Google maps has recently started to act terribly.
It never fixes me at the correct place, at all.
Here's me NOT in the middle of the Hudson commuting in to NYC.
Has anyone else had similar r issues ?

perhaps you were murdered by the mafia and don't know it yet.
Anyway, this is a shot in the dark, but with my previous phone it had issues with AGPS for a while. The only real solution was to open maps and turn screen time out to forever and just let it sit until it got a lock. sometimes it would take 20 minutes. After it locked it would be good until the next reboot.
There are also apps in the play store to test satelite connections. I don't remember what they are called though.

What's odd is I'm sitting here on the train with my moto x and nexus 7 side by side. Both have the same number of satellite fixes, but the moto cannot fix in Google maps but the nexus 7 does.?

If you are going away from cell coverage, a stand alone GPS will be excellent. Just remember when buying software that one can also purchase GPS devices for under $100 these days (of course you would have another device in that case).
Google Maps Navigation will also cache your route, if you download it before you leave and look it all over. It'll even cache a few reroutes. This is nice when going from WiFi to WiFi, but not useful as a standalone GPS.
Thanks for the blurb about "CoPilot". I was using Google Nav, but took a detour in an area with no cell service. GPS was of no value. (compass is still there though)

Every time I start Copilot USA it asks for my google checkout number. And then it has to log into the internet to verify. Am I doing something wrong?
I know this has been an issue on other phones too but I haven't been able to find a solution to get the NFL Mobile app to work. When you log in it says services temporally unavailable. It does this under both liberty and r3blurr3d, but works under stock rooted.
Anyone know if a fix?

that is odd, mine only took 4 tries. not sure what else to tell you to try. i have mannaged to f my phone up now and it is unrootable at this time. at least i can still make calls on it.
Ack! Did you try one of the cheesecake updates or something?
Oddly enough i found a quick mention in a forum for a different phone and got it to work.....you know what the trick was?! Log in with the phone in landscape mode! I can't believe that worked on the first try.....Let me know about your phone issue, i will offer some help if i can.
Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.
I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.

You haven't described the type of issue that you're having. Remember, the bars only indicate voice signal strength.

3 swaps within 1 year. This would be through Asurion. At the Sprint store they will swap it 3 times before offering you a comparable model. If you want to keep the same phone then they can swap it as many times, in store, as you would like.

I can be using various apps like poker F.B or even the browser. Take the internet for instance. I can be using it and at any time it will loose connection. Same with playing poker. While I usually get connected within a minute, it's still annoying. I can't tell that I have good connection cause when it is on it loads pages fairly quick.

I get that a lot on my Note 2. Usually its the phone switching back and forth from ehrpd to 1xrtt. Either your towers are being worked on or are over capacity like mine.. Worst data experience ever. After 10yrs I might bite the bullet and switch carriers, can't take it any longer..

Until your area is complete or a Radio update is released your phone will continue to act like this..Only way I could make mine stable was to run it in CDMA mode only and completely ignore 4G until more towers fill the gaps.

I get the same issue and have come to find a workaround that fixes it. This only works for 3G, but if you switch your network settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only you won't have any issues. I never get the issues that you explain while on 4G, but I constantly get them on 3G. Get that fix a try and let me know if it works :good:
Go into settings them power and turn off data sleep.

Call sprint. Have them verify your SIM ID and UICC ID under settings/about/Phone Identity. Make sure they have the same number on your account as the phone. They may argue with you that the number doesn't matter accept for International but make them check anyways. If you have 4G in your area it will matter.....or even if its just Network Vision. Just keep pressing them to verify. If they are different have them connect you to activation's and have them fix it.
