Version 3.6.3.28529 on Android

I use Nexus 7 Mk1 for SD 
On a recent flight I found the Nexus would not receive Satellite signals . I have three Nexi (!) and investigating I have found two of them do not get the signals. One works fine, as does my Asus android phone
The two faulty ones do work with PilotAware OK, suggesting that when "go flying" somehow these early Nexi have a problem with the latest release.

Hi, thanks, been using other nav apps, doesn't seem to make any difference as i think its related to location services function.
FWIW here is what i have found, much/all may be irrelevant! .........Comments please.
I noted that the problem of the location services icon seemed to be accompanied by the wifi icon dropping out transiently, sometimes with reports of no connection but subsequently working.(4.4.4)
After numerous resets, i have found that setting location mode to high accuracy(wifi, networks etc) seems to precipitate the problem.
So after reset,on setup select device only(not high accuracy), set google play not to auto update,if you subsequently select high accuracy then problems return and reset is necessary.
We'll see..............
