Is it just the Verizon GS3 or does the GPS SUCK on all GS3?

I have a Verizon GS3 and it SUCKS!!!! I use https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...d=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en&token=8YQhWsOK https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en&token=yMTUxfbm and https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...GkuZGlhYmxvc3VwZXJiaWtlcnVzIl0&token=gGilIwe8. It doesn't connect to the GPS I tried taking the battery out and hold the power button for 45 seconds and NOTHING

Mine connects pretty quick. Maybe a faulty device?

You must have a faulty phone. I can turn GPS on from within GPS Test and start getting satellite locks almost instantaneously, even indoors (Sprint). I have five Garmin units, including the high-end 3590LMT and the GS3's performance matches up extremely well.

I have a razr maxx and a now the S3 and my gps works very well. Was a little leary from going from a Motorola to a Samsung again but I'm very pleased with the go's in this device. Also if you dint know already turning on WiFi helps establish a faster GPS connection, even if it's not connected to a active WiFi. Downside it may use a little more battery.

Nope, just yours. By using GPS test, it shows we can actually lock on to 18-19 satellites.

I called CS and they said it "COULD" be the SIM card... So we'll see
