Hey all,
Just today I started having a problem with my Desire HD. I've had it for about a year with no dramas at all till now.

I agreed to update the navigation app and I got a warning about a 30 day free license for premium navigation/maps.

Now the navigation app will open completely on its own after anywhere from 1 second to maybe 30 seconds at most, of the phone being idle

When it opens, it will show the navigation menu (destination/phone/get more/mute etc etc).

The app is ALWAYS showing that it is "searching for GPS" in the top right corner.

If I turn GPS satellites OFF, the app will open with a window stating "GPS satellites must be enabled to use location service" and I can only choose "Settings" or "Cancel". Choosing cancel will take me back to my home screen, but it doesn't change the fact that the app will open again in a number of seconds.

If I choose Settings and turn GPS Satellites ON, it takes me straight back to the app and the navigation app menu where the app is still 'searching for GPS' in the background.

I can choose 'Exit' from the navigation menu, but the app will re-open itself automatically in a small amount of time again

Please help!

You might look in Settings/Applications for the Navigation app.
The app is HTC stock, so you can't uninstall it without root.
But maybe you can uninstall the update

This problem is by far the biggest pain I've had with the 2.3.5/ 3.0 update.
The Navigation/ constant prompting to buy a license/ update the maps/ and GPS Searching is insane.
I've done the full factory reset although i didn't want to, but the problem was so bad It had to be done, about 12 hours post reset, it started again.

Locations is basically overiding the phone, everytime the USB Charger or PC USB is plugged in or out the program boots up and takes me to Locations/ Navigations License screen.

Any help would be superb, this phone was absolutely Bomb Proof for over 12 months until this update, Very Disappointing.

Hi Cigan, I can't remember exactly what the setting is on the stock ROM, but if you head to Settings -> Car Panel/Dock, is there anything ticked?

Hi El Presidente, there is no Car Panel option in the settings, or under the Locations heading in Settings...

Hey touk0,

Thanks for the link, I have installed the app u referenced, I will see how it goes, and update this thread in a few hours, if there is any success.

The problem was so bad that I was about to go and upgrade my phone this morning, hopefully it is fixed

Hey touk0,

Thanks for the link, I have installed the app u referenced, It fixed the speakerphone issue but the Navigation will not stop, and the phone will not stop " Waking up"

I have called HTC support center and they are nothing short of Disgracefull, They told me I had to Send the phone away internationally, and make a call to " Route 66" The Navigation App designer in China all at my own cost.

I'll be getting rid of this phone now, and upgrading.

This 2.3.5 update has been nothing short of a disaster.

Rather than call China, have you tried contacting Route 66 via email? You should be able to find their contact details through the market (if that's where you got the app from)
