Samsung Galaxy Note 3 GPS Issue
Anyone else having issues with their Note 3 GPS? I'm having an issue were every time I plug or unplug the charger from my phone the GPS drops out. I have to then toggle the GPS on/off in my quick settings to get it working again while navigating. It also seems to drop the signal when I get an incoming phone call while using the navigation app. I have confirmed this same behavior on 2 other friends Note 3's. I'm hoping this is just a software issue that will be fixed in a future os update.

This is a very important app to me right behind making calls an emails
I travel a lot and depend on it for getting me to clients locations almost every day and it drops gas sometimes at critical times
Please fix soon

I am still within my 14 day window after getting my Note 3. Since the LG G Flex is coming out on Tuesday, I'm seriously considering switching to that phone.
The GPS issue is dangerous for me to have to turn off and on GPS 4 or 5 times while I'm driving in traffic to and from work. I count on Waze to find my best route home as it can mean a difference of up to half an hour each way. It also loses GPS signal while I'm out on my jogs and I'm tracking it with Endomondo. Very bothersome to have to pull out the phone, turn on GPS and back on all while trying to keep jogging.

Like many I have the same issue. ATT has eaten 2 Note 3s from me on warranty and of course this did not resolve the issue.
I am currently looking for an app that can reset gps automatically or I might write or have one written, as i am not willing to Root the phone for obvious reasons.
Other than taking calls and notes while taking calls the GPS function is the most critical for me in my business. I love this phone but I'd hate to have to buy a Garmin to solve theissue.

There were plenty versions of "Galaxy" phones before this that didn't have the problem out the box, even when Google Navigation was beta!
