Getting Galaxy Nexus GPS to Lock without SIM

---

Hi,

Has anyone got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (4.1.1 aka Jelly Bean) to lock on to the GPS without using a SIM? I am using this phone for the first time. I am on a Wifi Connection and outside my house (no overhead obstacles), but I cannot get the GPS. I can get Google Maps, but it cannot connect to the GPS. I have also tried NavFree USA and it says “Poor GPS”.

I’d be grateful for any ideas.

O. O.

Get GPS status and let it run while you're connected to WiFi
It will download agps data and that should help with your GPS issue

I have no clue what I did (might be I touched some hidden setting) and the GPS works perfectly. I talked to someone else who said that if you have a brand new phone (which I have), the GPS takes a while to lock on the first time. I think this was the situation with me because when I got the GPS to work, I was out of my Wi-Fi range. (I was in my car on the road with NavFree USA app.)

Thanks again guys.
