
I can't get the GPS to work at all. I've since tried going back to RC29, or the base Cyanogen 4.2.5 without the maps hack. I've tried other GPS applications such as the Chartcross GPSTest. I can't get a read at all on any of them. I don't know if it was working before the updates, because I never tried to use maps before I installed the mod.
So I'm wondering somehow a radio update was applied that broke this phone, or if there is anything I can do to change the gps drivers around. Anyone with similar GPS failure issues?
I don't really want to return this one as I've only had it one day!
Yes, similar issues. No solution thus far. I also did not test GPS before flashing. OOPS?!? And now it no longer works, but I can't tell if that was the case to begin with.
I followed the same procedure (CM 4.2.5, Navigation mod), and had the same result--broken GPS. "My Location" not working, "Searching for GPS" forever, etc.
So two possibilities I can see:
1) hardware problem w/GPS
2) one or a combination of CM 4.2.5 + Nav = broken GPS
I have seen a few people on these boards say their GPS doesn't work all of a sudden. In fact, there are stock Droid owners with issues.
Can anybody chime in?
Hmmm
So for about 10 minutes on Friday it started working again. Totally random, I have no idea why. I was at a party and decided to see if it was working. All of a sudden I had signal (using GPSTest) and google maps found my location.
I've since tried it several times, rebooting, and doing a bunch of other stuff. I can't get it working again. Total fluke! So frustrating!
Well now the new version of google maps is in the market. I've successfully installed that one but still no GPS.
Im having the same issue on my G1 right now. Sorry for the Zombie thread, but did this ever get resolved?
I've had the gps fail on my phone and others I know have also. The g1 seems to have issues with the gps antenna strip breaking internally so one minute you'll have reception, the next.. nothing. Only solution is to find a new antenna strip and replace it (good luck!)
Aside from possible hardware failures, the GPS units on these phones tend to be very weak. Sometimes it *IS* impossible to get a strong enough signal to lock on, even when out in the open if there is something nearby that can reflect the GPS signals.
However note that these are AGPS devices, which means that with a cell connection and a data connection, and given that google knows the coordinates of the cell tower you are connected to, it is able to load assistance data (almanac + accurate time synchronization via NTP), and this will *GREATLY* improve your chances of getting a good lock and greatly reduce the time it takes.

I doubt that it was the GPU overheating. Your phone would burn your hand if it got that hot.
The in-call buzzing could be corrected by shifting the screen a little bit while it is happening. It is related to GSM interference with the speaker. The speaker is literally playing the radio waves emitted by the phone. The touchscreen issue was probably a broken cable... also related to moving the screen.

What radio version are you running?
I've also had no luck getting a GPS signal ever since I installed hacked navigation... I wonder if that's the problem? Has anyone tried removing the hacked navigation, to see if that solves the problem?
BTW, the problem started on CM 4.1 with EBI0 radio (2.22.19.26I), and still persists with CM 5.0.7... Has anyone tried upgrading their radio to 2.22.23.02? How about the folks that have gone back to the Updated Rogers EBI1 Radio (3.22.26.17)?
I have been having the "searching for gps" problem as long as I can remember (although I just got this phone a month or two ago)....I remember trying to install the hacked navigation or something so maybe that messed it up?...this phone was never opened, and I would hate to have to open it up to see if it is a hardware issue because I may not put it back as it was. IDK what to do, I even started a thread about it and tried every solution I could find and nothing worked for me....
I wish someone could chime in here with some insight...but it is also nice to hear others with this issue and their advice/ideas also...
Has anyone tried un-rooting and returning the phone back to complete stock and wiping everything ? has that worked for anyone?

