Dowload a program like GPS test from the play store and see if you can tell more about the problem. Any sats showing at all? Etc.

Certainly it is not a normal problem, normally it locks in seconds.

Wellllll i downloaded this app "GPS status" and i think it fixed my GPS nice !!! :good:

mine has the same problem with GPS. The issue occurs randomly. I have tried using some GPS test apps and they showed some satellites over my location but my ZL didn't get any signal from them, that's why ZL couldn't lock my location

Other times I tried again and it worked like nothing had happened. This issue happened before the 4.2 update, so I guess the update doesn't solve any thing regarding GPS issue

My ZL work a bit better when im outside my house. and when i get inside the accuracy really sucks........

udylenb she,

My ZL work a bit better when im outside my house. and when i get inside the accuracy really sucks........

yeah, we all know that it works best outside rather than inside. However, my ZL has problem with GPS even when I stand outside.

Today I ran the GPS test app while driving from work to home, it didn't lock my location, even once. It was frustrating for me

Well I also have GPS locking issues... It simply refuses to lock on to sats.. I used GPS status but it didn't solved the problem either. It shows abt 20 sats but the accuracy sucks Sky high...
But i got a solution... If I restart the phone then it locks real quick...

Hit thanks if I helped u

yehh I normally use Waze when driving... but on this ZL it seems not to lock my location :S........ is this hardware or software since many are having this issue :/

I have tried reboot, re-install the firmware but it just doesn't work for me.

I sent it to Sony once and when i got back, I was so happy that it worked instantly but it only lasted in few days and the issue occurs again till now.

I'm not sure if it is a problem of hardware or software either
