[Q] Very strange location problem... - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very strange problem with my new Nexus 5: I noticed that sometimes (many times every day, to be honest) my phone displayed wrong locations in Google Now. The GPS module seems to work because when I opened Google Maps and checked for my location it found the right position in few seconds, even setting "Device Only" in Location settings.
So, I decided to take a look at my Location History, and here's what I got:
It seems like I've been in Paris, Rawang, Kanpur and Bangkok several times in the past few days, but I never moved from Italy!!!
I think I can exclude the possibility for my Google account to have been hacked, because of the two-steps authentication which should send an SMS to my phone when someone tries to log in.
I've also restored my phone to the default settings and erased my data when I rooted it, but the problem is still there, as it was before rooting it.
Please help :crying: I don't know what to do, and I'd rather not to send my phone back to google because, apart from this issue, it's perfect.

I'd download My Tracks and leave that on for a couple of hours or so. See what that does.

But that won't help me solving my problem... actually my phone finds its right position if it uses the GPS: the issue appears only when Google Now asks for the location (based on the 3G network i suppose).

Give it some time. I had the same problem and it resolved after a few days.

I'm also from Italy and my geolocation using net (3g) is completely broken.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545837

I'm from Genoa, so I think it's not linked to the network cell we're connected to... I think I'll follow PhilipTD's advice and, if something happens, I'll post here.
P.S: Sorry, I just noticed your PM. If I had seen before I would have posted in your thread instead of submitting a new one...

I've been having this problem at the very least since 1 week now...
My colleague right next to me is running stock Galaxy S2 with H3G and he's localized right away, while I'm not.

Another "coincidence" I guess....
Anyone with quite a few modem knowledge could maybe clear up for us if this issue could potentially happen only on the modem currently used by the nexus 5?

May I also ask you if you use Tasker or if you tried to reboot your phone when the location would fail? For example last night it'd not locate me, or actually it would, saying that I was where I work, but i left work 3 hours earlier and I live 50 km away from it, but after a while trying to get a fix I rebooted the phone and voilĂ , located I was...

Reminds me of when I was experimenting with intermediate pos in the gps.conf file. I got some drastic errors with positioning. You can check that manually in the file or you can download a great free app called fasterGPS which will show that.
If that's not the case check for recent solar activity online which can cause these kinds of issues.
Sent from my Nexus 5... yeah... my Nexus 5

My situation is slightly different... A reboot doesn't even temporarily solve my problem, and I don't use tasker (though I think I'd get the same location issue with that, like all the application which rely on the cellular network to determine position).

We have specifically said that this is not about the gps, gps positioning is fine.

Now I'm sure: it's a Google Play Services problem.
As a matter of fact, if I delete Play Services' data when the issue pops up, and then swipe to update Google Now, it finds my correct location.

Done
Now I enabled the "always scan" (scansione sempre disponibile) option in advanced WiFi settings and the problem seems to be gone, but I don't want this feature, I'd like WiFi to be really off when I disable it.
Did you have this option switched off, too, when you encountered the location issue?

Constant disconnection from google services (lost push notification)

I have just recently found out and realize that below is happening to me.
"Notification bar icons (Wi-Fi, network coverage bars, etc.): Turn green when you have an uninhibited connection to Google, white when you don't. Hint: if you're in a hotel or airport using Wi-Fi, the bars won't turn green until you launch the browser and get past the captive portal."
quoted from http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/some-cool-android-tips-and-tricks.html
when the phone is put to sleep, it often turn white. meaning it got disconnected from google services.
this also resulted to not receiving any push notification (especially on gmail).
when i turn it on again, it will then try to connect to google services and after a while, you will see that the signal bar turn green again.
then only suddenly you receive all the missed notification (this includes gtalk).
anyone has experience similar issue?
(note, i am testing this on mobile data only). going to try it on wifi later.
you seriously have to search the forum, cause this has been covered in a million page thread already in a few different places

It's a known issue for the nexus s with a huge thread discussing it.
Unless I'm confusing the issue? Can anyone tell me if I'm thinking of something else?

[Q] How can I definitively remove this tiresome bug ??

