Hi,
Yesterday I was driving around all day with Phone connected via Bluetooth and using voice only Navigation in Google Maps.
In the evening I reached 20% battery and the phone automatically activated Battery Saver Mode.
Suddenly while driving I heard the "GPS Signal Lost" Notification.
Picked up my phone. Took a look at gMaps and saw it repositioning. Navigation continued.
Put it back down in the middle Console, 3 Minutes later... GPS Signal Lost.
Didn't realised at that time why this happened but today I tried again, with Full battery. Drive around. No Problem.
Activate Battery Save Mode... 2min Later GPS Signal Lost.
This does not occur when you hold your phone Straight Into the sky, but when enclosed in the middle Console of the car GPS Signal is not strong enough.
It does work fine without battery Save Mode though.
So my Claim is:
Battery Save Mode DOES also reduce GPS Signal strength.
If anyone could confirm this I'd be grateful :)
