Hello,
I have the same problem since update to Android 6.0.
I have done all OTA update and i've the lastest version from their website... but no GPS.
I have opened a ticket on their support but the answer is always :
" Hello, we are still working on it. Updates will come some days later.
Have a nice day!".
I send us 3 messages in one month and i'm still waiting from us...
Hope they will find a solution quickly !
Bye
Still no new update from ulefone, when can i use my GPS, with a stable signal?
I have the same issue. BTW: fingerprint sensor wakes up the device randomly, with no finger on it. LED lights not working even with the newest firmware.
For GPS: mobile GSM data are in conflict with GPS. There will be NO WAY how to SW fix this.
Returning this device to seller. This is the worst lack of tests prior manufacturing I have ever seen..

Hi all,
Problem with the GPS on my Orbit 2! Though so far I love it to bits really.
I have done a search here but cant find anything.. I really hope it is just me asking the wrong question. Anyway someone must know something.
The problem is this:
The GPS with Copilot was working amazingly when I first got it. I was knocked out by it.
I haven't used it much but when I have I was delighted.
However, recently I have been noticing that the number of satellite signals has been going down. It has also been taking longer and longer to get a fix.
Today I could not use it at all, even when it got a "fix" It was showing me no where near the right road.!! Have some satellites fallen out of the sky!!??
Currently it has 3 days before I need to do the QuickGPS thing. So that should be ok.. I will try again with the update but is there any known problem with the GPS. If there are problems with GPS do they normally behave like that or just stop altogether?
If there is a problem I guess I need to send it back.. :-(
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Its very painful when you get up in the morning and try to depend on something that is not working!

Same problem
I also got the same problem, but I found out that a reboot solved the issue. After the reboot it found the satellites again.
Just checked my system update and there is a new one available.
System Upgrade 1.132.405.6 (18.1MB)
-Update: Improve screen control and Youtube client performance connection.
I'm guessing the youtube part is perhaps a solution to the crash error in the latest youtube update when you try to go back from landscape mode viewing. Screen control improvement possibly a Proximity Sensor fix?
Yet to download it but will try tonight on WiFi and update on what else seems to have changed.
just checked my had and found same update,,,here goes hope it fixes things and dont break anything (battery should last 5 days with new update )
wishfull thinking
Same here!
I can confirm this fixes the Youtube bug! Don,t have the prox. sensor issue, so can't check this!
+1 Fingers crossed
If you can't see it in the update section of your phone I've uploaded this RUU and others to:
http://mcgh.ee/DHD
Have just installed it, has made a definite improvement to the proximity sensor. Not holding my breath for the next couple of days though.

+1 here
got it here and it fixes youtube, one thing you have to say about HTC is that they sort out software issues pretty quick .The phones been out about what 10/14 days and 2 updates already , while some say there should not be faults, i look at it that at least they get their finger out and sort them
I like this "bug solving speed" too, compared to 5 months of solving 2.1 bugs in case of Motorola Milestone (which was extremly annoying as one of the bugs was a random reboot bug).
Nice seeing some updates but the sync problems on Exchange 2010 are still the same. I cant use the phone without this feature.
Yes, the Exchange Server 2010 Problem is still unsolved :-(
update, same as all, you tube fixed. i didnt have any issue with sensor ever so...
Can confirm that this update has new radio version: 26.03.02.26_M, HBoot remains at version: 0.85.0007
VISIONary still working nicely. I guess we will see exactly what they mean by "SCREEN CONTROL" in the update as the days move on.

But 1.32.405.6 is missing there..
Lame old tmobile.. I get kicked from my data connection if I try to download the update.
And by kicked I mean lost all data for least 10th mins.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
would like to hear more thoughts on the proximity sensor. did this fix it for anyone else?

Me too, I thought it was my signal at first and restarted the phone twice, I'll wait until I get home and use the WiFi
Just out of interest are people doing hard resets of the phone after an update? I had to do it after updating when I first got the phone and it solved a lot of the problems I'd started getting since the update but it just seems like effort to do it each time without a decent whole phone backup and restore facility in place.
yes confirm the update did download and install normally....I don't have the prox snsr issue, but seems to fix the youtube bug....
all go here.....love my device....

