Gps won't lock

[bboykin87]

Anyone else having issues with Gps? Mine just refuses to lock on. I have tried Gps status app to clear Gps data and that doesn't work either.

Do you have aGPS on? The lock is super fast with it on.

The lock on mine is slow as well. How do you turn aGps on?

This is second only to my previous bionic in the speed it locks.

I had a fascinate with a poor GPS... but like others have said my GPS on the nexus is basically instant

I have that on and it still takes over a minute to lock.

How do you test GPS lock speed ?

Edit: OK I opened maps and the thing locked on immediately. I guess where I was earlier in the day had reception issues

 

[bboykin87]

Yeah I have that checked too and my phone takes forever to lock on

I may have figured something out, I downloaded gps status from the market and updated the agps data and it locks on almost immediately

Samsung has historically used very poor GPS chips in their phones. No problems on my GNex yet though.

I'm having lock problems with the GPS as well. Updating/refreshing the AGPS data using one of the GPS tools seems to do the trick for a while. I often see 5-8 GPSes, but no lock for a minute or more....a bit frustrating.

Lock what?

No GPS problems here, it locks on almost instantly.
