GPS not working on Thing 91 in the UK - URGENT

Hi,

I have bought a Thingy 91 and have connected to the nRF cloud etc. and I am getting the sensor data OK.

The GPS is still not working, I have followed the instructions and it says waiting for GPS data.

This is rubbish and if I don't get this working soon will return for a refund as the product does not work as stated.

I did connect with LTE Link Monitor and there was a connection to the Telefonica network and I can see the GPS details there but not in the nRF cloud.

Please can you help to get this resolved.

Thanks

  • Jonathan,

    I tried the GPS project in samples/nrf9160/gps to avoid the affection from LTE(or power saving modes to switch between LTE and gps). The GPS still has no fix. Following is the log and it is tracking 0, 1, 2

  • Hi Face,

    I will move the conversation about your problem over to your original ticket on devzone and close this ticket as your problems does not seem to be related to this case anymore.