Hi,
The GPS on my Oneplus One appears to be very close to broken after the OTA update to 5.1. My phone is completely stock - ie not rooted, locked bootloader, the whole lot. Everything else on the device works beautifully.
I've searched around and it doesn't appear to be a very common problem with this phone.
The GPS worked flawlessly on 4.4 and I think on 5.0 (was only on 5.0 for a couple of days before the 5.1 OTA came through).
Using GPS test I can see 32 satellites, but it will very, very slowly fix to 7 or 8 and sometimes get a lock, mostly not.
Is this something anyone else is finding, or has a fix for?
I'm not against rooting and flashing another ROM, it just seems a little overkill when everything else works so well.
Thanks in advance for any help...
Did you tried GPS Fix from Playstore?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
^^^ Yes, often resetting and downloading new AGPS data can fix this. I use GPS Status & Toolbox.
Thanks guys. "The GPS Fix" app sorted it out. I'm not sure what it actually does behind the scenes but I'm getting a solid lock instantly now.
Is this something I'm going to need to do periodically, or after a reboot to keep it working?
Cheers...

I travel a lot internationally and only have to do it when I go to another region. Once I'm in a region for a while, I just leave it alone.
This is what I used http://ejvyas.blogspot.com/2015/10/one-plus-one-bacon-gps-fix.html
Did it work well long term?
I thought I'd fixed this with the apps mentioned earlier, but it's still pretty poor. 30 seconds plus to fix and then drops out constantly...
Same issue here.. It started after the last update..I travel for business and I use the phone to plan my route.. Last trip had great weather yet horrible drop off. Hasn't gotten any better since..
Hi all,
I have the newest MTCD firmware 5.1.1 from Malaysk installed because on stock rom my GPS failed.
Unfortunately this did not help.
Any suggestions?
Oh never mind, I discovered that hundreds of people have gps problems with Lollipop and Google does not care.
Does anyone know of a Kitkat rom for a MTCD device?
In Kitkat all worked like a charm.

i have the same problem.......
the first time my gps see 20 satellite end have a connexion with 8 of this
after this the next day i can t see noone satellite...
i don t understand why...
It is a Lollipop problem. After Google's update from Kitkat to Lollipop the gps on many users devices have gps troubles.
Mine worked also in the beginning correctly, but after 1 or 2 days no satellites are found anymore.
Since I have a MTCD device, no Kitkat roms are available.
Look here for more information: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81140
and you have resolved the problem?????
No, Google should come with a fix, or perhaps the developers here find a solution.
Did you read the thread I included? It is a very big issue that renders our units wothless regarding navigation.
yes i read ....and i look for someone the resolve the problem with phone....not for me... i hope that google or someonelse fix the problem fast
OK, I solved my problem.
After inspecting the HU I discovered that the gps antenna connector was faulty.
So I did had 3 volt on the radio connector, but the gps connector had a loose wire.
Repaired it and problem solved.
Perhaps you have a similar problem....
thak you for information i try to look for it.....if you can .... put a picture of your work? thank you
Can you tell me about the fix? I have the same problem on erisin unit for e46, sometimes it works i have signal, sometimes no signal... And it stay with no signal untill the car is off for 2-3 hours, from where shoud i start?
Hello,
3 days ago I dropped my phone, it survived thanks to the official rubbery case, it just rebooted by itself and nothing more, not event a scratch.
Yesterday, I've noticed Google Maps having a hard time to locate me, I tried several things, reboot, another gps app, even the app GPS Test but I can't get a single GPS signal, I think my gps may have died from the drop but I'm still unsure.
I'd like to test it through the hardware test you can usually access with the emui secret code but I can't find a working one on EMUI 5, is there any secret code for hardware test in EMUI 5 ? What can I try ?
Thanks
dead GPS
Similar problem but without dropping the phone...
After about two months of owning the phone I just realized that the GPS doesn´t work at all.
It went unnoticed because I always use wifi+mobile data option that is sufficient to locate me in Google maps. Only when I needed real navigation I realized there is a problem.
It certainly is not caused by mechanical damage because the phone is masked from the day 1 and had never been dropped.
I did a factory reset with no success (i am on emui5, b360). Applications for testing GPS signal can not locate any satellite, let alone get a fix on. It looks as if the GPS is completely dead.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Or some advice what to do before I take it to service center...
Hi, i bought a FRD-L04 in USA in january, ive the same issue. The first month it was working just fine, then i didnt use the gps for days and the OTA comes. And now i realice that the gps isnt working the way u are saying. the phone has not a single drop, not a single scratch, so i think its a software problem.... i was thinking in a downgrade to marshmallow to see if the problem is in the ota

Mine is FRD-L09.
I cant really tell whether the problem appeared with upgrading to EMUI5 because I upgraded the same day I bought it (and never used GPS-only location service anyway).
If you try downgrading to MM and it solves the problem, please report back.
Just to let you know, after a factory reset the GPS was still dead.
I have sent it to the service center, I don't know what they did to the phone but the GPS is working again.

It worked for me too!
Do you plan to go back to EMUI 5? If you do, please report back the GPS status.
I´ll stay on MM for a few days, only to test the battery (since I upgraded to N the day I bought it).
Hi. Where can I find the Rom to downgrade to 6.0 MM?
