I just installed and used the GPS test app and left it on for an hour. My Fascinate saw 2 satellites and used 0. Thanks for the tips, but it didn't work for me.

Last night I tested mine with GPS test and was out in garage and it showed 11 satellites and was using 8 so I was impressed

Sorry, one possible solution before replacing phone with new one, turn off phone and remove battery for about 10 minutes, reinstall battery turn back on, if that fails I think you need new phone.

I didn't expect it to work, but I tried it anyway. Replaced the battery after leaving it out for 10 minutes. Tried the GPS in the house first, using the GPS test app. Initially it saw 0 satellites. Then I moved it to the window, and it started seeing and using satellites. Tried the GPS for navigation, and it was very accurate. Hope this is a permanent fix, for now I am extremely happy. I also turned the GPS off for an hour, then tried again . It picked up and saw 9 satellites in the house!. T:smileyhappy:hank you so much for posting this very simple fix!  :smileyhappy:

It's just why use your GPS when I'm saying the phone works great, plus I was just joking about complaining as I agree VZW is giving us the screws. Now if you want flash I will flash you if you are old enough?
