GPS Problem

Momomotus — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 17:25:13 GMT

Hi,

I used my xperia ray as GPS navigator for several month without any troubles.

3 days ago, I lost gps tracking while driving with google navigator.

Since then, my phone doesn't fix any satellites anymore, no matter the application I use.

I'm running on ICS 4.0.4

I don't allow automatic updates.

I already reboot, uninstall/install gps apps. Nothing worked.

Any ideas on what is going on?

Looks like the problem came without any reasons.

Could it be a hardware problem?

Anything to do to check if the gps chipset (or whatever it is) is still working?

Thank for your help

It is a bit strange that this suddenly appeared for no reason. However as it appears you have not tried to run an update yet to resolve this I would advise doing so as a first step.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Hi Sam,

All my apps are up to date. I already try to uninstall and reintall them.

Do you suggest another update I may forgot?

As you said, It appeared suddenly for no reason, on a fully working device.

When I try to catch gps with google maps, the satellite appears in the notification without blinking waves as it used to be (i think). There's no waves at all.

Thanks !

Hi,

Everything works fine this morning. I haven't done anything new to fix it.

It's a bit strange, I don't know what to think about it.

Thanks
