I've had my N5 since Nov. 2013 -- running stock 4.4.4, rooted. I've never had a battery problem, until last Sunday.
Thinking some update or another had changed things, I restored a week-old Nandroid and did not update anything from that state.
I recharged the phone and let it sit on my desk. In 1hr. 40min. battery is down to 75%
Google Play Services has gone crazy. It's kept the phone awake for 1hr. 16min. of the time since I took it off the charger.
What has changed? How can I turn it off? I can't even get a day of idling the phone at this rate -- much less actually use it.
Any suggestions appreciated -- and, yes I did Google first, but nothing really helped...
Settings -> Accounts
Remove your Google account
Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services
Clear cache & data
Reboot to recovery, clear cache partition and dalvik cache.
Reboot and add your Google Account again
Did you use the Disable Service app by any chance?

Thank you! Tried it. Won't know, for a while if it works, or not -- but I'll check in later, and let you know.

Okay, much luck! I guess that some background service accidentially stored corrupt data and thus doesn't stop syncing or something like that

It's only been a short time, but, this doesn't seem to have turned the trick. Phone is still very warm to the touch. Battery is dropping like a rock -- about 10% in 5 minutes -- and Google services is adding wakelocks and awake time at an alarming rate.
Does this pic give you any useful info?
It took me a couple more tries to get it, but I did get my phone back to normal. What worked, in the end, was:
Settings-> Apps -> Google Services -> clear data
Settings -> Apps -> Google Search -> clear data
Reboot to recovery -> clear cache & Dalvik
Reboot.
Thanks to all who replied / helped!

Thanks for letting us know. I think the general storage cache clear is what tends to fix this. I have resolved it myself using Settings > Storage > Cached data and rebooting.
I'm wondering if anybody else is having similar problems.
Upgraded to the T-Mobile Nougat 7.0 OTA update. After that, I'm having constant "GPS signal not found" errors in Pokemon Go and my weather widget (1Weather) is having problems finding my location to update. Restarts don't do anything and this problem only happens periodically. Sometimes the apps work! They worked perfectly fine in Marshmallow.
Other GPS apps like Google Maps and GPS Status are working fine; pinpoints my location to within 20 feet. I've tried clearing and re-downloading AGPS data, un/re-installing the malfunctioning apps, clearing cache, data, revoking all permissions to re-enable them. None of that works.
go to Setting > Apps > select app you want > Permissions > disable GPS Permission
and reopen the app and check if it crashes or asking for permission again.
try this solution with restart and let me know if problem remains
Good Luck

Haha
the answer to my question should be No Error or crashes!
I read those that you have problem!
check this
you Disabled GPS permission! >> relaunched the app >> what happened?
- nothing
- crashes
- ask for gps permission

It asks for permission. I grant it. I get, "GPS signal not found".
Update: Sometimes a toast popup comes up that says Google Play Services has stopped responding (crashed). When this crashes, it seems to fix the GPS issues. So I guess now I just have to wait for a proper update for Nougat and the S7...
I have this same issue (same setup as well). I haven't opened my weather app yet (rather just look at the sky ), but I do have constant issues with Pokemon GO. It will just sit there endlessly trying to get the GPS signal, but it doesn't have issues if I am moving.
I have found multiple reddit threads and Samsung support threads on the GPS issue with no luck.

I have been reading up on all of them today, as I normally have zero issues while sitting at my desk. I have toggled many options including optimize battery usage, location itself, clear cache, downloading GPS status and toolbox, and rebooting.
Right now the changes I have made from default are turn off the new app power saving monitoring (settings>battery>3 dots>advanced settings>disable app power monitor), turned of wifi scanning and bluetooth scanning.
The root of my problem was attempting to use the pokemon go plus. It allows the app to use the location of the device in the background while the screen is off and the app is not in the foreground. It was not lighting up every 5 minutes for the pokestop like it normally does. Going to maps, I discovered my location was way off. After opening the app, it would correct itself after a few seconds, but other times it would not.
This is also affecting smart lock (unlock) which allows you to choose locations where your phone does not require a password or fingerprint to unlock. It had always been flaky, but lately actually worked fairly well.
GPS issues is far from the only issue. I see monthly updates coming to us for a while (hopefully carriers will be right behind)
turning off battery optimization for locationservices seems to have made a difference. Smart lock is now working consistently and I am no longer drifting in my app. I also rebooted right before making this change, so that could have an effect too. I am going to leave it like this for a couple days to see if it helps. This makes sense, as the doze feature in nougat got reworked.
If you go to the Location settings, you'll notice that the "Locating Method" will randomly change between High Performance, Battery Saving, and Device Only. Pokemon Go is not compatible with Battery Saving, so if you get that error message when you know your GPS is enabled, go to Location settings and switch the Locating Method to either High Performance or Device Only. (Quickest way to do that is to press & hold on the GPS icon in the notification shade, which'll take you directly to the setting you need to toggle.)
The problem I'm having is getting that setting to stick. It seems to randomly change its Locating Method throughout the day, and I can't figure out how to force a static setting.
Here's what I've figured out, works 100% of the time:
1. Go to your device administrators and disable Android Device Manager (ADM).
2. Force Close Google Play Services.
3. Re-enable ADM.
4. GPS works now.
This thread is old, but the annoying problem persists.
I have this damn "GPS Signal not found" in Pokemon Go, too since i updated to Android 7.0.
Outside the GPS works fine and a have no problems. Inside buildings i have trouble with this damn bug since Android 7.0.
Sometimes it workes, sometimes not. If the phone is laying flat on the desk, the error comes up. Then i take the phone up and shake it a little bit, then the error goes away. After laying the phone back, the error comes up again.
Stopping google play services, clearing and updating the AGPS data and reassigning the permissions to the app didnt work.
Is there possibly a new useless battery saving feature in Android 7.0 thats checks for the accelometer and stops the gps service if there is no motion ?
I disabled the battery saving feature completly in the settings.
Has someone got successful rid of this damn error ? Or do i need to flash Android 6.0.1 for better gameplay ?
Any updates on this issue?
There seems to be lots of problems with GPS on these devices, and also on devices with similar chipsets (looking at you, MSM8996) all over the Internet.
Zero solutions so far :-/
I am suffering something similar.
I have tried Sygic, Here maps, Google maps and Waze.
Basically GPS location is turning on-off every few seconds (not check mark, But signal is turning on off)
For a while GPS finds location, guides me, Then arrow just stops. After few seconds It finds location again (I will have moved few 100 meters further by then, So display suddenly jerks to new location).
Very annoying.
I am running lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1) on Zenfone selfie ZD551KL.
Have already tried various builds of Lineage along with full format.
S7 on MM SuperMan ROM
So a few days ago my GPS started taking longer to find me, and today it just stopped entirely. Been on the same version of the ROM for probably 6+ months. Google maps, Waze, weather, etc, basically any GPS related app can't find me.
Done all the usual stuff, checked settings, disabled xposed, uninstalled any recently installed apps, wiped cache, no go.
Downloaded that GPS tool app everyone recommended and reset GPS settings etc and it didn't help. The diagnoses page says my sensors are all fine, and it can actually find my coordinates but other apps still can't.
I did a nandroid backup then did a clean wipe, and it works on a fresh ROM so I know it's not hardware. Issue comes back when I restore the backup, so it has to be some kind of software related bug or issue.
I just can't think of what it could be. I'll probably have no choice but to set it all up again from scratch, but any ideas of what it could be would be nice.
Did you try delete cache and dalvik cache in recovery only?

Yep, I'll give it another try now.
I've just did an all setting reset within android settings. Which seems to have just made it worse.
edit: nope, tried cache, davlik and internal storage wipe (but leaving data and system). still broke.

Try Reset App Preferences from Settings > Apps > 3 dots top right menu > Reset app preferences
Also Settings > Apps > 3 Dots > App Permissions > Location, check everything is set to accept location that you want to have location access (Top right 3 dots again > show system)

Already tried the permissions settings to no avail, but doing that seems to have done it. Cheers!

Hi everyone,
Eversince I updated my phone the GPS is not working, Google maps is not giving a location, but when I downloaded GPS toolbox it seems to have a fix. I tried wiping davkik cache but it didn't work.
same issue upgrading from Pie to Q i do a clean install and now works perfect

What do you mean by clean install? Should just download the file and flash it?
Have the same issue, thinking of clean install but 300 apps installed is a lot of work. Looks like the Google location provider is not working (if that's the correct name)
Was having the same issue using HERE WeGo maps but was able to fix it. Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all (###) apps. Click the dots in upper right corner, Show system apps. Scroll down to Location Services, force stop then clear cache and storage for app. Reboot.
Worked perfectly for me after that. Seems it was holding onto old storage/cache data that didn't get wiped even after doing a stock recovery cache wipe. Can't guarantee that'll work for everyone, but worked for me.

It worked, thanks! (well it did not work immediately, then I went in preferences and unticked "Improve Location Accuracy", waited and ticked it again and it worked, not sure if it had any kind of impact)
So, actually it did not work, the location would only work if I toggled on/off "Improve Location Accuracy", so I decided to try again, but this time wiped all the system apps that contained "location"in their names, will keep you posted

Any news? I have the same problem. Maps and Life360 do not show position. Every other app using GPS work fine. I would like to wipe cache and dalvik but in TWRP, when trying this Function, I receive AN error so it is not possible.
700€ of smartphone and GPS do not work... :crying:

Can you suggest me a technique for backup and restore for a fastest wipe data?
Hey lads, I know I'm late to the party but I seem to have found something that fixed my Life360 issues.
1. Go to settings => Apps & Notifications and tap "see all apps"
2. Tap the 3 dots in the corner and tap "Show system"
Find "LocationServices" in the list, force stop, clear cache, clear data
4. Go back and find Life360 in the list, open the "advanced" drop-down menu, go to "battery optimization" and select "don't optimize" (this step may not be necessary)
5. Tap "storage and cache", and clear both the cache and storage
6. Reboot
7. Test to see if Life360 can see your location now
I know I'm I bit late and a lot of people wiped their phones to fix this, so I hope this info can help someone in the future!
I think I managed to find a workaround which doesn't involve a factory reset for the same issue on my OnePlus 6T:
Settings -> System -> Reset options -> Reset app preferences (this doesn't affect apps data)
Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all XXX apps -> (3 dots in the upper right corner) -> Show system -> Clear storage and cache of the following apps:
Google Maps
Google Play services
Google Services Framework
LocationServices
Phone Services
Fused Location
Google Location History
OPMmsLocation
I wiped Dalvik cache in TWRP.
I'm not sure all steps are necessary but resetting apps preferences is the key one I think. It's going to reset the permissions of all apps but it's a good alternative to reinstall everything from scratch. The issue of the GPS fix in Google Maps hasn't come back for me since.

So I had been having the same issues on 6T, then 7. Did this yesterday but haven't yet been able to test it fully although I feel this may have resolved the issue considering the speed at which the GPS / Compass is connecting on Maps. Once I travel today it will just confirm that theory. If it fixes the issue, lots of prayers and wishes your way sir!
PS. Did you ever face the issue again after the fix?

Adding here, I had already tried dumping the cache, storage and Dalvik prior to this which didn't resolve the issue.. Only temporarily. That makes me believe if this is the solution, the most important step being "Reset app preferences" and it does make sense too because Android 9 vs 10, permissions was one of the big changes brought in.

Ok, this solution is legit. Seems to be working seamlessly so far. Haven't experienced this consistency with Maps ever since A10. Thank you!!
Just like it says. I am having a issues with some apps not saving after I set them. It happens when I shut the app down or reboot and I find that the phone is not doing what I set for the app. I open the app to check the settings and it has all been erased like new. If I keep the app open it runs all the settings correctly and saves them but as soon as I close the app or reboot it some of those apps default like it is a brand new app. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Man I hope someone can help us out with a lil insight. Thanks for the reply. I thought I might have screwed up a few things while setting up this new phone. I am on the latest build stable.
is it the permissions being cleared because its being "Paused". under the app's app info page there is a toggle Unused app settings--> Pause app activity if unused. make sure this is off.

No that doesn't appear to be that either. I checked all the apps that seem to be having this problem. Unfortunately that isn't it either. Thank you for the suggestion! IDK if a reflash without wiping would help?
I have never seen this or experienced it. Have you done "something" different? Tried to root, or install a ROM, or...???? If it keeps happening EVEN to native/default/system apps then I would recommend a factory reset with a low level cache wipe...if it can be done on this phone.

I would go for the reflash, and in the end, go for a clean flash.
I didn't experience this problem, but I did have an issue where every time I set a conversation as a priority, the second I left that screen, it reset back to default. I don't have the issue now, but I've also reflashed since then.
I have fixed it by wiping the affected apps data and then uninstalling them and readding the settings. Thanks guys!
