service over a packet data connection. The access point
for A-GPS can be defined in positioning settings. A
wireless LAN (WLAN) access point cannot be used for
this service. Only a packet data internet access point
can be used. Your device asks you to select the internet
access point when GPS is used for the first time.

If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
●
Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS
●
antenna of your device.
If the weather conditions are bad, the signal

●
which may block the satellite signals.
