[MENTION=6381439]Roffus[/MENTION]: I know. But even after 4 months (with all brands of phones suffering), the issue remains low priority! What are Google thinking. If they are at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordPando:
Hi all,

2 days ago I flashed the new 5.1 and noticed that GPS hiccups were still there.

Then I changed a setting in my apn profile: APN type from "default" to "default,supl" (it's something that helped me with GPS problems on my previous phone, a NexusOne) and until now I had no drops while driving office/home.

I would underline that with kitkat GPS was working with just the "default" setting.

Anyway I've currently used only waze after that change. I'm going to test it with gmaps and nokia here in the coming days.

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roffus:
Hi LordPando,

I checked my APN settings and i've already "default,supl" with GPS issues.

Unfortunately I thinks it's only a coincidence, but let us know if you fixed the problem with this workaround
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
I did the opposite and it seemed to help somewhat. Had supl there, removed it. On AT&T
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borchgrevink:
What about work out apps like Endomondo and Strava? Have been working great on 5.0.1.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
Again, nothing to do with APN or network. Impact is worldwide.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
Why would anyone buy the Copilot, Sygic, TomTom and the other navigation Android apps anymore? if the navigator looses position randomly every couple of minutes (if not more frequently) and sometimes for more than 1 minute ???

These companies need to stand up and put some pressure on Google, because their products have been rendered useless on all devices running lollipop, worldwide!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau1960:
I had the same problem after upgrading to Lollipop from Kitkat, so I was thinking a bug in Lollipop.

Then I decided to clean refresh Lollipop and the issue disappeared! So guys, the problem is not Lollipop itself, but something wrong during the upgrade.

I can tell that all my friends using N5 and lollipop use gps without any problem.

This is my experience.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
If you look at the history of this thread you will see that we almost all tried this, and it didn't work for most of us. But lucky you if this fixed the issue for you :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
My nexus 6 never had KitKat and it exhibited the problem right out of the box and even after an update to 5.0.1. I will fresh install once I get 5.1 just to try but most of the other people already did, and it didn't work. Just a little advice to everyone: before saying that something you tried fixed the issue please verify beyond any doubt that it really did. It is not a nice thing to give false hope to others and disrupt the debugging process, if any. I appreciate that we all want and hope that this is fixed but false alarms do not help. The problem is intermittent and sometimes it takes up to 30 mins to display itself so it is not easy to verify that it is gone! In many cases you can tell it is still there after a 5 minute drive. However, thank you all for your input!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau1960:
I just wanted to share my experience. I had the problem and it was very annoying.

I executed a clean flash install and after three weeks I can say that problem disappeared. That's all.

Take it as you wish.

You can have a look at post #83.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
You can share of course, but just because it's fixed for you does not mean it's the solution, since you're the only one here that got it fixed this way ;)

On my side I tried everything. Only thing that worked : buy a OnePlus One with KitKat and avoid Lollipop as much as I can, until it's fixed...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mau1960:
This is my last post because I don't wan to start a flame.

I didn't say that is the solution, I juat said that it fixed my problem and #83 too.

That's all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
Nobody is blaming you dude, don't take it at heart. It's just that you said :

And we just replied that it was not the solution, since it worked only for a few, and other people have the issue without upgrade process.

Then you just keep defending yourself when nobody is attacking you... Just keep calm :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgsta:
Do custom ROMS with lollipop still exhibit this behaviour?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmatik:
Well, some updates...

I have added the "supl" option to APN Type as someone suggested above and surprisingly it looks like it solved the issue. As I have mentioned before I'm driving every day about 130 kilometers and did not have any disconnects for past 2 days, since I did the configuration. I guess it depends on your mobile provider, in my case it helped, probably not going to work for everyone.

This is good news from one side but not so good from the other, I mean it did solve the issue for my every day driving, but this also means I'm dependent on the mobile, when selecting "Device only" the issue still there, so lets say if I will travel to another country where I don't have data plan I will have those disconnects.

Google... come on... It was working with GPS only just fine in KitKat, whatever you did, undo it!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
Don't worry mau1960 ;) Mine was just a suggestion to everyone here. I'm glad flashing worked for you. Please let us know if there are any new developments. Every comment can help.