Hi, I am new on forum and on Nexus S, but not with ROMS
I love this phone, but since I bought it, I have a strange bug. Maybe it appears because I did with "rom toolbox pro" a full backup of apps on another smartphone (acer liquid metal) and now I restored all apps on Nexus S.
this is the bug: sometimes (normally when I'm writing a message, or simply using virtual keyboard) it appear the "open as..." window, where I can choose to open it with gosms pro or gmail.
I tried to open it with both programs, and after this window, on gosmspro the text message is about the bug report, with 2 attached files: 1 .txt files with description of bug (but it's too long, approx 4 mb of .txt!!!) and 2 a .jpg screenshot of bug (but in the image there is simply the lock screen).
In gmail it appears the same thing. But I can't understand where is the problem or where the bug starts, so I ask you how can I find it.
I tried also to uninstall some apps (like gosms, also deleting app data) but without progresses.
If you like it, i can post the screenshot of the bug, or also the .txt or .jpg files in the bug report.
Now I'm using the CM10 , and I had the same problem with Skank ROM.
Please help me, I never found an answer on the web to this tiresome bug. : /
thanks guys and thanks for your BIG work !!!

Absolutely. But from experience, it's a good idea to wipe clean once in a while. I usually do it every few months to keep the problems at bay. Sometimes you'll spend more time trying to fix an issue than it would take you to restart from anew, and even if you end up fixing it that's only an issue you see. You aren't fixing udnerlying problems...
So does anything actually crash or is it just this that pops up?

uhm, at the beginning i had 5-6 crashes, but I'm sure that it was linked to the overclock. In fact, when I put 1200 mhz, I was a noobie in that (because I came from smartphones that NEED overclock to have a fluid and rapid system), and when I reset it to 1000 mhz, it never did me another crash no more.
So yes, the bug is only this popup. I know isn't a little bug, but with the passing of times, it appears more and more times, so it's tiresome.
ah, few seconds before bug, the phone vibrate 3 times (everytime).
I'm using a plastic gel cover.
ah, another little thing that I hear yesterday for the first time: the front speaker at the top, sometimes (also 2-3 times in a minute, don' t know if it do that always, as in lock screen) do a very low sound repeated for few seconds (it's hard to explain this, it seems a radio frequency as "toctoctoctoctoc")...sorry for this onomatopea but maybe its' helpful for understanding what I mean
...any news from the .txt that I sent you ?
Take off your case for a whole day, don't put it on your phone. Tell me if it still happens during that day.
I can nearly assure you, up to 99.9%, that your problem will stop.
I know it sounds crazy, but do it. You can thank me later.

OMG that was the problem !??!?
Incredible!!
my last smartphone had similar problem (microphone of acer liquid metal won' t work well with case)!!
but now the case seems to create a worst problem!! I can' t believe that this simple accessories can made theese problems ( considering that technology should give us better phones in every kind of way)....
NEWS : today, for the first time, telephone crashes 2 times: it never happens since my last OC (2 weeks ago) !!
I hope that case was problem for bug and also crashes!!

Tell me if the bugmailer problem seems fixed after using it for a while.
Edit: I don't believe the crashes are related however. I'll tell you the magic behind the bug mailer after you tell me if it's fixed!
ok I'll say you in 2 days!
however, for crashes, I think I did a bull**** using a bad app called "cache fixer", because I used to free memory with my old phone.
If I see crashes again, I' ll wipe the phone.
OMG!!! you seems to have reason (fortunately) !!!
I'm nearly sure to have fixed this, now I wanna know the magic trick!!
How a technologic phone can be shocked by a simple plastic gel ?!?!
I guess that answer it's or the semi-pressure of volume/on-off buttons, or somethink linked to the temprature (with cover it increases). Right ?
Other things: for now, no other crashes, but the strange silent rumor on the top of the headspeaker sometimes appears. Can the phone record this low sound on the top? So you ' ll understand what I mean...
for now... thanks!!

Your phone case presses on VOL +, VOL - and POWER all at the same time. That's a developper feature.
You can "disable" it by turning off USB debug but I highly suggest either fixing your case if possible or getting another one that doesn't press those buttons for no reason.
Edit: I have no idea what you are talking about for the other issue though.

