HI everyone!
I was hoping someone could tell me what is going on exactly with my phone. I used to have the white 32gb s3 but i just traded it in for the blue one about last week. It seems like ever since i got the blue one (this could be a coincidence) that my GPS around my home is not working correctly. Within a 15 mile radius around my home, it cant pinpoint my location. I tried installing the gps tester app and it can only pull in about 1 satellite or not any at all. Once in drive towards work, which is about 30 miles away, once i get about half way there, my gps starts working great. connects to about 17 satellites. pinpoints my location in every gps app i try. Its been doing this for days.
so im wondering if there is something going on with GPS in my area. I called verizon and the person I talked to had no idea what to tell me.
I believe i've seen GPS not functioning correctly before in my area, but if so, then it was just for a day or 2.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
Keith
