Samsung Galaxy GPS Not Working on Rogers? Quick Fix for Canadian Users

If your Samsung Galaxy GPS is not working properly on Rogers in Canada, you may notice slow GPS lock, inaccurate routes, or apps failing to detect your location. These issues are common but can be fixed quickly with the steps below.

Step 1: Enable High Accuracy Mode

Go to Settings > Location and enable High Accuracy. Rogers devices often depend on both satellite and tower-assisted signals for precise positioning.

Step 2: Install Rogers Carrier Updates

Open Settings > Software Update and install all available updates. Rogers regularly deploys carrier patches that improve GPS stability and location precision.

Step 3: Reset Network and Location Settings

Navigate to Settings > General Management > Reset and choose Reset Network Settings or Reset Location Settings. This resolves GPS issues caused by tower switches or outdated AGPS data.

Step 4: Select the Correct Network Mode

Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks and use 5G/LTE Auto. If GPS becomes unstable in rural Canadian areas, switch temporarily to LTE Only.

Step 5: Clear Cache for Maps or Navigation Apps

Open Settings > Apps → choose Maps/Waze → Storage > Clear Cache. Rogers devices sometimes store outdated tower-assisted GPS data that cause drift.
