I am having problems with the GPS on my Verizon TP2. Is this a known issue? I was interested in using the Navigation application specifically.

Can you be more specific? It should be working, in fact on my RHOD400 (Sprint) I used the Google Navigation all weekend... it was fantastic, save that one time that the phone completely locked up while I was driving LOL!

Oh wow nice!

I am using a Verizon TP 2. I guess that is an RHOD500?? I am running the RAR version of Android v2.2 Froyo: BLAZN. Which I grabbed from the Project Android site: Downloads - Project Android

Anytime I go to use my GPS: in Navigation app, Bump, Google Maps etc. I get the GPS icon in the Notification bar. However the GPS never locks on to anything. Do I need to make any changes because I am using a Verizon phone (maybe I have a different GPS chipset)?

Ok, so it does turn on that's a good sign. Quite often it locks me somewhere off the coast of Ghana (I think it's 0 deg lat/long...) and if I wait a sec it gets my actual location.

Do you have/use QuickGPS in WinMo? I've found that if you update QuickGPS in WinMo at least every 7 days (the more often the better) that locks in Android are MUCH quicker.

Plus, I also found I need to verify I have a good lock on my actual location with Google Maps before going to the Navi app.

GPS used to crash my TP2 on verizon all the time until I deleted my data.img and rebuilt it from scratch with the latest build.

I recommend updating your build and starting with a clean new data.img file.

Really? I can see the SD card okay when using Astro. In fact, I think that's all I can access, and I can't access internal memory.

I believe the proximity sensor should be on the list (turn off screen when you hold it to your face in calls). I have my touch activated right now and am only playing with the TP2 over WiFi, so I can't confirm. But I believe that was the case when I tried it a week or so ago.

Light sensor doesn't work either, right?
