Dear fellow Q10 users,

Do you experience inconsistent GPS issues? Roughly in the same area, sometimes I get GPS locks and sometimes I don't. Is there something wrong with the phone or is this normal? Is there anyway I can improve the GPS? Please advise.

Regards.

GPS depends on many variables. A cow farting in your general direction can screw up GPS.

The actual accuracy users attain depends on factors outside the government's control, including atmospheric effects, sky blockage, and receiver quality. Real-world data from the FAA show that their high-quality GPS SPS receivers provide better than 3.5 meter horizontal accuracy.


Higher accuracy is attainable by using GPS in combination with augmentation systems. These enable real-time positioning to within a few centimeters, and post-mission measurements at the millimeter level.
