Several users of a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra report problems with GPS. As a result, the device is unable to determine its location. Complaints are pouring in on a Samsung forum, but a simple work-around is available.
Because simply restarting the S22 Ultra seems to be sufficient. It is a temporary solution until Samsung fixes the problem with a software update. Something that seems only a matter of time because it samsung-forum on which users can report complaints is filling up.
Most users get a message on the screen: “searching for GPS”. GPS is short for Global Positioning System; a global network of satellites to determine your exact location. Indispensable when using navigation apps. The problem seems to arise after prolonged inactivity and can be fixed with a simple restart. Why of the S22 series only the Galaxy S22 Ultra is affected by this problem is unknown.
GPS bugfix
As far as we can find out, Samsung has not yet officially responded to the above problem. Given the temporary remedy, it seems that a bug fix in the form of a software update will help. When it will come is unknown. The Ultra is the most extensive S22 model and therefore of sufficient importance to get Samsung to work quickly.
