After chatting with two GTR2e owners, it seems that the support to Galileo, Beidou and QZSS navigation satellite systems (other than the default GPS+GLONASS combo) has not been made available for this watch. That's very strange because GTR 2 owners (not the E version) claim they have this feature available since a firmware update that came out in June 2021. Can anyone confirm that?
I'd like to buy a GTR2e for its longer battery life, but I'd rather prefer to have the accuracy of the Galileo system for some hiking around Europe.
You are luck!
I've been not able to use the GPS feature after the latest update 4.6.1.1 .
I've tried to factory reset several times but it just won't find the satellites !

That's a very bad news! Did you try connecting it first to your smartphone (with internet connection on) in order to update the A-gps data?

guys, i can't let the gps using satellite in my optimus one to work...
always says "Waiting for location" .... like using the carhome or the navigation bundled applications pre-installed...
any fix please?
You have to wait for a lock. That's normal.
Also, Try waiting for a lock outdoors. GPS signals aren't as strong as the ones used in SMS and stuff.
@ kp
ive tried waiting for quite a long time but nothing happened...tried also outdoor but the same...
ive tried using GPS Test application to located GPS Satellites, and indeed it can locate some with low to average signals...but when i am going to use the pre-installed applications for tracking my location, it still can't.
ive searched the net and someone also is having the same problem using LG Optimus One as well.... >.<
Depending on your firmware this might be a bug. There were GPS problemes reported with certain firmwares. But you have to be patient too, because sometimes it takes a while until 2 or more satellites are found and locked.
You can try using free app like "Ulysse Gizmos" on monitoring gps, especially on lockon status.
& also try this tips to access the internal gps test menu @ link: goo.gl/ZFs6D
Our LG Optimus One P500 code is 3845#*500#
Do let us know how it goes.
Good luck!
I use the P500 whitout a data connection. So does have a sense set the gps in A-GPS or if i have the data not active i have to set it in a GPS Standalone?
restart phone and try again
are u using da stock rom?
@Hesediel
If you don't have data conection you cann't receive any maps, but it's no problem to use a-GPS. But without data you will simply have the geo-data, no maps. So that seems to make no sense.

Yes but i would like to buy an offline navigator like sygic, copilot, ndrive, something like that not the google maps/navigatopr for now, so it's better i use gps as standalone or is the same setting it as a-gps ms based?
it's a known problem.
I've got a p500 without data connection (I'm using wi-fi only).
The first week after flashing my phone the gps works fine.
Then afer a week the gps fix begins to be sloooow.
After a month it is very slow.
So I have to do an hard reset to turn the gps works well again.
Any utility (like gps status) that try to reset the gsp... fail.
The only known solution... is a ... sadly... hard reset.
I hope the someone will be able to write an application to do the same thing like the gps hard reset.
Use fasterfix, you can find this in android market.just search for "fasterfix"
Requires root, busybox and data connection during the initial GPS lock time.
Your gps will get a fix within seconds.

I have a problem with custom rom ( openoptimus) and gps.It takes to much time to lock to gps and sometimes i have to reset the phone in order to work...I have download the faster fix but it hasnet work

Well, i have the same problem and used the same solution. But now I just wait. Sometimes I "cold start" gps with GPS Status or even the "hidden" gps test menu and after waiting a little or a lot (30s or 10min) I get GPS fix. Anyway, restarting the phone seems to work well too.
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.
Hi !
I've got an amazfit chinese version with pacefield and since a few days i can't launch run activity. I've got this message :
"AGPS has expired, gps searching will be slow Please connect the Amazfit watch app to update it"
I've also tried many times to sync my watch with amazfit but nothing happen.
Seems to be same issue here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...acefied-amazfit-huami-xiaomi-amazfit-t3581833
I found this :
65. What is the auxiliary satellite search (AGPS)?
AGPS is a kind of GPS satellite orbit information data, can help watch faster GPS positioning. While keeping the watch connected to the phone’s Bluetooth, the watch will take the initiative to synchronize with the AMAZFIT watch app and update the AGPS data regularly each day . If the watch does not sync data from the AMAZFIT watch App for 7 consecutive days , the AGPS data will expire. Positioning speed may be affected after expiration, when the watch will remind you to update when you start exercise.

Maybe their server are down
Hello, I got the same agps massage yesterday and I tried to downgrade the Amazfit app to the version of December the 29.
For the first it was no difference but today morning it updates the agps. I'm on stockfied 1.3.5
I have the same issue with PACEfied 1.2.48h and Paceficator 1.2.49k Rom v3.8 as well. Tried Amazfit App 2.2 and 2.1.1 but no new AGPS data.
Is it possible to update this manually?

