Gps signal lost - Google maps

[Chaitu1907]

Hey there! So, I've been having this annoying problem with my phones, starting with the Galaxy Note 9 and now with my S24 Ultra. Whenever I turn on the power-saving mode and start using Google Maps for navigation, I keep getting this "GPS signal lost" message after a minute or two. It's super frustrating! The only way to fix it is to turn off the power-saving mode and restart the maps app. But that's not ideal, especially when I'm running low on battery. I'm wondering if there's any way around this or if I'm stuck with this annoying issue. Any tips or tricks you know of would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a bunch! :)

Hello 👋

Come to the point.

Power Saving Mode On is blocking (cutting power) gps sensor.

So that's not a problem.

You have to keep power bank when device have low battery.

Kindly turn off the power saving mode, because some apps not works properly when it's turn on hence this issue occurred. So there's no issue. Also when GPS is turn on power consume more. So when necessary open than close it's. If you like please accept as a solution it's help to others users also, click on 3dots in my reply section and click on accept solution. Thanks.

Bro, it's obvious to turn off power saving mode to use GPS currently.
GPS requires constant updates of location data, and power saving mode limits this.

I know was wondering if there would be a workaround or a **bleep** to use power-saving and gps at the same time
