Thanks for the reply. I'll try that and see. I haven't played with it yet. I NEVER have the time during the day to look at it. I never considered that as a cause because I soft reset my phone daily. I'll try a SR and turn on the GPS right away and see what happens. I find it funny that the functioning is so sporadic with my phone and yet others claim good functionality.

UPDATE:

Okay, I did as you suggested. Soft Reset. Aside from today screen apps, nothing loaded.
Turned on GPS.
Loaded Google Maps.
GM searching for satellites.
The little crosshair on the GPS today screen started flashing. I don't know whether that means it's trying to connect or if GM is communicating with it.
I have GM set to "let windows automatically manage my settings". I was in my garage with the door open when I started this.
At 2 minutes, I went and sat outside. At 5 minutes, GM gave the error message. I set it to retry.
At that time, I turned on my Holux 236 which was in the car and it got a lock in a minute and a half - COLD START!
At 7 minutes I gave up on my phone, came inside and logged into PPCGEEKS to cry.

Anyone else have any suggestions?
