Just one last question: is the Android you have in your cell a Stock version or
maybe you have installed any modded/unofficial rom?
In some cases, modded roms are derived from other devices (i.e. with the same
cpu) and could not fully support all the hardware in yours: I had a similar
Thanks to all for your help. I realize that there are some misunderstandings.
Some precisions :
1. The issue I have is not limited to Osmand app
2. The issue may very well not be related to altitude. Indeed, I sometimes get
a normal behaviour at 1000m, 2000m or 3000m for few moments. The fact is

It seems to me that people are reading with expectations rather than reading
what you are writing.
This is what I read...You are getting a solid GPS lock in other applications
but when you switch to osmand that connection is reset.
Occasionally if osmand goes to the background and back to the

Hi Manu EL,
if this time you are reading my post, the problem exist, please do the
follow steps.
- side by side with your smartphone, check one other smartphone device. If
the other works OK then ...
1. hard reset your smartphone
2. or go your device to one samsung authorized repair service
Seeing this over 1000m may be just a coincidence. I use OsmAnd
to log hikes ranging from 1500m (the lowest elevation you can find
near here) to over 3000m.
Is it possible that there's more thick tree cover when you're in the
mountains? I used to have an older (Garmin) GPS that had a very
Thank you to all.
I did not get better results by modifying battery settings.
I know that 1000m is not high elevation. I was just pointing that my issue
occurs when I am above 1000m. I have screenshots from "GPS Test" app but do not
know how to post them.
As I am in the mountains, I am still
I need to add one more info.
- smartphone devices into open area can locate us from 10-20 seconds into
cold start. hot start into 1-3 seconds.

it was into airplane mode. from android 2.3.4 up to android 9

Hi manu EL,
have you tried at the moment the issue appears on your Samsung A3, any
other smartphone device, to see the GNSS receiver capabilities ? Don't
forget that the GNSS receiver on any smartphone works without the need of
GSM modem. You may have the device into airplane mode without any

Could it be some issue related to energy saving in your device?
You can try looking into Applications and/or Battery settings: if one of
the apps using the GPS receiver is set to be put to sleep automatically,
just change the settings to "never sleep" (menu and options names may be
different
I've done some testing. I use GPS only, no A-GPS. Mobile connection is off

Thanks. I have installed GPS status & toolbox. I will do some testing when back

I agree with Poutnik, it could be a problem in your device.
You can try installing some GPS-aid app, i.e "GPS status & toolbox", to check
if location services are working well.
Additionally, if you are in a mobile-covered area, the above app will improve
your fix speed by forcing download of
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I usually turn off mobile connection when in the
mountains to save battery, and most of the time I am out of network coverage.
But my problem is that when I finally get a fix, the issue can occur 1h later,
get a fix 15min later then issue again few minutes later.
Does the issue happen if the mobile data have not been recently available
nor used during GPS usage ?
In such a case, GPS fix without help of internet based aGPS data may take
minutes.
But generally , it is matter of the hardware/firmware and Android.
OSMAnd just uses Android location
Hello, I often can't get GPS fix in mountain areas with osmand. When using GPS
Test, the constellation shows 10 or more satellites above me, which are green,
but the number of used satellites is 0 => no fix. Randomly it may work again
(like 9 or 10 satellites used out of 10 satellites seen)
