Bad Gps And Slow Refresh Rate

[timmert26]

I thought I fixed the GPS issue by changing the battery settings from miui to no battery saving controls, however problems persist!

I seem to have an issue with miui 8. Last 2 weeks i was on holiday on cyprus and had the same issue already in the Netherlands that the GPS takes a very long time to find a location, and has issues keeping it (or refreshing it). When using for instance tomtom the car jumps from spot to spot every 10-15 secs instead of flawlessly moves. When I run the same app, version, cards etc. on my old S5 no issues at all. I've this on most versions. Has anyone got similar issues?

@ingbrzy Any idea what could cause this issue? Another topic with similar issues is https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi4s-gps-problems-no-position-found-in-europe.31486/

Any chance you can look into this? It's mostly getting a GPS fix and than the refresh rate/maintaining the GPS connection.

Installed SuperSu can cause it.. If you have it..

Thanks for the suggestion, I will remove the SuperSU app and see if it works. I'll take a drive tonight to see if it can fix GPS signal and hold it.

I'll let you know if it works!

I have this GPS issue too and SuperSU installed via twrp. What a bother.. Can someone confirm if removing and reflashing works?

Any other suggestions? Seems like a lot of people are having this problem, could you (or someone else) look into this?

Might be a hardware issue then I guess.

Flash the latest rom again and it will ask you if you want to install SUPERSU, press yes, than update from google playstore and run the GPS fix app. Wait outside till you get a lock, than download the A-GPS settings within the GPS fix app. This fixed it for me.
