Open the service menu by press *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialer. Go to service tests > GPS > purge assistance data. Restart phone and remove the battery for a while. Make sure that you have enabled both GPS and use wireless network services under settings > location services.

Try to use the GPS again and make sure to be outside.

I just bought an Sony play phone. And the GPS will not locate me,

I followed the instructions above, in purging the GPS - turning off, removing battery, but no joy

Can you help me?

Thanks

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

Make sure that you have 'use wireless networks' and 'GPS satellites enabled under settings > location and security. And you may have to be outside for the GPS to find your position.