In my case I'm noticing that the GPS never lost position when the phone was in Airplane mode. I'm still testing but I've been testing with Airplane mode for hours over a couple of days now. With any other setting that I've tried, it would have given me loads of drops in this time. Now I want to test if disabling airplane mode and enabling 2G or 3G instead of LTE stops the drops (WiFi on or off didn't bring any improvement in my case - tried that already, that's why I'm testing mobile reception now). But before I report anything I need to be sure. I'll keep you posted. Did anyone get any drops with airplane mode on when driving outside ? Answering this question (sincerely) would really help us to identify the culprit or at least find a temporary workaround.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
I use only 3G, 4G is disabled, and I have the issue...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
Thank you Krystanos. In that case I will start by see what happens if I set the mobile to 2G (rather than airplane mode). It will be useless (for calls etc.) because I'm on a 3G only network in Malta, but I will see if it helps with our GPS issue. Switching airplane mode on SEEMS to stop the drops, but I'd really wish to hear other experiences with this. Try go for a drive in airplane mode and see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
Unfortunately, I switched to a KitKat model, so I don't have the issue anymore... Can't test... :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
In that case ... thanks for your services Krystanos ;) ... Which version do you now have please? Unfortunately I don't think that switching to KitKat is an option for me :( I have a brand new Nexus 6. Can you even go back on KitKat with that ? and to go back a version do I need to root (and hence void my warranty)? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
I changed the model of mobile. Switched to a OnePlus One. I use the GPS several times a week so I couldn't afford to continue with my nexus 5. I had to much issues :)

Maybe you can switch to a Cyanogen version of KitKat on nexus 6. Bit I don't know if this will fix the issue. I wanted to try, but lack of time...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roffus:
I use only 3G, me too and I've this issue.

I'll test in airplane mode asap!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
Thanks ! Good luck with the OnePlus. I heard it is a great phone

I'll still stick my nose here. I don't want to have the issue again when my One gets lollipop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
Hi and i want to say and for me stops the drop dignal with airplane mode.

And i have LG G3 D855 and with kitkat never had this problem.

And i tested with only gsm and again haved problems.

But its very stranger.

Sorry for my English
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
My GPS slowly started getting worse a little over a month ago, finally getting to where it was dropping signal constantly all the time, making it unusable. I tried a factory reset, different navigation app (HERE was slightly better, but still bad), 5.1 update, removing supl from APN, switching to 3G and 2G, clearing GPS data with an app, and turning off Wi-Fi. None of that worked.

So I ordered a new back for my Nexus 5. Arrived tonight and now Google maps is working for the first time in a long time. Still don't think it's working as well as it was when I first bought the phone on KitKat, but it's usable now. Was slightly inaccurate a couple times on my drive today, but never completely dropped or froze.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
The only "solution" so far is to enable flight mode during GPS navigation

It seems that so far we have established that there are no GPS drops when the phone is in flight mode. I, as well as others here, have tested for this vigorously.

In addition, switching from LTE to 3G and even 2G did not help. Google, is this of any help ? The issue still needs to be fixed because we cannot have our phones continuously in flight mode during navigation.

Any ideas ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joegestes:
It may not be relevant to everyone's specific signal problems,

but has anyone in this thread having Nexus 5 GPS issues tried this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBpNtWvY454
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_MT:
Yes I did that in the past on a Nexus 5 but to solve a different problem altogether. If you have problem in getting a fix (takes too long or never at all) it might be the case that your Nexus 5 GPS antenna has a loose connection. If that is the case, you might fix it as they do in the video. But the problem discussed in this thread is different. The problem is not to acquire a fix BUT to keep it without dropping. In my case, the procedure in the video had helped me to solve the fix problem. However be extra careful when opening the case as you can easily damage the edges and clips. Watch some videos on how to remove the case properly with the proper tools because the edges are easily damaged!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodZy:
To me navigating in "Airplane Mode" does seem to solve the problem. Also, when I'm not in airplane mode, but only disable data I do have the disconnects.

I will try that supl option. I do have hope for that option. I just came back from a trip to France where I had no disconnects. And after looking at the APNs that were on my phone I saw that one from Virgin Mobile France had that option already set in.

Pray for me guys !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krystanos:
Unfortunately French carrier also have the issue, even Virgin Mobile.

But quite a few feedback about offline. Good to know. The full workaround would be to use Here Maps in offline mode?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodZy:
Hmmm I keep my fingers crossed since it worked for some people :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
One question please.

When you have enable data what option you have on gps and eorks for you?

Only the gps sensors? or and device sensors?

I when i have disable or enable data but only gps sensors i have drops signal.

Today i tried gps and device sensors with data enable and works.

I try again with disable data and only gps and i report.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodZy:
The answer is easy, none work (for me). If data is enabled, I do have GPS drops. :(

Only when using airplane mode I don't have them.

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

From my side, it also seems to work. I didn't have any disconnects since yesterday evening. Let's just hope it stays like that !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
You try it without data,only gsm and only gps sensors if work? Because the APN is setting for internet and only for data connection.

I have disconnections and with only gsm without data connection.

One more question: if added the supl will be default,supl?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodZy:
I have those disconnects too. I didn't try without data connection and GPS on "Device Only". But to me it's not a real option since I'm mostly using Waze that needs an internet connection while driving.

Yes indeed, that's what I have.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
Ok thanks but all this is very strange problem in lolipop and difficult to find.

The gps is very important tool for smartphone and must work perfect like kitkat.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodZy:
I do completely agree !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roffus:
In my case also in airplane mode GPS does NOT work :crying:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
You have drops signal or doesn't work never?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roffus:
With sygic it doesn't work at all.

