Google IO Tab GPS Problem

---

Looks like the tablet I was given at I/O has a faulty GPS radio. Any other people from I/O know if there is any way to have that fixed/replaced now that the conference is over? Thanks.

Mine works fine. Can you describe the problem in more detail?

Apps that use the GPS, like Maps, cannot get a location.

Mine works fine. I've used it many times, and it always works.

Im very happy for you.

I found that mine from time to time has mysteriously unchecked its own use GPS box in the settings menu. This seems to have happened after I setup Exchange and once or twice since then. It looks to be another software oddity in the device.

Other than that i find it gets better GPS better than my SGT7 and EVO.

Im sure that the problem Im seeing isn't across the board. It just flat out doesn't work. Any app needing a location just hangs saying "waiting for location".

Do you see the GPS icon in the system bar?

My GPS is flawless, it even finds me while um n the middle of the house.

I do. It just sits there saying: "Searching for GPS". Damn shame really, everything else about the device works perfectly.
