GPS broken?
-
I could've sworn GPS was working, but after I got lost not having my handy map app (pure maps) I downloaded and noticed neither it nor Morph connected to GPS. Any steps/known issue/is it just me?
-
@totalrando Just takes a while on first connection due to not having the A in AGPS.
-
@povoq ok I will try to restart and leave map on

-
@povoq 20 minutes with Pure Maps on a windowsill and no dice. No apps approve location in settings. Is there a way to ping my phone to ensure GPS isn't broken?
-
@totalrando Even a windowsill may not get a good enough signal. Repeat the test outside.
-
@cliffcoggin ok will have to do that in a few hours then.
EDIT: would you believe this turned GPS on?
-
It happened to me that the GPS broke, in this case if you check the system settings, something like privacy and then location you should find a list of apps with switches to grant them access to the GPS data.
When the GPS crashed on my phone, nothing was available there to modify.
It was fixed with a hard reboot.

@totalrando I can believe it because I have known an OTA update to turn off Location Detection in the past.
