What are the symptoms?
Your GPS won’t activate, Temporarily unable to make a connection, losses connection or track of your position as soon as you start moving, unable to lock on to a GPS satellite.
Here are a couple steps you can take to hopefully remedy this issue before you go to Sprint and demand a replacement phone.
Method #1:
1. Go to Menu< Settings
3. Reboot the phone
4. Goto your dialer press *#1472365#
A pop up window will appear asking to turn on GPS. Turn it on.
5. Click the setup button
6. Click Position Mode
7. Click Operating Mode
8. Set to MSAssisted. It seems that Sprint added the options for aGps but by default it is off.
9. click back arrow once
10. Click Starting Mode
11. Set to Cold
12. Click Back arrow 4 times
Reboot the phone
Method #2:
From your phone screen type in ##GPSCLRX# and enter your MSL(directions for getting your MLS HERE). Press the button that comes up. The screen will just go black after you press it, and there is no notification that it worked. After this, GPS should be working flawlessly again. However, this causes a bootloop the next time the phone is loaded up. I simply did a factory wipe from recovery and the phone booted fine after that, and the GPS was still working.
If this doesn’t work, I suggest hopping up and down 3 times, clap your hands twice and shout “ABRACADABRA!” very loudly once. If this doesn’t work, seek help… from Sprint.
