Sprint GPS up and quit

Phil Canyon · #1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2009, 05:00 PM

I have Garmin software as well as Google maps and neither will acquire satellites anymore. I just want to know if any other sprint customers are having the same problems before I go and hard reset. I haven't changed anything on my phone and no updates have occurred. I am running an old rom but everything worked until last Saturday. Thanks

I'm getting a gps fix with garmin, google maps, and live search. No problems for me.

Running GPS on my phone directly (no external apps/hardware) - no issues here in Las Vegas

I found the answer on another thread. I live in an area where my phone is constantly on roaming, and the battery wears really fast. I don't know if this happen or if I did it but the location setting was shut off. I had previously tried to find it but couldn't. I did not change anything to my knowledge so I was unsure what had happened.

It is a noob deal but I can't always remember how to do certain things if I don't do them regularly.

Thanx for your help.
