About LinkBacksHey guys, I came from my OG Droid and love my GNex. However, there's one issue I've noticed and don't know what's causing it. At first I thought it was my phone so I went to the Verizon store and tried to replicate the problem using their floor model and it too had the same problem. Here's the issue:
When I boot-up my phone, I go into navigation and enter a location. I get the message 'searching for GPS,' which is normal. What's not normal is that it seems to get stuck there or take up to five minutes to find the GPS. Like I said, the floor sample did the same thing.
To further diagnose the problem, I tried the same test on the Razor floor sample. It found the GPS right away.
There's either a problem with the GNex's antenna, an ICS bug or a bug in Google Maps.
Can you guys try this test on your phones and let me know if you see what I'm talking about. It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

12-20-2011 03:38 PMit takes a little longer for it to lock the GPS when starting the Nav app, like 30 sec. definitely not 5 min.

12-20-2011 03:54 PMI was concerned about the GPS since Samsung is notorious for having GPS problems.
Today was the first time I actually tried it. I don't use Google maps, just the navigation. It works just as well as it did on my Motorola Droids. -

12-20-2011 03:59 PMAre all of you trying this from boot? Turn off your phone, boot it up and then try the navigation. That's when I'm seeing the problem

12-20-2011 04:55 PMWhat I mean is, try it right after you boot. It seems to have a problem finding the GPS when the phone is first turned on. Originally Posted by captdroid
