Hi,

I was wondering how to play pokemon go in shopping mall like 1 utama when I can't get gps signal most of the time, I'm using an iphone 5, a Samsung Galaxy j1 also can't get gps signal too. Anyone have any idea/solution to this problem?

It could be your carrier's fault. Slow internet speed? My friend is using Maxis as his carrier and he rarely gets gps signal in 1U.

if it's clearly gps problem. try to turn on your wifi, this is due to your carrier being weak and thus, require some sort of wifi enforcement for your gps.

Just switch on wifi. Leave it on

how is wifi gonna help when there's no wifi to connect to?

i tot they just use gps+mobile network only for triangulation

yup its ur carrier prob.
my fren using digi and 6s plus had gps prob all the time while in 1u
me using s7 edge/umobile had np at all.

There's also wifi location. Phone uses visible wifi APs to determine location. See Skyhook.

Your phone do not have to be connected to these wifi hotspots to enable location triangulation. Your phone merely need to detect nearby wifi hotspots (open your wifi menu and see the lists). From there your phone will identify the signal strengths of each wifi hotspots and pass the info to your location server, thus allowing for alternative source of location from where you stand.

Check above, other former already explained. If not, Google and enjoy your Pokemon go

I'm using celcom

Oh didnt know that. Nice info

My phone got this 'scanning always available' option. Allow location services and other applications to scan network even if wifi is turned off. So if i turn off wifi will this still help with the gps accuracy inside malls?

correct.

My Samsung galaxy j1 although having this option (which I've enabled) it still doesn't recive gps signal as an error

make sure u open the game and locked gps before going to malls. the game need your initial location.
