Samsung Galaxy GPS Not Working on T-Mobile? Latest Fixes for US Users



If your Samsung Galaxy GPS is not working on T-Mobile in the US, you may experience delayed GPS lock or inaccurate navigation due to frequent 5G transitions. These steps help fix GPS issues quickly.

Step 1: Switch to High Accuracy Mode

Go to Settings > Location and enable High Accuracy. T-Mobile’s 5G/4G hybrid network relies heavily on both satellite and tower-assisted signals.

Step 2: Update T-Mobile Carrier Settings

Open Settings > Software Update and install updates. T-Mobile regularly pushes network patches that improve GPS and Wi-Fi-based positioning.

Step 3: Reset AGPS and Network Configurations

Navigate to Settings > General Management > Reset and choose Reset Network Settings or Reset Location Settings. This helps fix GPS drift caused by tower switching.

Step 4: Adjust Preferred Network Type

Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks. If you see GPS lag while moving between 5G UC and LTE, switch temporarily to LTE Only for stable performance.

Step 5: Clear Maps App Cache

Open Settings > Apps → Select Maps/Waze → Storage > Clear Cache. T-Mobile’s AGPS sometimes stores outdated tower data after long-term use.
