Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

I suggest that you try to reinstall the phone software using Update Service..

Before reinstalling your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?

If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

I updated to 4.3 and immediate afterwards the GPS stopped working (it is not locking). I did the update again from PC, but it still not stable. Under perfect condiitions i MIGHT now get lock after 90 seconds. A-GPS data are available. Side by side the Samsung Note 3 will lok after 10-15 seconds.

Please help!!!

I have a problem which goes in the same direction with my Z1.

If I use google maps gps is turned on automatically and don't become deactivated after google maps is closed. In the quick settings gps is still shown as deactivated but I've I check the power consumtion I find google maps at top position with much more consumption than display or standby. Opening maps there shows that gps is running since maps was started the first time.

Is this bug still known and will there be a fix in a coming patch?
