GPS seems to have stopped working on my Vivacity. When I try to switch on (Location / security settings > Use GPS satellites) the icon flashes 5 / 6 times then just disappears... I've tried it in various locations but no go? Ive even removed the battery saving app in case that was switching it off.

Any ideas most welcome

Thanks

If it's not staying on long enough for apps to get a fix, try this app?

Just tried that thanks, however unfortunately doesn't fix the problem...  Seems strange because it was working fine last week (CoPilot)

Maybe try the new ZTE (Vivacity) update, i just did mine and it ironed out a few niggles that i had.

Funnily enough, mine is doing this, GPS is flashing a few times and not locating me, I thought it was a problem with the ROM, will give that fix a go and see if that helps

Hiya guys, mine has the same problem - the GPS icon keeps flashing, but the phone cannot find any satellites. Tried going back to factory settings and switching to different ROMs but no luck. Any advice welcome
