Is your GPS on?

Is it set to high accuracy ?

Any magnetic protective case?

I've merged your posts, noticed that you posted on another thread that wasn't not relevant to your issue.

Yes the GPS is on and set to high accuracy and the phone does not have any magnetic cover on it...

Did anyone ever find a solution?

I have tried all the options and currently backing up my phone and will transfer files to computer hard drive.

Then will try a factory reset and see if that fix the problem.

@Salik2

The next step is to contact your Local support to get it inspected/repaired.
