Hi!
since the beginning i also have bad GPS problems (was never so worst than with this phone).
Especially in city areas it takes long to get a GPS (even in mode where use mobile\wifi).

What i tried already:
Download A-GPS files (via GPS Toolbox)
Download GPX Toolbox App (shows how long phone needs to find GPS ~some minutes)
Made Sony Softwareupdates (3x since i have it to newest)
Factory Reset
Repair Sofware (over the Sony Tool).
Try different G-Maps versions

It's really annoying and after my holiday i will send it to Sony RMA.
...bad thing need to wait over weeks to get it back and wait with a slow\old phone meanwhile.

I hope it's not a general product problem (use bad\cheap gps chip), as it's the high end phone of sony.

Regards
