Wife's phone (Galaxy A6+) was having GPS issues with Waze and Android Auto, while phone app and Maps with AA were doing good.

I've tried all GPS and battery settings I've found on older threads, but what finally worked out is here: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/how- ... 57241.html

The solution:

"In the meantime, however, there’s something that you can easily do to restore Waze in your car. Just turn off location permissions for Android Auto but allow Waze to access your location.

To do this on a Samsung phone, go to Settings > Apps, look for Android Auto in the list, tap it and then expand the Permissions section. Click on Location permission and then choose the option that reads Deny. Follow the same steps for Waze, but make sure the app is set to Always allow."

Hope it helps whoever arrives here.

תנסה לבדוק את הגדרות המיקום בהגדרות ולהפעיל על דיוק ברמה גבוהה ועוד דבר יתכן שנחמה מהאפליקצייה הגישה למיקום תנסה לשחרר את זה אם תסתבך תכתוב... :idea:

Mid-related. My wife experienced no sound on phone mic so she was forced to use hands free every time. I decided to test taking off battery, so removed case and problem solved.

Cases are just plastic and/or rubber, no metal at all; maybe is just about temperature.

Not related. I met and old lady who couldn't use a wireless phone because device in his hands rebooted every time and that model has no reboot option (insert The Twilight Zone music here).

Started Sunday afternoon after working fine in the morning. on the drive into work the GPS connected after about 5 mins. and the return drive it connected after about 5 mins again. if it is like anything in the earlier times i expect this to go on for about a week and then there will be no GPS for about 2 weeks and then it will work it again. will be using google maps which is not having this issue for the next 2 weeks. yes done all the things you recommend which does nothing other than clear the recent destinations.
Last week, Oneplus owners reported similar issue. What's your device?

You need to update. OTA 5.1.5 solved this issue.

mám ten istý problém. Vždy po zapnutí mi naskočí, že nie je zapnutá GPS. To pred tým nerobilo. Potvrdím a GPS nabehne. Po niekoľkých minutách mi odpojí GPS vo Waze aj ked je v mobile zapnutá. Po vypnutí a zapnutí GPS v mobile mi to nabehne...ale časom to znova odpojí. Tak to musím opakovať. Ešte mi dokonca GPS vypadne aj pri telefonovaní. To sa doteraz nestávalo. Pri telefonovaní mi odpojilo dáta...teraz už aj GPS. Waze má problém!!!

Google Translator was needed but seems you're getting some issue that a lot of iOS users, here in Chile, are reporting today: no network connection.

Same here. No GPS showing approximate location. Reset iPhone 6 as new. genius said must be hardware issue. Either get new phone or live with it.

Same here. Waze can't lock in GPS especially when on my aircon vent using magnetic mount.

-AMAZING! I had the same thing - although not a new case - but after reading your post, the minute I took my case off GPS started working! Thanks for the tip!
