GPS Issue with all apps and functions on the phone
- Good afternoon everyone... New information... I have now noticed that the GPS lock is working intermittently on all apps & when I run "Device Analyzer" (Hardware GPS test - it fails) ... Is this a hardware or a software problem?... What are my next steps?... I need to use the GPS Navigator extensively for work and as a back-up to my stand alone unit... Thanks in advance,07-15-12 03:38 PMLike 0
- Mine just passed the gps when I placed the phone in a large window and I'm on the second floor of my wood frame home. Were you outside as the test suggests?
Warranty - call carrier.07-15-12 04:09 PMLike 0 - Good afternoon... I've tried it outside in the open, inside, downtown Vancouver... Just about everywhere... That is why I would like to know if it is a hardware issue and then I can possibly have it replaced as it is a company phone... Thanks,07-15-12 07:19 PMLike 0

You mentioned spotty, so it did work with some apps but not well?
Have you tried the camera app - it can add gps data to the image and when viewing the scene, it will identify the general location (upper left, I believe) which is prepends to the image name once you shoot. Here's one I took - the 9930, added that location info to the filename. If you hover over the thumbnail, you'll see "Issaquah....." as part of the name.07-15-12 09:28 PMLike 0 - If by in the open - a nice open field? Downtown Vancouver could be blocked by taller buildings, although it might work.
