Hello,

We all know that on MX4 getting GPS fix takes really long time (30 sec - 2
min), making scopes like NearBy useless in most of cases. I have a look at
budget LG L Fino with Android and compared it to MX4.
In both phones test was the same: at start mobile data and WiFi turned off.
Next step - turning mobile data on, opening GPS app (Google Maps and uNav)
and waiting for proper location.
MX4 time - as mentioned above. LG L Fino - I didn't notice when it find
location - it was that fast (simply when Maps finished opening, I saw
correct location). Could anyone explain why budget phone can find location
in 1-2 sec and mid-to-high-end MX4 can't? Is there hardware problem or
software? Maybe in LG L Fino, system is asking for location all the time
keeping GPS fix all the time it can? Is there anything we can do with
data, even at the cost of battery usage? (for now, I can use MX4 even 4-5
days without charging - but I would prefer to charge it even 1,5 days if
that could improve location services)

Best regards,
Krzysztof Tataradziński
