Hey guys,
I'm already on the road, so writing from mobile.
I realised problems with the location service in my AL10 352 (kang).
My Mate 8 only finds a location when GPS services are fully activated (high accuracy mode)
The power saving mode (battery saving) does not work at all and even the google location history is underlining the problems.
How can I solve it?
Many thanks in advance!

Okay, in the train I had some time.
I've found out it has something to do with the networklocation.apk because it's linked to baidu or so.
I've tried unifiednlp but it's not able to 'bind to system', even with the proper xposed module.
I also noticed I have nowhere a networklocation.apk. It schould be in system/apps or system/priv-apps.
Anyone an idea?
New update so far...
My Google Play Services is not requesting for "Location". I also can't revoke it in the permission manager because "Location" is not listed there.
If anyone could check it on his Mate 8, would be great. Not sure if this is right.
Also logcat is giving me this:
GCoreFlp: No location to return for getLastLocation()
Additionally the app Network Info II says Location Service is disabled when my GPS is in powersave mode.
UnifiedNLP reports "network-based location" is not enabled.
I already rolled back to a previous Google Play Service version (not mixing it up with GPS ^^) and reinstalled Google Maps (in the hope it communicates with the play services...)
Nothing fixed it.

I picked up a Charge last Friday and rooted it the next day. However, both before and after the root (to gummycharged) the network location functionality was broken. Maps would only give me a location if GPS was enabled; trying to get one with GPS off gives a "Please enable a My Location source in system settings" popup even though "VZW Location services" is checked. And nevermind the legal message that comes up every time GPS is enabled...
So the question is, did I break something? I've searched for stuff all day, and though there was some stuff about things being broken with that function on other devices around the end of last year, I haven't seen anything since. I'm wondering if I should just wait for a gingerbread ROM to come along and install that to see if that fixes things...
Update: I have tried copying in a networklocation.apk file from another ROM into my system/app folder, but still no luck. I don't understand why it won't even try to use the network location. I even found the NetWork Location app, which seems to be working just fine and giving me lat/long. It just doesn't work for maps.
VZW Location Services isn't a source that google maps (or pretty much any other program on your phone) can access. That service is only for Verizon Navigator (which is $10/mo and doesn't provide much that Google Maps gives you for free).
So, you have to enable one of the other location services, either the GPS or the google location services.
Google wrote the message that "Please enable a My Location source in system settings" but Verizon added the menu entry for their location services after that. That's why it sounds like checking the Verizon box should make maps work, but it doesn't.
Ah, that makes some sense now. *smacks forehead*
So, I've checked the Google box, and now I don't get the message any more, but it still won't give me a location even after rebooting.
Should I go back and install the regular gummycharged mod? I think my screwing around with networklocation.apk may have actually broken it...
EDIT: IT WORKS!!! Went back, reinstalled gummycharged, and it f'ing works!
You, sir, are The Man. Or The Woman, as the case may be.
Since a while I'm having big problems with SmartLock Trusted Places. When I'm @ home and having the home address from Google Maps enabled, it almost never works.
If I manually add my neighbors addresses as well it works for the moment but that result does not last.
If I go into the settings and add something it updates my location to the very address that is added automatically by enabling Home from Google Maps.
Location and location history is enabled on the device.
High accuracy, battery saving & device only all get the same result, it does not work.
Running 5.1 with Google Play services 7.0.97 (-438).
Does it work for you?
I actually just logged on to ask the same thing. It's been this way ever since 7.x dropped. It's so frustrating all the issues this new play services has caused.
Hi all.
Out of the blue I got this error message every minute.
I use Unofficial Beanstalk ROM 5.0.2.
Stock kernel.
I cleared cache, and Dalvik. I also cleared cache of Google Play Services and Google Services Framework.
But this error keeps coming back.
I haven't changed anything in the phone nor have I messed with any system settings.
I can't find any decent solution to the problem.
The apk shows version 7.5.71 (1955121-438)
Appreciate your help.

AFAIK, there is no "decent" solution at this time.
Please change your Location setting to Device Only. It will stop the FCs for the time being.

