Hello, I have a Redmi 5 plus (Note 5). GPS seems to be OK with Google maps and other apps, but it is unusable with my favourite navigation app: Sygic.
The navigation is continuously paused showing a message: searching position.
I have checked that the Sygic app has its permissions OK to use location services.
Anyone is experiencing similar issues?

yup i think there is an issue with GPS on software side, I keep getting constant message in instagram searching for gps.. or sometime in idle system mode searching for gps. But in Maps it works fine. I think this issue started when i updated my phone. would love to see some who has not updated the phone to the latest 1.4gb update.
I have exactly the same problem!
GPS works fine with everything except Sygic.
I made a few contacts with sygic support, but until now, nothing was updated.
Same problem with Mi5
Hey guys,
I have the same problems with the GPS signal.
Does anyone have a solution meanwhile?
thanks in advance

try running the gps status app from the market that should get you a lock
on location go outside if you can and run it. you shouldnt have any gps issues
with v27
So I downloaded GPS status- a compass comes up and gives information but I don't see any GPS data- just compass data?
When I use google maps it can not determine my location and for weather it can't determine my location... not really sure what is going on
I just noticed that there is a status wheel that spins below the compass I think that is where the GPS data would show up but nothing is shown...
I just upgraded to ginger tazz today- perhaps I didn't "wipe" something or install it correctly- could that be it? It always worked before.

Just wanted to report that although the new Copilot updates no longer work with the nook color (imei issues), the Sygic Navigation app (formerly Sygic Aura) now works as it no longer requires internal GPS. I used it on my Nexus S before I took the phone back and then asked them to switch devices. I now have it running on the Nook Color using the Beta 3.1 with the .32 overclocked kernel. The device code used for Sygic is generated from the sd card being used. I also still use the older Copilot apk that doesn't require imei. Copilot works well too and probably better with more up to date maps. And $5 is a better price than what Sygic Navigation costs.
Can u describe exactly how u made Aura run on your NOOK?
With version 3 I didnt have any luck.I installed app from market, I downloaded maps, but when it starts, it gets me back to homescreen.

You need to use an external GPS, enable bluetooth, and also download GPS bluetooth provider free from the market. Turn on your GPS device, enable bluetooth on the Nook Color, and then start the GPS bluetooth provider app, and finally launch Sygic Navigation. It should open now.
I'm using Bluetooth GPS and an external GPS. I also bought and loaded Sygic but, when I start Sygic, the screen goes black, you can see the arrow in the bottom tray then the app closes and returns to main screen without any explanation.
Running CM7.0.2 from sdcard. Wondering what might be the difference in that yours is working?

Is bluetooth enabled? Did you start bluetooth gps? Did you get a satellite fix? Differences between your setup and mine: I'm not running off sd card, running 3.1 beta with the .32 oc kernel. It is my guess that running CM7 off the sd card is causing the problem.

Was looking through some other threads - many additional offline map apps are discussed here. Downloaded Mapdroyd - seems to work CM7. Bought Navdroyd ($7.20) which also has navigation via GPS. Downloading maps now so I'll let you know. BTW - both of these work offline.

Question - I've got Sygic loaded and it FC with the older version. Opened it after reading your post (thanks) and it worked - asked for email pw etc. Then it asked for product code - ?? I think this one was bought ( might have been free - don't remember) but it came through the Android market and as such does not come with a product number ( looks like a registration number). Is this number located somewhere in a file folder?
Thanks for any help.

Hi guys,
Well... I have installed recently CM7 6.5 and Kernel 18.1. I changed the kernel version (to v18) because of the big battery drain and i can't use Maps and Navigator!
I don't remember if i tried it with Kernel 18.1, but when i open these apps, they keep loading, and loading, and screen's light turns off and nothing... they don't run!
I have tested other apps, and they run normally, the trouble is in these two apps...
=\
Someone have a solution?
Obs.: I have installed street view too and i don't use 3G.
Thanks!
Nobody knows about it?
Please, someone! Help me!

