The GPS of our mobile is one of the most important features it has. Not only to be able to locate us in certain apps, or go from point A to point B, but it can also record our physical activity in our sports outings, as long as the confinement ends. If you have GPS problems on your Huawei mobile , you can try the following.
There are many sports activity monitoring apps, which allow us to know precisely how far we have traveled, collecting the location data of the phone, as well as the speed at which it has moved. Something that does not always work correctly, especially due to certain software incompatibilities.
First, check the settings of the apps
When we use GPS with an activity monitoring app, it may be the case that the operating system is limiting the resources available for an application for many reasons.
This means that, to give an example, if the energy saving mode is activated, the phone could disable GPS connectivity precisely to reduce energy consumption. To avoid this, go to the Android settings on your Huawei and disable any type of energy consumption reduction rule that may affect this app. You can find these options within the settings in the drum section.
Calibrate the GPS again with an app
One of the best things we can do is use a GPS connectivity calibration app . This has been designed to improve the response of GPS connectivity when we demand it. It is an app with which you can reduce that lag that sometimes takes longer than necessary, something that is not appropriate when we want to go out and do sports.
If our Huawei is telling us the “waiting for location” message more times than we would like , this is the perfect app to be able to recover normal connection. It also works with all kinds of apps that use GPS, such as those for navigation such as Google Maps, or for example for physical activity, such as Strava.
Keep the screen on
Sometimes apps when the screen is turned off stop recording GPS activity, making it impossible for our activities to be recorded correctly with the phone. To do this you can avoid trying to turn off the screen , something you can do by disabling the function of automatically turning off the screen.
Restart the phone
It is obvious, but most of the time it works. It is very possible that after restarting the phone, the GPS connectivity will work correctly again, in the same way that when we run out of coverage, a restart will feel good.
This can happen due to software conflicts between certain apps and the GPS , which can be punctual and not permanent. A timely restart can take everything to the starting point and thus allow the GPS to work properly again.
Keep apps updated
This is a basic and essential aspect, and that most of the time it solves the problems. Sometimes apps can “break” and stop working properly, including GPS connectivity itself.
So one of the things that we must do when the GPS does not work well is precisely to look for new available updates , it is possible that it is a fault that the developer has detected, and has developed an update that is capable of solving that connectivity problem.