Yesterday, I got an update of the Navigon program; in the release-notes was a line, that this was an update for the Galaxy Nexus on ICS, but ONLY for v4.0.4...!
ICS on the Note, is v4.0.3...!
I can't test it yet, because my Note in stil on v2.3.6 (I update the official way, NOT via ODIN)...
Maybe you should inform Navigon about this problem!
I've updated last weekend to ICS and yesterday to the new Navigon version - everything works as expected.
I have the same problem.
After the update to ICS, my Sygic stop working. It could not detect the GPS signal anymore though the software is running.
I am on LPY stock. Sygic works fine. Testing the GPS can be done with GPS Test app.
Hi, i'm on the official ics german lpy and my navigon is working as it should. I installed the rom with mobile odin with wipe. All great here
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
its not working for mine too.
Yeh mine seems to be pooched as well... anyone found any fixes yet?
Cheers

I used to use navigon for my note, since updated to ics i had to remove it and installed sygic. Did try the new version but didn't work either. At this moment i'm still with sygic and i advice you all to do the same. I think the problem is not with the note (all problems seem to be related to this phone, don't know why ??) but with the navigon program itself. I tried several gps apps and they all worked fine... need to see if they are ics compatible though !!!

I am on Official UK ICS and i can get a GPS lock in my house with GPS Test, and it has steel reinforced walls, and i am on the ground floor.
John.
After getting ICS update on my Note, GPS has taken 10 minuits to fix first time. Now it is taking only 20 seconds to fix with any GPS related applications even inside building.
Mine wouldn't lock for a while either after an OTA update, left it on for a bit with navigation on then re booted. Ask good now.

I'm on ICS XEN and GPS is fine. Both Mappy and Route 66 lock, even indoors...
Hi,
First time on these forums ... I also have the issue with ICS 4.0.3 (official) on my Samsung Galaxy Note and my GPS not working. I already spent several hours digging the internet for no solution.
I tried several applications to get a "faster fix" with no change.
The symptom with Google Map or GPS Test is the GPS notification raised for about 1 second, then off for a few seconds, then on again ...
GPS Test is able to download AGPS fix with no error.
I tried to get the system logs and I am a bit stunned with this message :

I put more of the log as an attachment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Hello you can install a GPS satellite software to try
I have flashed following ICS LPY,LPF, LQ2,LP8 and LPA
i never have GPS issue on Google map/Sygic
i have tha sema problem 2
do u find any solution ?
Try reflash your stock ROM. I never had this issue - now on stock LQ3 and everything OK.
Possible Fix
Hi guys,
I've been experiencing the same problem you are describing for about 2 months now since I flashed the official 4.0.4 ICS o my GT-7000.
About an hour ago I solved the GPS problem and this was how:
1-I was on a Wifi network
2-All GPS and other sensors were ON
3- Went into Maps for about a minute without a GPS fix.
4-While on Maps and the GPS icon flashing on the notificatio bar I rebooted (did this by only holding the power button and hit reboot).
5-When it rebooted and the "mounting SD" notification came up I went into Maps.
6-It got GPS fix right away.
Hope it helps because I was desperate cause nothing worked for me! And this solved it in 2 minutes!.

Hi,
First time on these forums ... I also have the issue with ICS 4.0.3 (official) on my Samsung Galaxy Note and my GPS not working. I already spent several hours digging the internet for no solution.
I tried several applications to get a "faster fix" with no change.
The symptom with Google Map or GPS Test is the GPS notification raised for about 1 second, then off for a few seconds, then on again ...
GPS Test is able to download AGPS fix with no error.

