Re: Former Alltel users and GPS problems

Still on an Alltel plan with an Alltel TP here. Due to my last JuicyROM expiring at the end of Nov, I had to find a new one to use. I've now tried 4 different Energyroms and haven't been able to get a single one to lock on GPS. (it seems everyone else gets really fast locks on this rom)
I thought it was the ROM at first, but now that you mention it, a few days ago I got a text from Verizon that they were making changes in this area and I'd have to setup my voicemail again after they make these changes. I know I was able to get a GPS lock as recently as Thanksgiving on the Juicyrom and before Verizon's notice that they were making a changeover. I think you may be on to something here...
QuickGPS downloads without any problems, but Google maps just sits on searching forever and never locks on.

edit: guess I just had to complain about it, just went outside and pulled Google maps up again and it locked on to 6 satellites for the first time in since Thanksgiving?! Not sure what to think right now...it wasn't working 3 hrs ago when I tried it..
