The new Nexus 7 has problems with GPS

The truth is that the new Nexus 7 is still one of the most prominent players in recent times. First because it is a new member in the family of tablets and smartphones from Google and that's always welcome, and second because they are having the same fate as the first of the Nexus 7.


The first alarm came with its rugged test results in the fall where the new Nexus 7 does not survive the first try, then when we heard the price could go in Spain (change $ 1 = 1 €) and today, we comes the bad news that the GPS is giving some headaches for the Mountain View and not working as expected.
And is that one of the first (lucky) owners in the U.S. of a new Nexus 7 is complaining of problems when using the maps or the navigation tool is that, after a complete operation for periods ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, the application updates the position and leaves working, leaving the icon "searching satellite" relentlessly blinking without ever recover the signal.
Obviously, when this problem occurs reset the tablet users and sometimes serves to fix although in most cases it is not and the GPS signal is kept completely hanging. Being a device that has a few days of life, some buyers are returning the drives with but after opening the new Nexus 7 are finding that the problem persists.
These errors have reached the ears of Google (and Asus) has not yet said what could be causing this crash continuous GPS. For the sake of all units sold hopefully the problem is in the software with a simple patch everything is in anything ... although that randomness and restart sometimes works and sometimes not sobering. Do not you think?
