Hi there,
Since the official update to android 10 the GPS of my Oneplus 6T is not working anymore.
Whichever app I use (Google maps, Uber, citymapper...) the location won't update itself. It seems like the app won't ask the system for the location ?
I've tried clearing the cache of various location related system app, rebooting. I even tried an app mocking the location but even this won't update the position in Google maps...
I've seen a couple of thread of people with the same issue but all they recommend is factory resetting the phone which I don't really want to do.
Has anyone managed to solve this ?
I had this for a while. Nothing will fix it. Have to wipe completely then update to android 10, root, etc. will fix

Same here!
I think it's a good idea to have a dedicated thread for this as it doesn't seem to affect everyone but let's document this a bit more effectively. I've taken the liberty of grabbing a log here and by swiftly browsing through the file, I found this one particularly interesting:
Code:
01-07 12:00:57.917 3951 3951 I LocationEnabler: Location mode has been changed
This 'LocationEnabler' only occurs twice in the entire log, two milliseconds apart. Before this line 'WifiService' is throwing massive amounts of errors and just 407ms before the 'LocationEnabler' line above, this one drops:
Code:
01-07 12:00:57.510 1135 2912 I WifiService: acquireWifiLock uid=10042 lockMode=2
After that, only 6 of the following 35 'WifiService' instances are errors. I think that could indicate the GPS issue is related to the accompanying Wifi lock. I tried turning off Wifi scanning (and rebooting, naturally) but that didn't seem to change anything. Perhaps I should grab another log now.
My actions during this log:
Launch Google Maps
Notice it doesn't get a fix on my location (while in the past this used to happen instantly)
Tap hamburger menu top left, then Settings
Tap 'Google location settings'
Leave that sitting there for a few seconds
Return to Google Maps and GPS is now "fixed" (for a short while)
This is a workaround I've read in the stable discussion thread but is of course no solution.
Tagging @Funk Wizard as he's probably the only one I know that can do something with this log (or at least take it to the right people). I hope this helps!
Did someone try to factory reset using msmtool (version 10)? I m on android 10 and i have no problem

Flashing clean is very likely a valid solution to this problem but I'd like to get to the root of this issue so OP doesn't need to make the same mistake twice. Or at least have no excuse for it next time
Apart from that I have a very smooth system now with excellent battery performance (maybe because GPS is failing, lol) so if I could solve the only problem I have without any data loss, that would be awesome.
And this is XDA developers. We just need to know, right?
Just a reminder make sure and have location setting to have access all the time..
Just going out of that app temporarily to do something else real quiçk could possibly stop the connection. Could help possibly... I myself have no issues.. I will add more to this as we get further into the Android 10 madness. Lol...
@TENlll423 Android 10 madness, say that again! I have indeed set this setting to 'allow all the time' but even if it were set to 'allow only while using the app', it should at least get a fix on the location when Maps is running.
I've now made a second log with Wi-Fi scanning turned off, see full log here. Notable events:
11:22:00 - opened Google location settings (which activates GPS somehow)
11:22:10 - closed them (back to Maps)
11:23:26 - Signal lost (location dot turns from blue to grey)
Speaking of permissions, we might be on the right track when we see a line like this:
Code:
01-08 11:23:17.690 2851 3241 I LocationAccessPolicy: com.google.android.gms is aware of fine but the app-ops permission is specifically denied.
Even with wifi scanning turned off, the 'WifiService:' pattern remains exactly the same. So I assume this relates to 'Google Location Accuracy', rather than 'Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning'. Just before the signal is lost again, this appears:
Code:
01-08 11:23:21.254 1132 4140 E WifiService: Permission violation - getScanResults not allowed for uid=10042, packageName=com.google.android.gms, reason=java.lang.SecurityException: UID 10042 has no location permission
Whatever I try to toggle on or off (ELS, scanning, accuracy...), the result stays the same: after about 1.5 minutes the signal is lost again.
We could really use your help here, @Funk Wizard
I could see somebody building a module in the near future to fix this ridiculous issue... Or we can at least hope.... Wish I had the know how to do something like that.....
I have the exact same issues. Annoying..
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.

I had this issue and tried this fix. Now my apps are working again. ( I cleared the storage of all mentioned apps).
But after that i had the df dferh 01 playstore bug. After solving that ( some youtube tutorial) everything is OK.
Thanks,
Followed all the steps, seems to be working fine now.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but the device seems more responsive as well..

Since all your apps' settings have been reset, that is plausible. And if it's not the case, we can at least enjoy the placebo effect ^_^

For instance, right now in Settings > Applications > Running Services > my phone shows all the apps with nothing listed where it normally shows the individual memory usage, though it still shows the time the app has been running.
Then on the bottom it shows:
Avail: 84MB in 0.00B in 38 / Other: 0.00B in 4
Though there is no other indication and the phone still runs perfectly, something is causing Running Services to have issues showing the running apps memory usage, it seems.
If I reboot, it will be correct for a while. I have not been able to determine which app/widget/process is causing this. I don't feel like uninstalling everything, since nothing seems to be affected by this. I'm hoping someone may already know, or has the same issue as me and we can compare.
I'm using More Icons, Better Cuts, Weather Widget w/Forecast add-on, Pure Music widget, News & Weather (GenieWidget.apk), and Battery Widget. That's all for 3rd party stuff that's running or on my home screens.

