GPS Calibration??

[salgal1313]

Hello, all.

I am curious if there is a way to calibrate the GPS on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active.

Somehow, GPS seems to think I am miles away from where I actually am at times - for instance, checking in at the gym on Foursquare, the phone thinks I am still at home 2.1 miles away...and when I am using shopkick it thinks I am at work, 25 miles away...and even on google maps for directions the phone thinks I am in places that I am not...Using my different star/sky apps is the same thing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
This is a brand new phone...never dropped (unless it was dropped in the box pre-my-purchase).

This may sound stupid, but...
1) Is FULL GPS activated?

2) Do the apps you're trying to use have permission to activate the GPS?

3)Do you have a case that might be blocking the signal?

That's all I've got

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, GPS is on fully and all apps are allowed to use it. Went to the ATT store and they could not come up with an answer either. It might be tied into another error message that I keep getting "wireless unstable" although I am not sure why they would be linked (or why either is happening). thanks for the feedback!