I have the exact same problem as you, the gps icon flashes in the status bar and then dissappears...and is back...and dissappears in intervals of about a second. I've flashed stock ROM, wiped a-GPS data, used fasterfix. And have no idea what's wrong, and only know it 'sort of' happened around the time I tried CM10, but, really can't pinpoint the exact moment, just don't know.
My GPS is totally useless now
Any ideas?
Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother with that, but i have an issue with my Galaxy Note 3 LTE, Cyanogen 11 M8.
Fresh install, everything wiped.
It seems that the GPS is fully down... GPS Status is unable to see or lock anything, Navigation freeze etc....
Maps is able to find my position, but only with network enabled.... if i disabled it... it is lost
In GPS Status, app stay "looking for GPS localization", and when a start an app that need the gps, the Gps Status appears a few second, with an "X".
I neved had this kind of issue, and i didn't find any clues over Internet (but i've seen people with the same issue)
I'm almost sure it was working in M7... i didn't use the gps since i upgrade the phone.
So, has anyone an idea about my problem ?
Many thanks
I had the same issue with the same configuration...
For me, it had to do with the 3G phone tower which appears not to be updated to certain parameters...
This happened when I was in a tiny village of the South West of the UK...
I then try the GPS in other cities, 50 miles away, and everything went back to normal...
I live in London, and travel abroad monthly; and no issues there also...
I would suggest to try your GPS in an other area...

I also live in a small city in France, i hope your solution will also work for me !
I will try tomorrow, in a "bigger city"
Unfortunately... i took my car and drive to be closer of a big city... no success.
It seams that the GPS is down... 'cause i launch some apps that give the signal received by the phone... and it appears that received absolutly nothing. (0, nada, the void)
I've tried to revert to M7 : no GPS at all.
Tried some gps.conf found on the forum : nothing.
It start to scare me, i hope the GPS is not "broken" (could i have killed the GPS antenna ?)
Anyway, i'm still looking for any clues or a way to check the GPS log.
Thanks

GPS connect has NOTHING to do with the SIZE of the city the only factor SHOULD be view of clear SKY.
I was going to say that GPS only works when you're outdoors. Trying to get a signal wont work when in your home etc
For info :
My GPS problem seems to be related to Android 4.4.4.
There's many people complaining that the GPS became innacurate or simply unavailable with this version.
And, it seems that the Cyanogen team has issues making the GPS work for Cyanogen 11 M9 (it's on the wiki).
Currently, there's no fix available. (for some people, rewrinting all APN worked, even if it's not related to GPS, etc etc etc... there's many solution available, but not working for everyone.)
Same issue here, prognosis for it should be posted here, Thx.
Hi Everyone,
If there's people following this thread, i'm still looking for a solution...
Here's all the thing i've tried, without success :
- Reinstall / change Modem
- Back to stock rom (GPS still not working)
- Format /system and reinstall
- Re-Partition
- NV Rebuild
Each time, it's the same thing : i start GPS Status, and i get the icon with the cross, and nothing happen.

Sometimes with Odin, sometimes with Clockwork... don't remember exactly
Each time, i was never able to get a GPS signal.
If you ODIN'd back to stock and GPS is still down on stock ROM, then you probably have a hardware issue. There is a GPS fix thread on the forum with pics of the hardware breakdown.
Hi everyone,
I can't explain what happened... but my GPS is back. hallelujah !
I saw this morning that the Cyanogen 11 M10 for the hlte (Galaxy Note 3) was available.
I update the Cyanogen i had installed (M9)... and test GPS right after that... nothing.
And then, i tested it tonight, the satellite dish appeared with the cross... but i was able to "touch" it with my finger : And then the icon dissapeared, and the new icon with the sattelite dish and the wave appeared and i saw GPS Signal !
I got a lock after a few sec.
Sorry guys, i don't have any answer about what happened, and how tthe GPS got back to work.
But anyway, thanks for the help !

Dang!!! I Wanted to sound smart. Lol. Jk, glad its working.
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....

It's happening the same to me since February. Now I'm with March patch and i have the same problem.
Today I'm gonna try restarting the phone

I had reset twice and it looks like it's working normally
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
So, the reset solved it?
Gps
Anyone had any joy with this mine is same cuts out and poor to stay connected. If I do *#*#6484#*#* and run GPS test it fails. Tried my friend mi A1 and same, this is on stock ROM
I'm having this issue as well, any solutions?

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.
