Hi all, not sure if this is maybe just my unit that is having this problem, but whenever I set my default nav to Sygic, Waze or google maps, and I turn the car off and then come back the 3 screens that are supposed to be nav, speed and music, the nav screen is just blank. I need to open the nav app and then it will show there. It happens every time I turn the car off. I've tried to mark those apps as stay on when in sleep but it doesn't help.

Hi,
What would be the best navigation software for walking?
I tried TomTom, but it did not work properly. Sometimes it just turn around and turn around.
Or do I have to change the settings?
Thanks

Hey.
Instant GPS Lock, Maps show wrong location, Navigation takes 10mins to find GPS??
So my GPS connects instantly using GPS Test APP. But on Maps it shows me as wrong location so I cannot use that to navigate.
Navigation on the other hand, GPS works perfectly, but it takes 10mins for the navigation to start and it to find GPS.
Is it because Navigation is trying to download maps, and my data connection being slow?
I am on stock no custom rom.
Please let me know how to fix this.
Thanks.
Green bars don't mean you're locked in on this phone. You get a lock when you have an Accuracy reading or a green circle with GPS Test app. In GPS Status app, it's the Lat/Long/Altitude/Last Fix ect...when locked. You probably have bad GPS. Mine connects in around 2-3 minutes.
My GPS connects in like 10 seconds max. Maybe you have a bad GPS.
Is there a recommended app for calibration or testing?
Hi, I just got my Sony Smartwatch 3 yesterday and today I was planning on taking it for a run without my phone. But once I disconnect it from my phone the Endomondo app on the watch just waits for a GPS signal.
Do I need to turn on the GPS on my watch manually? If so, how?
You need to download Google's My Tracks app and it will sync to your phone. Once you do just go down to my tracks and select run, and once it locks you'll see that location icon in the top left corner of watch showing that it has GPS lock. Then all you do is run. Have fun!
Hello,
So use the Spotify in the phone, and then I have this Bluetooth receiver connected to the car radio.
When I put the phone to charge, a little after the phone locks the screen, the sound dims, and then returns back to normal (the second after). in between this, there is half circle showing on the lower part of phone.
I have tried to remove the APP from "battery saving app" (Menu>battery> app power saving [details] > Spotify - NEVER) and still the same. Also I've turned off the "App power saving", and nothing has changed.
The only time, the music is not dimmed, is when I am using google maps and getting direction, as the screen is always on.
Please let me know if you have a similar problem.
thanks
I'm having an issue where it takes fund minutes to lock location on the phone. The problem is most noticeable on Waze. I turn Waze on every time I get in the car (the speed traps alone are worth it), and sometimes it's half my trip before it locks on.
The location is set to high accuracy, and it does eventually lock on. My 6p would lock on in one second.
Anyone else? Thanks

I've seen issues in Waze as well, with both GPS lock and the Compas going screwy...
Have you guys tried running gps status or gps toolbox?
What settings do you have selected in location settings?
On my v10 if I enable the additional low power Qualcomm IZat location estimation option, gps runs all screwy.
Id like to know if gps is hit or miss, as its another of the main features I need and use on a daily basis, along with Ok Google..
My Pixel is now locking GPS in a few seconds after I open Waze. Probably even faster than my 6P.
For anyone else having these problems, here are all the steps I did (not sure which if any of these actually solved the problem)
1. Uninstalled Waze. Turned off Location. Rebooted into Safe Mode (Long Press "Power Off")
2. Once in Safe Mode, turn location back on, open Google Maps outside, let GPS lock (that time still took a while) and use navigation for a while
3. Rebooted the phone again into safe mode. reopened Google Maps and let GPS lock on
4. Rebooted the phone normally, open Goolge Maps first to make sure GPS was working. Then installed Waze
It's been working pretty well for the past few days.
I'm still seeing issues with the compass, I get a GPS lock quickly, but it always shows I'm pointing 100-160 degrees off from my actual heading. Tried using GPS status to calibrate, it now says I'm calibrated, but I still see the issue, even in GPS Status.The compass points in one direction, then once I start moving, the GPS corrects the heading to my actual direction...
I've never had this issue with any other phone, very frustrating.
