Why Can't The Installed Third-Party Positioning Application Locate Correctly - Huawei P8 Faq

8.4 Why can't the installed third-party positioning
application locate correctly?
The location information of a third-party positioning application is provided by the third-party
application provider if there is no GPS signal available, resulting in incorrect positioning
results. Use another application and try again. You can also take your phone to an open area
and try again.
8.5 Why does the GPS icon occasionally appear on the
status bar?
Some applications using the location information may use the GPS function when they are
enabled or periodically updated (for example, a weather application).
Go to Settings > All > Permission manager > Access location info. Check whether the
corresponding applications access the location information.
8.6 Why is the compass inaccurate?
The compass may not be calibrated. Open a compass application (map or compress) and move
your phone in an 8-pattern.
8.7 Is the GPS function charged?
The GPS function doesn't require the mobile network. Therefore, it is not charged.
The GPS positioning with a mobile or Wi-Fi network on can be more accurate. However,
Internet access is required when you browse a map or plan a route using GPS software, which
may incur data usage fee. It is recommended that you download an offline map package.
8.8 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.
