My gps never really worked that accurately but now it refuses to work.

My wife started geocaching and man her iphone 5s is spot on with gps.

Any way of trying to fix mine? (Eg stupid software bug)

Are there any Android that works like an iPhone? Recommend me one

My nightmare is over for now.

When I realised all third party apps were locking spot on with gps

I looked at why Google maps would not use gps.
To be more accurate it would use gps as the Icon will flash, then gps will lock (solid icon) but nothing happens on maps. Still waiting.

Installed all updates. Nothing.

So I uninstalled maps and reinstalled maps. Works like a treat.

My love hate relationship continues.

I hate Android!
