π± Troubleshooting GPS Issues in the Mobile App
PostedMay 6, 2025
UpdatedMay 6, 2025

Experiencing GPS-related issues can hinder your ability to sign in to sites using the Take5β’οΈ Connect mobile app. This guide provides steps to identify and resolve common GPS problems.
π Common GPS Issues
- GPS Drift: Your location appears inaccurately, often due to weak or obstructed GPS signals.
- Geofence Size: The site’s geofence may be too small, causing difficulty in detecting your location.
- App Permissions: The app may not have the necessary location permissions enabled.
βοΈ Troubleshooting Steps
- Verify App Permissions
- iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, ensure Location Services is enabled, and scroll down to the Take5β’οΈ Connect app to set it to Always.
- Android: Navigate to Settings > Apps > Take5β’οΈ Connect > Permissions, and ensure Location is set to Allow all the time.
- Check Geofence Size
- If the site’s geofence is too small, the app may not detect your location accurately. Contact your site administrator to adjust the geofence size.
- Enable Background Location Tracking
- For automatic sign-ins, ensure background location tracking is enabled:
- iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Take5β’οΈ Connect, and set it to Always.
- Android: Navigate to Settings > Apps > Take5β’οΈ Connect > Battery, and ensure Allow background activity is enabled.
- For automatic sign-ins, ensure background location tracking is enabled:
- Update the App
- Ensure you’re using the latest version of the Take5β’οΈ Connect app by checking for updates in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
- Restart Your Device
- A simple restart can resolve many GPS-related issues by refreshing the device’s location services.
