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
I've been having the same issues. I noticed that my mobile network signal connection has been very bad, range of -100 to -115 which is poor connection. I will be on Google Maps and my icon moves all over the place when I'm just sitting in the parking lot. It says low accuracy when it use to say high accuracy. The arrow doesn't point in the direction my phone is facing. I'll be following navigation directions and it tells me to turn when very late when I already have passed or it freezes up and it doesn't update move in time. I will be driving and it tells me GPS signal lost and then it comes back. My icon will be flying all over in parking lot, in store, then across the street. Never had this issue before. Sometimes it super accurate and working without issue, but I think it always connecting and disconnecting since the signal is bad for some reason. And my areas coverage is all 5G and never had problems before.