Then I reboot the phone, erase GPS data.. And sygic started work with sometimes the message "gps low signal".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeQuEsan:
I've done two things that seem to have fixed the issue for me:

- As stated here, add "supl" to my APN type. Thanks so much for pointing it.

- Also I've seen that for my local provider (Orange Spain, mcc 214, mnc 03), default nexus apn list have an extrange apn declared, as follows:

<apn carrier="Orange Internet Móvil"
mcc="214"
mnc="03"
apn=""
type="ia"
/>

I don't know why is that APN there, but it doesn't appear in settings menu, so I've just erased it from my telephony.db.

I can't say what has made the difference, but now I don't have those gps drops every exactly 5 minutes.

bye!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
I say again the apn maybe works but its only for using data connection. If you want to use only gps and no data?

I read something about gps.conf.

This file its in the system/etc and i replaced with kitkats file. I try it later and i post the result.

I open the file and the difference is one little line. Maybe this is better. Look here at the and.

Hi,

I change my review!

After 3 hours of drive in airplane mode, no GPS drop at all!

Thanks to all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodZy:
After several days with the "supl" option and hundreds of km driven, I still have no GPS drops. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocous:
For me the drops is when i don't use data. If i have the data on it work good. The only way for work without data is the airplaine mode.

I try many options with lolipop 5.0 and no data without fix it. (gps conf files-google play services versions-software from market-supl) Nothing work. I hope for some update to 5.1.

Hi!

I'm looking for a case without cutouts for the flaps, only for the magnetic charger.

Does anyone know where to find these?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Cronis:
The cruzalite bugdroid cases do not have the port cuttouts i think.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] FSRBIKER:
Like someone else mentioned the Cruzerlite case which is available on their website or on Amazon.

The RhinoShield bumper will also have the flaps covered if they get enough Pre-orders to produce it. http://www.evolutivelabs.com/pages/crashguard-sony-z3-compact

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] liteon163:
I, too, am looking for a similar case. I'd like something like the Incipio Dual Pro that leaves open only the headphone jack and the magnetic charging port. It just seems to me that leaving open the area surrounding the USB port and microSD card slot just wouldn't be good for overall protection. Bumpers also don't protect the rear of the phone, just the edges. I guess that basically leaves me with the Cruzerlite...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Heartkingz:
Exactly, I think we need to wait a little bit longer for more cases like this, unless someone has a good suggestion ofcourse.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Jobiza:
I'm also looking for this, since my wifes microsd and USB port flap will come open up by itself many times in a day.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cyphomatic:
I would give great money for the Puro covering all flaps. Best so far. But unable to make contact with them.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] onesun43:
I would like to buy a cruzerlite, but I hate the design on the back. Would love to find a similar one that's just plain.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cyphomatic:
Biggest issue of the cruzerlite is it's off the best screen protectors. Personally I also don't like the finish of the sides. Feels cheap.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Heartkingz:
Yeah the cruizerlite looks like a good case, but it is a little bit translucent right? Don't like that..

The magnetic charger is such an easy method to charge your phone without pulling the flap.

It is a little bit of a hassle in the beginning but you'll get used to it!

I also pre ordered the Rhinoshield. I hope they get enough pre orders because that's gonne be one badass case for our Z3C:good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] liteon163:
The black CruzerLite Bugdroid case is opaque.

Like others, I wish it didn't have the goofy design on it, but otherwise it seems nice. I'd rather have it cover the buttons, though, because the tiny isthmus of TPU between the power and volume buttons looks horrible (like it isn't fused into one piece right there). Otherwise, it's a decent case.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] chodid:
Do you guys know of any new cases that came out without flap cutouts? I'd buy the Bugdroid case but the design is bugging me too much...

It's a pity the RhinoShield didn't get produced in the end...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimthebutcher:
I apologize up front if this is has been previously asked. I found lots of helpful info on here searching through old threads but being a bit of a luddite I was a bit confused exactly which situation applied to me. I live in China and recently bought a s3 I9300I and attempted to root it using the chainfire method from the video on this site. Odin declared success but when the phone rebooted it just went back to download mode with a message at top saying, "Could not do normal boot, ODIN MODE." Turning it off and on, removing battery and retrying Odin flash produce no results. The most important thing of course is just to get the phone back to functioning but I'd also like it rooted if at all possible. I read that using Odin to install a custom kernel would root it and I would not be at all opposed to a good custom kernel. I read something about a binary counter that may need to be reset but that seemed to require doing something with the actual phone functions which don't seem to work. Odin still recognizes it when I plug it in and attempts to let me redo the rooting but it just shows a progress bar then reboots right back into download mode. Sorry if this is basic stuff but I'm kind of terrified of bricking this thing and am just not sure what the best course of action is here. Thanks for any help you can offer.
