ktsarlz I got the same error with 10.0.1. I verified the hash of the ZIP too.

Somehow I got it to work, but stupidly I forgot to document how I did it. Maybe I used OxygenOS to pull and install the update instead of TWRP flash?

But 10.0.1 was hot garbage. I tried to go back to 9.0.17 using the TWRP backup, but it ended up boot looping. So I had to use MSM to go back to 9.0.4

Just now I got the same error again in TWRP with flashing the 10.0.3 ZIP

Looks like some kind of software defect. First I would carefully check the relevant Google settings. Then I would try to erase the data of some more Google apps, but I don't know which ones could be responsible.

Does anybody here know more about this stuff?

One additional thought. OxygenOS/Android 10 has new settings for location access. You could try this:

* Settings

* Location

* App permission

* Scroll down to find Maps. It could be in the second chapter, ALLOWED ONLY WHILE IN USE.

* Tap Maps

* Select: Allow all the time.

If this was not already set, that could have been the cause. Apps that need location access in the background or while the phone is locked need this setting.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:

That was one of the first i checked.

I dont see the issue with Maps. Its Google Play Service related, because clearing Play Service data will fix the issue, but just for one location query.

All GPS only related location funktions are working well
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Location Service broken

Mostly for the benefit of others who want to check or tune up their location services—there is another related setting:

Settings

Location

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning

Enable both

I can already guess that this does not solve your problem though. Yours seems to be something special that does not occur very often. My guess is still that erasing the data of some related system services would fix it, but I don't know which and I cannot be sure.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ratelutz:

Anyone having issues restoring from titanium backup? I did a clean install of 10.3, and titanium backup seems to be very selective of which files it wants to restore. It will restore some and others it just hangs and never completes the process.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ffejy462:
Historically, TiBu struggles with messaging apps. Not only takes a long time to back up, but seemingly longer to restore. That said, I haven't had any problems with any other apps. I avoid restoring system apps after is updates assuming the apps were updated and potentially could cause conflicts. Apps that have backup capability built in (Nova launcher for example) I don't don't use TiBu.

Anyone facing WiFi dropping issues with the new 10.0.3 update?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hodgestl:
You could have at least read the last 5 pages or so of this thread! If you would have done just that little bit of reading, you would know that MANY folks are experiencing that issue. I see you are new here and we all want to help. But we need everyone to do some very basic reading and help themselves. I would not ask you to read the last 500+ pages in this thread, but as you grow in XDA, you should always read the first 4 or 5 pages and the last 4 or 5 pages (I would suggest 10 pages!) of any thread BEFORE you ask a question. You will find that the question may have been asked and answered or may not have an answer yet. Welcome to the forums and good luck!

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kdog12:
I haven't experienced any wifi issues at all on any of the Android 10 updates. I used local upgrade and decided I don't need twrp so didn't flash that. I use magisk or ex kernel manager to flash what I need. TMO converted with 10.3.0

Only issue I have is Bluetooth codec AAC seems to have problems with my cars radio now, so I have to switch it to the SBC codec, but all other devices that can use AAC are fine. Idk what the deal is.

Am I the only one experiencing gps gmap issues on 10.x? Highly annoying, getting ready to go back to Pie. Have tried "everything" - clearing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling, toggling li action preferences in my account. Nothing seems to work.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Causical:
Nope you're not the only one, I'm basically experiencing the same sort of thing. To actually get a GPS lock-on seems to take way longer and the little "my location" button in the bottom right corner is non functional a lot of the time. Once it's actually finally locked on and running it seems to be okay, but the overall GPS experience does feel a bit unstable on 10.3.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GroovyGeek:
Bummer. Tried manually resetting A-GPS data, this immediately produced a location lock but an hour later the "my location" dot is once again grey and non-responsive. The issue seems to be exclusive to gmaps, I have tried a number of other mapping apps and they work fine.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ratelutz:
nope. for me it is not exclusive to gmaps, but all apps using location service from google and not only gps data.

example: taskers "old" Get Location which uses GPS for location fix workes. Get Location V2 which uses the "new" location fix function does not work.

