The LG Urbane 2 LTE GPS does not connect and no app installed on Android wear does not work.

It only works again after despareae and back to initial configuration.

Please let me know how to solve the problem, as it is causing great problems. I purchased the LG Urbane 2 find that it was purchased a good equipment, but for now only disappointment.

Hi,

I guess that the experts here may need your phone's model and FW-version.

Not necessary. There have been many threads discussing about the GPS on the watch. A search would turn them up.

In short:
1. Make sure you are outside with a clear view of sky.
2. Make sure you are stationary. Moving at any speed will make it even harder to acquire satellites.
3. Fire up the maps app or any other apps. Wait patiently for it to acquire satellite locks. It takes a really long time (a few minutes).

I have had lots of problems with Ghostracer in the last 6 months. Started with occasional glitches of lost signal and at this point it doesn't seem to ever get a fix. I switched to Endomondo and no problem getting a very accurate track (better than I ever saw when checking my ghostracer tracks) several times in the past week.
I was afraid that the GPS antenna or connection in the band was broken, but can't be with the precision I am now getting. My guess is that ghostracer is not using assisted GPS and thus takes forever with good signal to get a fix. When it did fix it would lose again before I even started running. Make sure the app you are using is utilizing assisted GPS.

I always use ghostracer and haven't had any issues. I first get a lock with Wear GPS, usually in 15 seconds or less, then switch to ghostracer and usually get 4 bars in seconds. I always have LTE on when I run so maybe that helps. It's been consistent for me for a year or so. I'm still on 1.5 also. Could it be a 2.0 issue, using preview?

Still on the regular 1.5. It used to work fine for me too. I also only turn on cellular just before a run, otherwise don't need it. But this never seemed to be a problem before. I'm glad some apps work, but I would really like to understand the issue. I should probably just try uninstall and reinstall Ghostracer because I really like it for the amount of display configuration. It is also the only app I have tried that gives voice stats on wear; not sure why that is missing from most of the other major apps.

Yeah that is strange. The only adjustments I know to make are in the GPS recording settings in ghostracer and to avoid moisture (I wear a wristband). If those aren't working, not sure why it would be getting worse, especially if other apps are working with GPS. I'm pretty sure mine is using the assisted GPS. If I turn off the cell, it can take a long time for a signal but with cell is within 10-15 seconds or less usually (using the Wear GPS app before starting ghostracer)

Voice stats? I've been using the app for over a year and didn't know it could do this. Do you know where the setting is listed to turn on/off? I always activate the 'audio feedback' in the accessibility settings on the watch so texts are dictated to me during runs. I wonder if this affects it. I hope 2.0 doesn't take that away.

In settings, there is option under lap for feedback and under Android Wear for audio in 2.0. I have both of these checked, though I don't have 2.0. I forget exactly what the audio says since it hasn't worked for me this year.

Ah ok. I just saw that setting. I have it checked but I'm still on 1 5 and haven't heard any stats. Will see if 2.0 corrects that I guess.

It looks like official AW 2.0 utilized full network assisted feature for GPS initial locking. I'm getting consistently 10 second or less lock time using LTE and Google Maps.
