Just went to the official Samsung Repair shop last week. 
The staff just plugged my S22 Ultra to some cable to read some diagnostic and immidiately stated my phone's motherboard needed to be replaced. He ordered the the parts and I wiped my phone and left it at the shop (I already made a backup at home with Samsung Smart Switch).

Today I picked up the phone and was tolled, they replaced the motherboard, some sub board and the antenna.
This weekend I gonna restore my phone and use Google maps every time I need to drive somewhere, to check if the GPS issue is really gone.

I had the same thing done for my s23 ultra. The mobo was replaced for sure anyway, not sure about the sub board and antenna though.

Give it a good check, turn off Bluetooth and WiFi scanning, use the app GPS Status or GPS test, and see how many satellites you can see and fix to

I found a solution. Get an iPhone. They just work without the bugs in Samsung phones! Just replaced my Galaxy S22 waste of money. Modes & routines also does not work getting gps location in airplane mode and wifi on.  Works no problem on iPhone.

What's this nonsense? These problems were fixed long ago! There are no more bugs with GPS. I use the navigation system on my S22Ultra every day and it has worked perfectly for over half a year.

It seems that the GPS problems re-appeared with the Update from Oct. 1st, 2024.

I had the problems that GPS was working really bad some months (years?) ago - they disappeared with some update but appeared again after the Oct. 1st update.

Device: S22Ultra/Europe
