Gps not working

RIAANUYS over 4 years ago

My gps stopped working after the recent update

Just keep saying not ready. It used to take 10-30 seconds then I get the green button but... nothing now

Wtf? How can they make *** worse by making improvements

I'm having the same problem since my GPS Version was updated to 4.50 earlier this week.
Also seems the batery is being drained faster.

Go to "about (it's under settings>system) on your watch, and scroll though things and you'll see "CPE". It should say "current". this is used to speed up GPS. If not, sync your watch.

Another thing that might help is rebooting the watch. Hold the upper right button until the watch turns itself off and then back on. That can clear up some odd things after a FW update.

same here. CPE is current. But every now and then the watch doesn't find GPS when I start an activity.

I'm also having trouble locking GPS and my CPE says expired. What do you mean with "sync your watch"? I sync it with my phone all the time

Everything looks right and sync?... every day. How else to SYNC?

Thanks

So I was to fast with this reply. Actually later my GPS failed again... then new GPS software, then I could track 1 exercise, then it failed again... I saw that behaviour 3 times. I decided to contact customer support. They e-mailed me a list of recovery instructions, none worked. THey told me it is a hardware defect. Got a RMA, swapped out the watch. I have now tracked 15+ exercises without problems. GPS software version 4.50.
