What s going on with the phone keeps positioning failing

The inability of GPS to locate is limited by many factors, the most important of which are signal and motion status. GPS is often difficult to locate in places with poor satellite signals (e.g., indoors, tunnels, urban blocks with tall buildings, etc.), or in motion. It is recommended that you:

1.Check whether the GPS function is enabled.

2.Try to locate via the network (data charges may apply): Swipe down the top curtain of the screen - press and hold the GPS icon - enter the location service settings interface - location method - select "GPS, WLAN and mobile network" or "WLAN and mobile network" (the operation method may be slightly different for different models of mobile phones).

3.If it doesn't work, turn off the phone and restart it to search for stars again.

4.If you still can't locate it, you are advised to change the location or try another time period.

5.Update the version of the software you are using. If you are unable to locate the navigation software using the navigation software, please update the navigation software to the latest version or try using other navigation software.

If you still can't locate the GPS after the above methods, it is recommended that you bring the purchase receipt, repair card and device to the Samsung service center for inspection.

If your phone navigation doesn't work, we recommend that you try the following:

1.Turn it off and try to turn it back on.

3.If the phone supports the A-GPS function, it is recommended to enable the function. Method: Settings - (More General) - Location Services (Location) - On (Use Wi-Fi - Tick) - (If A-GPS is turned on, it will consume data).

5.Try to change to another location.

1. Confirm whether to use third-party magnetic or metal accessories.

Please check whether you use metal protective cases (or similar metals, such as metal-coated protective cases), magnetic protective cases, magnetic brackets and other accessories, metal and magnetic materials are easy to interfere with and shield the reception of GPS signals, it is recommended to remove the accessories and reposition.

2. Check the location service and permission settings of the mobile phone.

Go to Settings - Security & Privacy - Location Services, make sure the location services of your phone are turned on, and make sure that the location permissions of third-party apps are turned on. Let the hall support the model that can set the positioning mode, please set it to: High accuracy.

Note: Android and above models do not display the location mode setting option, which does not affect the actual use of the positioning function.

3. Check whether "Approximate Location" is enabled

Press and hold the application icon on the desktop - App Information - Permissions - Positioning, to see whether the "Positioning Accuracy" is set to the precise location or approximate location, when set to the approximate location, the application can only obtain the user's approximate location, so as to better protect the user's location privacy, but some functions of the application itself may be affected. When the system intelligently recognizes the approximate location of the app, a reminder notification will pop up to avoid functional problems in the process of using the app. If the app has an inaccurate positioning position or cannot be navigated, set the positioning accuracy to:

Precise location. Note: This feature is not supported without this switch.

4. Check whether there is signal occlusion at the location.

In high-rise buildings, indoors, valleys, tunnels and other places with serious occlusion, GPS signal reception will be affected, resulting in inaccurate positioning, it is recommended to move to an open place for use and observation.

5. Check whether it is affected by third-party virtual positioning software.

Please check whether there is third-party virtual location software or punch card software installed on your phone, and if you are using such software, please restart your phone or uninstall the software to locate the location.

6. Comparative test and verification.

In the driving scenario, when the car is in the starting state, if the navigation signal in the car is weak, you can move outside the car to compare and observe the navigation signal strength, and check whether it is affected by the interference of electronic devices in the car or the car glass film. In addition, use map software that is not the same as the service to determine whether it is due to the software itself.

7. Upgrade the system version.

Please upgrade your phone to the latest version to view.

8. Service center testing.

If the above methods do not solve the problem, please back up your mobile phone data in advance, and bring your mobile phone and purchase voucher to vivo customer service center for testing. Customer service center address: enter the vivo official website vivo**app--my--service outlets after-sales outlets--select provinces and cities to inquire about the address of the customer service center;

It is recommended to enable the high-precision mode of GPS, WLAN, and mobile network combination positioning, which can improve the accuracy of mobile phone positioning to a certain extent. The operation method is to open the mobile phone settings, click "Location Service" on the high surface of the setting, and then select "Positioning Mode", select high accuracy, and use GPS, WLAN or data network to determine the location.

When positioning, users should try to move in areas with strong signals to avoid interference from the environment on the positioning of mobile phones. If the mobile phone is in a weak signal area, such as the network signal strength around the mobile phone, the surrounding environment, etc., will affect the accuracy of the mobile phone positioning, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the mobile phone.

If the user finds that it is not accurate when positioning, it may be that the mobile phone uses a metal protective case, which affects the signal receiving device of the mobile phone.

If the mobile phone cannot be located, it may be that the positioning permission of the app is turned off, you can open the settings, click "Location Services" on the settings interface, and then turn on the positioning permission of the app in the location service.

There are many factors that affect positioning and navigation, please try the following methods to check and confirm:

1.Influencing factors such as magnetism, metal phone cases, magnetic brackets, etc.

Metal or magnetic materials will interfere with GPS signals and shield them, affecting the reception of signals. If you're using a metal case, magnetic case, magnetic stand, or magnetic chuck, we recommend that you remove it and reposition it. For example:

If the center console of the car is interfering, it is recommended that you change the position and move your mobile phone to the window and other places to check.

2.Reasons for geographical location.

1) Towering buildings, dense buildings, roofs, and walls will affect the reception of GPS signals and cause inability to locate them. We recommend that you enable Wi-Fi or move to an open area.

2) The signal is usually poor in tunnels, viaducts, mountainous areas and other heavily obstructed places or high-speed driving scenarios, and the GPS signal can be recovered when you go out of the area. If the GPS signal has been poor, it is recommended that you try restarting your phone.

3.Position simulation software impact.

The location simulation software uses a virtual location, so when it is turned on, it will affect the real positioning results.

4.Whether the position switch and location permission are enabled.

Please check whether the navigation software has permission to read the location information. Steps: Open the phone settings, enter permission management in the search bar to enter the application interface, click on the app that cannot be located and navigated, and open the location information permission.

5.Please check if your phone settings are correct.

1) Please make sure that the mobile network connection is normal and the location information is enabled in the drop-down notification bar.

2) Please confirm that the location service settings of your phone are correct. Steps: Pull down the notification bar, press and hold the location information icon to enter the location service interface, click to improve accuracy, and enable Wi-Fi scanning to improve the accuracy of network positioning.
