10 days into using the s22 Ultra and there is a major issue with the GPS not working with maps etc. Looking at the samsung forums it's a common problem. Samsung sort this out ASAP otherwise you'll be having a lot of products returned, including mine.— Ben Rogers (@ben_rogers92) March 15, 2022
According to user reports the GPS issues are largely impacting consumers in Europe, and the affected Galaxy S22 Ultra models appear to have an Exynos SoC and it is not yet confirmed if the same issue is being faced by users with the Snapdragon version. The phone shows searching for networks when users try to use Google Maps or Waze.
Samsung is aware of the GPS issue with the Galaxy S22 Ultra and is said to be working on fixing the issue. But, the company has not yet provided a concrete timeline as to when the problem will be fixed.
A Samsung forum moderator said that “the company is aware of the problems and is working on fixing them through a software update.”
Some users have been able to fix the issue temporarily by following regular troubleshooting methods like switching on and off the phone. However, it appears to be a temporary fix as the issue appears again after some time.
