Samsung Galaxy GPS Not Working on Telus? Fast & Reliable GPS Fix (Canada Guide)

If your Samsung Galaxy GPS is not working on Telus in Canada, you may encounter issues like location drifting, slow GPS lock, or inaccurate routes. These quick steps help restore accurate GPS performance on Telus networks.

Step 1: Enable High Accuracy Location

Go to Settings > Location and choose High Accuracy. Telus devices use tower-assisted signals, making this mode essential for correct GPS performance.

Step 2: Install Telus Carrier Updates

Open Settings > Software Update and apply all updates. Telus frequently releases network optimizations that improve GPS accuracy and device positioning.

Step 3: Reset Location & Network Settings

Navigate to Settings > General Management > Reset → Reset Location Settings or Reset Network Settings. This clears corrupted AGPS data and fixes GPS drift.

Step 4: Switch Network Mode if Needed

Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks. If GPS fluctuates while moving between 5G and LTE, switch temporarily to LTE Only for stability.

Step 5: Clear Cache for Maps/GPS Apps

Open Settings > Apps → Maps/Waze → Storage > Clear Cache to refresh outdated location data.
