GPS doesnt work

[arty2hottie]

Ever since I updated to 4.2 goolge maps app my GPS does not work. I even downloaded gps status and it cannot pick up where I am. Any suggestions or a push in the right direction where someone has talked about this particular problem. I know people are saying their gps is not as accurate but mine does not pick up my location at all.

Try turning GPS off and then on. If that doesn't help, try power cycling the Droid. If that doesn't help try dialing *228 and reactivate (option 1). If that doesn't help, please post here.

on my droid X my gps just continues to say searching for Gps when under google navigation but never acquires it :icon_evil: what can be done?

Are you outside with a clear view of the sky? GPS generally does not work indoors. If you still can't get a signal sending it in for repair is probably the next step.

I recently had the same problem--searched for answers in this forum. Found solution: turn off phone, remove battery, wait 30 seconds, reinstall battery, turn on phone.
GPS then found.

Get GPS Status and use its tools to clear the aGPS cache. That has always solved GPS fix issues with my Droid, FWIW.

would this be the first time you're using GPS?

You really have to be in a clear area to get that signal, but once you do it should be fine inside (at least mine is.)
