Hi Guys,

i have had nothing but problems with my GPS on my s4, I have downloaded the APP Active GPS as well as GPS status which were both recommended APP's which apparently were meant to fix the problem but never helped at all.

I have done factory reset as well but that didn't help....

Is there anything else I could try or is this a hardware problem maybe?
 
What seems to be the issue? Is GPS not finding you at all or reporting an incorrect location?
 
I use the Google Maps for GPS and except for the fact that I got an update over the weekend and now she talks way too fast, I've had no troubles with the GPS that were the fault of the device. I have had it fail to recognize the difference between being on the highway and being on the access road that runs right alongside the highway in a few spots - but that's a GPS issue and not a Samsung or Android issue.

Hi Guys,

Sorry been over seas...

The problem is that the satellite is like 50km out and when you drive or my location arrow doesnt move and when it does it just glitches everywhere or doesn't even move at all.

The only way I can use the GPS is to use the read route option which is a massive pain the back side.
