GPS signal lock issues in Samsung Galaxy S2? How to fix?




I can't get a GPS signal lock. GPS Status can indeed see the sattelites but my Samsung Galaxy S2 can't lock a signal. Anyone else having this problem? How fast can you get a GPS signal lock?

    Try the following in your Samsung Galaxy S2 and tell us if it helped:

    1) turn off the wifi- and cell based gps support (this doesn't help you much and sends your pos data to big G)
    2) download "GPS Status & Toolbox" app from the market
    3) download the actual satellite vectors with this tool (this you will have to do regularly, around once a week)
    4) go out, start your nav app, do NOT move (easier for the GPS to get a fix)
    5) come back in and tell us if that helped.
