Former Alltel users and GPS problems

[AUTOSEALS]

I am trying to get a feel for how many users out there are having problems with their GPS.

I have read over all the treads with Verizon unlocking GPS and how many other people have it working with no problems after setting the location to "ON" and running QuickGPS. I also know there are several people like myself that can never get GPS to get a lock.

From my searching I may have found the issue. It appears that Alltel customers who are now with verizon after the merge have a problem with getting locks on satalites. Even if that person changes their plan to a verizon plan they still have problems. It has to do something with how verizon sees the account and is somehow blocking still.

I have come across other forums decribing the same problem with the droid. I was hoping to see if other users on here were having the same issue as I am.

I have a verizon TP2 now, but had the same issue with the my TP.

Here is the link to the google forum about the Droid.
