    I've got a 9530 on Verizon, and no matter what I do I can't get a GPS lock withe BBMaps or AmazeGPS. I've enabled and disabled and re-enabled GPS in the options menu. Am I doing something else wrong?

    Are you outside?

    I have found that my device cant get a GPS lock inside at all. When I am outside, it finds GPS signal very easily.

    Tried it outside last night when I took my dog for a walk. Same thing. Kinda frustrating.

    Your saying your enabling and disabling it.. Did you also set the GPS Service to "Location On" and not 911 only.????

    Tried it and it definitely worked for me outside. Sometimes when I'm in Midtown Manhattan, I don't get an accurate read on my location.. (hundreds of meters off). It's not perfect, but when it works it's on point.

    I updated to 151 and it all started working beautifully. I'm getting locks from 10 sats even indoors! Thanks for the suggestions.
