Check the individual app settings have permission for location services.

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
