Hi, I'm facing issues with GPS (moving 100 m nearby while standing). Is this HW or SW issue? I'm usi ...

Perform factory reset.
Also switch off Wi-Fi and test GPS. If this fault is from first day you probably have hardware issues as SoC or antenna connector. Also you can use SPFT and flash complete ROM or perform format + download.
Here is SPFT instruction

Just another worthless advise. Do not reset if the gps is the only problem. The bad GPS reception is a problem with all UMI phones and will not be better after a reset. Just take a look at the several posts about this problem in this forum. If you only have GPS problems then you are blessed. Most people (as I had too) have a lot more issues with this phone. Thats the downide of buying this really affordable phone. You are getting the issues for free

Don"t waste your time as I did, GPS will never work as it should on this machine.
