In diagnostics the gps test shows passed and that the gps is working.

still,gps works only in google maps,I put my Z5 on airplane mode.set location to device only,and tried offline map and it worked flawlessle.

no luck with any other GPS app like Igo primo or gps test,there is no lock.

Check the individual app settings have permission for location services.

location permission is on on IGO and gps test.

Test is passing also various gps apps are working (Sygic)though loosing sometimes the gps position and recalculating.

The most annoying is that location button is not working even in google maps(the button which is as a crossed dot) and also in various ather apps so apps cannot acquire the location you are in the specific moment.permissions for location are granted in every app.....there should be a fix for this I 've heard many incidents on this

That's very strange.

In google maps and waze gps works flawlessly.

On the other hand, in all other gps apps like Igo primo and gps test there's no lock no matter what the settings.
