Pokemon Go has taken over the world in the past few weeks. Some people are taking this takeover on a lighter note. Some are worried about it. Today, I read about a guy who never liked moving out of bed all day. Walked almost 10 KM to find a Pokestop. Apple has declared that it has broken the record for most downloads in its App Store’s first week of release. Based on augmented reality, this game is breaking all the records and made 4 billion dollars revenue. It’s still not released in many countries around the world. In those countries, people are downloading Pokemon via APK. But they are facing this error: “Pokemon Go GPS Signal Not Found.”
How to Fix Pokemon Go GPS Signal Not Found
In the post below, we will examine potential solutions to this error. It is not a problem with your phone’s hardware or operating system. It’s mostly because you live in an area where Pokemon is not officially released.

First things first:
- Make sure GPS is enabled on your phone. You can check it by going to Settings on your phone. You will see an icon on your phone’s status bar if it’s enabled. If the icon is missing, you might have to go to settings to turn it on.
- Set Location Accuracy to High.
Get this done on an Android phone:
- Goto Home Screen –> App Menu –> Settings –> Privacy & Security –> Location.
It should already be turned on. You will see active right next to it. Now Select Search Method and select GPS, WIFI, and Mobile Network.
This is to set your location services to give the most accurate result. It won’t use your mobile data or cellular network credit.
AGPS Update:
There are times when there is no GPS signal in your area for Pokemon Go. To solve this, you will have to clear AGPS and update it. Unfortunately, this feature is not present in stock Android. You will have to download and install an application to do so.
Don’t worry—this application will only reset your GPS for you. It has been on the Google Play store for quite a long time, and many people are using it to solve their GPS issues. A recognized developer develops it, and it won’t harm your phone.
After you have downloaded the app, open the app. Make sure the GPS is turned on.
- In the app, locate:
- Clear AGPS
- Update AGPS.
This will solve the Pokemon Go GPS Signal not found problem. It will reset the AGPS data on your phone, and the new data will be fetched. You might have to reboot your phone and then start Pokemon Go again. This guide also works if your phone’s GPS is showing an inaccurate location.
Tip: GPS works best outside in the open. So it would be best if you played the game outside your home.
