Some European Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra users have reported GPS connectivity concerns on their devices. Those concerns were acknowledged by a Samsung moderator on its community forum.

Some users have reported no GPS signal while using Google Maps and Waze which gave rise to all sorts of workarounds that differ in their success in support to the issue.

Restarting their devices, resetting A-GPS functionality, calibrating the compass –– these are just some of the workarounds that the affected users have tried out while waiting for Samsung’s “official” fix on the matter.
