WAZE and GPS issues.

[TimmE]

Waze can't get a GPS position. Location services are on and other apps such as Google Maps are working normally. I did a search and saw others are having the same issue. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

No, but glad you brought this up. It's something Waze is going to have to address. It's my go-to app for navigation, so hopefully they will look into it, but if it's only affecting Ultra users (or even S20 users) it may take awhile for them to notice.

I left a review stating the issue. Also, when you look at reviews and select "this device only" you will see the same complaints.

Me too. It eventually works, but not a quickly as it should.

Or kicks in quicker after a reboot, which is very inconvenient. I also think when switching off WiFi it seems to struggle worse with getting a GPS lock.

I have the same problem on my Samsung A10.
Waze seems broken.

check that out on regular Google maps. That was the second day I had the phone

Some one on google play mentioned it happened to them right after a software update, so maybe it's not isolated to the S20s.

Apparently if you torn off 5g or voice over lte Waze works. Very annoying. I hope they fix it soon.

Same, swapped to Maps for now.

Waze often tells me it can't find the network on my Note 10. Problematic server?

Looks like this problem is getting a little more notoriety. Hopefully, Sammy will notice.

I just cancelled a S20 Ultra 512GB version due to this and the all too well known camera issues. I'm not willing to pay $1700 for a phone with this many problems. Hopefully, with time, they'll be fixed; and then I will reconsider an order.

No problems using Waze on my Ultra

I read that the GPS issue is isolated to Snapdragon CPUs not the Exynos variants.

I'm on the Snapdragon so I wonder what actually causes it

Same, but the issue is with Waze, not Google Maps/Navigation. At least not that I've noticed.

I don't have any issues with Waze and Google maps on us unlocked Ultra which is the Snapdragon version.
