A
Android Central Question
It appears, I can't say conclusively, that around the time of the May security update on my Pixel 2, GPS and location services intermittently stop updating. For example, apps that use the phone's location (Google maps-- both on the handset and android auto, mapmyride, ingress) will not change my location as I move around. Sometimes, google maps on android auto will update, but only around every 10-20 seconds, and will place my blue dot someplace random in the vicinity, nowhere near me. Google Maps on Android Auto will say "Searching for GPS", Waze's location will just float around the map.
A restart will fix the problem, every time. But usually about once a day it comes back, requiring another restart. Very annoying.
I've done the following:
1. Cleared storage and cache for apps that use locations.
2. Cleared storage and cache for Google Maps.
3. Turned location services on and off, and set to "high accuracy"
4. Updated A-GPS data with GPS Status app.
5. Complete factory reset.
