Re: Sprint Airvana "My Location" works finally, but phone still turns on randomly

Well, I haven't gotten any orange lights in weeks if not months, so I only restart it when I do the same to my modem and routers.

As far as My Location, it moves me around with every Airvana reboot, but once set, the location is completely stable unlike the phone which tends to jump around a bit. This is according to Google Maps. Still though, I'm 2-4mi away from my physical location.

Finally, it's as if my TP2 momentarily drops from the Airvana and then reconnects, causing the dreaded screen-on-full-bright situation. Have you noticed that your phone also does this once you get within range of the Airvana (or whenever you hop from tower to tower, really)? Yeah well, mine does it every 5-20 minutes.

BTW the biggest benefit for me is the increase in battery life. Better signal = less juice to power the radio!
