GPS issue since One UI 8 / S24+

[Greg_24]

Hello all !

Since updating to Android 16 / OneUI 8 on my S24+, I have noticed problems with the GPS.

When I use it, and on all my apps that use GPS (Google Maps, GPX Viewer Pro, Geo Tracker, Comaps, etc.), it stops working after a few minutes, as if I had stopped moving... In other words, it locks onto one location... I have to disable and re-enable Location Services to get it working again, and I have to do this every 5-10 minutes...

Do you know of a solution to this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Greg

Hey !

Thank you so much for these tips!

I just tried this out.

And I left my GPS running for 2.5 hours without interruption! That's great news!!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way!

Thanks again to Tourbillon De La Vie for this invaluable help!

Cheers !
