GPS Problem

[fefyk19]

Hi, i have an Xperia Z and my GPS doesn't work, i tried to uninstall maps and reinstall but no change of situation, location services are active...

When i open navigation it keeps saying "searching for gps" and i waited like an hour but nothing...

Anyone has any solutions for this problem? Thanks!

Are you outside or indoors?

Make sure you have activated Google's place service under settings > location services.

If you are outside and Google's place service is active and you still experience problem I suggest that you go into to the service menu, press *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer. Go to service tests > GPS > purge assistance data. Restart phone and try again. Normally it takes a while for the GPS to find your position after you have purge assistance data so have a little patience when you try again. Also make sure to be outside.

Thanks a lot, i entered the service menu and i purged assistance data and then it worked xD.

Do you know when the update to 4.2 will come to Romania? Orange is my network provider.

Thanks a lot! xD

Just registered to say this:

*#*#7378423#*#* translates to *#*#SERVICE#*#*

Much easier to remember!
