Does GPS ever just 'go bad'? - Page 9

I just love that the Carriers and HTC have REALLY stepped up to the plate on this problem....They HAVE to be aware of the situation...and None of them have released any corespondence addressing the issue......I wish I knew if they were replacing the TP with the TP2....as this would be the perfect chance to return the phone for the upgrade and Let their own Ignorance screw them!

Replacing the bin files and turning off QuickGPS has not worked for me. About the only radio that is working w/GPS is the Sprint 1.12.34F. Any other ideas?

Did you replace it in Both Directories?

P.S. One other thing I did is I made sure the file had a current date on it. Since some stuff is date sensitive. But I'm not sure that mattered.

well i dont know if it connected i would ise one of the address in my recent list and when it supposed to find my location and stuff it soft reset

If it soft reset you do have the issue.

Replace xtra.bin file in \Windows and \Temp with the one attached in this thread and soft reset.

Haven't had any issues with this, but when I checked QuickGPS the last file it had downloaded was on 10/27, a day or so before the majority of these problems came to light. I'm running NRG 'Photon' build 23081 from 10/25, with Sprint's 1.12.34F radio, PRL 60655, PRI 2.34_003. Google Maps hasn't so much as hiccuped in the past couple days, and I would know as I use my phone extensively for work-related travel.

I am having exactly the same problem, and phoned BELL asking for a new phone! Of course I tried EVERYTHING, I mean it.

But thank you!!! Your bin file fixed the problem!

I have experienced the same GPS locking reset problem for the pass few days. Flashing a new Radio fixed the problem for me. No hard reset was needed.
