GPS signal lost on all maps related apps on S22

Hi,

About a 1-2months ago, my oldie S9 was having "gps signal lost" issues, very same like on this post https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s22-series/gps-signal-lost-in-google-maps/m-p/4934439#M59...

Therefore, I've decided that it's time to upgrade the phone, picked S22 a week ago. The phone is sublime, but the same issue still persists. I am driving a lot, and this is really frustrating, as where I am driving on maps right now is completely unreliable. My location is being lost every 30secs, and there's nothing much you can do to pick it again. All internet related location "boosts" have been tried, yet to no avail.

As I understand software upgrade for the above mentioned issue for S22 Ultra has resolved the very same issue. Perhaps, there could be something similar which could also target other S series Samsung devices? 

P.S. I've even tried to bring my phone to official Samsung warranty - they haven't found any connectivity issues whatsoever.

I would consider that, but the fact is that I already purchased the phone. It's insane how something so simple as proper location functionality can be so detrimental to company's image. A lot of my friends and colleagues are considering acquiring a Samsung device. Although after hearing my experience and what other people on the world are experiencing right now - they are having second thoughts :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Did you ever get a fix for this? I've just got a S22 last week.

Can't use Google Maps or Waze because the GPS drops out after 30 - 40 seconds of driving!
