i've almost decided to get this phone. however, there's 1 major issue which is bugging me.

saw online many complains about GPS issue, it will suddenly drop connection and takes a long time to get back. even if it manage to be back, the location is haywire and jumps around. it's critical if using google map for driving and travelling.

not sure if anyone faces the problem as well? it's 1 major obstacle before i buy. thanks in advance.

No complains with GPS, the jelly scrolling is more serious.

No issue with GPS. In fact I took it out my. Pokémon go and most importantly drove out in Sydney for my vacation. No dropped gps within the city center and mountainous areas.

Same, can't fault the gps. Google map loading for directions also almost instant and now they even prompt when in a traffic jam when there is a faster alternative route.

Not true, the jelly screen cause me discomfort in my daily use, but I read a lot of Reddit and stuff. It gives me headache, I can’t take it.

I also 2nd that jelly cannot really notice. Perhaps, you have a set that is more pronounced.

Actually, there is no need to unlock even. All you need to do is to wake the phone up. Security wise, I understand you can only use it three times this way. After that, you will have to unlock again before Android Pay will work.

This is no less secure than a regular PayWave VISA card which you also cannot unlock or wake up. If you are not concerned about a PayWave card, you shouldn't be about Android Pay as well.

Sent from OnePlus ONEPLUS A5000 using GAGT

Is a good point but most of the time when multiple cards r in the wallet, it is impossible to scan while the card is in the wallet unless the card drop out

N reason I wanna use Android pay cos I want better security over the cards. If there is no secuity, there is no pulling factors for consumers to use

Yes, GPS is rather jumpy for me. Very noticeable in Pokemon Go. :p

The latest Oxygen OS update supposedly has a fix for this.
