GPS problem


My navigation and GPS will not work properly

It shows the route on Google maps but will not track my current location accurately and won't give directions

I downloaded the GPS status app but it won't connect to any avaliable satellites

I reset my phone

Still nothing

It used to work and I bought this phone in March.

I can't remember it working accurately since I upgraded to android 5.1.1 but this could be just coincidence

Please help as it's driving me crazy

@bluebell85

how accurate is your location?

It's set to high accuracy

Using it for basic directions on motorway it tracks me a few km away in a field etc and doesn't move with me as I drive

Repair the phone with PCC and report back, also what do you see under 

settings  > about phone > status > signal 

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

This means nothing to me so unsure if this is what you're looking for but it says under 'signal strength'

-103 d8m 37 asu

(Have just downloaded the PCC, what is my aim here?)

Tried this, it whirls around and around for ages but doesn't pick anything up.
