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 GPS have no problem.

  • Google maps does not show me on the map and doesn’t pinpoint me.
  • Others that I approved can track me and see me.
  • Problem is present while on T-Mobile’s cell network or on any Wi-Fi.
  • Using the most current S23 Ultra firmware from T-Mobile.
  • All settings are like what I had with my previous “S21 Ultra 5G”.
  • Rebooted several times - same problem.
  • I uninstalled the Google Maps update - same problem (can’t delete the core app)
  • I reinstalled the Google Maps update - same problem.

What am I missing here? 

  • 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
