I had the same thing today. Unfortunately, I was driving on the motorway and got lost a few times. My journey was 10 miles longer as a result. I can't believe that the fix is to reboot the phone. Not that I would have been able to do that safely anyway. Samsung please fix this urgently.

I'm also getting strange buzzing when receiving a call on Bluetooth. This is ridiculous Samsung.

I'm on the latest version (S908BXXU1AVBF)

Same here. Same problem. So annoyed for a flagship. 

Hopefully it will be fixed soon... Come on Samsung!

To everyone experiencing this issue: Please report it to Samsung to make sure they get a lot of bug reports and prioritize the issue.

So, the quick fix is to have installed the GPS Status & Toolbox app (the icon looks like an orange satellite antenna in a corner of a grey square) , once opened is not going to find any GPS signal...of course.

But if you open Menu (upper left corner, tap screen once to reveal it) then go to Manage A-GPS, it will pop a window A-GPS XTRA Data with 3 options RESET, CANCEL and DOWNLOAD. Press RESET and in a couple of seconds the GPS signal is back without the need to restart your phone.

Hlásím také tento problem. Nenajde žádné GPS. Kalibrovano opakovane. První připojení zaměří pozici, ale dal už nedrží signál a nenaviguje. Zkuseno na Google maps a Waze. Zřejmě plošný problem. Na Stare S9 vše ok. Prosím o řešení.

Unfortunately the fix that was posted using GPS Status no longer works for me - Or it was intermittent. 

Let's hope for a fix sooner rather than later !
