Thanks, but see above. Doesn't really apply to me unfortunately.

The solution doesnt mean you have to fix your Push Mail, rather, you gotta find out if any program you are using is set up to use a Data Connection Automatically. It doesnt necessarily mean you are using an email program that check automatically if you have any email. It means, you can be using a program that checks sports updates automatically (ie: Pocket Sportscenter), maybe a weather program that is checking for weather updates constantly (does not apply to HTC Weather from what I have experienced since it wont update unless you click on the weather icon), or anything along the lines if you know what I mean.

One person fixed his problems by disabling the Automatic Updates on his Seven program that checks his email. It wasnt even Windows Live but another email program. So, the point is, if you have something connecting to the internet automatically usind Data Connection, it will interfere with you GPS system on your phone, more precisely, you AGPS portion of GPS which requires a Data Connection to get coordinates.

For some reason this problem started with this New Official ROM because it wasnt present with the previous Leaked ROM.
