Re: Long time to get GPS fix - hardware of software problem?

 

Hi, it must be Ubuntu issue. Because Android version of MX4 don't have such problem.

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,
