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.

just finished testing.  i have 3 very specific spots within a mile that broke gps.  for the most part, it looks fixed.  HOWEVER, it did drop in 1 of the 3 spots, but the gps reestablished itself within about 10 seconds, or about 1 short block of around 40 yards or so.  i went around that circle pattern 3 times and each time i got the same results, fixed for the most part but still drops in that same exact spot ... only to recover very quickly.

caveat: that spot is well know in this area for very poor reception, if any at all.  that may have something to do with it, but i would think gps is separate from all other connection types.

im going to stay on this distribution list until others have a chance to verify.

Phone GPS's typically rely on bothe GPS signal and data connection for quick updates.  I wouldnt be surprised to see a dead spot cause issues for any phone.

Did you check battery performance?_ What about the read only external SC Card issue?

The only way I could faithfully reproduce this was to get a GPS lock first then plug in a charger.  This would without fail kill the GPS.  Just tried it now and the GPS lock is still there!  I'll test later in my car but so far looks good!
