Enabling Location Services (GPS) - Android

If you are having trouble with location services (GPS) on Android, some things to try would be to restart the app (hard close fully, not just background, then re-open), and maybe lowering the filter quality to weak, though sounds like what you've already done.

Try cycling the GPS sensor, off then on, i’ve seen GPS get hung up before on my device and thats only thing that fixed it. On your phone (on most androids) you can drag notification bar down and see the on/off toggles for wifi/gps/network etc.

If you are tracking outdoor activity with iCardio or iRunner on your Android, make sure you have location services turned on. To do so:

1. Go to your Android Settings
2. Choose "Location & Security"
3. Make sure all of your location options are turned on
4. Open the app and tap Settings -> My Sensors and Turn Location on. If the check mark is orange, Location is on
5. Start your Fitdigits workout! NOTE: All Androids are not the same.

More information can be seen here too:

You might also try installing the other app (iRunner or iCardio) - if you login with the same email you used on the other app (see the Profile section under settings) all your data and purchases should sync. If that works perhaps a fresh delete / re-install will clear up any issues, or you can just use the other app.
