Drove over 5000 km through Europe last month using Google Maps and Here Maps. GPS worked very well all the time.

Thanks! Are there any faults on the phone? I'm really making my mind to pull the trigger to get this phone.
GPS is unstable if U r playing Pokemon go game...
I use Waze all the time and the GPS signal is always good and works perfectly fine 100% of the time.
GPS works perfectly on EU Rom.

Hello,
Ive just bought SGS2 and a few hours later I bought Sygic Aura from the market. I downloaded map for my country and... Gps is not able to catch fix. Ive tried with google maps,also very inaccurate reading. I downloaded gps test from the market and 20 meteres accuracy is obtained in a few seconds. What can be a problem?
Does it mean that Aura does not work with SGS2 or Gps does not work properly?
any suggestions?

Either or both.
First step is to lock satellites GPS test.
Followed by let Google maps find position .

Same for me.
Normally I get 8-20m of accuracy
As 8 meters can be acceptable,the biggest problem is that Aura cannot even work. I have tried for 30 minutes to get fix with clear sky without any results.

Even without being very happy with the accuracy of my SGS2 (fluctuating between 8-20m as I told before), I don't have any problem with Aura navigator.

8m accuracy is more or less the best you can get with GPS, please understand that the reported accuracy is an estimated limit of the accuracy, and the position is often better than 8 meter off when accuracy is reported as 8 meter (but you cannot be sure of course). This is simply the limitation of the GPS system.
So an accuracy between 8-20 meter is really good for any GPS receiver.

Yes, but my old HTC Desire had an average of <5 meters all the time.

Hello everybody from Xda,
I'm looking for a new phone for my mother and I am really interested to know what the GPS is like. If the gps is any good I will join the Xiaomi army.
Why am I so interested in this?
Well my mother her navigation system just died and, I would like to install the tom tom app on her phone, I've got it currently on my oneplus one without internet and it's great. My mom will also have no data plan with her phone so google maps or anything isnt an option for her
So my question to you guys is, does anybody of you have had any ecperience with the gps.
Thanks in advance XDA,
Deameong
I am curious about the same thing. I use GPS without any Internet or even phone signal (normally on airplane mode to save battery). And I would like to know how reliable it is.
Attached a Screenshot, few Seconds (about 30) after switching GPS on. GPS receptions is really good, from my point of view.

Just recieved it now,
Using google map and waze, locking on me very fast,
Looks good and stable with great reception of the GPS...
Can you say how much time in seconds need to lock satellites?
Thank You
Thanks alot for the advice guys,
Going to order it tonight!
I've just come back from holiday and I used GPS extensively with the offline Co-pilot app. It worked almost flawlessly both in the car and when cycling. I can't begin to tell you how much better it is than older MTK eqiluipped phones. Lock times varied from four seconds to nearly a minute. One thing I noticed is that it was much faster to lock in Co-pilot when I was connected to the internet. Accuracy was great, though I never went into a big city with lots of high rise buildings.
GPS, Wifi and network signal 2-3 times better than on my Note 4.
GPS is sick, in my room after 2-3 sec.

Hello,
Runkeeper with someone tried, I hesitate to buy the premium just because of that?
(avec Runkeeper quelqu'un a essayé, j'hésite à acheter le Prime juste à cause de ça?)
I really want to know about the gps as well. I use the gps so much. Now I have the lg g3, I would like to know if this one is around the same as g3.
Thanks
D.
Ill give uadvice gps locking depends onyour connection and area,i use gps in city with locking time vary from 10 -80 sec or more the signal was good but for gps signal its not good so it some time locks slower, this is qqualcomm 400 chipset ,newer version of mediatek might performs better and i have ever try gps with airplane mode one using gps test on aa mountain area and it lock 30 sec or less,the signal came out by it self with no connection so everything depend on your area and your xhipset ,newer chipset performs excellent on gps
I'd like to know more about how the GPS in this phone is faring for you because for me it's an endless horror story. Neither Google Maps nor Endomondo give even acceptable locations and tracking.
And the compass is so bad I wanna puke.
The phone is great in almost every other aspect, but GPS is fairly important for me and I'm starting to regret purchasing this phone. May it be fixed with better ROMs or is it a hardware fault?

I used it yesterday for half an hour in inner city traffic. The phone found the GPS signal in a few seconds with data connection, without it takes a minute or two. Navigation itself was worrisome. Went under a bridge and signal was lost for about 2 minutes. Then Google maps always thought I was going inside buildings or streets next to my actual route. Really weird.
Inside my room 2 - 3 seconds lock, the best gps on any of my past smartphones.

And what is that information good for since the moment you open Google Maps, Runtastic or something along those lines it doesn't have any accuracy and keeps jumping the whole time?
I'm sick of people sharing screenshots of GPS Test or GPS Status like they're proof of anything when what's really important is real life apps behavior.
This device GPS should be good..

