QUOTE(seancorr @ Mar 3 2012, 04:10 PM) If standing outside under the sky still cannot gps lock then there is a problem. Indoors really depend on how far r u from the window haha. exactly... standing outside under the clear sky still can't get even 1 satellite.. by the way, Asus Malaysia support team is lack of knowledge... they call me up and said the GPS cannot work because Prime doesn't have place for SIMCARD ..........

QUOTE(seancorr @ Mar 4 2012, 11:03 AM) They memang dun have knowledge. Last i call in due to the reboot issue they were not aware of the problem and asked me to bring it in. Confirm waste my time bring the TP to their service centre. I can use google map and got my location using WIFI if that is what you meant. But GPS test show 0 satellite...Can u try locking onto the gps with wifi? |

QUOTE(seancorr @ Mar 4 2012, 11:39 AM) Okay it should show a few when ur outdoor. So the asus lads aren't helping at all? ??? you mean the Prime only show detected satellite when itself is connected to internet?? As I mention earlier I did test it using GPS Test without internet connection outside..  |

QUOTE(ryanlaw.cs @ Mar 5 2012, 08:07 AM) erm... agree, worst case is they will just ask you send to service center before they try hard to support you Received call from Asus again and they still claim my pad is 100% normal.. and they insist the GPS will only work with internet connectivity....  |

QUOTE(leechomin @ Mar 5 2012, 03:23 PM) It's true though, GPS on most Primes won't work without internet connectivity. So far on this forum not many can actually say they can get a lock-on to a satellite without turning on their wifi connection. no.. you may have confuse between Google map lock-on and GPS signal I meant here. If I need to load a map or get a direction, of cause I need a connection, but if I just need GPS signal, is ridiculous if connection is needed right?Added on March 5, 2012, 3:44 pm QUOTE(cursebreaker @ Mar 5 2012, 03:38 PM) although it might be true that you have to turn on wifi to use the gps, but you are supposed to be able to use the gps without the wifi turned on as well. although Asus has removed the GPS function in their specs list, but when we bought it, it was written there 'GPS', so we are supposed to get GPS! >:( CORRECT!!!  <--- is this smiley saying "POONIAHMO"?? to ASUS.This post has been edited by max_75: Mar 5 2012, 03:44 PM |

QUOTE(skinny @ Mar 5 2012, 04:42 PM) dun know, i tot only gps instead of a-gps? Nope, is not. A-GPS is ... CODE Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS or aGPS, is a system which can, under certain conditions, improve the startup performance, or time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of a GPS satellite-based positioning system. It is used extensively with GPS-capable cellular phones as its development was accelerated by the U.S. FCC's 911 mandate making the location of a cell phone available to emergency call dispatchers.[1] means better..
