Problem with GPS

Benjamin_ — Sat, 13 Jun 2015 08:47:58 GMT

Hello,

I've recently got problem with the use of my GPS on Z3 compact.

In fact, when I use Maps or Waze, the app fin the way to go but when i start to move, the system says "signal GPS lost" and I can't follow the itinary 😞

I've tried to reinitialized my phone with the sony software mycompanion without success.

Someone has the same problem? Have you find a solution?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Benjamin

That's odd, do you have a protective case?

Check if the GPS works on safe mode.

Thanks for your help.

I have tried to use the gps with safe mode but it still not working.

In fact, the gps find where I am but it's too long to follow a itinery by car and it doesn'y know the direction...

Thank you.

I'm listening if you have an other idea...

Seems an issue with the GPS fix, can you download a GPS tool to try to download and refresh the assisted GPS data? There are many in the play store and all do the same. Just search for GPS fix. Let us know if it worked.
