Gps not working after Lollipop - c3 dual

Hey, my gps is not working any more after I updated to lollipop, I tried different applications in different locations but nothing. I've done a full repair by PCC and nothing happened. My software and all apps is up to date.

Kindly help as I'm new to this country and needs the gps.

I have this problem on z1 compact after update to 5.1.1. I don't know how to fix this bug.

Settings > about phone > diagnostics > test > GPS 

also boot on safe mode and test it again

The test failed in both cases normal and safe mode

Then it could be a hardware issue, contact your Local support

I have exactly the same problem! Is a decision only in the repair? the software can not be solved?

To be honest I didn't find any solution and Sony support is mot helping actually, so I decided to sell this cell phone

You guys didn't bring it in to the service center? Or unlock your phone and flash the entire firmware yourself

You should get it inspected by your local Xperia support

Hello! I gave the phone to the service, and there found problems with GPS. they did a software update and outdoor was to communicate with the satellites.I compared the GPS on this phone with the phone Sony Xperia ST21 Dual, which are about 20 satellites, and it turned out that my Xperia C3 catches for 10% less than the signal.My ST21 sees about 20 satellites and establishes a relationship with 10, and my C3 sees 32 (!) of the satellite, but establishes a connection with a maximum of 4-5 and signal strength of satellites equal to 10-12% less.as a result of position accuracy below and I can not normally use programs like "bike computer". How to improve the level of signal? or GPS-module should work well on this phone?
