UMI I'm expecting some help from you.
My GPS still not working and it is very important phone feature for me.
Is it hardware or software problem? Maybe you want some check, test from me?
I have looked inside the phone and GPS antena looks like be connected to metal body /frame of the phone

Hello
I have opened my Hammer S; It is very easy, just unscrew the ten tiny screws , remove battery,, sim and SD card.
I have those pictures : 1 st PICTURE : the whole plastic (reversed)
2nd PICTURE : zoom to the contact to motherboard and the contact to the external metal body of the phone.
3rd PICTURE : That is why there are to bits of plastic on the upper metal body : the upper part is a GPS antenna (and maybe bluetooth antenna also).

So at first my GPS didn't run very well. Now I have screwed it tight, and it works (12 seconds to get the position).

tinorossi17 thanks for Yours pictures, I've also unscrew plastic frame as you advised, but everything looks good inside, after screw it back nothing happened. GPS still not working.
In your case there was any problems loose connection inside?

Dear, could you please install a GPS TEST app on your phone, then take your phone to the open field , turn on your GPS, GPS TEST app and data traffic at the same time to observe whether the GPS TEST APP could detect GPS signal?

Of course I installed GPS Test, but it din't work.
And after two weeks, it still doesn't work, even after that I screwed my GPS antenna. I am very deceived with that phone, actually I am going to sell it and buy a Samsung, because I need a working GPS.
