note 3 gps issues....still?

[Alin Bennett]

Sorry I know this is late but if anyone comes across this had the exact same problem. I took of both the case and the back (with the 12 screws) in order to access GPS antenna in top left corner. (Google:note 3 GPS antenna location.) The orange tab, only way I can describe the antenna, was not completely attached. A light push down and make sure the back is screwed on tight. All screws on t he left side were loose when I took the back off which could have been the problem as well

It looks like unscrewing, raising the pins and screwing it back again (but gently tighter) did the trick! At least in my case… probably just screwing it tighter would do (keeping on mind all those little drops my phone experienced) all that lead to screws loosen up a bit…
Well in my case - I was thinking it's lollipop to be blamed for it as it got worse pretty same time when updated the OS.
Just checked is it working - and so far it is! Gets full gps lock within 3-5 seconds…

Thanks guys for giving the idea!
