Follow-UP to my first post on this topic...

20 minutes after I started this thread, I got another 4.3 update request.

I let it do it's thing....and then started GPS Test...and it is sitting there locked onto the sats
without a problem...for 30+ minutes so far. Only this one App running....

This could have been the fix coming through from Google....

Sure hope so.....!

Hi guys-

Well, we've got to start talking about the GPS failure on the second gen Nexus 7.

My GPS function goes dead after 2 minutes of operation- after a re-start.

I returned one Nexus 7 II - and this second one does the exact same thing.

Being it seems that about half the users report that theirs is working...since all units
are on the same Firmware and OS revision, it sort of has to be a hardware problem.

I'm going to return this one for a refund, as I believe that Google will re-call these from the
dealers and re-do the hardware. One doesn't want to get stuck with a dead GPS...or a GPS dongle
provided by Asus- as was done on a previous unit of theirs with a dead GPS chip.

If you have a N7 II that has a good GPS function, please write to tell us what your particulars are...
place of purchase...etc. If you've found a work-around... help!

Bob
