I am finding that I am having issues getting the GPS functionality to work quite often. Anyone know if this is just a **** up with the phone... or if this is a known bug with Android? I know there seems to be some erm... reported problems with 2.1 it seems.

It's (probably) not Android, at least not generally speaking. It could be something specific to the android build for your specific phone.

I have issues with the GPS on my Galaxy S/Vibrant occasionally. Nothing that I can't live with until the patch comes out (due in a few weeks).

I'd do some googling for your specific handset model and "GPS" and see what you find. You might also call customer service. I can't speak for Sprint, but T-Mo CS folks have a "known issues" list for all of the handsets they sell.

Did you trying using google maps gps navigation? Just wondering if the issue is the phone/gps receiver itself, or if it's sprint's gps app, I know google maps gps works fine on my phone, but I never tried the sprint one.

I need to try google maps... but in order to get foursquare to find me I need to jump through hoops. And I have been unable to get Sprint Navigation to find me worth a **** all.

And Weather Apps seem to have issues until I connect to wifi.. and then I am apparently in LA...
