Anyone notice that GPS is a load of rubbish on lolipop
I have an s4 active and the wife has a normal s4.
I originally used cm12 rom on my s4 active and noticed GPS lock was slow and unreliable in apps takes over 600 seconds to get GPS fix so thought I'd try the latest official lolipop rom for the s4 active when it came out giving me the opportunity to upgrade the modem. As I was on the original modem from version 4.2 official
But still GPS fix is shocking so its not the modem or the fact I was using cm12 nightlies
And the fact my wife's s4 official 5.0.1 has the same issue makes me think it's lolipop anyone else notice this or do devices GPS sensor wear out over time as the devices are both over two years old now I know they have radio active material in the sensor does this get weaker over time.
All I know is I could go running and get GPS fix on my device in 50 seconds and it would keep GPS the whole run now it takes GPS over 600 seconds and if it looses it it never regains it.
