Hi guys
i have a big problem with the GPS, i lost the signal every min in outdoor and he got difficulty for download the signal.... do you know any fix for these? Thanks a lot for any answer Tyrigi.
PS: sorry for my bad english im italian D:
Hello, I have the same issue: even in good conditions (static with a clear sky), it takes a long time to get a fix and then it is always losing it. I had not this issue on my former HTC Desire.
I tried to reset the phone (not factory reset only restoring default settings without removing user data) but without success.
Do you have this issue too ? Or can that be an hardware failure ?
Thanks for your answers before I contact the customer service.
Have the same issue! Got an x10 before that had no problems with the GPS. Same location of the two phones. X10 mini pro works, sk17i not.
Have loss of network issues with the sk17i too.
Hardware problem or not, thats the question... Have installed fasterfix for speed up the GPS positioning.
No differences detected.
I'am from Germany with t-d1 provider. Not a branded handset, just retail.

I've got the same issue ...
I've got a X10 mini pro without any issues with GPS ... but with 2.3.3 stock ROM on my SK17i, GPS signal was lost so many time in completely cleared area !
I updated my SK17i to the UK 2.3.4 provided by wotan and i've got less of issues !!!
...for the moment but i'm testing yet ...
Thanks for the info about less issues with the 2.3.4 firmware. I'am still waiting for an update. Have the CID 1244-7088 and no update since the official anounced global roll out
Want to do a upgrade installation. It is no fun to me to install all of the apps again. hope it will be better with the signals in 2.3.4.

Good evening. I have a problem with my phone. My firmware is V20E official. After updating to it, I noticed that GPS is not working properly, sometimes even not working at all, so I wanted to ask if someone knows how to fix it. Thank you.
Hi all,
I've recently ordered a Xperia Go. Now I read that this phone has problems with GPS, Is this phone good enough for outdoor GPS tracking ? I use Runkeeper as tracker app.
I hope to receive some usefull replies. Thanks !
Someone ?
The GPS @Go is working perfectly fine - no problems.
I bought mine last week... I bought my XGO for running and biking.. but it locks gps position way too long (almost not usable, more or less 20 minutes). I tought I just need to update to ICS inorder for the gps locking to improve. After updating and tested it in different location (no obstacles, standing still) it still lock position too long (I looked like a callboy standing in the street rofl
May be I am just unlucky with my phone or just got a unit with gps issues
I already sold my xperia go in less than a week, but somebody on the internet told me that his XGO is working fine. Maybe this weekend, I will check his phone and test its GPS signal... if it is really fast.. then I will ask him that I will buy it ^_^
XGO side is just enough for me.. not too big and not too small for any outdoor activity
no no NO!! BIG NO!!!

I hope I am not to late with my answer...
but dont buy the XPERIA GO if you wish to use an accurate GPS.
I have bought mine because I wanted to track my rides.
but it is way to inaccurate and non-useful:
it takes more then an hour to get a fix,
even when stationairy under an unblocked sky.. it gives me 13 km in half an hour.. with a mx speed 137 km/h.
it loses track all the time
I 've sent it back to sony TWICE!!! nothing changed.
I ve the latest version (build 6.1.1.B.1.54) ... only slightly better.
do I need to say more? do not buy this phone for its GPS functionality!
my 3 year old HTC legend performes better!
(btw: .. the watertightness is fabulous )
Hi everyone,
I´ve recently bought a Galaxy S6 Edge (G925F)and I am very shocked by its very bad GPS reception. I tried using FasterGPS and set a nearby NTP server (i.e. north america) and also to download aGPS data, to no avail.
Actually, the GPS is able to fix in quite a short amount of time but then, for some strange reason, it is unable to maintain the GPS fix!
I noticed that if change the Location Method from "GPS, Wifi and mobile", to "GPS" only, the drop seems to be less disruptive - instead of putting me in the middle of the ocean, the maps seems to block for a couple of seconds.
I started to think that it was software issue, but changing firmware version or kernel did not help it at all. This is very unfortunate because this is really not acceptable GPS quality for a phone this costly and otherwise awesome.
Using stock firmware: COH2 (XEU). Rooted and using kernel from Alex-V (v1.3)
Anyone else having this issue?? Any ideas on how to solve it?
P.S: I thought of returning it ... but I already rooted it and love the phone
cheers,
-Francisco
Hi,
I have a same problem with my G925F
Hi! I bought HU for my bmw e46 and unfortunately my excitement about it soured a bit, when I realised that my wifi wouldn't turn on at all... I wasn't worried that much because I was gonna use 3g huawei modem anyway to have independent internet for the unit. Unfortunately it doesn't work either, because by instructions you need to turn wifi on as well... I had impression that it was software issue and tried looking for solution. I came across PPP widget, but as there is no way to get connection I cannot access play store and install through apk doesn't work. I then decided to give it malaysk rom with hope that this would solve my Issue, but it didn't. Its all the same. This must be a hardware issue with wifi adapter by my assumptions, but why dongle is not working when it has nothing to do with wifi? Does anyone know how to get 3g working? I just want my 3g and I dont think I'll need wifi that much. Also does anyone have stock 5.1.1 rom for eonon? I tried backing up, but it went wrong and I cannot reverse it in case Id need to send it back. Thanks for help in advance!
