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

Tidbits - Yes, I was thinking about a FR. I just don't want to go through the "reload & reconfigure" process again :-) As it's just a minor inconvenience, I'll wait for the next T-Mobile/Samsung update to see if it fixes this. I haven't read about others who are seeing this problem but then again, this is a new phone. As for "rogue apps", I never sideloaded anything and the apps I use worked fine on my previous "S21 Ultra 5G". I suspect that IF an app got corrupted, it must have been Google Maps as it's the only app that is doing this.
