We rely on GPS a lot and in case if it stopped working suddenly, it will surely create problems such as we won’t be able to order a cab or use Google Maps or other map services to search for user’s location as well as the route to a destination or any other location. GPS works with the help of satellites while smartphones use AGPS which means, it uses satellites as well as signals from nearby cell towers to triangulate the user’s location based on the signal received. BQ Aquaris is a great smartphone brand, however, even the most high-end smartphone could land in GPS problem or other problems where its underlying reasons could be anything from a broken or faulty hardware component to a software glitch or bug that might have occurred during the startup.
How To Fix BQ Aquaris GPS Problem?
Check for any interference
Although it is underrated and many people don’t even know if it happens but walls and barriers can cause the signal to fluctuate. This is why wifi signal suffers when you try to access it across the room while being in the same house and that same rule applies for GPS signal transmitted by the satellites and the cell towers and received by a smartphone. Get closer to the window and then connect to the GPS and hopefully, you will get accurate results henceforth.
Turn on high accuracy mode
If you think that the GPS is not calibrated properly if it shows a slight distance between your actual location and location on the map, you can turn on High accuracy mode that will consume more power yet will provide accurate location-based results.
Reboot the phone
Most of the GPS problem or Wifi problem are caused because of a temporary software glitch that could happen anytime for instance, while you tried to access a particular service i.e. GPS in this case. Reboot the phone has many benefits on a smartphone yet its main function is to give a break to the resources being used and the memory consumed by abruptly shutting down all the processes right there. When you restart the phone, you can check if the GPS is working properly or not.
