It usually finds what the general area is that I am in, but it used to be completely accurate..I can't use the GPS as an audible navigation system at all anymore. I can still use the directions, but if I use "my location" as the starting point, it is not accurate whatsoever.
Also, my texts have been deleting themselves alot lately...completely wiped out. No idea why...I can't find a trigger for it, ie alot of apps open, etc.
and you know how you can have a folder on your home screen, to organize more? sometimes my folder will not open up at all..I have to restart the droid to get it to work, but that is annoying and time-consuming..the point of the folder was for quicker access to things I use often without crowding up my home screen. Do you know why this is?
Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Well Samm, good news. Your GPS issues is simply a setting. Easiest way to solve it is to add the powerbar widget on your homescreen. (long press on an empty space, select add widget, and select powerbar) In the middle of that powerbar is a little satellite dish. Enable it, and you will have accurate GPS. You will also be able to toggle your data sync, brightness settings, bluetooth and wifi radios.
For texts, when you are in the app, press the settings icon on the bottom of your phone. Depending on what messaging app you use there will be a setting somewhere in there for automatically deleting old messages. Adjust that to your liking.
For the folder, I have no idea. I use GDE desktop with the application bars. I have one app bar for frequent contacts, one for GPS apps, one for media, etc. This gives you up to 7 homescreens, instead of the default 3. Good luck.
