GPS issue

[off2fly115]

Before you ask anything, yes I'm on the latest firmware and yes, I have recalibrated my GPS on Google maps like 3 times already.
Idk why, but the Zenfone 8's GPS is hands down the worst I've ever seen 💀 like bro, I'll be driving down the highway at 70mph and boom, it'll suddenly show that I'm not even on the highway no more and tell me "It's looking for the satellite".
I live in Vancouver Washington which is near Portland Oregon so ik for a fact I don't have a connection issue. Connection is great here.
And like I said above, I've recalibrated my phone multiple times within the Google maps app.
Idk man, this phone has been nothing but disappointments. When I get a phone, I want a phone that's 100% ready and wouldn't make me run into any bug problems. I understand 100% is not always possible, so I get that. But damn, this is only 1 out of like 20 other issues I have with this phone 😂

Yeah, no. I did not spend almost $700 on a freaking phone just to have it opened up and have the main board replaced because of a GPS issue. That is f****** crazy.

serious??? my goodness, how long does the whole process take?

also just wondering, once they replace the board, will it affect the IP68 rating?

Exactly. We shouldn't have to worry about small things like this after buying a new phone 🤦‍:male_sign:
And I imagine it wouldn't take too long. Maybe a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure. I've had Asus products repaired in the past and it took 1-3 weeks.
As far as the IP68 rating, I wanna say that they will most likely install new seals before putting it back together, but sadly there is no real way to tell as far as I know. Unless you are willing to dip your phone in water and test for yourself, which I won't be doing because I don't wanna take the risk haha.
It's sad that a new phone that is less than 6 months old is already facing so many issues 🤦‍:male_sign:
