solar flare

Solar Flare messes with the GPS on some device, if not all the devices..

It locks on my nexus in just a few seconds as well... normally. Ever since yesterday evening, Google maps and Nav never get a lock regardless of location or amount of time I wait. The nexus has a pretty crappy Wi-Fi radio, but the GPS has previously been pretty stellar. I'd like a word on what's going on here.

Also, I just tried to lock with my galaxy tab and my friends stratosphere and neither of them are getting locks as of yesterday. Can Samsung have screwed something up?

Wow same issue here. Just noticed it today. Seems to be be fixed. Odd indeed.

Same here in Germany.

Also News Widget stopped working all of sudden. Possibly Google server problems.

Had the same issue last night and it continued to this morning; but it seems to be fixed now. Was not getting GPS lock, downloaded GPS Status, let it run and it locked after like 3-4 mins. Since then its locking fine like before.

This is great. I was getting really worried my gps radio was screwed up, but there's obviously some type of server side problem. I wonder what the hell it is though, since other Android devices and CDMA Galaxy Nexus devices are working fine.
