Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series has received numerous positive reviews since its launch last month, even with all the unknowns that dragged the Exynos 2200 versions. All three models presented are excellent devices, especially the Galaxy S22 Ultra which has super cameras . However, it seems that everything has not gone perfectly for Samsung, because the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has problems with GPS . Is it happening to you too?
From poor accuracy to not working, Galaxy S22 Ultra’s GPS is failing
For a few weeks, different users of the Galaxy S22 Ultra have reported in the Samsung community forums that their mobile has problems with GPS. At the time of writing this note, more than 200 users have reported the problem .
What do those affected mention? In some cases they speak of precision errors, since they obtain an erroneous location that is sometimes several kilometers apart. Others have more serious problems, because the GPS simply does not connect , making navigation impossible.
The issue reportedly occurs in both the original software that comes pre-installed on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, as well as the most recent update (mid-March). The error does not seem to affect all users , but so many complaints in a short time should raise alarms from the manufacturer.
How to fix GPS error on Galaxy S22 Ultra (temporarily), while Samsung does something
As tends to be common in these types of cases, the community has found some workarounds while the manufacturer releases a definitive fix.
What do users recommend? Some people just need to restart their mobile , while others suggest resetting the APN. In both cases it seems that the error is solved, but for a short time, so the wait for a definitive official patch continues. Luckily, it seems that Samsung is already aware of the bug, so the solution should not be long in coming.
Let’s hope that the problem with the GPS is software and not hardware, since the second case would be a headache for users and manufacturers alike. Are you one of those affected?