I reflashed maps application and for my surprise, the app run normally, without any problem... maps and navigator.
Well... i closed the app and when i tried it again, a problem appeared. I can see only the last map charged... if i search for any adress, it keeps charging, and charging, and the new map doesn't appear. In the navigator, the app can't find my location...
What curious case! Anybody knows what i can do to fix it?
Thanks!
Obs.: I can reflash maps several times and it works until i closed it, after sometime running the app.

You need a WORKING DATA connection, period. You can prefetch some 10 "maps" (IIRC 10 miles diameter) in latest versions to avoid that.

It seems, GPS driver sure, that altitude MINUS 150 meters is wrong and do not return position to OS. But actualy altitude of Dead Sea ~ -400
Now I can't check this issue now
1. I'm on GB now.
2. Point, where GPS lost is about 80km from my home and I've no plans to visit it in near future.
But It already checked 2 times.

same here - more info
Having the same issues: below -168M, no GPS fix.
More info:
-Aside this issue, no other issues with the GPS – the GPS function perfectly, locks quickly etc (above -168M)
-Below -168M, the GPS continue to have good satellites viability (at least 5-9 are fully ‘green’), yet the data (location, altitude, etc are frozen).
-The above occurs with all GPS application i tried (several status / navigation apps).
-using other phones GPS (e.g. some Alcatel with 2.3.4) at the exact same locations, their GPS is o.k.
-upgrading from Android 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 did not solve the issue (both cyanogen)
-I tried the "[root] GPS Control SiRF StarIV" app – did not solve the issue
- Planning to try "GPS Aids" app - not sure exactly what it does/will it help...

Didn't try to modify the gps.conf file.
Quick search on the web, seems like most suggestions to modify the file are related to improving the performance (faster gps lock) -not resolving complete lack of locking.
Do you have a specific recommendation/idea what to change in gps.conf file for this specific problem we have? if so, can you please explain
why?
(note that here is no lock performance issue here. its simply completely stop showing position below certain height)
Well, its worth a shot? But before you do, are you using the internal gps or the bluetooth gps? If your using one, try switching to the other?

I tested a GB ROM 2.3.6. It did not loose lock if coming from a high place, bit when I was already at the dead sea and opened GPS Test, it did not lock again even with 12 satellites in view and with good signal. I believe it is the GPS chip Firmware that causing the problem, so there is no fix for it.

Google Maps has location tracking data under "My Timeline." Historically it has been super accurate, showing the roads I used even when driving long distances. I also always use Google Maps. Ever since I switched to the Mate 10 Pro, this data has been straight lines across 20-40 miles of distance and highly inaccurate arrival times. I thought it was just Google, but I switched back to an Essential Phone and it became perfectly accurate again. I'm back to the Mate 10 Pro and I hope it'll work now, but I'm not holding my breath.
I often use the departure and arrival times in My Timeline for work data, so I'd love if it worked. Any thoughts?

I have not, but I use Google Maps extensively and never had even the smallest problem with accuracy. Always follows the road accurately and instantly recognizes turns (unlike the built in GPS in my Lexus sometimes). The "My Timeline" data is often just a straight line between my house and my destination, even if it's across a bridge.

That's unfortunate. Will do.
Same here, whatever i tried didn't solve it (even clean cache and data).... Even tried disabling battery optimization settings on Maps and Google Services... Nothing. I also have indications that is has something to do with multiple google accounts (i find some locations being reported in some of my other accounts). Are you on a single account? But yes, same problems, straight lines, lost stops, no routes, getting stuck in one location for hours etc...
im only on one account. is there a bigger huawei users forum than this one and the huawei subreddit?

I checked TimeLine today and since 27/01/2018, journeys are recorded with the correct level of detail again! Google Maps app last updated 04/01/2018 and I'm still on C432. No idea what changed to start TimeLine working again properly but obviously I'm really happy. Can anyone else report that journeys are being correctly recorded again?
Nope no change.
I've got the same issue. I tried all of the tips and tricks I found online to no avail. Mine just says No Visited Places. ONce is awhile it does show a place. It pisses me off tremendously. Google Timeline is a great tool to remember where you've been
If you can't remember where you've been then you have bigger problems than Google Maps not working properly!
Personally, I try to turn everything OFF that records location(s).
