    Hi
    have an s7 about a year now.
    A few days ago the Google maps stopped working.
    It constantly says - searching for gps.
    Really need to get it sorted.
    Internet works fine, travel around a fair bit and have good coverage most of the time on Vodafone network, so im fairly sure its not a coverage issue.
    Any ideas ?

    Many thanks

    I had a similar problem before. A factory reset sorted mine!

    Use this to reset the GPS Stack.

    Then wait about 3 minutes with a clear sky above it.

    Fixed.
    For anyone having the same problem and come across this, i called vodafone and they updated vpn settings from their side as some were missing , turned phone off and on as they instructed, and all working perfect since..

    Why won't my S8+ automatically select a network when I move from Country to Country. It all has to be done manually and can sometimes take ages . Am I doing something wrong . Auto connect is showing in the Network mode section and Network Operators>Select automatically is selected. My S7 never had this problem. I'd gladly have it back if I could

    Any ideas anyone!!!!

    If this subject has already been covered could someone point me to it. Thanks
