I have tried all three things and none of them work. I have an LGMS395. Do I need a newer phone?
Try to turn off and then turn on the gps while you are in the game !
My problem is tied to GPS accuracy- When I am standing on almost any pokestop my GPS will either stop in a location 100-300ft from me, or it will run around sporadically within 50-300 feet of me while i am stationary. My only hope to get pokestops is to hope my avatar runs by the stop so that I can quickly select it before it runs away again. I’ve tried positioning myself away from the Pokestops in a way that my avatar will incorrectly display on the pokestop (fooling the error), but its almost like my avatar is coded never to stop on one… Very annoying. I have a Verizon Droid Turbo.
I m having same problem
And my device is samsaung note 4
Not working for me either.
i have samsung galaxy e5 with android 4.4.1 but my character dont move properly and locations also lag 🙁
I found the resolution to my problem. First, There was a “battery saver” mode within the location services of my phone (found in settings for android 5.1) that I had to change to “high accuracy”. Secondly, I had to google how to enter the “developer options” for my device, and within that I had to disable a setting called “allow mock location”.
Both “battery saver” and “allow mock location” let the phone predict the accuracy of your gps, but do not require it to be precisely accurate. This will cause apparent lag, your avatar to run around sporadically, and generally make your movements highly irrelevant to the gps. After I changed these settings my phone now tracks my position perfectly. The before/ after comparison is mind-blowing really.
can i disable mock and put high accuracy on iOS?
Not working my gps is fine I tested it on another game to make sure it wasn’t my gps …it shows the shop near me and Pokemon but my person will not move or moves back and forth on her own…have looked everywhere to try to find a fix to this problem and can not find one …hope someone can help here cuz this is the fifth message board I’m trying to find help on

This might be the problem with your GPS or it’s not working correctly with your device.You can wait for an update.
I got an iPhone 5s and whenever I’m at a park or something my character is not going to where I’m going my avatar is usually like always 50 ft away from me and never in my direct location. This makes is hard for me to get Pokemon and get to poke stops please someone help me this is very frustrating.
