I am facing issue with GPS on P40 pro its not giving accurate location for me on maps. It was working fine before but from 2days its happening. I tried to reset the device as well but same. In GPS status app its giving Error 500meters. Any one have idea how i can fix this issue and where exactly the issue is.
Look for GPS re-calibrating apps in the stores.

Hi, i had problems with my GPS, i had enabled the two option avaliable in the location settings. However i am able to find my location using the cell tower, but my gps sign just keeps on flashing and it was not able to lock to satellites. May i know if it is hardware issues or software?
I am able to lock to satellites before, however now it takes forever. Thank You.
Are you trying outside? It's difficult to get a signal inside.
"GPS Status" free from the market shows you some good data, like how many birds it can see.
BTW "flashing", the icon itself is appearing and disappearing or the icon is animating? Also what ROM are you on and in which application(s) are you trying.
This may not help that much but I damaged my long coax to the gps chip while I changed my housing. Since then it acts the same as you described, so you could be experiencing a hardware issue. The parts for the gps can be found online for about $40 if you determine its a hardware issue.

Hi, i am on KB7SQI's Rogers Mod 2.3, hmm i did tried it outdoor before and it refuses to lock on to the satellite. The icon of the gps will come on and off, it does not stay fixed, i have also tried on Google Maps App. It cannot detemine my location. Locking onto the satellite should take a few seconds, however mine took forever.
I am hoping it is not a hardware issue, importing parts would be very very expensive for me. I believe if it is a hardware issue,the icon will not even appear. Is there anyway i could test out whether my gps chip is working? Thank You.

did you try a factory wipe/reset?

I have just upgraded from v2.1 with a wipe, thus this is a wierd problem for me. Any Idea, besides hardware problem? Thanks
It works before after some updates, the gps is always showing searching for gps signal in my phone for a really long time and no results at all (regardless of navigaition, maps or any other apps using this function). GPS status and test both show no satelites at all ..
anyway I can completely test it to know if it's hardware issue or not? or any way I can reset the whole gps (thinking possible some early use cause wrong position records in the cache?).
Having the same issue too
Hi,
I've been having problem for some time with GPS and Google Navigator: after a while the navigator looses the GPS fix and never regains it. The odd thing is that I have no problem with Waze.
Do you have any clue of what could be the problem and how to fix it?
I have a stock ROM and the phone is not rooted.
Thanks
A-GPS update ?
Have you tried any apps like "GPS Status & Toolbox" from the play store to force update/reset your A-GPS data ? It might sound dumb ...

Try to use a mysterious feature in this forum, namely: search feature.
However, as I see that you're unfamiliar with it, please refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043034 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697217
Rooted HTC One (Sprint) - s-off
GPS problem - compass facing seems to add 45 degrees CW to whatever it should be. This causes a lot of problems with GPS. Tried resetting the compass with the 3 axis spin trick. Tried resetting gps using gps status and ##4772579#. No change. Downgraded Maps to original. Solves some problems but not all. Mainly the downgraded maps seems to respect directional travel as an indication of bearing.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas how to fix?
There are a few gps calibration apps in the playstore.. Whether they work or not is another story, but maybe try one out and see..

Tried many. Thinking maybe a hardware problem. I set it next to an HTC EVO and the numbers come up close to 45deg estimate off in every app. Weird and annoying.
Hello guys,
After updating my note 9 to the One UI I encounter some really annoying problems with my GPS.
I can't really use Waze or Gmaps because the location is not working properly. The GPS keeps losing signal all the time, city or highway.
I downloaded GPS test and it seems like the phone can't lock the signal properly, even when it succeeded, the accuracy is really bad, around 32 - 64 meter, and sometimes more.
I tried to look for other cases on the internet but I couldn't find anything.
Is anyone encounter this problem? Can offer a solution that might solve it?
Thanks.
Obviously thinking that not having problems before with Oreo excludes hardware issues, try first of all to make a wipe cache in recovery mode to see if resolves and if not, try wipe data in settings - applications of every single app involved and if all done is worthless, try even to reinstall the single app. If not resolving I think that a factory reset, always from recovery, is needed because don't know others, me included, having this issue .
I'm using a Note FE and I recently updated my device to Pie with One UI and my GPS problem is exactly like yours. I need help too. Can't seem to find any solution.

I had that issue with my note 9 sprint version when i flashed tmobile u1 android pie, i ended doing a factory reset and everything worked fine after that. My google maps would lose signal when i put phone into standby it would say lost gps signal or something like that. But if i used the app it would work fine.
