I have GPS issues TERRIBLY.

Sometimes my GPS works amazing, directly on point, timing perfect, never off.

Other times a whole trip and Goggle maps can't find me.

Have tried every kernel, ROM, fully wiping, through TWRP, fastboot, going back to stock, every beta from OP,

Not sure what else I can try besides sending it back to them.

yes i have the same
sometimes a reboot fix it
sometimes not
sometimes even the positon of the smartphone in my car changes the gps reception
i had the same issue at my op3, where disabling LTE solved it, but seems to not work in OP5

I was fine with GPS on OxygenOS, even when rooted but after switching to Resurrection Remix on Oreo 8.1 I now have the same issue, where my GPS is really intermittent. Both Google Maps and Waze can't find my GPS when i load them and after a while they start freaking out and eventually find my GPS after around 5-10 mins.

They want me to send it back, but I don't have another phone, and can't shell out money for another one, If I could do that I would be done with OP, their customer service has been ABYSMAL through any problem I had. I have told anyone talking about getting this phone, or the op5t or 6, that it is worth it to pay slightly more for an actual place to take your phone back if it is defective.

They originally wanted to tunnel into my computer, and blank out the screen to work on it from wherever they're tech guys work from. I couldn't believe it.

I'm having the same issue. I received this phone as an Assurant replacement to a 3t. Got the phone mid-March and the GPS has never worked.
