My note4 gps is acting weird, I'm on a trip and for some reason tells me "gps connection lost" I didn't have that problem with my LG G3, any way to fix this Gps issue?
Do you have the same problem?
Do you have the same problem?
When I first got mine, I loaded an app called GPS status. I use the GPS a lot.
GPS status would not show a satellite lock for a LONG time. I was disappointed. It finally showed a lock, and I just let is sit there and run a while. it takes a lot of time for it to get all of the info downloaded from the satellites.
Now after doing that, I can power up the N4, start GPS status, and in 4 or 5 seconds it is seeing 10 satellites and it has a fix INDOORS.
So mine is working very well.
I had these same exact issues with my Note 3 from time to time. There was nothing I was ever able to do to address the issue, including using GPS Status and Toolbox. When the problem wasn't there, it would work fine. My Note 4 hasn't yet had this issue, but I'm pretty sure it will. I don't believe the issues posted in this thread are hardware related.When I first got mine, I loaded an app called GPS status. I use the GPS a lot.

what is your location service setting? GPS only? GPS+data?
After two replacements, the GPS issue where it will initially lock then drop during my commute and when it comes back it's inaccurate are still plaguing me. I've tried factory resets, sim swaps, GPS fix apps, making sure location is on high accuracy mode, clearing the app cache, and some others I'm probably forgetting. It's been hectic trying to find places that have them in stock to exchange, and many store reps have argued with me about having to pay a restocking fee for these issues.
I chatted t-mo customer care today and they were of no help. They kept advising me to do the same troubleshooting issues I've already done. Then, I chatted Samsung care and the rep was A LOT more helpful than the previous Samsung rep I spoke with. Samsung has a remote app that you can download from the Play Store, and the Samsung rep can remote into your device and see what you're seeing. We couldn't do much at the time since I'm at work, but I'm set to chat them back right before I leave work. They're going to remote in with me and actually see the issue that I'm having while driving. HOPEFULLY a fix will come out of all this!!
