Anyone having GPS issues with their Triumph? The phone can only pick up my location when I have network location on as well. GPS by itself doesn't ever find me. My Optimus V never had an issue getting an exact lock on my location.
You literally wrote this seconds before I could edit a post I did to include this as a possible issue - great minds think alikeAnyone having GPS issues with their Triumph?

I thought enabling GPS in the 'radio control' widget was enough to turn on GPS, but it turns out you need to toggle something else.
Go into Settings > Location & security settings > and check 'Use Wireless networks'. This setting is necessary for wi-fi AS WELL AS mobile networks.
I'm a street off when I tried it in my house but I never tried outdoors yet.
I had GPS issues with all apps until I let Google Maps sit for a while (about 10 minutes) to download the GPS data and I can now lock on GPS in seconds in all of my apps. This is typical of A-GPS chips that need to download satellite info for the first time. Same thing happened with my Blackberry Playbook.
Absolutely none. 1st try using GPS Test locked up 7 of 7 satts in view in 10-20s, HOWEVER one thing that I DID notice is that accuracy was MUCH improved IF the MT was in a VERTICAL position as opposed to a HORIZONTAL position.Anyone having GPS issues with their Triumph?

If you have non-working GPS, you got a lemon period as the vast majority of us have no GPS problem, sounds like you also got a problematic touchscreen as well...yeah, I can't get my GPS to work at all. Never had a problem with Optimus V. This phone is turning out to be crappier and crappier as I use it. Touch screen stops working frequently too
Just saw something on HowardForums about using the GPSFix app from the Market. Using Maps, I was able to lock on to my location instantly.
FINALLY got a GPS fix outside my house - the signal there was notoriously week with the OV and nonexistent with the Triump until this app.n I will say it took almost a minute for a fix, but that's better than no fix at all. Thanks again.Just saw something on HowardForums about using the GPSFix app from the Market. Using Maps, I was able to lock on to my location instantly.
- Whenever it tries to lock in GPS, data gets dropped from 3G to 1X like there is interference between them
Per a google thread that discusses some people having issues with Maps battery consumption (or false reporting, depending on who you believe) - uninstalled updates, reinstalled after hard reset and....a whole day without a charge and still 60% left. WOOHEE.FINALLY got a GPS fix outside my house - the signal there was notoriously week with the OV and nonexistent with the Triump until this app.n I will say it took almost a minute for a fix, but that's better than no fix at all.
