> Vivaz GPS connection problem
Bookmark topic
Hi all,
Until recently, the GPS connection of my Vivaz was working OK. Slow to startup (some 2-5 minutes depending on weather) but it was connecting OK and Ndrive as well as the "Location" software provided as standard with Vivaz were working seamlessly with the GPS antenna.
However, now neither can find any GPS signal. Both software see the GPS antenna but "waiting for GPS signal" as well as "No connection" are there to stay for ages. Restarting, swearing etc didn't give any results.
Any ideas/suggestions on how to reset this thing? (apart from installing latest firmware which means settings, apps etc must be redone from point zero)
Rgds

Found a solution that worked for me:
Probably abit late now but I had the same problem and now have it working, may be useful for other users? got this from Sony's forum:
"the instructions: the green and red buttons are the physical buttons on the front of the case, not on the touch screen. Green is bottom left (with a tiny green phone symbol above it) and red is bottom right (tiny red phone symbol above it).
To fix the assistance data:
press R G R R G R. (Note two reds in the middle)
Go to "Service tests " option
Go to "GPS" option (oh, the list isn't alphabetically sorted)
Select "Purge Assistance data"."
Worked for me
