1.03.15f

based on what Freeza said above, im screwed... could i upgrade to see if that fixes it? Does this mean it is a hardware problem or what, why would it work so well and then just one day not?

sorry I didn't see this thread earlier.. I also had this problem on juicy 4.11, but It went away when I uninstalled live search. not sure what the problem was, but I believe it's the newer ver(s) of L.S.

I dont even think I have MS live search on my phone, what is the EXCACT name that it appears in the program folder (or better yet where on device is the exe stored, the shortcut may be deleted.)

I updated the quick gps and so far so good, I will report back if its a for sure fix or not.

the lock for 5 seconds then soft reset happened to me on mightyrom 4.12...

i actually installed memmaid and it messed with some registry settings, not sure what but reflashed the rom, didn't mess with memmaid at all and have had no issues with GPS since.

EDIT...

didn't have any GPS issues prior to using memmaid, radio is 1.07.01v, flashed many roms before so gotta think it's a reg value that was messed with as there were no previous issues. so just try to reflash the same rom then hard reset but don't downgrade or upgrade your radio...

Same thing happened to me using Sprint Diamond leaked version, the phone would lock up and then soft reset everytime I tried using the gps. Luckily I just receieved a new phone from Sprint for an unrelated problem.

ok so i have 1.03 firmware...but everything seems to be working fine now. I used memaid to clean up a bit and i tested with iguidance 2009, tomtom7 and google maps. All seems well. My phone is configured exactly the way i want it to be and would suck to get it replace and put it back to how i want it.

Are we sure its a hardware issue? Because i cannot replicate the issue to get this replaced

is memaid a program that you run once in a while (like a defrag on a pc) or something that you use to monitor memmory at all time>?

I ran memmaid and I seem to be ok for now. I had read that old/bad Quick GPS data can cause this but I still had a freeze (soft resets and power button not waking device up) after getting fresh data w/o ever even opening GPS Tool or Garmin XT. I will have to wait and see what happens over the next few days but I don think its the phone or radio. I think flashing may clear that bad data out which makes it appear to be the ROM or radio. I will be buying Memmaid...i like it now that I have used it. Good stuff

Dont know where I got that bit of advice on the Quick GPS but updated my data and have had flawless GPS now for two days, will report back if any thing changes.