I have same issue and the only thing we're both running is GenieWidget...did you try removing that and rebooting to see if it fixes it?
I believe this problem is Incredilbe wide. It is just that most people haven't noticed.
The first time you go to Running Services it is correct. It is only incorrect once you go there and back out of it, and then go there again. If you do this without rebooting, then the memory info will be blank/0.00B. Reboot and it is back to normal.
EDIT: and, yes, I've removed GenieWidget News app and the bug is still there.

Ok well luckily like you it doesn't seem to have an effect on anything so that's good.
Okay I've done hardcore Googling before deciding to post this. I've tried all possible solutions such as... (do note that I can't recall all setting menus' name exactly as it is lol)
1. Use ChompSMS as the stock Messaging app. seems to keep dialer active after sending a text (Hero CDMA reference)
2. Disable "Use wireless location" under "Location and Settings" as it will anonymously find my location even if no application is in use(that I can see anyway)
3. Disable Google services to get my location at any time.
4. Disabled "Use network automated settings" for "Date and Time"
5. Rebooted my phone. left it there without any battery for a good hour. turned it on again.
note: I'm on a fresh flash after factory reset, cache reset and sdcards formatting to be sure.
Mods if it means anything:
Root(with 2e recovery and busybox 1.17.1)
Battery mod (version E for JP6)
applied speed tweaks(from hardcore on XDA) via RyanZA's OCLF application off the market
okay i think that's it. lol. can't think of any others that could POSSIBLY be the cause of this.
I didn't have any issues at all BEFORE syncing my music/pictures, but it makes no sense to me how it'll be a factor. If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be grateful. Thanks!
Been getting them, more often (or at least it feels like it).
Generic message, so I can't tell which app or system generating them.
How would you troubleshoot this, without phone reset?
Brand new and Bone stock 4.3, haven't had a chance to root yet.
Thanks.

One way to solve it isn't nice, but it works:
1. Root, make nandroid backup (subsequent steps are risky), and install Titanium Backup
2. Filter for user apps
3. Disable everything
4. Reboot and confirm that problem is gone.
5. Enable the first 1/2 of the apps. (In the batch operations menu, long press an app in the middle and choose "Select all below".)
If the problem has returned:
- Of the enabled apps, one is bad. Disable half of those enabled apps.
- Go to step 5.
If the problem is still gone:
- One of the still disabled apps is causing the problem. Enable half of the most recently disabled apps.
- Go to step 5.
This method is a little time consuming, but not as bad as it seems. For 125 user apps, it will take 7 iterations to find the culprit. For fewer user apps, it will take less time. If you disable ALL user apps and the problem persists, the issue is with system data and you need to wipe some system app's data or factory reset.

Thanks - very good troubleshooting technique.
I'll do that this weekend. I'm afraid it's due to some system apps that I disabled. Thing is, I reenabled all and still getting the toasts. I'll probably do a factory reset and install my apps one at a time.
What's weird is, this is what I usually do when I get new Android device. Only this N4 responds differently to my initial set up process.
Found the culprit, it was flip silent. I didn't suspect it at first since I've been using it with my other Android devices, including on CM10.2 (4.3), and never ran into toasts issue like with N4.
Master, my Nexus 6P is rebooting , and I am quite sure that some app is responsible for this.
Please, there is any way to discover what app was responsible for the reboot, like a log file that register the last logs before a kernel panic?
Thanks!!
Search for logcat. Should be droid info you're looking for.
For information and feedback, I am using the phone without reboots for 5 days. First I removed Snapchat and downgraded all applications I participate as tester from Beta to last released version, but the reboots still happened.
So I removed some players widgets (groove, tunein and spotify) but the reboots still happened.
So I disabled System UI Tuner (I used to display the battery percentage in batt icon) and cleaned up the Settings cache to remove the developer settings (I do not enabled any option there) and I do not seen any reboot since this Settings cleanup o/

Hi all,
See title... I'm having trouble in that the camera is overexposing everything, video and still. When I pull up the camera app the subject in question is way too light with colors all washed out. Tried different filters to no avail.
So... I'm either missing something, didn't RTFM, or there really is a problem.
So I went to check for a system update. And I get this:
Service unavailable
The software update of this device is controlled by your organization.
I'm getting unhappier with this phone by degrees. Liked my Note 9 much better.
I could use some input about now... thanks
Rich
You must be signed in with an Office 365 account or a Google account from your organization, which applies custom policies to updates. You must ask your IT manager to review your organization policies since this has nothing to do with Samsung itself. Can I ask you which software version are you running and which security patches you have? The overexposure could easily be some misconfiguration, there's an option within camera settings that resets all to default: try that and disable scene optimizer after.

This is my own phone, set up on my Google account, no IT or Office is applicable. This showed up out of the blue, and I did nothing to cause it. I found the update issue when I checked it manually, figuring that maybe an update would fix it.

You could flash the latest firmware manually with Odin 3.14.4 from samfw.com
Then check to see if the issues persist or not, if yes I'd backup and factory reset, start from scratch, seems you've either installed an app that enables some enterprise level security features or something has bugged out
Before resetting, try removing your Samsung and Google accounts from the device from Settings > Accounts & Backup > Manage Accounts, then add them back again
And clear data/cache for the camera app from Settings > Apps > Scroll down to find Camera > Tap camera > Tap storage > Clear Data at the bottom
You can find the Firmware and Odin file HERE if you are going to take @*Detection* 's route by flashing the latest firmware.
Ah! Stupid me... had updates disabled with Package Disabler. Camera works fine in full manual so I'll probably (should) go that route. Firmware would be the last act of desperation but I surely do appreciate the help and the links. Thanks!
