Hello,
can someone confirm, that the following is a general problem?
On my just-resetted M8 (6.0 Sense 7 - international - full stock) it lost GPS Fix while the screen was off.
As a check, I did the same with Power Saver disabled. Then it kept the GPS fix even when the screen was off.
Now, why is this important:
When using my M8 in my car, Android Auto will turn the screen off when connected to the entertainment system. So when Power Saver is enabled , navigation in Android Auto is broken because it will loose GPS Fix as soon the screen turns off.
Again, with Power Saver disabled navigation and Maps are working as intended.
Does anyone got a workaround ?

- Turn on Google Maps
- Start Navigation to X
- Wait for GPS Fix (GPS Symbol in statusbar stops flashing)
- Turn screen off
- Wait a few seconds
- turn Screen back on and quickly watch for the gps icon
