Why Does The Gps Icon Occasionally Appear On The Status Bar - Huawei Honor 7 Faq

7.5 Why does the GPS icon occasionally appear on the
status bar?
Certain applications using the location information may enable or periodically call the GPS
function (for example, a weather application).
Go to Settings > All > Permission manager > Access location info. Check whether the
corresponding applications access the location information.
7.6 Why is the compass inaccurate?
The compass may not be calibrated. You can open a compass application (map or compass)
and move your phone in an 8-pattern.
7.7 Does my phone support the BeiDou Navigation
Satellite System and how do I check whether the BeiDou
Navigation Satellite System is running?
Your phone supports GPS, A-GPS, Glonass, and the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. You
can install the GPS Test software on your phone and check the satellite search result. If the
satellite ID is larger than 200, your phone is using the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.
7.8 Is the GPS function charged?
The GPS function does not require the mobile network. Therefore, it is not charged.
If you enable the mobile network or WLAN, the GPS positioning can become more accurate.
However, Internet access is required when you browse through the map or plan a route, which
may incur data usage fees. You are suggested to download an offline map package.
7.9 What can I do when the GPS software locates slowly or
fails to locate?

Check whether your GPS signal is poor indoors, which may result in slow positioning or
positioning failure. Locate in an open area where the network signal strength is strong.
Check whether your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile network because some
GPS software requires network connection.
If the foregoing methods fail, contact Huawei technical support or use other GPS
software.
If the problem persists, contact Huawei technical support or take your phone to an
authorized Huawei service center.
