GPS issue - workaround

Hey guys, just wanted to share my findings with the GPS problem a lot of people seem to have, including me. I was having issue's connecting my GPS all the time, it would not locate the satellites unless I hard reset the phone until I found this software in the market.

It's called. GPS FIX - just search, GPS FIX - simple enough...right?

I tried using the other GPS program everyone talked about, and clearing the whatever but it never really seemed to work. This program however works FLAWLESS! You start your GPS, launch this program, it finds everything, then you launch your Nav software or whatever and it pops up instantly.

Hope this helps...

*side note - my friend has a HD2 and his has the same issue, and also another phone he uses as well. So the GPS issue seems to be something a lot of phones experience, makes me feel better it's not just isolated to this device.
 
Don't know about gps fix but my gps hasn't worked since day 1. Reading the sprint community sites it turns out that having device and sd card encryption turned on basically disables gps completely. Once I turned of encryption and rebooted my gps worked flawlessly.
