gps precision

[japtan]

Hello,
I own a Sony xperia c4 dual. My gps is really accurate in Waze (error is less than 5 meters). But even when 8 to 12 satellites are locked, I see in Gps Status a precision between 25 to 75 meters. I guess this is the reason why other apps report there is no Gps fix (eg. ICoyote).

Is it a known issue ?is it hardware or software ?should I send back my device in rma?

Thanks.

No, it is not an application issue, but a GPS issue : the GPS report bad info about its position accuracy.
Some apps use this information, others don't. For those who use it, the GPS is detected as faulty passed 100km\h. For those who doesn't use this information, the gps is OK.
Si, Sony should correct its GPS

Same issue and same conclusion : this is NOT an app issue, Sony should fix it, gps reports bad precision in highway...

It works with Google maps but not with other apps?
