Hello everyone,
I use a android multimedia system, he runs good except some details.. I use WAZE or Google maps for GPS, all is working good, but when i shutdown the car, GPS loose the destination programmed.. So when i stop the car, just after, before going, need to set the new destination..
Does a setting exist to solve the problem ? It's very important in holidays..
(sorry for my English, I'm french..)
See you

Hey guys, I have always had issues with tomtom getting a sat fix for the longest while. A couple weeks ago when I was messing with tomtom i was like screw this and went to google maps and enabled the use gps feature and got a fix. I then went back to tomtom and my sats came up in 3 seconds or so. Now my question is ... is it a coincidence that my tomtom getting gps fix quickly whenever i use google maps to get a sat. Or is it some kind of internal gps storage thingy ... not sure what I am trying to say.
But still guys with the xperia who been having issues try getting a fix with tomtom and see how long it takes. Close tomtom and use google maps to get a gps location and after u do get yourself on gps, close google maps and go back to tomtom.
Let me know what you get, everytime I tried this it worked for me ... not sure why or what is going on. But tomtom7 takes forever to load up with the x1 compared to google maps.
I just posted on another thread that I think there is an issue with gps on x1. Mine was working super fast on both satnav and google maps and then just stopped working at all. I now have the same problem as another poster that my x1 will not get a lock at all so sending it back for replacement on advice from sonyericsson support.
load up google maps and get a fix then close google maps then load tomtom and see if u get anything then. That works for me.
No. Afraid even google maps doesnt get a lock at all. Tried pairing the phone with a bluetooth gps receiver and all software works perfectly and fast so definately a hardware problem on the phone sadly.
it might be nothing but...
i had a problem with tomtom:
gps nav was working (selected internal gps antenna) but screen was grey, i could see my movement but no calculations.
gps was working in google maps.
--
Problem was: i disabled my phone in comms manager
off: aircraft mode
off: phone
on: bluetooth
on: wifi
tomtom says i'm in aircraft mode, and doesnt show collors, calculations or routes (actually it does show routes but doesnt update it when i change it).
Hello. Last hour i have been looking for the answer to my question, with no results.
I googled and i searched in the forum, but everything is the same as before.
I just wanted to use the gps on my pda...a few days since i got it, and now i am beginning using the gps.
I have downloaded two applications, what i want is to check the speed and altitude, at least. I have richesse GPS, turbo GPS.
The option is ticked in the wmobile menu (let application turn on the gps).
The fact is that i launch the application, turn on the gps, and nothing works. No altitude, no compass, no coordinates of my position (X Y).
What is missing? i have also updated the quick gps application.
don't know the apps in question but gps generally don't work indoors so try outside
Can you download and install Google Maps, run it and tell it to use GPS, it should work no problems. That way we can tell if it is a hardware or software problem.
Hello,
I have one problem :
I break a little pin on my nexus4 what used for connect back cover to the phone, and without this I cant use internal GPS ....
I tryed to fix it , but everybody say its impossible..
I have an old Fortuna Clip-ON bluetooth GPS reciver, and try to use it wit my nexus 4 with 4.4 and 3 different blutooth gps app,
But all of them ask me to allow Mock locations ...
so if I allow this, i cant use Ingress but i'm an active lvl 8 player ...
I tryed to put he app apk in system/app folder, but he ask for mock location too...
Somebody have an idea how can I use my bluetooth Gps receiver on android 4.4 without mock location ? (NO I don't want to fake location in ingress... just use an external gps)
Hi All,
I recently had a Chinese Android Head Unit installed running Android 6.0. The system menu is pretty much identical to the Joying, even the Car Settings Menu Password is the same 3368.
GPS has a good fix (I think). In the Car Settings Menu the GPS often has 8 or more bars and the GLOSNASS has 6 or more bars.
However it seems like none of my apps can access the GPS? No weather app can grab a location. I installed Google Maps and that cant even see Im in Malaysia, it just loads the default North/South American map. Strangely Waze seems to work ok but maybe its just using WiFi and knows from my account Im in Malaysia?
On my Samsung Phone, whenever i run an app that uses GPS a little "location" icon appears in the notification bar. But on my head unit there is never any (yet it displays wifi icon, time etc etc).
Im running Car Launcher Pro which includes a Street Address Widget and that is also not getting anything from GPS.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.
Check if GPS permissions are OK with those apps.
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I have a Android joying headunit and having an issue in regards to satnav. Now I use Google maps and I can set a destination and the app knows my current location but once I'm driving the satnav app doesn't update my location (it still registers me at the initial starting location).
At first I thought could it be a GPS issue, but GPS always seems to know my current location once I start any app that needs my location, the problem only happens once I'm on the move it doesn't update it on the app. So baffled whether its a GPS issue or app issue?
Has anyone had a similar issue or know if a possible resolve?
1-) how many satellites do you see ?
2-) how much takes to the gps to make the "fix position" and with how many satellites ?
If you don't know the answers to the questions, let's do in another mode.
Head Unit connected to the internet (wifi)-> Google Play Store -> apk GPS TEST (download and install)-put in on the gps antenna of the device;
Now open GPS TEST->Settings->AGPS-> "clear and update".
RESTART the hu( not closed and open, RESTART), open GPS TEST and wait; first you'll see 2-3 satellites, but slowly the increase till 20-25 and do the "fix position" with 10-12 satellites.
This operation take about 10-15 minutes, after your radio "catch" the satellitesin 10 seconds.
@nick1964 Thats not the issue, the issue he's describing is totally different. The unit will catch GPS signals and navigation works totally fine with other third party apps (iGo, Sygic, Navigon, etc), but Google Maps has an issue where it will catch your location initially, but once you start navigating it will not update the location in the app. If you switch over to another GPS app or even check the GPS in the SYU settings app, it has full lock. So your troubleshooting steps dont really apply in this case. It's happened to me too, it just randomly started working after some days. I don't mainly use Google Maps so I can't really tell what fixed it.

@gamer765 I have only tested with Google maps, I'll give iGo a try shortly.
If he didn't know what level of satellites signal have, how many satellites see, how do you talk about "that is not an issue"?
Do you know what is GSM triangulation?
Do you understand what is navigation offline and online?
Do you know what is AGPS data and for what is used ?
Hi all I have an update, it seems to be the GPS thats the issue (NOT the apps that use GPS).
Initially I thought it was the GPS only worked at the initial moment when using a app that uses GPS to get my location, but at all the times this happened I was connected using my mobile phones data connection for Internet. I checked the GPS info and its says "no signal" (but the GPS is 100% connected to the headunit, please see attached photo).
Any ideas anyone?
I have this same problem in my new Joying Android 10 HU as well.