[Q] Component missing i9001

Hey guys! I just bought myself an I9001 Galaxy S Plus from someone (second hand)... It's my first smartphone so i think i've been busted.
The phone seemed to work well, and everything was ok. But when I try to use the GPS (without internet connection), it does'n seem to find any server. I've changed some different ROMs with different Kernels, but it still can't reach any server.
I forgot to mention that with some ROMs the signal level is very oscillating...
Today i was looking at the phone and observed that there is a hole just above the battery where some component, like an antenna or something is missing. I don't know what component is that...
I think that the missing component is the one in te next picture. But what is its name and role? Instead of it, at my phone, there's a soildered wire... This trick was made to mask other issues of the phone? (if i replace the missing component the phone might have problems?)
I'll attach the photos, may be you can help me. Thanks!!!
Does anybody know?

I think it's a Connector coaxial, a micro miniature form of RF coaxial connector. Look at one i marked with an arrow.. You can replace that part from samsung service center
Best of luck.
The details:
Design LOC: RFS100
SEC CODE: 3705-001731
Description: CONNECTOR-COAXIAL
thank you!
but that's the reason why my gps doesn't work?
or that's the reason why the signal level is very oscillating when i'm using some custom ROMs?
do I need it, or i can live without ?

May be. Not sure..
I used to have a i9000B wich is basicaly the same device.
THE GPS signal simply sucks, it was so bad that sometimes it took 2 minutes to lock in open field, with some roms it got better with other even worse.
I used GPS AIDS with that device an app that was developed just to try to solve this particular device problem at that time. look it up, maybe it can help a little bit, but i thing this device will never get a high speed gps lock.

Am i blind, or my antenna is missing completely?
No. Sorry, the antenna is there. I don't know what my problem is with the GPS.
Doesn't seem like there is anything missing. GPS on this was really bad. I never got a GPS signal.

Nearby Places in Dialer Not Working

When I first got my Nexus 5, the nearby places search was working fine. For some reason, it randomly stops working now. Yesterday night, it was NOT working at all. I have the feature turned on in the dialer, location services enabled, accuracy set to high. Woke up this morning and it was working. Now I'm at work and it seems to not be working again... Does anyone know what the hell is going on?

I am having the same issue but I haven't seen it work at all yet.
Same issue here.
Google is probably performing an update to the service I'm tipping.
Funny thing is before getting my N5 I was running the N5 port on my N4 and the dialer app worked properly. Now I actually have an N5 and nothing is showing except my own contacts. Hope Google fixes this.

[Q] Device only location setting not working?

When I turn on my location setting with high accuracy the compass and location move very erratically but when I turn on device only I can't get a lock, it will keep stating it's waiting for location.
Does this mean the GPS on my phone is borked?
Maybe.
You're not using any GPS /location xposed modules are you?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Could be a loose connection to the antenna. Pinch the upper left portion of the phone hard and that should re-seat the antenna.
Thanks, I pinched the corner like you said and it now works but it doesn't give me an accurate reading.
The compass is pointing in the wrong direction and the marker still jumps about.
Is it RMA time?
There are two choices. Rma it or take it apart and use some card stock to pad the GPS antenna so it makes full contact. Call google and RMA it.
Can I ask why my sons iPad mini that doesn't have gps pinpoints my position exactly and also with the compass pointing in the right direction on google maps yet my N5 falters?
Thanks but I'm just trying to understand if it's hardware or software.

If to fix it, you had to physically pinch the device, its obviously hardware.

I have sent it back so hopefully they can replicate the issue on their end and replace.
The phone I returned was perfect apart from the GPS so knowing my luck I'll get one with dead pixels or something else!
Guess what I have the same issue on both of my devices ie Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. And even on my Mi3. When I change to device only it keeps on showing me waiting for location. On high accuracy it shows the location.
Looks like more a software or android issue rather than hardware since all the devices cant have same hardware issue.

Nope nothing for location
It is a frustrating issue but I was also getting a really imprecise GPS lock also. The compass would sometimes point me in the wrong direction and it would also stutter as I drove.
If the replacement has the same issue I can see myself going for the iphone 6 as I really wanted to jump over to android after the L preview, it seems so much more than ios7 and 8.
It seems to keep the price down the nexus devices all have issues regarding build quality.
