            @Phil-Powell Perhaps a hard reset is all that is left to do for me also.

              Let me help. If you are on latest software it will show processing once the sync is done.

              I am suspecting that sony has issues with updating the agps. Reporting this.

                @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos on the app is says optimizing GPS after syncing activities and resources etc. It takes a fairly long time and when its done I see a green check mark. It does this every sync. I think it only did the optimizing GPS once a day before this issue occurd.C945D1A9-B889-4EF8-BF82-0E66284AAC0D.png D9ABA597-EB69-49FE-9AC0-75B581E8995D.png

                  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos now I have the newest A-GPS file. Not sure if it is related but after changing the setting to GPS only an syncing I got the file.

                    @Richard-Thygesen This happened to me as well a couple of days ago. Did the same as Richard Thygesen. Changed to gps only and Agps updated almost directly.

                          @Richard-Thygesen that’s what mine was already set on. Since doing the factory reset it seems to be working 100% quicker/better so far

                              Just an update. It seems to work after changing to GPS only. I got the new a-GPS file this morning.

                                Well now I don’t get the newest A-GPS file again. This is annoying. I’m out of ideas. Has anyone found a solution?

                                  @Richard-Thygesen yesterday there were issues with Sony distributing the AGPS files, maybe related.

                                    I got it yesterday and then did a soft rest after @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos wrote us to do that and after the soft restart I got the file directly after syncing with SA app. Today I didn’t get the new file. I’ll wait a couple of hours and see what happens.

                                      @Richard-Thygesen I didn’t get the file either, and there are other people complaining so it is most probably related.

                                        I don’t have AGPS too. Did a cold start, it took around 30 seconds and then the GPS seemed ok (tested it only via POI navigation for a while).

                                        Also, I did a soft-reset yesterday which went as usual and did it today too as I’ve seen no AGPS despite SA sync and an hour or so later it was still N/A. This time after soft-reset the watch displayed a low-battery indicator and didn’t restart until I connected it to the charger, weird as it had ~40% of battery left.

                                          @Łukasz-Szmigiel let it be without agps.

                                          Maybe it’s better for now. If I understand correctly it’s a sony fuckups on the predictions. It just will take time to find gps at first run.

                                          Let it outside on the balcony etc for a while and then go for a run.
