Re: The gps stopped working

Can anyone try to verify what I have found? First soft reset, then turn off the cellular radio by holding the button on the top of the phone next to the ringer switch. Then use a GPS program such as Garmin XT that does not require an internet connection. I found that with the radio off I could connect with a GPS signal consisently and quickly with TomTom 7, IGo8, GPS Tuner, TrackyPro, Delorme Street Atlas Handheld, BackCountry Navigator, and Garmin Mobile XT. I tried each one successively twice and locked on to GPS without any reboots or issues. As soon as I soft reset and turned on the cellular radio I was able to lock on with Bing but before I could try another program my phone reset on its own. This happened twice. This would appear to be some sort of network issue since with the radio turned off - not connected to the network - GPS works.
