Note 8 GPS not working after latest August security update

[gorzejewski]

I have tried everything I can find on the internet to try and get my GPS to work again as I use it very often, does any of you here have any fixes for this issue?

Or is it just a case of waiting for another update to find out whether it was the update or hardware issue?

Thanks:good:

Can't confirm.
GPS works great, also inside.
Try the app "faster GPS" and set the NTP server to your country.
Change GPS settings to GPS only
Then disable WiFi and mobile data and start the app GPS Test. You should get a GPS fix between a few seconds. View attachment 4574651

Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. It could be a software conflict.

Just did and it didn't work, also flashed the previous update before my phone broke and that also hasn't fixed it...

In that case. I would backup all the data on your device and perform a hard factory reset. If that doesn't work then you need to take your device to a Samsung Service Center

Happened to me as well. All sensors are dead.

cannot get GPS fix note 8. (middle east)

to OP, did you manage to get the gps fixed? my note 8 can see satellites but cannot get a fix. (a-gps works) happened after the last update.. factory reset, cache wipe etc done to no avail..

Similar problem,
my GPS works for few days after a factory reset, then stop to find satellites.
If I reboot the phone GPS works again and find satellites immediately, but just for few minutes.

Same here... Sensors are at 0, gps doesn't work. It started after september update and latest version doesn't resolved problem. To be honest i don't know what's to do. Wiping cache, restoring... Nothing helps.