No one knows why it happens or how to solve this? wierd.
How is this related to device location settings?
Out of nowhere I get "Google Play Services" has stopped working messages like every 20sek. Working with the phone is impossible and my Moto 360 doesn't work anymore either Using Stockrom CM12S with franco kernel, any ideas or solution?
Same problem here. This is so annoying!
Will try "device only" now. AFAIK this uses only GPS to get your current location - so this should dramaticly increase battery drain, right?
This trick didn't help
Same case. I am also getting these errors. there are solutions people have posted to disable GPS. But the phone is useless when it is without GPS.
Waiting for a fix ASAP.
For me it actually did! In another thread another solution came up: try enabling "keep awake", "wake up" and "autostart" in Privacy Guard for the Google Play Services. This also worked for me (although my Privacy Guard was not enabled for the Google Play Services the settings still did matter! So make sure to really enable them in the submenu!).
The random crashing seems to occur when:
location "high accuracy" PLUS Google Play Services are limited in Privacy Guard (keep awake, wake up, autostart)
Disabling one of the two should fix the problem.
BTW disabling GPS didn't solve the problem for me. "device only" means you only use GPS and not network location. The network location thing is what causes the crashing in combination with the Privacy Guard. So (at least for me) no need to disable GPS.
Looks good. Let me see if there is any issues now. I remember we all changed the "keep awake", "wake up" and "autostart" in Privacy Guard for the Google Play Services in an older version of Google Play Services.
Hope this is all fixed now and should not drain the battery (as it did in previous version).
How I solved the Play Services stopped FCs
Hardly this last version of Google Play Services will work properly, either clearing the data, blocking services on Privacy Guard, etc. Tested many things and the problem comes from the last update of Play Services, which includes in its changelog suspiciously some "Location Api improvements".
In my experience these last days the problem it seems to come when the services requests for location. If you use Apps asking frequently for locations you'll have the error very often, making usefulness your phone, as least mine. Using 3 Apps needing GPS location at same time is frustrating..
How I solved for now:
Go to Play Store, find Google Play Services in your Apps
Click on Uninstall (only will uninstall the last update of Google Play Services).
From that moment, some advice about certain Google Apps (Hangouts, Google Maps, etc.) may appear if you have these Apps installed. Ignore them, otherwise you'll need to update again if you want to use them, but...
But I can't find google play services in play store.
GPS vs Networ in Location fixed

Same as TerrorApple. Disable Location services, but as this is needed often enable Location services only with GPS. This worked for my device
Hi
My device is running the latest firmware (132), needless to say it's a Chinese version.
When I try to share my location on Google Maps, I get the following error: "We couldn't turn on Location History for [email protected]. To turn on Location History go to Location settings". However, when I click on "Open Location Settings", the Location History setting DOESN'T even EXIST so I cannot toggle it ON.
Any idea how to fix this issue? I tried almost everything except factory setting which I don't believe would help.
Thanks
David
Hi David,
I agree with your request. I had also opened a topic about it because I can not activate the Google Maps history.
I tried to restore the Honor Note 10, to install Google services (Google Services, Google Framework) but I was not able to enable the history anyway.
Someone says that it is the Chinese ROM that does not allow it to do so, another user reports that the chronology works for him https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77741213&postcount=32
Hello, I spoofed my location with FakeLocation app prior my trip to somewhere. So I'm not sure if my problem related with spoofing or not, because I actually visited that place for couple days.
Google Maps shows the location I spoofed first then after couple seconds shows my real location. İf I close/open app it happens again. Yandex Map stucks on wrong location permanetly. I searched on the forum and Google before posting this thread and tried all of the solutions recommended. I'm trying to fix this over 2 weeks now.
I turned off Mocked Location on developer setttings
I deleted app data/cache uninstalled/installed Google Maps
I deleted app data/cache of Google Play
I tried to deleted Google Location History (it was turned of already)
I opened/closed High accuracy/Wifi/Bluetooth Scans
I tried to reset A-GPS data with GPS Status App and GPS Locker
I wiped dalvik/cache on TWRP
I installed lastest Eurom for my phone
+GpsFİx Apps shows
Android GPS Provider - Spoofed Location
Android Network Provider - Spoofed Location
Google Play Services - Real Location
+CIT GPS test (Hardware Test) Passes with Real Location
I feel like I tried evertyhing except factory resetting. Do you have any recommendations?
