No. No it is not. If you're having such a hard time with things loading though, I'd suggest downloading your local map for offline use using Google Maps.

Niantic uses Google Maps to render both Ingress and Pokemon Go.
Also try disabling AR, I find it pretty pointless myself so I keep it off regardless.
I should say it's very network sensitive as you have to maintain an active connection or else you get hung up. I noticed several times that if you lose connection, you get no supplies at pokestops and no pokemon spawns. While someone standing next to me sees 2-3 Pokemon, I don't see anything.

Google Maps offline helps speed up rendering of map but doesn't help locate Pokemon if connection is weak.

I also noticed that my character freezes a lot when network is potty. I have switched to my Note 4 as the Pokemon hunting device. OnePlus 3 will only work for me in a WIFI zone like in malls.

Received my Oneplus 3 this week, so far today had some real problems especially with Pokemon Go. Disconnecting form the internet and also turning mobile data off completely for no reason!

Running Smoothly

I've been playing with Pokemon Go for a week now and find the OnePlus 3 not very good with Pokemon Go.

Running latest Oxygen OS 3.2.1

The game itself is already buggy and laggy depending on your connection but on the OnePlus 3 it seems more unstable than other phones I have on Tmobile.

I can't blame Tmobile since I've compared Pokemon Go running on other phones using the same service or sim card the OnePlus 3 is the least stable.

My wife uses S6 and it too has issues but not as bad as OnePlus 3. Doesn't freeze or lockup as much.

One the Samsung Note 4 running Kitkat, it seems to work the best. Freezes less often more Pokemon spawns.

I also have a LG G3 running Lollipop also on par with the Note 4 gets less freezes also.

My guess is the OnePlus 3 GPS & radio reception is inferior to plastic Android phones.

One strange thing is that I had the Note 4 tethered to the OnePlus 3 and it seemed to get more Pokemon spawns. Which sort of validates my theory that the Note 4 GPS is superior to the OnePlus 3.

What do you guys think?
Pokemon Go runs buttery smooth on my Oneplus 3 device running latest OxygenOS 3.2.4 and the GPS is amazing! Just that playing the game drains a lot of battery and I mean a lot, But thanksfully DASH charge solves that problem!

This is t he down side of op getting more attention. Complaining about buggy app not working properly on phone is like going up on space with bicycle and complaining that space is buggy because bicycle wont move forward :D

The game (v. 0.35) seems to run just fine, but I'm getting "gps signal not found" popup every 10-20 seconds when I'm outside, with clear view of the sky. The popup shows up for about 1-2 seconds and then reappears after 10-20 seconds.

I'm running Oxygen v. 3.2.4 and wanted to know if that's normal.

Thanks in advance.

Definitely not normal.
Using the same setup, same version, the GPS lock is pretty strong. Even when I'm riding a cab. Walking is a 100% lock always.

I am having the same problem. I am using the same software version as you. So I think it is not hardware just software compatibility.

Happens on my device as well since day 1 with Pokemon. Every version of OOS 3.2.1, 3.2.2 (3.2.4 not sure yet).

Wifes iphone5 is always a couple of seconds ahead of the one plus 3 with GPS as well. Kinda ****ty.

Simple solution, delete this crap from your phone and enjoy OP3! Hitec is not ment for running crap apps (;!

OT end!
