I would be interested in getting feedback from other recent Mediatek phone owners. I’m not sure if it is specific to my phone design, or whether other Mediatek MT6752 phones may also be affected. So even though I only tried once, it looks like disabling Wi-Fi might have done the trick.

I did not get any firmware update since I started using the phone, Nike+ Running was last updated on April 8, 2015, and the last two weeks I had the same poor accuracy. However, I usually leave Wi-Fi on, and for some reasons today, I decided to turn Wi-Fi off before driving to the sports complex, and for the very first time, I got a proper tracking during my run. Since the review, I’ve kept using the smartphone with Nike+ Running, and each time it’s a disaster, and once the app even reported a 81 km for an actual 10 km run… I’ve also used Google Maps once or twice, and found accuracy to be poor as well. I’m running around a stadium so the shape should be elliptic…, but data point are all over the place.

However, in my Iocean M6752 review, I found out GPS fix was not super fast even without Internet connection, but accuracy is quite a disaster as Nike+ Running screenshot below clearly shows. These chips offer older CPU cores, the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU, and Bluetooth 4.2.

Mediatek smartphones used to have a terribly slow GPS fix, and it would often take over 10 minutes to get a fix if any, and one workaround was to enable Mediatek EPO. MediaTek’s P60 and P70 are older and a little less capable than the Helio P65 in many ways, launching in 2018.