Clearing Google Play Service data fixes this but only for one location query
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GroovyGeek:
It is quite possible that my other GPS apps don't use Play Services. When I clear Play Services data I also get a lock, but only once - same as you. Issue must be somewhat isolated of more people are not screaming bloody murder.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ratelutz:
maybe you use apps that only use gps as a base. as an example locus maps or waze are working because they use gps
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
Location Service broken

I observe the opposite over here in Germany, I believe since upgrading to OxygenOS 10.3. One app (blitzer.de, a speed trap warner) immediately stops getting the GPS location when running in the background. It used the GPS directly.

Fortunately this app offers a choice in the settings. I changed it to use the Google Location Services instead of the GPS, and the problem is solved. It runs nicely in the background now.

The question remains, why was there a problem with using the GPS? I also use Locus Map and Google Maps and have not noticed any problems.

Clean flash to 10.3 from 9.0.17 and experiencing a couple of strange issues:

- Intermittent issue where I connect my phone to my car's Android Auto and AA doesn't launch on my car. What actually ends up happening is it wipes my BT connection to the car and I have to go back in and manually setup my BT connection to my car.​

- I am using Smart Lock with trusted devices and places. I have found that when I am no longer using the trusted device or in a trusted place, smart lock is still activated and my phone will not require any passcode or fingerprint authentication.​

- I am using Messages for texting and some of my contacts are no longer listed by name, but only phone number. I have tried associating the number with the contact's name in Contacts, however, it doesn't resolve the issue. This was not the case on 9.0.17​

Anyone experiencing similar issues or can comment on these issues?

Thanks, in advance.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hodgestl:
Am I the only user that is AMAZED by the faults with the A10 update (in all its forms) for the OP6T so far? How do we get to the beginning of 2020 and things as simple as Bluetooth connections and 5Ghz Wifi connections are not stable? How does this happen? We are not talking about advanced issues new to the operating system! We are talking about BLUETOOTH and WIFI! Hasn't every Android phone in the world successfully done those two things for several years? OP says here is 10.0.0. Wait, that is bad. Then they say here is 10.0.1. Wait, that is bad too! Now they say here is 10.3.0. WAIT! IT'S STILL BAD! I have never been more disappointed. And at this point I intend to stay on 9.0.17 until OP really figures out how to update last year's flagship, the OP 6T! Sorry for my rant. I just can't take it anymore. Maybe 10.4 in Feb or 10.5 in April or 10.6 in June can finally actually provide BT and WIFI. This is UNBELIEVABLE!:(:(:(

BTW, this does not even include concerns about Play Store authorization issues and other A10 problems. I would rather that OP wait until Feb or Mar, or April to do it right. But I think they have sacrificed TONS of credibility here. I'm not sure they can actually gain all the trust back they have squandered in the last 6 weeks. Its sad. They wanted to be a big boy, and play with the big boys and be one of the first to go to A10. Now they are in a hole and a lot of 6T users will never come back!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] azsl1326:
Well, your post clearly resonates with me as it's obvious now that the issues I posted about above yours are related to shoddy software and rushing to market. Is there a place to directly contact OneOlus and file bugs, complaints, etc.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] void4ever:
So I'm one of the "few?" that haven't had a single issue with A10. I'm not making this post to gloat (well not ONLY to gloat) but I wanted to drop my process in hopes it might help someone else.

Background info:

International version - bought from OnePlus, NOT tmo phone

8GB Ram + 256GB ROM

Dual sim setup:

GoogleFi in Sim1

Verizon in Sim2 -Primary

I'm in the U.S.

First and foremost I can't stress enough starting from a completely clean slate. Those of you who have MSM'ed back to 9.0.17, and are going to A10, it's STILL an upgrade, not a clean install IMO. I understand lots of people have done this without issue, but the fact of the matter is even using MSM to return the phone to stock, you have Pie on the device, and your writing Q over the top of it. This is not a clean install, again IMO.

When I installed Q, I went into TWRP and wiped everything (including my data partition, I had everything backed up before hand with Titanium). At that point I flashed the first release (the one that was pulled shortly after) and haven't looked back since.

I did have a boot loop issue the very first time. I'm not 100% certain why, but after allowing the phone to boot "WITHOUT" TWRP or Magisk once, I've never had an issue since. If I had to guess it may have needed to update various firmwares (phone, gps, whatever else) and TWRP/Magisk was messing with that process. (maybe thats part of the GPS issue some people are having, can anyone confirm the GPS radio firmware was updated for Q?)

