note 4 GPS

Only had phone for 3 weeks and yesterday is first time I tried to use Google maps to navigate.  I had strong signal but phone kept telling me GPS signal lost.   Navigation may work for a few minutes then quit, or may not find Me at all.

I have done restarts, pulled sim card, even done a factory reset. Nothing helps. Ran phone in safemode. nothing fixed the problem. Cannot take phone back to store because I am a few days past the 14 day return. If Verizon sends me another phone it will be a refurbished one.my phone is only 3 weeks old.

Here is another .strange thing. My wife has an LG G2 and it is a year and a half old. The only thing these 2 phones have in Common is lollipop.

I am wondering if Verizon is aware of this problem and if there are any updates coming soon.

Please help.

It seems I may have found the problem.  The case I was using has a metal band around the edge and that band was messing up the GPS signal.