Nope. Unfortunately you can't update it yourself Thomas
add me to the list
My Amazfit work without AGPs data, but connection is slower.
Seems to be fixed today morning without updating ROM or app. Maybe Huami server had problems last days.
I ve the same problem and no solution
Add me to the list
No matter how I waited for the GPS to search is always not available .Even I tried open area
GPS not availble
Me too
Hi,
my phone has problems to find a good GPS signal, since the last Update.
9.0.0.215(C432E4R1P11) ist the installed version.
I have tried already to find a fix, but no one reported the same error yet.
I watched via GPS Test what happens. The phone find's up to 9 satellites with a good signal, what should be enough to get the location. but then its resets all connections and start to search it again.
Does anyone has a Idea to fix this, without a reset or a visit at a service center?
Thanks in advance.
Some users have reported the same problem, Huawei will fix it in the next update.
Hello! a quick fix until they update the system is to turn your phone horizontally when on google map using your GPS. I've been experimenting and so far it worked for me, hope it works for you too.
Hi everyone!
I was using my Poco F1 for a year now. After doing root, install MIUI eu until version 10.3.4, where everything was OK. When updating to 10.3.5, notice after a while that the GPS was not working properly. Sometimes it took too long to take the signal from the satellites, other times I immediately took the signal from the place where I am. The funny thing is that when I move, the GPS signal is almost immediately lost, so it is impossible to use Google Maps in that mode.
- I already tried Waze and the same thing happens
- Try installing 3rd. apps for correct GPS, with almost no result
- the phone has the same old case and has not received any blows
- Updated to MIUI eu 10.3.5 - 10.3.6 - 10.3.7 and the same thing continues
- installed the latest version of Lineage OS and give the same error
- Flash to Stock ROM and the same thing continues ...
what do you think? Will it be hardware failure? I'm about to open and check the antennas but I think it's very strange, since I don't remember hitting it or wetting it...
That looks like hw failure to me. I'd have it checked by service center or local repair shop.
In my case, ever since I updated to MIUI 10.3.5 the gps won't recognize my location correctly, takes longer time to locate. Shows 30-40 meters away from my exact location. Same thing on pixel experience rom. I tried calibrating compass with no success.
Not just Google maps, other apps like Uber and Food delivery apps has same problem.
I would test the reception first. To do this download a program like GPS test from the playstore. Think it is from chartcross or something.
Go outside in an open space and check the SNR values. Normally the values are like between 35 and 40 or some even a bit higher. Also check how many sats it sees and can get a lock on.
Report that first if you can.
if miui's persist file has been updated altered from miui10.3.5 onwards
then redownloading FASTBOOT ROM of miui10.3.4 and unziping then unziping and flashing persist.img in /persist partition will put you back on older persist.img file!
worth trying! but becareful!
persist.img can be flashed using recovery only!
seems to be a very frecuent Hardware failure, it happensa to me exactly the same, sadly I use the gps very much so I had to buy another phone (Mi9 t) lots of folks seem to have the same problem, maybe Pocoafter all made too many sacrifices in order to pack the sd 845 with such a low price, now I´m using the mi9t and the screen is from another world next to poco, also the audio is at least 10x times better, and on my country didn´t have 4g support on poco....now, I´m just waiting for android q to be relized on poco so can use it with desktop mode, but the experience in general with poco was pretty bad
Solved!
Well, it seems that I discovered the error. I was testing the app "GPS test" and note that sometimes it took satellites and sometimes not. I cleared the cache from TWRP and it improved only for a while .... I was missing just doing a downgrade of Miui, before checking the antennas.
What was the real cause? Not long ago I changed from a telephone company to a "virtual" company (outsource the infrastructure) because it was cheaper. The problem arises I think because Constantly performs Roaming. That's all. I placed a SIM with another company (not virtual) and the GPS worked automatically as before ...
My Gosh....you are right....I removed the Sim as it is now on my new phone, and been testing the gps for about an hour and it hasn't lost signal....I didn't change my phone company, so can't understand why it happended, maybe they changed something internally....but yeah....with out sim it's working just fine, I guess changing something on the config may do the trick too

That is precisely the odd thing ... I already tried lots of different configurations, cache cleaning, GPS reset, GPS fix, third-party applications, changing the A-GPS ports and NOTHING really worked for me ...
Until I changed the telephone company.
I don't know how this works to infer so much in GPS operation, but there it is.
