S23 Ultra problems with Google Maps
Recently got my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra from T-Mobile and all is well EXCEPT for one odd item: Google Maps shows me as “not connected” but others that I approved can see me and other apps that use ...
RESUELTO - I redid the sequence but this time I rebooted once after removing the update then a second time after installing the update. Now Google Maps is working properly. It must have been some corruption during the port-over from the S21 to this S23 and I assume that after several tries, whatever was broken was fixed by the update. Could be that the double reboots helped :-)
Thanks “Syaoran” and “tidbits” for jumping in and helping
No luck.
- Uninstalled the Google Maps update
- Cleared cache and data
- Rebooted
- Started Google Maps = still says “not connected”
- Updated Google Maps
- Started Maps = still says “not connected”
I can see myself in Google Earth, others that I authorized can see me, apps list my location and coordinates … only Google Maps is acting weird. I even tried Google Maps Go but got the same results.
The only other option I have is a factory reset, which I am trying to avoid. If something got corrupted in Google Maps when I used the Samsung app to move my S21 config to this S23, how can I completely remove it then reinstall it? Seems like it's hard-coded and cannot be uninstalled,
