Facing a peculiar GPS issue on my phone. 3rd Party apps can't seem to be able to use location services.
Apps like Sygic, Endomondo etc. are unable to locate me through the GPS.
On the other hand, Maps works perfectly well and I get a good connection pretty quickly. Help?
maybe is there any option under security?
Nope, can't seem to find anything of that sort.

So, it seems Google Maps worked fine for me, and I didn't realize it was using something other than GPS to locate me. So I tell it to use GPS- and it takes longer to get a lock, but its a different location by a few meters. Interesting.
Ontop of this, I tried to use TrackMe program and the GPS Photo option which I really think can be great. TrackMe seems to have picked up a signal after I kicked on the google maps, but the GPSPhoto has no such luck.
Anyone get GPS Photo to work, or their GPS in general?
It would seems maybe my settings are off? I have my programs set to COM4 and my Hardware set to none, as it wont let me pick a COM port in the 'external GPS' settings.
anyone else have these issues or am I a fool?

I applied the new baseband and I get instant GPS locks when using Maps or GPS Status. However, when I try running apps, like MapMyRun or Cardiotrainer, they complain that they can't get a GPS lock. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this or what I could do to make these apps work as well as Maps and GPS Status?

Hello,
after two days of good GPS working, today I had an issue. After setting up destination in Waze, it showed a message "GPS cannot connect" or similar. I restarted the phone but it was the same. I let the Waze run for 10 minutes, but nothing changed.
Then I started Google Maps. There was no GPS connection neither, but after couple of minutes it started to work. And then I was able also use the Waze as well.
Do you know guys what is the issue?
Thank a lot.
Sounds like an agps (assisted GPS) issue. Periodically most phones download a table of satellite locations to speed up getting a lock. Otherwise it can take some minutes and some apps don't seem to cause a proper initialization. There is often a system setting to also allow WiFi scanning to speed up a lock. This uses access point locations to get a quick fix using Google's database of WiFi locations. Lastly the phone can use cell tower locations also looked up from a database. If you've ever tried to get a lock while on an airplane, you will see this effect.
I'm short though, if the GPS ever gets stuck, there is a good app called GPS test from chartcross that always kick starts it again for me.

I don't know what the root cause is or the fix but I am able to use a free app called gps locker which locks gps then while running Waze I have few if any issues. It's also nice as it let's you create a shortcut for your home screen that you can tap, which launches gps locker , locks gps location, then auto launches Waze. Super handy. See attached.
Is anyone else having major GPS issues. Waze and Google Maps is having issues acquiring a GPS signal. I tried GPS lock but that doesn't seem to solve the problem for me either. It seems to work sometimes and gets a signal pretty quickly but other times it doesn't work at all. It's very frustrating.
Seems like Waze might be the issue.
I saw another post on t mobile support that suggested removing Waze clearing cache and restarting. This worked like a champ for me
Google maps works perfectly again. GPS locks immediately like it should.
My XZ Premium has the 47.2.A.10.107 build on it.
The Compass has stopped working and any GPS apps I use, apart from Google Maps, never find a GPS signal (GPS Status, GPS Test, Waze)
I find it odd that Google Maps will still work without issue though.
I have tried turning on and off 'Wi-Fi scanning' and 'Bluetooth Scanning' from within 'Locations Services'
Anyone have any ideas?

G8142 on 47.2.A.11.228, currently having the exact same issue.
What i have tried:
Using a different GPS.conf No good.
Unrestrict Locationservices battery usage No good
Clearing apk data and cache No good
*#*#7378423#*#* No good
Feels like a hardare issue to me.
