After the Lollipop update, my Sprint Note 4 GPS has been MISERABLE.
I use my phone when I run and cycle, to track my routes for training. I used to use JogTracker Pro. When the GPS issues started I thought maybe it was the software, so I switched to Runtastic Pro. It appears the problem is the phone. I never had so much trouble before! The GPS loses signal in the middle of town! And then it can't re-establish GPS for LONG amounts of time! Sometimes 1.5 miles, sometimes 15 miles! It is INSANE how poor the GPS has gotten.
Sunday I went on a 2 hour cycling ride, 1 mile in it lost GPS signal and NEVER regained the signal. Over 30 miles of open road riding and the GPS never re-connected.
I have tried all the various GPS settings in the settings menu (under Location - Mode). GPS only. Power saving. High accuracy. They all SUCK at this point. What happened? Is it only the Sprint Note 4? Is it all Note 4? Is it Lollipop on all phones?
I am SO disappointed. I had NO problem tracking training routes up until the Lollipop update! :''( Looks like I'm going to have to invest in more technology (running watch, cycling computer) when previously I didn't have a need.
