I'm guessing Sprint either downloads something to your phone that disables it or they somehow track your GPS usuage - those are justs guesses of course.

Anyone have any insight as to why it will work for me one day and not the next even though I test from the same general area - 4 bars of signal, EVDO access.


Thanks

FYI - I did another firmware update this weekend - first time I could use GPS without priming it with GPS viewer - using 3.02 chef downloaded on Saturday like 5/24 - not at my home PC right now. Radio 3.35.04 PRL 60711

I thought mine was broke too, go here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26410

I can't tell you how much this helped my GPS issue!
