So has anyone figured out why the GPS stops working? Maybe a fix?
I know some other people have had this problem. After my phone has been on for a little while, and I go to google maps and try to use GPS. It will immediately say active but then switch to looking for satellites and never find anything. And it puts my blue dot in the atlantic ocean which I think s Lat 0 Long 0. When I debug to check the GPS data, it's acting like the GPS isn't even on.

Sometimes I can fix it by going to Settings>Personal>Phone>Services tab>Location Setting and turning it off, pressing ok twice to close out the settings dialog and then repeating the process to turn it back on.

Sometimes that won't work and I'll have to soft-reset and repeat the process to make GPS work.

Any thoughts on this?
