GPS does not work

Very disappointed ! I will change phone soon. If someone want to buy this contact me. Ste.tedeschi@gmail.com. ciao
PS fp1 1month old with cover.
GPS working now and then…

Did you try the following:
Go to ‘System settings’ (the button far left below on your Fairphone).
Tap on 'Location access’
Make sure that ‘GPS satellites’ are 'on’
Tap on the word 'GPS satellites’
Make sure that the box after ‘GPS EPO assistance’ is ticked on
Tap on ‘EPO settings’ and leave the box after ‘Auto download’ empty.
Make sure that the box after ‘A-GPS’ is ticked on
Tap on ‘A-GPS settings’ and only tick the box after ‘Network Request’ to on.
Reboot your Fairphone.
Now download F-Droid , here you can get apps which are Free and Open Source Software.
Then download FP1-EPO-Autoupdate
After the download run the FP1-EPO-Autoupdate and give it permanent Root access.

For short journeys I don’t plug it in and it makes no difference for me. Still hopping on and off the road (even if it’s a motorway) and dreadful accuracy :frowning:

I do not have Google Maps and instead use µg Unified Nlp with OSMand~ (both from F-Droid) and I got really surprised, when I was going by train and GPS showed my exact position on the rails. :smiley:
