Hi is anyone having problem with gps sensitivity...i downloaded gps test app from playstore...i open the app and the gps is functioning with an accuracy of not less than 20 feet with a good gps signal..however the coordinates(the latitude and longitude,three last digits) seems to be the problem...my s6 was able to fix the coordinates when i open the application intially before starting to drive...but after making a short movement and halting..the coordinates become unstable and doest fix to a stable coordinate...my previous s4 however is able to do so..after multiple movements, the s4 gps was able to fix the coordinates..the s6 however fails to fix the coordinates precisely(the three last digits of longi/latitude are unstable), is this a common problem faced by S6 users or am i facing a hardware/software problem...can anyone try downloading the app and share your experience..thanks..
Greetings,
Before updating my device to Android 6, I used SmartLock so my phone would unlock automatically when I arrived at home.
After updating, SmartLock doesn't work anymore because of the GPS location, it doesn't have the accuracy needed for it. Whenever I open Maps, for instance, I need to wait for GPS get my accurate position, but if I close and then reopen it I need to do this again. I have high precision setted on my location settings.
Does anyone have experienced this?
Anyone has a clue about how to fix it?

degraded GPS with Android 6.0
Been using Speedview long term to track speed with my Nexus 5. Upgraded to 6.0 and I've discovered app no longer works. Opens with notice waiting for GPS fix. Tried another similar app, Speedometer GPS and I get the same error. Satellite locks come and then go but never stable enough to display speed as designed.
I've also been experiencing slower GPS fixes with MRA58K.

I have the same problem.. Installed Android 6 and have no GPS signal anymore..

Running latest Cataclysm now, with LMY48M bootloader/radio.
Not that I expect this will solve this issue with GPS slowness. Anyways, can't hurt to try.
thought I'm alone in this matter. sigh.
There is an issue tracker for this, you may want to star or contribute.

Hi, question before buying-
early reports and reviews says that Mate 9 is having some GPS issues. In reviews there were early, pre-selling devices, so theres question now when Mate can be find in shop.
Can You - owners tell how GPS is working? Im using smartphone as a daily navi in car, so this have to be perfect.
Just back from a 60 km car ride, navigating with Google maps. All good, gps works like a charm.
Als walked 10 kms through the woods today using Geotracker. Also spot on, followed the paths I walked really good.
Thanks for reply. So there are no problems like loosing satelites or slow fix?
I used it already several times, gps is fast and no problems (yet). MHA-L29
I've not had any problems with GPS either
Gps working fine with all apps, no problems at all.
Some reviewers say the phone does not support glonass. Can anyone on the latest firmware confirm that?
i have noticed some issue with gps on iski tracker app.
You can sow this on attached screenshot.

I use Waze every single day to commute, that's 2 hours per day. Zero problems.

I use GPS professionally
The Mate 9 is extremely quick at capturing satellites - probably the fastest phone yet.
It is also ready to use the new Galileo GNSS.

Totally agree.
p.s. Mate 9 captures Glonass satellites too. Problem (in some reviews) is in using apps, which are not working with GNSS standart. They are working with NMEA, but our Mate 9 does not report Glonass data in that standart.
So if GPS on Mate 9 is so great please tell me what is going on with my phone.

The Galileo and glonass are working, use updated gps test software like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest .
I get 2 Galileo satelites (Romania), 0 problems in waze.
Sure, working, but on my phone tracks looks like EKG.
If the GPS Test says it's OK then your phone is OK.
Have you tried different plotting apps?

I have tried two apps - iSki Tracker and Osmand and both with the same problem.
Have you seen the note about apps in post #11?
Try Geo Tracker

I use another app called SportyPal for cycling and have exact same problem as you. I set location settings on Mate9 to GPS device only and some days there are no jumps in track position and other days I have jumps on same track. Happens maybe 40% of time. Yesterday for example the track I cycled around a built up city environment recorded 29km traveled whereas normally the distance is about 20km. This makes the device pretty useless for tracking location and speed performance in a fitness app. Previously I used a Samsung Note2 for using same app and never had an issue of 4 years of use on same route.
@palatkik
My phone before mate 9 was also note 2 and I had no issue too. No I'm confused because of useless my new phone.
