i am facing no GPS signal recently and i thought it was my phone problem. previously, it was fine and the GPS problem happened just 3 weeks ago.
Good to know i am not the only one facing such issue. I suspect umobile did something to their AGPS setting maybe, but not sure.

Actually how is the hotspot data counted? Is this only available under the Broadband plan?

I am thinking of subscribing to their plan and using a usb modem, plug it to a router and share the connection as wifi to other devices?
i think some router supports this kind of function but for umobile plans is this possible?
How will the data be counted under this arrangement?

i am using moto x style. didn't used to had such a problem before until like 3-4 weeks back and i thought it's time to change phone
Luckily i came about your post.

And i've been using 3G-only all this while (since umobile's 4G is not that fantastic).
Anyways, will see if there are other settings on the phone which i can tinkle around.

Have you tired using an app called GPS Status to clear the internal GPS state and re-download a-gps data? i saw this solution being recommended on the Waze help page, but so far the problem persisted.

Not trying to "cheat" them. Actually looking for better alternatives to my current lousy Streamyx service and was thinking since i am their user tempted to give their broadband a try. And while at it, since my home network is already setup to the current wifi router which i just bought and have this dongle port, maybe i can fully utilize this feature.

Btw, hotspot way means data is counted differently and not from the allocated quota, i.e. 12GB for their rm68 plan?

another questions is if i tether from my phone and more than one device is connected, is this also considered hotspot?

sorry for my noob questions.

one general question:

does AGPS signal comes in from WIFI as well?
I did a test using WIFI connection and ran waze as usual on my phone, but it's still showing the "No GPS. Showing approximate location" message.
