Help [ISSUE] GPS on the Evo Shift

have you guys tried downloading gps status? i used to use that app on my moment (which has the shittiest gps ever, well, it's just a shitty phone). but i would run that app first and let it find satellites, and then my gps (using maps or google nav) would lock right away. maybe worth a shot.

Yes I have tried every fix available. Still jacked. Thanks though...
I actually get a lock with gps status, but it wont hold to use google nav.
 
OK - I've merged several threads here - so I must assume that this post flew under everyone's radar - it's been kinda hanging here, looking for confirmation or not by others, might be helpful.

As might some of the earlier posts here... ?

Update: its the UPDATE! Today while working I decided to install the newest update of v5.3. Immediately I startes encountering all of the issues people above are describing. Namingly, like clockwork I would lose gps signal less than 2 minutes in every single time. Tried restarting, tried hard reset, nothing changed, kept losing signal never to get it back on its own. Also would take severeal minutes to achieve signal at the start each time.

So I uninstalled the updates and went back to the factory installed oem version (4.5 I think?), then restarted the phone, and immediately everything was perfect again. Never lost signal, rerouted quickly, achieved initial signal quickly, you name it it was flawless.

At the end of the day I decided to try again. Restarted phone, installed updates, restarted phone again, and gave it a shot. Immediately it was severely problematic in every imaginable way.

So that does it for me, factory installed version it is, for good. Until an update works equally or better.

Even that fix doesn't work for me. I don't know what I did to break it, but it is really broken. Lol. I have a mind to run the ruu and see if that cures it.
 
Alright, i'm bumping this thread because i've been having the same problem - location accuracy is anywhere from 90 to 1000 meters, which is absolutely ludicrous.
I saw the post which suggested rolling back the updates; but i'd like a walkthrough of the process. am i going back to the factory-installed google maps, rolling back the htc firmware, or what?

thanks
