So try b. Diddy suggestion clear cache in recovery if that doesn't help might have to do factory reset , most times no recommend after a update but few scenarios it might have to .

I've tested my GPS after a system cache partition wipe and sadly that was not the solution.

Tapping to "turn location services on" then just re-enables wifi scanning.

How do you know that WiFi scanning is on - unless you go to the WiFi page, which automatically enables scanning while the page is in the foreground?

Have you gone to settings, connections, advanced, and turned off what is circled?

I'm talking about Location>Improve Accuracy.

I actually don't seem to get a GPS signal at all unless that option is enabled. Before the update, I had neither wifi nor Bluetooth scanning for improving accuracy enabled.

After disabling that, unfortunately still having issues. :/

Yes.


I should add now that I've noticed it seems GPS doesn't work unless Location>Improve Accuracy> WiFi Scanning is enabled. Otherwise I get a 'No GPS Signal'. Also, when I do drive and have maps open, my phones GPS location seems to hop between where I'd expect wifi hotspots to be, as if my phones GPS isn't using the GPS hardware but instead is relying solely on wifi to determine my position.
