GPS problems on the Oneplus One

[alnova1]

Is there anyone else experiencing problems with their GPS? It actually started yesterday on the trip to North Carolina to play golf. I couldn't get a lock on the GPS with google maps for GPS status app. I finally did and it would come and go. I used my golf gps app and after 15 seconds it got a lock and worked all day. I needed to use my maps today for navigation and it seemed to be doing fine until I got near my destination lost GPS lock. I did regain it but I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem? It was working fine up until yesterday

Install fastergps and set it for your country/region, it'll lock faster and be more reliable...

Well I have tried everything and I'm still having GPS problems. When I do get a fast lock now it will freeze somewhere during navigation and lose GPS. My golf GPS app will take a but but will do OK once a lock is obtained. I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem.

I use the GPS all day for work so it on/off multiple times, I always set my phones with fastergps so don't know if there was a problem on stock GPS info...
Have you checked it set to use 100% hardware GPS and not part software lock etc..

How's the GPS performance for everyone else on stock?

No GPS issues here... Used Google Maps navigation a fair bit.

Same, works fine here. I can recommend the app "GPS Status", this allows you to quickly see why you lost GPS lock and how near to regaining it is. There are many reasons why you could have lost the lock other than possible hardware defects.

I have the same problem though. Usually takes below 10 secs to lock but sometimes it takes forever to get a lock on. But rebooting solves it...

I am having GPS issues as well. Received my phone over the weekend and attempted GPS for the first time yesterday. I couldn't get it to lock on at all my entire hour long commute. Attempted 2x yesterday and 1x today, still no luck. Also tried Waze just in case it was an issue with the app but no luck. Really frustrating. I looked on the 1+ forum and looks like someone else reported the same issue. Did any of those other recommended apps make the situation better for you?

Try reboot your phone, switch on data connection and High Accuracy location settings. Under open area it should lock under 10 seconds.

I am pretty sure it has something to do with this buggy CM11s.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I did try rebooting previously but I may have been in the parking garage already which is a reason it didn't work.

Oneplus one GPS problem

I am experiencing the same issue. No gps satellite reception at all. I cleared all the caches and rebooted. Data and high accuracy are both enabled. I ran GPS Status and there are no satellites registering with wide open view of the sky. Can we simply swap the GPS files like we all did on the Samsung? This seems more like a hardware issue than buggy locking.

Thanks! Keith

Did you try downloading the A-GPS Data through GPS Status? I get good locking (at least 8 satellites)

I have downloaded every app and tried different settings but still does the same thing. It seems to work fine and then when you get close to a destination it just freezes. I get a lock eventually but it goes away especially on maps. It seems to keep a lock on my golf gps once i get a lock. Getting old having to take an extra phone just for gps,

well, I just sensed some time until it gets the lock. after locking the signal, I've found no problems at all. Ingress, plays just fine
kudos

Oneplus one GPS problem possible clue

OK, I tried the following after every easy fix known. My GPS was never locking. I had no satellite signal what so ever! I pulled the 6 GPS files from the newest CM nightly and over wrote the existing files then rebooted. Cleared the GPS state and cash with no change. I then wiped the device and re-flashed the OPO stable cm11s ROM and started with nothing but GPS Status installed. The GPS worked perfectly. I then reloaded every other previously installed app. Once they were all installed the GPS was again dead. One of my apps is causing a conflict with the location services. I am now installing them one at a time and then testing the GPS. So far I have not identified the culprit. I will post an update when I do. My suspicions lie with one of the root mods like Juice Defender or Greenify.

Stay tuned.... This will take a while.
