[Q] GPS detects satellites, doesn't lock?

[gipikay]

After looking for similar threads and no solution worked, I ask here if anyone has any idea that could help me.

Since a couple of months, my GPS stopped working, it detects satellites but doesn't get a lock on any of them ( see picture ).

I've tried factory reset, flashed Stock 10.5.1.A.0.283, and 10.5.1.A.0.292. Last year I've changed the display with success, but something could get wrong and I'm suspecting hardware failure on the GPS or the antenna ( the C6602 phone was purchased broken for cheap to fix it myself, so service is out of the question... even if there aren't any real or good official support down here on Uruguay )

Fun thing, I have the same issue with my phone. But then again, I had to change my display, too. It was working afterwards for a while, but somehow something died about 3 months I'd say.

Which ROM are you on? And did you try this

while you were on stock?

OMG, thank you!!! The Xperia forums suggestion seems to have worked, as I'm still in stock, now at least is not stuck but it's locking. The Xperia post says it can take a while, but at least now it's locking in at least 3 satellites.

Thank you so much

Hello. The Xperia forums changed URLS and nothing is to be found. Any chance you remember what was the fix 5 years ago?
