What happened to my Sprint Navigation??

Today all of a sudden my Sprint Navigation has switched to Sprint Navigation Lite. I just used it yesterday and it was fine then today when i pull it up it is really slow and then shows that it is the lite version and if I want turn by turn and traffic to click here and its 9.99 a month. Sprint Nav is included in my Data Everything share plan and I've never had to pay before. Tech support couldn't answer why and they wanted me to do a hard reset. I've got to back up some things first so I'm waiting. By the way, I am rooted and running the Sprint Lovers Froyo 2.2 ROM. I've been running that ROM for since I got the phone on Saturday with no problems. I uninstalled Sprint Nav and reinstalled it using a downloaded .apk. If anyone has any answers or help??

Sounds like whoever did the "Sprint Lovers Froyo 2.2 ROM" may have pushed an update to your phone. Sprint Navigator is still 100% free and full on my Touch Pro 2...so what is sounds like is someone decided they wanted lite version, and is trying to get $10 out of you. Try going back to the Stock 2.2 ROM and see if it changes.

somebody ripping you off just checked mine since the 2.2 update it now say's Sprint Navigation Premium it looks just a tad different a speak button on the bottom instead of asking to type it or speak it

I have no clue what caused that to happen, I had the same problem, removed the app, reloaded a 2.1 upgraded version and yeah went right back to light, if I can find an answer i will post back here

Google nav isn't an option for you?

I am not rooted and have the .6 update and have the same issue! This is some bullshit. Greedy ass Sprint.

Same thing here as of today on OMJ/2.2.

Google Nav is great too though...just a little different so will take some getting used to.

Buy the 9.99 version and if you get charged call in and get it taken off your bill.
