Hi all,
after flashing A10 stable (coming from 9.0.17) two days ago, I just noticed, that my GPS is not working properly.
Besides that everything else seems to be working fine.
I flashed full update via OTA installer and then flashed a magisk boot image.
Location data is switched on.
Opening e.g. google maps now does not seem to trigger the gps symbol on the status bar.
Also its not getting any location update.
Same appears for other apps.
I cleared cache via stock recovery and also cleared cache of google maps, location services, google play services and fuse location separatly, after some research.
Also I restarted the phone.
That did not do the trick.
Is anybody else experiencing this issue or might give some support?
Thanks and BR,
Vincent
Experiencing the same. Been reading many on other Oneplus and Pixels phones experiencing the same after A10. What I don't understand why hasn't this issue been picked up more aggressively by the community/company yet..
What works for me intermittently is to disable and re-enable Maps and it will pick up the current location. Otherwise it'll continue to think I'm on the previous one, and something interesting even if I move, it'll continue to hold the previous location as the center point and map the changes around that.. Funny!
I think updating to A10 really requires a full reset.
Try installing Global Optimized GPS File Replacer module, really helped a lot getting the GPS to work much much better
Hi any solution yet
Clean install A10 to solve the issues
Same issue here. Just started noticing it today. Been on stable since day 1.
How will a clean install solve the issue?
And how do I clean install when I'm rooted with stock recovery?

And what about my root? I would have to use adb from pc again?
I'm not having any issues with GPS.

You have to flash the patched img on fastboot to obtain root...
So not such a big deal...
Im having this issue too, noticed today when tried to navigate via maps, the gps test app works properly but gps apps doesn't.
any solution? Tried the cache reset, location cache clearing without any success.
I think I managed to find a workaround which doesn't involve a factory reset:
Settings -> System -> Reset options -> Reset app preferences (this doesn't affect apps data)
Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all XXX apps -> (3 dots in the upper right corner) -> Show system -> Clear storage and cache of the following apps:
Google Maps
Google Play services
Google Services Framework
LocationServices
Phone Services
Fused Location
Google Location History
OPMmsLocation
I wiped Dalvik cache in TWRP.
I'm not sure all steps are necessary but resetting apps preferences is the key one I think. It's going to reset the permissions of all apps but it's a good alternative to reinstall everything from scratch. The issue of the GPS fix in Google Maps hasn't come back for me since.

hello, I use android 5.0 lollipop.
Google play doesn't auto update and doesn't show notifications for update waiting apps. When I clear "data" for Google Play Store it starts to show notifications, but when I open Google Play , it asks me about google campaigns and agreements, I accept it, and after this process problem starts again.
I am sure this is about the "data" that Google Play uses. Problem disappears when I clear data. Problem starts again after first usage. (first window)
I tried deleting cache and data for Google play services too. I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps.
Thank you.
Try updating the play store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
And clear cache/data for google services / framework
i tried, still no luck.
ive been having issues with updating apps on my s5.
i got an error code 963
it seems to be with apps ive moved to sd card.
i read something about new android OS after a certain version are not allowing apps to stored in sd card.
i unistalled playstore and reinstalled it and i aldo moved the apps to device storage and both those actions or one of them by itself allowed the apps to update
i dont know if it was just uninstalling the playstore or moving the app to device storage though. thought id share my experience
mine is the sm-g900r4

You already said "I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps"
What extra do you think you can achieve without re-flashing a ROM, that a factory reset couldn't fix?

