YoGem, my place finding gps very well, but maybe that is high accuracy comfirmed. One time i used in other city, place found good, but was little mistakes with Google Maps, but i think it's not gps guilty, coz Google Maps wokring with internet and i think this time just don't reload Google Maps so fast as we drive 🙂 Someone wrote that battery draining fast when navigation, gps is turning on - that's right, with one Sony smartphone after about 120 - 150 km of using navigation Google Maps and gps smartphone's battery drained very fast, almost into end. I think this time i had Xperia M. But i think with all devices are the same.

Pp30, welcome, it's pleasure to help  I think u are really not the only with this problem like and i'm. Internet, gps and ect., really really draining very fast battery. After update i personal with battery problems met often. I don't know what Sony's engineers doing wrong, but often battery draining fast even after update and it doesn't matter using u smartphone or not, between battery usage before update and after is really explicit. If someone using smartphone only for short call or one or two sms, they maybe don't seeing this problems, differents. I'm using smartphone with all or almost all features like internet, gps andect., so i can see differents and i can find sometime bugs which maybe don't seeing others and others problems in smartphone. Why i need smartphone for just call or sms? I can use cell phone

Sorry to quote you after all this time (2 weeks passed after your comment) but the issue is indeed the GPS system/stack. There are various way to "fix" the issue. One is already inside the C5 itself but it's for people with a bit of experience...

... so here I go: Download from the APP Store the QuickShortcutMaker, open the app and wait the activities to load. Once are all loaded search the "app" LocationEM2, one click will open another menu with the same icon: Press that one and then "Try".

LocationEM2 will open, tap the AGPS tab be sure that A-GPS is checked, then scroll down until you see "SHOW SI QOP EDITOR", tap it and a new menu will open: Select Meter, then set Horizontal Accuracy to 1 and Vertical Accuracy to 1. Try now Google Maps or whatever APP...

... much better, right? Sure! Problem is battery drain and the fact that the device will heat

I tried playing Labyrinth and it was horrible. 

The ball always goes on top, left side corner of the screen.

I tried putting my phone on the table to check if the ball will still do the same, and it does!

I realised my phone has a problem.

Then I tried a compass app which I downloaded on playstore, the result is not consistent, I mean the arrow is moving even if the phone is just laying on the table. But is that possible? I tried comparing the result on my compass to my friend's compass on her phone, and we got different result. The arrow on her compass is not moving, it got its final result, while the arrow on my compass is still moving as if its still not sure where it will point. 

How can I fix this?

I need your help.

Thanks,

xoxo

Labyrinth is a wonderful game that I played since years ago when I got my first android tablet, it use the accelerometer of your phone. If you have issues with that game you need to recalibrate your accelerometer. There are lot of apps in the Google play store that can help you. Download one, calibrate and run again Labyrinth. Better?

Now, compass... Same! I use a nice app, called Compass. It show the compass with material design and it's really cool plus it helps to calibrate the compass. Follow the 3 steps and you'll be see that the compass will work much better. Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fulminesoftware.compass

Please let me know if all that fixed the issues with your C5.