Since then I've dirty flashed every new stable release without issue, through TWRP.

10.0.0 - Second release

10.0.1

10.3.0

This thing has been rock stable, no GPS issues, no Android Auto issues, no lag after phone calls, no boot loops, no funny contact issues, Finger print reader works perfectly, No game issues with CoD mobile (i don't play PUBG). It works exactly like it did when i was on Pie, and exactly the way I'd expect.

I personally believe this is all up to it being as clean an install as possible. Again I cannot stress this enough that this is all just my opinion, but I've been flashing since the old Moto DX2 days and never once have I run into all the issues I'm constantly reading about in these threads, especially when crossing major Android versions. It's always been smooth sailing.

Good luck, if you've got questions on my setup / process I'd be happy to answer.

Void4ever

Edit: Here's my Baseband version in case anyone whos having GPS issues wants to compare. No idea if it'll help, but more info never hurt!

845_GEN_PACK-1.234724.1.235768.2

Again i'm in the U.S.

OS version : 10.3.0
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hgmichna:
In every update thread there is always at least one person with infinite wisdom, recommending a factory reset. I will now take my virtual wooden hammer and hit it on your head three times, every time shouting: "Android was not designed to ever require a factory reset."

If it did, which, from my experience, I do not believe, that would be a defect.

Anyway, have a successful year 2020, everyone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] void4ever:
You're right because every OS in history was designed and programmed perfectly with no bugs and oddity's. It's was all programmed by machines that are perfect and make no mistakes! :D

We can argue all day about how something was designed but the simple fact of the matter is 30+ years of experience tells me that factory resets, reformats, reinstalls, and whatever else are sometimes necessary, even when the designer didn't intend it. In fact i would go so far as to say if they didn't intend it, why is it even an option? Perhaps because they know sh*t happens, or they don't trust themselves as much as you trust them! :D

There's a reason I stressed as much as I did that it was all my opinion. This is what works for me, and if it helps someone else great, if not, great! I only ever do a full wipe on Major jumps (like Pie to Q), I dirty flash everything else.

Anyways re-reading this I maybe coming off like i'm mad, and i'm not. I enjoy a good debate, so please don't take this the wrong way! And happy new years to you as well good sir!

Android is also a GOOGLE software NOT a OnePlus software, Google releases an entirely new generation of operating system software and there are a F*** ton of changes under the hood. OEMs then have to take Google's new source and what they themselves have already and figure out new ways to implement their own personal OEM features to play nicely with Google's source. Being that OnePlus is pretty new in the grand scheme of the public market and that technology is generally intended to advance very rapidly, this means that not only are previous years flagships not going to take priority, but if there are bugs related to source code compatibility between Google's BRAND NEW release of Android and an OEM's software then they're going to make sure that their front running "lime-light" devices are ironed out first.

It's just common sense, yes we get a little spoiled because Android is so free and open, but remember it's a business, be happy the European Union doesn't own and control everyone's access to the internet by now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hodgestl:
I agree with all of that and I really appreciate the thoughtful response. But we are talking about WIFI & BLUETOOTH! In 2019 with the same electronic modem in the device, it is not rocket science. You are exactly right. And based on what you said, Oneplus should have waited a couple months. Please keep in mind that 10.3 is their 3rd A10 effort in 2 months. If they can't get wifi and Bluetooth on the 3rd try, then there is really no excuse about how difficult it is because of Google. That is just an excuse. Better if they just waited till February to roll out A10. They would have still been ahead of almost everyone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GroovyGeek:
So today I did the following

1) Updated Magisk to latest

2) Removed all entries FROM Majisk hide

There was no change in behavior of Gmaps - still gets first lock OK but then hangs "waiting on GPS"

Tried uninstalling maps and discovered something very perplexing - it cannot be done even with Titanium Backup. You can run uninstall and TB thinks it uninstalled the app but it is still in the app drawer and can be launched.

This is truly FU'd. Will try reinstalling A10 and if it still does not work I am going back to 9.

Update 1: reflashed A10. 3 left everything stock. Gmaps still does not work correctly. Going back to 9.
