I also had this several times, seems to often happen in big supermarkets, i don’t know which signals they are sending there WIFI, Bluetooth, etc. But the combination seems to turn our SFOS device crazy. It was already reported a few times in the former forum.

It’s been discussed here to no avail.
It’s quite frustrating because it’s precisely when I’m in the countryside that I need the GPS navigation for example and that I can’t use my phone because it’s acting on its own :confused:
Apparently we’re not a lot to be impacted or nobody never goes to where the phone signal strenght is poor…
I already did several resets of the phone without improvement.
