My First "Problem" with Official Gingerbread, Android 2.3.5

[TexasAggie97]

It's not a huge issue but I'm not sure. After using the navigation Map, the GPS signal is lost and when I turn off the GPS, the icon remains active at the top of my phone. The only thing that turns off the GPS icon is a reset of the phone. I believe the GPS is off, only the icon remains.

Anyone have these problems with Gingerbread on the Epic?

We have two phones that have the new GB upgrade - and both are getting bogus notifications about "updates available" from the Android market. These notifications pop up at least once each day.

One of the phones is also getting a repeating notification of a text message that was sent before the upgrade.

Again - not a big deal - but annoying...

I too am having the same problem. I have tried to download the GPS Test and GPS Status and although this adds another 10 minutes at times, it still loses the signal. Out of 10 to 15 signals, the unit only locks on 2 to 3 signals. Many gray bars are well within the green zone and it will not lock on them. Any ideas on how to fix this? PS, not rooted, standard epic unit.

I found out that this GPS problem only occurs using the Telenav GPS program that was installed along with gingerbread. When I use the plain old Navigation (google) I have no problems! It is not as advanced as the Telenav with regards to traffic redirect, etc... but it still works.

This is not the case for me. Telenav or plain old nav still the same grey bars and dropped signal. Any ideas?
