Do you have problems with the GPS on your phone?

I have trouble getting a GPS lock when inside my house, and my car. With my mogul, I had no issues getting signal quickly inside my house, or car. While I rarely use the GPS on the phone, I have tried to use it 4 -5 times since I got the phone, and have only been able to get a GPS signal twice. Sprint Nav tells me there is no GPS signal. Move to an open area. Google maps is also unable to determine my location.

Under Settings>Location, I have Use wireless networks, Location Setting and Enable GPS satellites checked.

Just want to see if we have weak GPS chips, or if I have some kind of issue with the phone.

Re: Do you have problems with the GPS on your phone?

i can tell you that the mogul had one amazing piece of GPS equipment built into it. I am quite surprised to hear you got locks in your house though, as a roof is the imminent end for the GPS signal. i would assume that the coordinates were slightly off while you were inside.

as far as the hero goes, you should be able to GPS in your vehicle no problems. unless you are driving a delorean or a tank, you shouldnt experience issues.

gps is tricky business, let the guys figure out the glitches in the software. android is still relatively new, and so is the hero.

Re: Do you have problems with the GPS on your phone?

I just took an 8 hour road trip through some pretty desolate areas as well and neer lost GPS location. I used google maps the whole way with no real problems.
