GPS problem

Hi everyone,

brand new owner of xperia m and ufortunatly with big dissapointment at the beginning. Everything is working correctly except for the GPS. Wont get fix no mather what i do. Have tried leave it outside with gps test app running for like one hour and nothing. Can see satelites but wont recieve any signal and wont get fix. Have seen that it managed to recieve signal from 1 or 2 satelites for short moment but then all of them gone at one moment (not to mention that the signal was bad)...

Have tried to clear a gps cache, have tried to restore the phone to factory settings. Restarts ...  Still the same. I am using latest firmware 4.1.2 build 15.1.c.1.17.

Any recomendations or just to throw the phone outside the window? 

Thanks

Radek

Bonoboo, that's why i wrote:"...So the only way for Sony is quickly fix all mistakes, bugs... and don't lose clients... coz most of us i think will choose others manufactures devices in future..." If Sony don't care theirs costumers... there are many manufactures which care... Slightly_smiling_Face

U wrote: "You can wait for fix / FW update, but I not sure that it will be." I'm not just waiting new update, but i don't want root my phone still i have warrenty... Slightly_smiling_Face But if Sony will not fix that (they can fix everything in KitKat, coz i think they will release for Xperia M, u know to create update need more money, time and ect, so i think Sony just saving time, money and ect, i think they just concentrated into KitKat for Xperia M (if they creating this update for Xperia M offcourse), it's just my theory... time will show what Sony think, doing and ect) Just be patience and wait... If they will do nothing... Next smartphone of me will be Samsung... it's second best manufacture for me at this time Slightly_smiling_Face

Hi guys,

I purchased xperia m dual in october last year.

Before the update to jelly bean, the GPS was working perfectly fine.

But after the update, GPS just does not work.

I tried all the options(going out under the open sky, factory reset, restart, enable GPS settings etc..) but none seem to work.

Is this problem only to some users ??

Because if you see the sales of xperia m/xperia m dual, they were one of the highest.

And going by the volume of the pieces sold, and also assuming even half of them updated the s/f, sony support forum would have been bombarded with this issue. But this is not the case.

Can someone please guide me in this regard..!!!!!

Holding my phone out of the window unlocked my GPS, thanks to chakkingal.