I don't know what you're on about, but GPS Test uses the same API and sensor as any other app. I'm getting the same 5-7 second fix indoors from GPS Test and HERE Maps. Both don't jump around and show my correct position.

Well we use diagnostic tools to know accurately if something is wrong or not, nothing wrong with that. With GPS Status we can know how many sat signal we got, how strong, what is the margin of error, etc.
And i don't have any problem in real life apps and GPS status confirmed that fact.
If you want positive info or help don't start with a negative.

China ROM GPS problem
But with china stable rom, the map apps is using Baidu, and if your GPS location is not available, the device will report your network location (wifi/3G), which is in simplified chinese to your requesting apps, that sucks, however, I can't deny the hardware GPS here in RN2 is the best I ever used.
I tried GPS in the city. High accuracy, pretty fast lock and it worked just fine, no problems. Accuracy is usually 3-5m, 17 satellites in use on average. I'm not exactly sure what kind of problems you're facing. However, I can tell you this. A friend has Meizu M1 Note, the GPS was at first very good. But somehow at some point after updating, the accuracy's became horrible, 80m+ and it kept losing connection, IF it managed to establish one. It's most likely not faulty HW, but a misconfigured gps config.

I got my international note 4 last week, it had latest Miui on global stable ROM.
I use runkeeper for running but the accuracy is way off.
I have downloaded apps to test GPS and it gets satellite locks quickly. But constant use with runkeeper leads to very inaccurate readings.
My vernee Thor didn't have this issue.
Could Miui be aggressively stopping the GPS? Any ideas?
After a bit more research i think i know why, it could be the battery saver restricting the GPS when the screen is off, so I've turned it off so that there are no restrictions for runkeeper.
Hopefully that will do the trick, will test on my next run ?
Wow, didn't see this thread before a recent post of my own! - yes I know I should have searched etc.
I just got back from a bike ride using a Runtastic app and the results were all over the place... did your solution work out for you?
Thanks.
there's a bug on miui 8 based on nougat that GPS doesn't lock anymore if not completely outside and I can't find a fix!
I am having the same problem after updating to MIUI Global 8.5 (no custom ROM).
Before that it worked perfectly.

MIUI updated to 9.0.3.0, also noticing just this week Nov 2017 problems with GPS location lock.
Pretty sure I didnt experience this problem before this week.
the same on miui pro with china stable 17.11.9 and 17.11.2
so anyways this gps issue has or to be resolved. As a uber driver i am suffering. Shall i get a new phone etc
I find GPS reception quite bad compared to other phones be honest. Whenever I use navigation, the Google Maps and other apps shows am in other road beside the actual road I am in. Happens on any version of MIUI rom, am not sure about custom roms. Will try tomorrow.
When I compare this behavior to my previous phone OnePlus 3, the ratio of wrong location is like 10x higher with F1
Anybody with same issues?
Same issues here with Mi 8 (dipper), the issue persist with either latest Global Stable (Pie) and latest EU's Weekly.

No issue on my Poco f1, I have no such problem. You may try to install gps status & toolbox and see how was it.

Besides, you may read below article:
https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-maps-compass-calibration/
It quoted that:
"If it’s really wide, that generally means your magnometer sensor needs calibrating, and since the magnometer inside the phone is prone to interference from chargers, metal objects, and even other magnometers, it’s worth doing a calibration every now and again to keep it up to speed.
But enough bellyaching — how is it done already? The process is simple, and it’s exactly the same for both iOS and Android users — repeatedly wave your device around in a figure-of-eight motion until your direction narrows down.
Once you’ve completed a couple of these motions, your “flashlight” should have narrowed down, and should accurately respond to your movements better."

Thank you for ideas, however my compass was already calibrated well. The GPS status app works like should and no abnormalities found. But still, when driving a car, still having issues.

Wait. Gps app worked like it should?
You mean it can get your location? Or it still saying searching for GPS location?

This is my issue as said in OP: Whenever I use navigation, the Google Maps and other apps shows am in other road beside the actual road I am in.
My location isnt accurate while driving. No issues with GPS signal at all, but when driving, navigation apps recalculate best route very often as it things I use different road than I actually do.
I get vey good fix and stable, accurate signal with Google maps too (Poco F1 EU region).
I haven't really seen any posts here regarding this but has anyone found any solutions to help with the GPS issues on the Note 10+ 5G?
I've been searching too........why is this even an issue? $1300 flagship phone should have this basic function working!
I have this phone, but what issues are you guys having?
Try using Waze and then get back to us. Everyone is having GPS issues with this phone. Some are worse than others.

No GPS issues here. Google Maps finds my position almost immediately when I tap "My location" button.
Same here

I have an issue with mine as well both Google Maps and Waze are affected. My GPS eventually catches up but it can take as much as 5 min for that to happen.
