Hello!
I can't get any GPS lock on my Zenphone Max Pro M2 ZB631KL.
A quick search of the forum doesn't seem to be bringing up any problems with GPS for others.
used app SatStat, no lock on any satellites
This didn't doesn't work in LineageOS 16, so then I tried LineageOS 16 microG ROM
Any troubleshooting suggestions?
(This isn't a deal-breaker for me, but it would be nice to get the GPS working)

Hi there,
My GPS suddenly stopped working. It used to work fine before, but now when I switch on the TomTom6 application, it says "No GPS Device". 30 seconds later it changes it to "Waiting for a Valid GPS signal".
Did I somehow disable the GPS? I am not that familiar with my P3600 and the TomTom Navigation. Please advice.
Thanks.

tomtom will always say "no gps device" when you first fire it up and it'll switch over to "no valid GPS signal," get into clear view of the sky and it'll find a signal.
Done that. Still not working. And it used to work fine a week ago.
Any other ideas?
me too
My GPS (tomtom trinity) is very quirky, too. I opened my GPS icon and set my gps program port to GPD1 and my hardware to COM 9. Worked immediately - then quit for a day - working again today. I don't understand what GPD1 is and I don't know what COM ports my other software and hardware uses - If I saw a listing, I might not understand but it would prob help. Can anyone either tell me appropriate settings if there are any OR tell me how to show what ports are already in use - perhaps I could open other programs then check port usage - anyway thanks for any help
My apologies if this specific question has already been answered - I try to read the whole board but it's hard to keep up.
How many GPS Application u use?
Do you use more than one GPS Application? Make sure there is only one running at a time. Remember: Most applications do not exit if close them. As far as I know if one application uses the GPS Chip of our beloved trinity any second application will wait forever...
Same Here

My GPS worked fine for few weeks but it does not work any more.
Patience!!! I have had GPS fixes in 15 seconds with some ROMS. Currently it takes 15 seconds to move from "No GPS Device" to "Waiting for a Valid GPS signal". If you have this message WAIT - even for 5 minutes. IT WILL WORK.
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).
my lg l5 II (E460) the GPS does not work
who has an idea to solve this
Hi mate! OK here's the deal:
I have the same phone. Used to have Samsung i5700 before it. The Samsung's GPS was stronger, faster and more sustainable (durable), I mean it didn't lost the signal too often.
The case with LG L5 II is rather different. I haven't tested it on the road yet (I don't own a car stand for this phone, YET - need to concentrate on the road), but there are problems with it.
In a clear sky it takes somewhere between 20 - 250 seconds to fix me. My old phone (android 2.2) needed somewhere about 15-60 seconds for the same task. Ridiculous.
So here are my top tips if you want your GPS to work - it would not be faster, but it would work. Sorry, but I dunno how to make it as fast as my SAMSUNG was:
1. Install GPS Status and Toolbox: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=gps+status+and+toolbox&c=apps
It is the best application for testing the speed of your GPS. Use it under clear sky (no clouds, mists or whatsoever)
2. Install GPS status - test and fix from this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jb2NoaWJvLmdwc3N0YXR1cyJd
and read this XDA topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197842
Follow the steps there. It would make your GPS work
3. Install one of those navigation apps:
iGO Primo (paid)
OruxMaps (free)
Osmand maps (free)
I don't like the new versions of Sygic (paid), but you can give it a go too.
With a combination of these apps my GPS locates me - slowly and sometimes looses signal, but it fixes me nevertheless.
I hope someone gives us a solution about this problem AND root for our new LG L5 II - awesome phone, with some problems regarding camera and GPS (maybe because it is cheaper than it's competitors)
Cheers!

Unsure if you are still having problems however I found that for some reason Sygic was killing my GPS and had to factory reset, TomTom seems towork fine. Also see this link as itmay help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197842
Hi, I need little help with few problems with my Nexus 4 Sailfish
1) not important, but USB mass storage mode is not working
2) bluetooth is not working - there is no quick action to turn it on or off, in setting > bluetooth tells me that bluetooth is not available
3) everything related with GPS is not working - I tried some android apps like Sygic, Navfree and OSMand, gpsinfo tells me that some sattelites have fixed signal, but it is not showing longitude/latitude etc. and those apps still are just searching signal, but will never find.
I think it won´t be a hardware problem, because I have dualboot with android 5 and there is everything working ok.
Can you help me please?
noone will help me?
Install bluetooth:
devel-su
pkcon install bluez
IIRC, GPS only works with gapps installed
Hello, thanks for reply, but I have already solved it. I use OSM Scout Server and poor maps. but it is not full car gps navigation, lot of features are not included. So if I understand properly, sfdroid works with gps, but only with Gapps installed? And what about Alien Dalvik? If I install Alien Dalvik and not Gapps, it is the other option?
There is no way to legally install Aliendalvik on Mako. And i haven't tested sfdroid: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_mako
Gapps bring Google's positioning service. I don't see the point in having an alternative OS and then installing Google stuff on it. I can live with PoorMaps.
Hello,
I'm French and i Love this community for me who are fan of technologie, so thank you for what do you do together.:good:
I have a Huawei P8 lite ALE L21. With my greatest joy I was able to install Lineage OS 14.1 unofficial.
I know in that version some things did not work such as the camera recorder or the photo who bug, as well as the GPS and others things.
But for the camera video and photo I found the alternative. I installed the Footej Camera application. And now camera recording or photo as working perfectly!!! This is AWESOME!!! :victory:
And now I can make videos of 30 mins, take multiple photos and all that without bug with my great happiness.
And if not everything working, even the SD card, the LTE network, the WIFI, and the CPU does not heat up.
But the bug GPS persist and I know that it was marked, that it was one of the points that did not work in this version.
But I was able to do perform working the GPS few times, it tracked me on the map and at other times not.
So maybye that it just a little error to fix, or something else but if sometimes the GPS tracked me on map, maybye they have some solution like some other GPS applications or updates may that working ?:fingers-crossed: So I come to my question:
But would not there be such as for the camera video a GPS application that make work the GPS? Or a tweak that make it work? Or an update, or an application other than Google as for the camera that make the GPS work. Please If you have solution, i take her!!!
So like for the camera video are they some solutions to do for the GPS?
Thank you for all what do you do brother of XDA.
