12.1 Why can't my phone's GPS search for a satellite?


Make sure you are not in an enclosed area (for example, a room on the first floor of a tall
building, a small area surrounded by tall buildings, or an underground garage) because
these block the satellite signals. Take your phone to an outdoor area and enable the data
service to quickly receive GPS signals. Do not touch the upper right corner of your
phone where the GPS antenna is installed.

Make sure your phone's protective cover is made of plastic or leather rather than metal,
because a metallic cover blocks your phone's signals.
12.2 Why can't a third-party application map load the map
data?
Ensure the network connection is working. A slow network speed may result in data loading
failure.
12.3 Why doesn't the installed third-party positioning
application locate correctly?
The location information of a third-party positioning application is provided by the third-party
provider if there is no GPS signal available. It can result in incorrect positioning. Use another
application and try again. Take your phone to an open area and try again.

12.4 Why is the compass inaccurate?

The compass may not be calibrated. Open a compass application (map or compass) and move
your phone in a figure 8-pattern.
