Recently, i found my GPS didn't work. i connect SK17i with mobile network and use google map.The best result is 1400m range.It doesn't matter how long you stay outdoor, the GPS icon always twinke and couldn't find any sattelite. But in the same position and same phone setting when i use LT18i, it found sattelite in 10 second.  Is it possible to solve this or not? Firmware problem?

Hello, News for my phone.

I sent my phone to Service Centre just now.

The stuff even not know what is A-GPS and GPS. I nearly argue with the stuff.

Now my phone is under checking. Just wait and see what will happen?

Dear All, guess what happen?

Yesterday, i took my sk17i back and what the service centre had done were same as last time i sent my phone to them: reload the S.W.(software) and check hardware. Thay said both software and hardware are OK for my phone.

Please see this:

They reloaded the software and check hardware first time i sent my phone to them. And after that, I took at least three hour outdoor to check if the GPS is fine. But the result is failed. So i resent the phone to them, and compliamed same thing said my GPS never work! They did same thing. Do you think what they do were rediculus?

The stuff told me, they have done all what they should do: a) check the software; b) check the hardware. The resault were all OK. I think they should be thank for their duty work and i thank them.

Infering to what the stuff have said, i think the problem is from the Sony ( Ericson) core technical support. They didn't solve the problem of the capacity of the Android system and they own hardware. They sold product with defects!

Let's get to the point.

I get no time to check how is the GPS now. But will revert to you all as soon as i check.

I am hoping surprise that it works.

May Sony and i will bring you all surprise!
