    GPS not working

    Is anyone else experiencing problems with GPS AGAIN? Was working great for a while after I installed the update now it seems like its worse than it was prior to the update. All I get now is "searching for GPS" and it never connects.

    Try going into your privacy settings and turning on "Use my location" and then under "Location and Security" and turn on "Standalone GPS" and Google location services" leave VZW location off. It helped mine.

    Ok, so the GPS worked great 2 times after fishmstr's suggestions, but now is back to not working at all. This is becoming really annoying.

    I still use GPS Status to load AGPS data, then load Maps/Nav, that gets a <30 second lock for me.

    Mine doesn't work at all. I tried using navigation and the stupid thing thought I was in a different county. It never did end up working. What an epic failure on samsung/verizons part

    Mine just stopped working out of the blue, and now the accuracy is back to a whopping 1300 meters. It was working like a charm since the update but in the last day or so, something happened.

    I had a problem with the GPS not getting a lock a couple days after the update. My fix was to power off/on the phone, and the GPS picked up right away again, and has been working fine since. Don't know how, or why, but it worked for me.
