Here you can learn how to fix GPS problems in ALLVIEW Android phone.
If you’re experiencing GPS problems on your ALLVIEW device, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issue. Here are some common solutions:
- Check GPS signal and location settings: Ensure that your ALLVIEW device has a clear view of the sky and is not obstructed by any physical barriers. Also, make sure that GPS and Location services are enabled in the settings. Go to Settings > Biometrics and security > Location, and turn on “Use location.”
- Toggle GPS on/off: Open the quick settings panel on your ALLVIEW device by swiping down from the top of the screen, then look for the GPS icon and toggle it on/off. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Biometrics and security > Location and toggle off/on the “Use location” option.
- Restart your ALLVIEW device: A simple restart can sometimes resolve GPS-related issues. Turn off your device and then turn it back on after a few seconds.
- Update your device’s software: Ensure that your ALLVIEW device is running the latest software version. Software updates often contain bug fixes and improvements that can resolve GPS problems. Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install updates (if available).
- Clear GPS cache: Clearing the GPS cache can help fix location-related issues. Go to Settings > Apps > Show system apps (if available) > GPS (or Google Play Services) > Storage > Clear cache.
- Reset location settings: Resetting location settings can help refresh the GPS settings and resolve any conflicts. Go to Settings > Biometrics and security > Location > Improve accuracy (if available) > Reset location settings.
- Check high accuracy mode: Ensure that the GPS is set to high accuracy mode for better performance. Go to Settings > Biometrics and security > Location > Improve accuracy (if available) and make sure “High accuracy” is selected.
- Update GPS-assisted data: Some ALLVIEW devices use A-GPS (Assisted GPS) to obtain location information faster. Updating the GPS-assisted data can help improve GPS performance. Go to Settings > Biometrics and security > Location > Improve accuracy (if available) > Wi-Fi scanning (or Bluetooth scanning) and toggle it off/on.
- Safe mode: Boot your ALLVIEW device into safe mode to check if any third-party apps are causing conflicts with GPS. In safe mode, only pre-installed apps are allowed to run. If GPS works fine in safe mode, a third-party app may be the culprit. Restart your device to exit safe mode.
If the GPS problem persists after trying the above steps, it’s possible that there’s a hardware issue with your ALLVIEW fdevice’s GPS module. In this case, you may need to contact ALLVIEW support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.
