Hello there, I'm using Nitro A311. I'm facing problem in using gps. My device is detecting satellites in range but It is not getting lock/fix with satellites to get accurate location. Also I'm unable to use gps navigstion. I have tried stock roms, custom roms , but problem didn't solved.
Please someone provide a solution.

Hey Guys I have 27 satellites and my phone can't lock on to any of them.
I am rooted on the stock ROM. Can anyone give me any pointers?
Are you inside a building or house. Gps doesnt always lock when in a building. Could also be that your rooted. Are you using a rom other than stock. Sometimes these roms have issues working with wifi, gps and other hardware.

I am in a building, but it is weird how it says 27 sats but I can't lock.. seems like software issue. I am on the stock ROM.
Myself and others have had this issue. Try the following: when in the GPS related ap, pull down the notification bar and cycle the GPS off and on. With mine (and others) GPS will lock almost instantly after returning to the ap.
/found in another thread that this appears to be software related. I can confirm this as I had the problem until I uninstalled GPS Test. Check any ap you've installed related to the GPS and see if the error is resolved.
So it turns out mine works great outside my job and doesn't work at all inside my job... I never had that issue on my old phones.. but w.e... This thread can be deleted.
Thanks guys,
Hey everybode
first of all, i did read all of these hundreds of threads concerning gps problems for a week. I could not figure out how to solve this problem.
Basically, my GPS doesnt work properly
GPS inside: no lock at all, usually 2 satellites, sometimes more
GPS outside: lock after few minutes, but got around 7-8 sats
Ok so i downloaded several tools, one of them was [root] GPS Control SiRF StarIV. This program says that my gps driver is unknown, and now i think it might me the problem.
where does this gps driver relate to? kernel? i tried several kernels, no solution.
Thanks for your help

Hey guys, ever since flashing a custom ROM onto my Verizon GS4, I've had issue with getting my phone's location. Given the location options on 4.4.3, the phone is able to get a rough location on the High Accuracy setting but can't do anything under Device Alone. As such, I'm pretty sure it's the GPS having issues. Others have had compass problems with the ROM I'm currently on, but everyone seems to be able to get a GPS lock when I can't. I've done a dirty flash, a clean flash, and even redownloaded the .zips from other locations in case the file was bad, but nothing has solved my problem. I use my phone's location settings for a variety of apps, so I'd really like to get it working again. Does anyone know of diagnostics I could perform? My hope is that it's just a software issue, and that I didn't do any permanent damage to the hardware. Thanks for the help!

Try faster fix in the play store. I've used it with several roms on several phones and it is very good

I looked up the fix you're talking about. Others seem to have had success through the gps status apps available on the playstore. Unfortunately, they didn't have any effect on my phone. I'm still stuck at searching for GPS on any app that uses it. Those who had success seem to have had it with a ROM that originally worked, but lost the ability to successfully connect. My issue seems to be in the ROM itself, or at least that's what makes sense to me. Thanks for the advice and trying to help.

Did you try the faster fix app yet?

I have tried faster GPS (running 4.4.4, so faster fix is a no-no) with no success. It replaces the file detailing GPS information and the like, but I'm still stuck searching for GPS permanently.

Hello,
I get a GPS fix within 10 seconds. But with Maps, however, the signal jumps back and forth. Also, the signal does not show exactly the location, or a few meters away. These problems are probably also known to the UMI users. Somehow I have read what of MTK tools, where this problem can be fixed. Can someone post a tutorial, or link?
Thx.
Hi, looking forward to fix the same issue... Any news?

Gday mate,
I was having similar issues with my GPS jumping to the street next to me whilst driving and getting itself all turned around. The other issue I had was bluetooth would not connecting to my car, so I tried a few things on this list: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/fix-nougat-bluetooth-issues/
Specifically what seemed to fix my bluetooth AND GPS was this: (I also set the passcode on the car to '0000')
"This is a really good fix, confirmed to work by many people. To reset your Bluetooth settings, fire up the Settings app, and locate and tap on Backup & reset option. Now, touch ‘Network settings reset’, and then ‘Reset settings’. Confirm this on next screen. Note: This will reset all your settings related to WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data. Keep that in mind. If you need WiFi urgently, then better do this later on."
The above made my GPS a bit more stable. Since then I have updated the device to the latest beta: PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB and GPS is working perfect now. Link from bencebacsi on UMi Forum: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hh1069alx7v8i6i/PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB.rar
Best of luck mate!

It's not usable for this problem.
I tested Faster GPS after rooted, MTK tools, Engineering Mode, and another more tools and tricks, and nothing helped me with better gps signal on my UMI plus.
In enginneering mode I deleted data from hot, cold, warm and full gps start without A-GPS started, A set position from detected position, download new satellites positions, then start A-GPS and it was same how before. GPS signal on Mediatek chipset is bad.
Sometimes I have fixed 12 satellites, another time zero satellites. Gps signal jumping from zero to good in the car, or outdoor.
Hello world,
I have the A52 5G in Belgium. Have all the updates installed, seems that my GPS is not fixing anymore so Waze and Maps can't work.
I downloaded an app to test the GPS, but the same problem appear, an issue with gps fixing.
Does anyone have already experienced that issue?
Thanks
What you mean by "fixing"?
Send some screen shots or screen recording.
No fix means it has not received enough satellites or a good enough reception to get a fix and establish location
