Today I went out again and tried to get a lock with no luck so I figured I would hard reset while I was waiting for the metro. This time I skipped the customizations since the phone had already been provisioned and everything. GPS worked great after that but I still have what seem to be radio issues because of the long wait to get a signal and no VZW data roaming in the metro system.

I didn't change anything after the flash aside from hard and soft resetting.
I also had no problems flashing my phone from 2.17 (locked). It didn't wipe my MDN or MSID. All the mail services work fine for me.

To get a satellite lock the first time I had to dial ##debug# (fieldtrial code) then selected GPS and it took maybe 3 minutes to fill in 4 satellites. Installed Google Maps (www.google.com/mmp) and selected USE GPS and it popped right up. TomTom won't work unless I get GoogleMaps running first, then I can exit GM and leave TomTom running. Shutting TomTom off and restarting it means starting over with GoogleMaps for some reason. ?

Only weird change I've noticed is I can no longer just press the green phone button to make a call when the phone's asleep. With 2.17 I didn't have to hit the on button first.
