GPS has stopped working.. Again. Help :-\

[Kdubbn]

I have a GN2 running 4.1.2 AT&T. I've had this particular phone less than 2 months and like my previous Notes my GPS has stopped working out of no where. No locking onto any satellites and other than a quick class or two of the GPS icon nothing else happens. This has got to be my chief company with my Notes. I don't understand, is it something I'm doing? AT&T does? I'm I destined to never no where I'm at our going as long as I have my beloved GN2?(ok a bit dramatic there) I've done everything tech support suggested and have tried various apps to try and help with the issue but to no avail. Any thoughts? I use my GPS alot so this is seriously a big issue. I really don't want to jus get another device, I want to know if it's me or something else. I appreciate any and all suggestions

I'm only throwing this out there because it worked for my Galaxy S3, so maybe the Note 2 has a similar "fix." The screws were actually loose:

Again, just throwing it out there as a suggestion but I don't know if the Note 2 has similar problems or even a similar setup with screws to tighten. I do know on my GS3 (and my wife's) as soon as I did the above, all my GPS lock issues went away.

Well I'll be damned man. That actually worked. You have no idea how much you just helped me with that. I was just about to send it back to AT&T and just start from scratch. Thank you!!!!!!!!