sorry i am just a beginner user ,i have 2 questions
-if i do flashing rom will my phone out of warranty?
-can i see/change Google Play Store files on my phone? i have no root access
thanks.
No you won't lose warranty flashing STOCK ROMs with ODIN
You will lose warranty if you flash anything custom
Which Google store files are you talking about?
And if you had access to them, being a beginner, what would you be looking for, and what would you change, again, that a factory reset did not achieve ?
Unbelievable !
I flashed last stock rom but problem continues.
I check manually most days, and just update any that are sitting waiting
Not sure if there is like a set time period it waits before auto updating, but the notifications for available updates will likely only happen if you disable auto updates, otherwise it has no reason to tell you there are updates waiting, it will/should just update them and tell you once it's done
So try this:
1. Disable auto updates in Google Play settings
2. Wait for a few days until there are some updates available
See if you get notifications
If yes, try this:
1. Enable Auto updates in Google Play
2. Wait a full week without manually updating, see if they auto update
I updated via the OTA to the May update recently and now my GPS is totally messed up. It generally knows where I am when I start a trip, but then is super slow to update my location, and is a block or two off of my actual location. I tried doing a factory reset but this didn't solve the issue. Any ideas?
Have you tried using GPS Status and Toolbox?
Do this with a working Wi-Fi connection: Settings>>Manage A-GPS State>>Reset. Then within the same menu, hit download.

Only thing left to do now is to backup, wipe all partitions, and load a fresh image. If the problem remains, it is hardware related. I would make sure to fastboot FORMAT userdata, system and cache before flashing the latest full image.
I've noticed that the 7.1.2 is not fullty compatible with the settings that might be hanging around from 7.1.1 (or before).
To get my phone to function properly I had to do a clean install and wipe the phone completely.
before that I had SIM issues and Bluetooth issues.
Hi all,
I have a G900I running Nougat. Recently My phone started getting slow, so I reset the phone. Here is where the issues occur, I had restored some apps and it worked for sometime but took a very long time to restore my existing apps that were installed, so I figured lets reset again and start without restoring at all.
Now the biggest issue is to get apps download at all. I can only update the existing apps that were installed. I have tried many solutions from google but no go from disabling the google play store app, clearing cache and for Google Play Services. as well. I keep on getting the Google play error of 905 and 495. I am quite stumped on how to fixed this issue.
Is there any method to fix this issue? I hope I am not resorted to root and install a custom rom to fix this issue. I have attached a screenshot of the stock rom I am running.
reset your phone from zero
i know it will take some time to configure your apps but it will fix your problems
NOTEont restore anything from google
Steps
Install TWRP
go To wipe
Advanced Wipe
NOW CHECK EVERYTHING but the external storage(must be unchecked)
swipe to wipe loool
now go to reboot menu
reboot to download
flash stock rom lol
login to your google account and uncheck restore my apps
disable sync lol
My settings force close and have went through cleared cash, closed apps recent, even went to safe mode and still forces close. Any ideas besides the ones you can dig offline?
I think a simple factory reset and clearing cache partitions will do. Try clearing only cache partitions first see if it works alone if not then factor reset (from recovery menu)

Found out at one point recently i had applied substratum theme and did a theme. Caused conflicts so i uninstalled but apps it added sometime later caused issues and locked me out. So downloadd a ram booster which let me scan for running apps and seen android symbol by the apps and removed. Walla. Thanks for help. Hate starting phone fresh after swipe or factory reset. There is an answer if ya look. Just couldnt find till now.
So note to any users clean out unused apps and attached files. They can cause issues down road!

Today, I noticed that I had once a pattern lock and the phone just opened on swipe.
So, I went to settings and the security was set to swipe (I didn't change it). I clicked on it and the settings app crashed. Everything else in settings is working fine. Its just this thing causing trouble.
So the phone is crashing when trying to change screen lock
Some things you should know
1. I had rooted my phone with magisk manager about two weeks ago
2. I had substratum theme installed and overlayed on almost all apps including settings
3. After the settings crashing problem, I uninstalled magisk and had a full unroot and updated the security patch with a stock boot image
4. Everything else is still fine, but the settings crashing problem persists
I uninstalled all the apps that required root access before unrooting
Now the phone is unrooted back to normal no theme overlays, but the settings is still crashing when attempting to change screen lock and the fact being that it automatically changed to swipe
Any help would be appreciated
