Not trying to be a smartass, but is your GPS on? There is a toggle on the first homescreen to the left...

Only mentioning that because the EVO gets the fastest GPS locks that I've received on any phone. Lots of the apps use gps and it always finds me in less than 5 seconds.

I have the Clarivue anti-glare protector if it helps you out. I like it so far. Kind of a bitch to put on, but it's static and you just use scotch tape to get the dust off. There's a video on youtube. Just search for clarivue.

So wait.. youre talking about getting a gps lock INSIDE of a building?

GPS is great for me. I've had the touch pro, touch pro 2, hd2, and none of them would lock very fast. EVO's GPS locks in less than 10 seconds, if even 7 seconds. (inside my house)

I got it at 10am. I was in line for 2 hours........ I have not put it down since.... I just got it to tether.... I love it....... I will miss my TP2 keyboard. RIP TP2... EVO is taking over....

[racerx123]

haha yes, in my OP i stated that my GPS was indeed turned on. YES i am inside a building but my TP2 would always get a lock in the same spot. anyway i'll see how it goes as i get ouf of here.

Is there an application like Quick GPS for Android?

[racerx123]

ok my GPS works normally. what really irks me is that, after shutting down programs like QIK, and sprint nav, not only can i NOT remove them, after a while, they re-appear in Advanced TAsk Killer as an app to kill. to that, wtf?

[TheHoard]

I've used Sprint Nav twice today already and both times it worked flawlessly and got a satellite lock immediately. Definitely the fastest satellite lock I've ever seen. My HTC Touch would take forever to get a lock, especially with Google Maps. Haven't tried Google Maps on the Evo yet though...
