No as no GPS problem on SGS2 .
Try a factory reset (wipes all data ).
Or return it to the seller or a service centre .

Hi guys
I bought a P500 on 25 October and GPS worked fine in that period.
I have been trying to localize my position for two weeks but I didn't succeeded. Apps like Foursquare or Mobile Maps don't work.
Can I hope about a software problem? Could I try to solve the problem with a reset?
Or it's a hardware problem and I have to send my O1 to the assistence?
Sorry for my English
But what it don't work?
Doesn't find the GPS?
Or desn't fix position?

How long did you wait after GPS was switched on? Where you outside?
Try the programm "gps status" so that you can see whether it finds really no satellite or if you only have to wait longer for the gps fix.
hi guys thanks for the answers
I had problems standing outside with apps like 4sq or layar
This morning I did a reset (from privacy settings) and after that layar and 4sq worked again
After some hours I had issues again and I decided to try the app you suggested me (gps status). I managed to find the satellite and now it works again with 4sq and Layar.
what do you think about my problem?
Sounds hardware to me!

I had this problem too. i googled searched... After rooting i started deleting a whole bunch of stuff. i accidentally deleted TTS. The GPS navigation used this to tell directions so stopped working.
Not sure if you're referring to navigation. otherwise re-flash or cash in that warranty.
I'd say a reflash is better to get all the apps back to normal
i'm sure that will help if not you can always calibrate your gps according to the country you are in
EDIT: check this page and check which app you're missing maybe you'll be able to reinstall any app you deletedby error and get the GPS back to work

also I've seens that issue on mine but just when i'm not on the 2nd floor, it never finds a satellite and my location
Hi there,I'm in mexico celebrating my honeymoon and I'm getting huge waits for gps connection,i can't upgrade to a different rom being away from home,i was wondering if the gps fix had been singled out into one fix update. I've had a search via xda app but can't find much other than whole roms
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try gps status and toolbox from the Market. it donwloads gps assistance data that reduces lock time and gives you more gps info. It might help.
Happy Honeymoon!

are you using network assistance to get a gps lock or are you trying to do it without using data? try to get a lock when you are connected to wifi (use wireless network and use gps satellites both checked in settings). next time you go out you should get a faster lock as it will remember roughly where you are
No GPS fix in any rom as no GPS problem reported to Samsung .

My Galaxy S2 has been working great until today. Suddenly Google Maps will not open. I've cleared the cache, data, removed it from the phone rebooted and then reinstalled the application. It starts up, freezes for a moment and then crashes.
The other problem is my phone no longer get's a GPS signal. Before and after rebooting it. I downloaded a GPS tester and it's showing 1 satellite in range, which makes no sense.
My phone is rooted, stock.
Anyone have any ideas? I googled the google maps crashing issue and there's hundreds of threads but no real solutions.
I just uninstalled the Chainfire3D Pro drivers and google maps now opens. Why would those two conflict?
Edit: Still not picking up any satellites.

No. I would like to try to solve the issue before I give up and resort to that.
My old phone used to be able to download the satellite positions to help improve the speed at which it got signal. Does Android have anything like this?

Seems to be working, I will update if I get anywhere. It's at least showing more than one satellite now.
Didn't work.
The only solution was to take out the battery and re-insert it.

Hey all,
I am a previous Galaxy S user and now have the S III. I know my way around Android OS but am STUMPED here!
When wi-fi is OFF (mobile network), Google Play store wont render any images whatsoever. I can still get to apps, read description and buy them, but no images. Every now and then I get a "Error: no connection" error when previewing an app but when I retry it works (still no images though) - "Couldn't load Screenshots - retry"
The same is true for Foursquare and one or two other apps. I am not in a bad area - perfect reception and HSDPA.
Twitter and others do not have this problem, but the apps that do experience it are doing so continuously and without fail. I can not stop it happening, unless using Wi-Fi, which is not so often as I am moving around a lot.
I have cleared cache/data from several applications in the list, restarted phone etc etc.. I am avoiding having to do a hard reset here as much as possible as I have to travel this week and do not have time to re-do my all my apps etc etc..
Is there a way to clear DNS cache or something on these phones? It seems as though when using regular mobile network, certain apps get stuck and can't receive certain data while others have no issues whatsoever.
Please help guys - any suggestions are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Wit
Same problem man tried everthing I've managed to find. Not much on the issue the issue though.

Change the dns settings. For wifi it's in wifi in settings then press the bottom left capacitive button on the phone and edit it. I'm guessing mobile network is also more or less the same.
Use 8.8.8.8 . Always works

SUCCESS!
Champion! That was it (sort of). Mobile settings > find your providers APN > clear Proxy settings. Using google public dns 8.8.8.8 anyways - dont trust these people

Broken proxy - seems to affect all android users - since APRIL. typical.
tx buffguy!
Typical. I work at one of the SA networks. Lol let's not get into which, but this isn't the first time they missed something like this when approving firmware, and you think call centre support would know about it. Half of them run a blank when you say "Ice Cream Sandwich ". Thanks to both of you though.

I had this problem. Try this
Settings - More settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names
Then make sure you are set to Internet and not WAP
eg Mine is Orange UK Internet and I was set Orange UK WAP and it was causing images errors and all sorts
I hope this solves it for you

Sent me mental when I 1st had my S3. It worked fine with my O2 SIM and on Orange it only loaded a few images on each page.
Finally found that setting as its been fine since.
It seems like the phone defaults to Orange WAP and not Internet. The O2 SIM caused a pop-up asking me which mode I wanted to use
Just told the mrs to do the same to her s3 lol and she sends a big thanks to you

Hey buddy.
Wish I could give you a finite solution but I never really came right with this until I installed a custom Rom on my phone. Running stock I always had issues with the images in the play sore. I'm with Vodacom down here so dunno if it's network related.
If you go with a custom Rom I highly recommend the final ICS FoxHound 1.4.4 release. Been through many roms and this is by far the best as a daily runner.
Hope you come right man!

Hi buddy,
If you haven't found any solution yet:
I too am using Vodafone Mumbai network and started facing this problem quite recently (could have been just after I flashed LI5 ROM).
Anyway I scoured the net for solutions and found nothing that helped. So through some trial and error I found this solution:
Go to APN screen where you should have two APNs: "www" and "portalnmms".
Hit menu button and click on "Reset to defaults".
Then select "portalnmms" as the default APN.
Solved all issues for me!
I am having this exact same issue. Using Vodafone 3G in Mumbai on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Tried to set "portalnmms" as default APN but can't. Tried changing the "www" proxy to 8.8.8.8 but that didn't work at all. Is there a solution here?
8.8.8.8 is a dns server (powered by Google) not http proxy. You must either use your carrier's proxy settings or leave it blank
