GPS signal unstable

I've bought the Xperia M4 Dual and my GPS signal (at using Sygic) is continuesly re/disappering. I think it is a problem with 5.0 lollipop, because it is known for memory leaks and failling apps because of it. Does anyone has the same problems? Or knowns a solution?

Do you experience the same GPS issue with other apps such as Google Maps?

GPS Signal Unstable:

Model Xperia M2 Aqua - D2403

Here in Brazil this issue has not been resolved.

Our last build is 18.6.A.0.175 and SINCE the latest software update my GPS constantly loses signal.

The phone support reviewed the issue for existing authorized workshop only in the capital.

And here in Brazil sony smartphones cost quadruple in the US.

I would like to make available new software update to resolve the issue here as well.

Okay, so I scrolled through forums looking for answer, found that M2 got the fix (/t5/Xperia-M2-M2-Aqua/GPS-issues-after-lollipop/td-p/1046001 there), M4 Aqua Dual too (/t5/Xperia-M4-Aqua/GPS-signal-unstable/m-p/1016637#U1016637) but my 5-days-old Xperia has the same problem as all of the above, making any navigation impossible, as my locations begins to jump to random places every few seconds. So when will we get an update, please? Current version is 26.1.A.2.167

Hello

I've also a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2363. Android:6.0.1 Build: 26.3.B.1.33.

The GPS has worked fine during the last year, but this month I become to have problems with the gps signal. The signal is very unstable and the update rate is too slow. I'm using a Sport Monitor (Strava application) and it delivers inconsistent data about my tracking route.

Thanks.
