Continuing the discussion from GPS stopped working : I continue this forum topic because I have the same problem: my GPS just doesn´t work at all. I try it with OsmAnd~ and SatStat and with settings set to high accuracy, but nothing works. On SatStats I can see some detected satellites, but my posit…

Good point. SatStat “claim” it’s just a diagnostic tool (besides the ability ro refresh A-GPS), but I too make the observation that opening SatStat gets you a fix faster. It may be just the Placebo effect of the time flying by while watching as SatStat finds more and more Satelites, but I don’t thin…

Thank you both for the tip! I guess that I just have to be more patient… I don’t use the GPS that often, so it’s hard to determine how and when it works or not. The only thing that doesn’t work at all is the localisation for the app I use for local transports ( https://apkpure.com/sbb-mobile-preview/…

There are still lots of odd behaviour that I observe even in SatStat: I sometimes get a fix almost instantly, but the error is 20Km or more although a whole bunch of satellites have turned blue - what means it uses them for the fix. Time to fix is zero, but it does not display any bearing or speed. …

[image] M_Dammer: I sometimes get a fix almost instantly, but the error is 20Km or more I get that too, but it only lasts a few seconds, so I wouldn’t think much of it. [image] M_Dammer: Time to fix is zero Same here. Also satellites already turn blue - usually after 0 seconds - befor…

I just checked this morning with SatStat and my FP2 thinks it is still at my dentists (where I took the last fix when leaving the surgery). This was over 24h ago. In map view it shows the location as “stale location” and the error shown on the GPS display is equivalent to the line of sight distance …

Hello everyone! I have a problem with the gps… Until yesterday I had the stock os and everything was fine. Yesterday I installed the open os and now Google Maps (yes I in,stalled the openGapps) can’t find my gps really well… It still find me but with more or less 30 meters of diameter! Not really p…

Check the #gpsguide for some general tips (disregard EPO, which is just relevant for the FP1).

As you said it is just for FP 1…I do have an FP 2. The problem is that I actually never get the fix on the GPS. It is just the position based on the Wi-Fi and data signal. Is this a "common " problem after the update of the FP open os or is it strange? Could be a hardware problem?

Did you try the workarounds suggested in this thread? (e.g. setting intermediate position to 1) If your GPS worked in the FPOS I don’t think that it is a hardware issue.

Yes, I tried and still no fix. However it started to give me problems few days after the update. At the very beginning everything was working fine…
