AC Question

why is my S5 alway searching for GPS since I updated lollipop.

My S5 keeps (4-5 times a day) searching for GPS signal. I have full strength signal and a white 4G at my house. It never searched for GPS with Kit Kat but since I have updated to lollipop, it seems to loose the GPS and has to search for it. It quickly finds it again and the notification goes away.

I never keep my GPS phone and locations, I just set my location to wifi to save a small bit of power. I would guess that since you're inside maybe it's breaking connection a lot or just trying to keep up with you. try setting your location to power saving mode and see if that helps
