Why Does GPS work fine one day and not the next?

[boe]

Hello,

I've read many posts about how they do the firmware update, the GPS works great the first day and not the next. I don't think I noticed a solution or conclusion as to why this is. I've done about 4 firmware updates myself and found that to be true as well.

I'm guessing Sprint either downloads something to your phone that disables it or they somehow track your GPS usuage - those are justs guesses of course.

Anyone have any insight as to why it will work for me one day and not the next even though I test from the same general area - 4 bars of signal, EVDO access.


Thanks

FYI - I did another firmware update this weekend - first time I could use GPS without priming it with GPS viewer - using 3.02 chef downloaded on Saturday like 5/24 - not at my home PC right now. Radio 3.35.04 PRL 60711
Sometimes softreset resolves the issue, sometimes not.
