Hi there! I understand your HERE WeGo app keeps losing your current GPS location and requires a reset. That can definitely disrupt your navigation experience. To help narrow this down, could you tell me a bit more?
- Does the app lose location only sometimes or pretty consistently? - Are you using the app indoors, outdoors, or both when this happens? - Have you noticed if this occurs more when your phone is in any specific mode, like power saving?
Meanwhile, here are tailored steps to improve GPS stability for your device running Android 10 with WebKit:
1. Confirm Location Permissions: Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > HERE WeGo > Permissions and make sure Location access is set to "Allow only while using the app" or "Allow all the time."
2. Disable Power Saving Mode: Power-saving modes can limit GPS accuracy. Turn off any battery saver mode via Settings > Battery > Battery Saver, or disable any third-party battery management apps.
3. Turn Off Battery Optimization for HERE WeGo: Android sometimes restricts apps in the background to save power. Go to Settings > Apps > HERE WeGo > Battery and find “Battery optimization.” Set HERE WeGo to “Don't optimize.”
4. Wi-Fi Setting Enabled: Even if not connected to Wi-Fi, having Wi-Fi turned on helps improve location accuracy through Wi-Fi network scanning.
5. Remove Any SD Card: If your phone has an SD card, try running the HERE WeGo app without it inserted. Some users have reported improvements in GPS when doing this.
6. Update the App: Check that you are running the latest HERE WeGo version from Google Play Store, as updates often contain fixes for GPS-related bugs.
7. Restart Your Phone: Simply restarting can refresh system services like GPS.
If after these steps it still loses GPS lock, another angle is to check if other navigation or GPS apps exhibit the same problem. This helps identify if the issue lies with the HERE WeGo app or your device’s GPS system itself.
Let me know how these steps go, and if needed, I can guide you through some advanced troubleshooting next. Are you satisfied with this initial solution?
