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.

So... the countless 99.99% of us that have done independant tests with various GPS softwares and have verified time and time again that there has been a night & day improvement are just wrong?

Well.. I'm up to just about 1000 miles of cycling using Mapmyride and Osmand+, since the update, with 0 GPS errors, including the MS150, a 175 mile trek from Houston to Austin. The fix is so clear and apparent to me that anyone who is still having problems must have a different issue with their phone.

So far I have only had the GPS power off issue once, and I really think it was a fluke, than an issue since the KK update. Not bad, I would have been happier if it would have been fixed sooner though

I have a Galaxy S4 Active that has had GPS issues since January's updgrade to 4.3. After multiple contacts with ATT, I read this entire thread and noticed there has been some success with changing the SIM card. Today, I replaced my SIM card and went for a drive. In locations where I previously lost signal, the signal was strong and steady.
My plan is to try the GPS all week and see if the signal drops. I will report back if there are any changes.

GOOD NEWS! So I've been watching this thread for quite sometime and dealing with bad GPS on my SG Note 3. Today I finally got my SIMM card swapped out and I'm happy to report that anytime I checked my actual location on google maps it was within 5-10 feet of being correct whereas before my location was off by 40 or 50 feet. I did watch my "moving" location while I was driving and it strayed and "jumped" around a bit but when I can to a stop it caught up to me and was almost on the money. So far I'm very happy that I got my SIMM changed. I will report back back after a week or two with an update.
