Problems with GPS on Z2

[BobC1]

Hello!

I got a problem with my Z2 gps system. A few app's say that my GPs is turned off when its not and the weather widget can't find my location, and whem i'm lucky it does but gets it completly wrong, usealy about 15km in the wrong direction. Strangely a lot of GPS requierd app's work fine. Rebooting the phone hasn't worked and re-instal the non working app's neither. At first i thought the problems where in the app's but I find it hard to belive that that many app's have the same problem and also the weather widget that was factory installed doesn't work properly.. Does anybody else had similar or the same problems? and does anybody have a solution?


Phone:

I recently upgraded to Andoid 5.1.1. version. (with Sony OTA)

My GPS started not to work after the upgrade.


I did the test by phoning *#*#7378423#*#* and it did the servive  test for the GPS. it cannot anything: it says waiting for location update but does not find anything


Any work arround? SONY  PLS FIX THIS

Before doing anything else. Try booting to safe mode.

Safe Mode

Press and Hold Power Button > Tap and Hold POWER OFF > Tap OK to reboot to safe mode

Test your GPS using Diagnostics in Settings > About Phone instead.

Remember to test GPS at a empty road or field and NOT in a building to make sure optimum functionality.


After testing,restart the phone normally to exit Safe Mode.
