+1 same issue
anyone? ................
my google maps works, this only happens on my google navigation GPS thing
did you clear app data>uninstall>reinstall?
i dont care for google nav any way, it seem problematic on the captivate. a few times it worked perfectly and other times it causes the gps to crash on some roms. on others the positioning becomes eratic one trip not the next. the most stable my gps has been on a nav program is with navdroyd.
I was noticing the same problem when Google maps did a recent update. Try going into the market place and uninstall the update. If that doesn't work try upgrading to a 2.2.1 rom like Preception or Darky's. When I went from a 2.2 to a 2.2.1 it seemed to fix the problem.
I was having this problem with navigation. It stopped after I went into places and did a navigate from there. After that I could go into navigation without the issue.

I also did something similar to this. Instead of Places, i picked a random location from within Google Maps (long press) and then chose to navigate to it. Worked fine after that.

I noticed that Google Maps Navigation is not speaking street names very randomly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I can't seem to pinpoint why. A temp fix is to swipe away the navigation in Recent Apps, and then re-do the navigation. Is anyone experiencing a similar issue?

I'm with you here, sometimes it'll just say "Turn left.....turn right..." etc. I seem to notice that it happens on return trips, not on the trip to the destination, but I'm not exactly hard science observing/recording things either. I haven't tried different map programs (MapQuest, Scout, Waze, etc.) to see if they do it too.

I have noticed it too. Clearing the cache for Google TTS also is a temporary fix as well as a reboot. After the phone has been on for a while, there seems to be some sort of 'switch' that makes navigation not say street names anymore. I've tried many different things and have still not found a solution. Very frustrating.
Hey, so lately Google Navigation has been rerouting my trips for no reason. It almost seems like if I hold the phone a certain way it thinks that it's going in a different direction. The issue is becoming very annoying. I'm on PA currently, and might switch back to stock and see if it still happens.
Hi
I am having an issue with my UK based Samsung S22 Ultra. The GPS stops working on it, no map app can use GPS until I restart the phone and then it starts working again.
I found this thread on the samsung.com which seems to other users having the same issue.
S22 Ultra problems with GPS
No GPS signal, but my Note 9 had no problems!
eu.community.samsung.com
I've tried turning location services on and off and setting performance to maximum but still the same issue persists. Would be very grateful for any ideas
Thanks
Imran
Wouldn't be the first time, Was it the note10 there was a Issue when device went to 5G it would kill the GPS and i would not reconnect without a reboot.
Only a few experienced the issue, myself included. It took way more effort than what it was worth to log it with samsung and for them to admit there is a fault and they are looking to patch it in the next update.
Yes, remember hearing about the note 10. This seems slightly different
After a period of inactivity, and the GPS stops working. After a restart it works again.....Really disappointing.
I can confirm the same issue. Only assisted GPS works (i.e. when near wifi/bluetooth devices), but pure GPS sensors don't work until restart.
check permissions for GPS for trashy apps and block it all, allow for Gmaps or gps test app only. reboot and test again.
Same problem here...
From another forum (Haven't tried it myself)
Quick fix is to have installed the GPS Status & Toolbox app (the icon looks like an orange satellite antenna in a corner of a grey square) , once opened is not going to find any GPS signal...of course.
But if you open Menu (upper left corner, tap screen once to reveal it) then go to Manage A-GPS, it will pop a window A-GPS XTRA Data with 3 options RESET, CANCEL and DOWNLOAD. Press RESET and in a couple of seconds the GPS signal is back without the need to restart your phone.

Doesn't work for me.
Same here. Uk exynos. Gps only is all over the place. Poor fixing. Google maps location sits grey for an eternity. If I put WiFi on it jumps to my correct location but gps only is really bad
Really strange, which apps are you using that kill your GNSS?
My S22U Exynos gets some satellites even indoors (my Note 10 not) and with Orux, GPSTest and YGPS I can stop and use it several times and it keeps working again.
The accuracy is good, the only thing is the accuracy when logging with the display off (but this another topic from another thread).
Disable all power management... destroyer of worlds.
Try clearing the system cache.
Easy fixes if they work... many times they do.
I have the same problem, after a few hours the GPS signal stops working.
I tried using the GPS Test app and it can't find any satellite, Google Maps says "GPS search in progress" and it stays that way.
From recovery I tried to do a cache reset and an app repair but it didn't help.
If I restart the phone the GPS works perfectly, GPS Test app finds 30 satellites immediately, after a few hours it stops working again.
I remember reading about this on a Samsung Korean forum. Seems to be a known issue which I hope Samsung can fix with a software update. The first time it happened I got lost and ended up going 20 miles out of my route because the damned thing gave me the impression that it was working after initially saying "GPS signal lost" and I just carried on. A reboot fixed it but I don't know if/when it will happen again.
I have received a second March update since then so fingers crossed that Samsung have fixed the issue.

So it is not about starting different location apps several times? Is it just a question of time and suddenly it stops working?

That's right, after a few hours the GPS stops working and to make it work again you have to restart the phone.

It's likely either power management, an incorrect setting or a 3rd party app.
Try safe mode.
Look for what apk cache register when it happens, guilt by association to catch it.
My issue of location sitting grey in google maps. I found if I shut down maps and immediately reopened my location would turn blue straight away.
I have since uninstalled the maps update and now get blue location almost immediately every time I open maps.

Have you tried with programs like "GPS TEST" to see if it finds the satellites?
When the phone restarts the GPS works but after several hours the GPS stops working until the phone is restarted.
I have a 6 hour long drive coming up in a week. Is the best workaround for this issue for now to restart the phone every hour or so? I damn well don't want to get lost
