GPS problems

[Blusun]

GPS has been really inaccurate and will lose connection for a few weeks, but now it won't find the GPS connection at all. Everything is up to date on the app. I have tried restarting watch a few times but has just been awful lately with GPS accuracy and now just getting or keeping a signal.

I must say that yesterday i notice same problem after last Fitbit android app update. week before it worked fine. I even yesterday did shut down versa and turn on but still nothing change. after 10 min wait i just give up and did use for tracking good old phone and strava.

And solution hard reset versa should be not an option if somebody come up with brilliant idea 😄 like did i buy thing that every troubleshoot is uninstall app from phone install again and hard reset versa. It is thing what should work out of box not i dont need to be bone wringer to use simple thing.

Oh, I'm not alone! Look at the track of my runs last Sunday and this morning:   

At first of all, it took way too long before GPS fixed/connected what was very unusual. Second, I noted that the measured pace was continuously dragging up and down! Fitbit app on my iPhone has been updated 2 days ago... Well, it might be something with the GPS globally, but all my GPS gadgets are working fine. Didn't Fitbit broke Versa GPS sensitivity?! I cannot recall any firmware update recently. Strange case.

N.B. Sense mates keep silence }-)

Probably most Versa 3 users dont use never GPS and also thats why they don't notice this problem. also smoother track will came with some gadget what fitbit use on maps. also if it is to cloudi or to shine then also gps track is different.

btw today android did get 1 july fitbit update 😄 i think that i have allready updated fitbit software in this month.

I tested GPS this morning. GPS fix took seconds as usual and short walk track looks nice and smooth:

Hmm, interesting, was it just a GPS glitch?

Maybe phone restart, fitbit restart, better weather, no glass buildings and high buildings near? There is many things what can make it not ok. Also fitbit add track smoother on?
