[Q] GPS issues on Skyrocket

---

Have any skyrocket owners run into issues with the GPS? Over the last few days I've found that the GPS radio is very hit or miss, & more often miss than not.

I typically leave the GPS radio off, enabling it when I need maps, navigation, yelp, etc.On my original GS2 this had worked without issue ... after turning on the radio I'd have GPS functionality within a few seconds.

On the sky, though, Google Maps, Places, etc report "waiting for location" for several seconds; then Maps times out with no result while Places errors out with the message "your different location is temporarily unavailable" ... this even after the GPS radio has been on for 30+ minutes! i've had this result whether I'm inside our outside.

Fwiw under location services I have UseWiFi OFF, Use GPS ON, & Sensor Aiding ON.

I should mention that SOME times out does work, though I've not found a pattern.doesn't appear to be battery related, since i've had it not work at full charge, then work later that day at 5% charge.

Too I downloaded the GPS Status app to directly see what result the GPS radio was returning ... that app shows the GPS properly returning a latitude & longitude, but then exciting the app & trying Maps still gets no GPS/location result.

I also get this issue, so is it a map issue or a gps issue? cause I will go down to ATT and return this bitch.

My GPS works great locks almost instantly indoors or out. Infact its by far the best of any phone i've had yet.

I've been having the same issue. Mine has trouble locking my coordinates for minutes at times. I will run the GPS Test and it will look for towers for minutes at a time and it takes forever for it to update the clock and get a Long & Lat fix. To fix it, I have to toggle the GPS button and sometimes it works and other times I end up having to reboot. Yesterday while driving and using the maps, it lost the signal while enroute and wouldn't pick up another signal until I rebooted.

It's quite odd ... when I was traveling in Portland last few days, the GPS issues were often and persistent. Get back home to SF, and suddenly GPS has started working w/o issue, try as I can I can't get it to reproduce the problem now ???

I don't seem to have any issues with the GPS on my Skyrocket. It usually locks on within 10 seconds and is accurate.
