i've got an HTC desire HD btw.
 
You might try cleaning the socket with ( clean ! ) pressured air at a workshop.

If you don't need Locations at all, you could uninstall the Locations updates.
With Android 2.3.3 on the DHD it helped me when Locations pestered me with map updates.

Well, just had a look at Settings, Applications, Manage applications ... there isn't an option 'Uninstall updates' any more :(

By the way, are there, with 'Locations' and 'Locations Launcher', with 'Launch by default' the 'Clear defaults' buttons greyed out ?
