I was driving last night and needed the GPS, I was running BAMF 1.6.1 and the GPS wouldn't lock. I tried apps off the market, had no luck. So I went back to stock and the issue was still there, so i dont believe its a ROM issue...I don't really know what to do and ATM i need to use the GPS lolol so im stuck till i can..if anyone could assist me or point me in the right direction..no pun intended lolol.
GPS is a known issue with the TB. It's been discussed here plenty.
I never had an issue until last night, thought it was odd it was out of the blue. My bad though, tried a search too.

Rebooting TB helped my GPS problem
thunderbolt sent, bamf enhanced
Download an app from the Market called "GPS Status". Open the app, go to Menu->Tools->Manage A-GPS state. Hit Reset. Then go to the same place and hit Download.
This has helped a lot of people including me. My GPS wouldn't lock on for a good 2 minutes, now it's instant on.

Again, this phone and update is solid with nothing to fix. With this phone Android and Moto have arrived.
When out of the box you have a phone that works.
My next task is the get Tether working
A Guy over on the "other forum" is having major data dropping issues. I'm curious about the update and wondering why I haven't rec'd it. I'm totally stock. Went into about phone and system updates but it says I'm up to date. But I'm on .744?? Guess they're pushing them slowly as usual...

To get tethering to work with your RAZR. First download the wireless tethering app 3.1 beta 7. Install of course. Phone must be rooted. Also download rom
manager and open rom Manager and and go to. Fix permissions let that run. And the restart phone. Now tether your heart out.

I updated a moment ago from stock to stock.
So far it seems to be smoother. I meant really reminding me of the word "silky"
but I can't get Vibrant Feedback of stock multitouch keyboard to work even I ticked it at settings.
Sound feedback of the multi touch keyboard is fine.
Anyone else having issue like this?
The physical key haptic feedback when I press anything is still there. So I assume it is the software issue only.

I'm the guy.
Went and got a new SIM today and it fixed it a bit, but my signal was much better before. I'm at my work desk, and with the old update, I always had 4g. Now I'm 3g. I get 4g when I leave.

Just updated from the file on droidforums & the voodoo ota root keeper from the market works perfectly to reroot after the update. The only issue apparently is when safe strap is used because of the modifications to the preinstall partition. I hadn't moved from bootstrap yet so everything worked.

no update in my part of GA yet either.
after about 40 hours
my battery life is down with this update
my 4G is now dropping
i would not update my phone @ this point with this update
I'm 100% stock and after the update its running very smooth!! The stock launcher seems to have gotten faster?? Camera and over all performance is better. I don't know about data yet because VERIZON'S DATA IS DOWN AGAIN! but other then that its very good for me. Been running this for about 10 hours.

There have been a lot of 3G and 4G outages in the past several days. Make sure you're not a victim of that. There are DEFINITE issues this morning. I don't have the update installed, totally stock phone - and yesterday and today I have no 4G at work. I'm on a 4th floor by a window. I normally have a great 4G connection here.
Everyone Else: There's no trick you can do at this point to get the update. It's not released officially, it's only been sent out to a few beta testers. You are either going to get it by checking for the update, or not. Eventually they'll release it to everyone soon.
I'm in the same boat as mistawolfe, the update has made things much worse for me on the data side. On my way to work today, I had NO data for more than half the time, and only 3G the other half of the time. While at home, I have always had strong 4G and that has not changed after the update. But at work yesterday after I applied the update, it was the same thing, only 3G or NO data. Same today, more than half the time I have no data, and the other half only 3G. Going back and forth between no data and data is unacceptable. 3G/4G switching is fine, but this is horrible. 1/2 the time I can't even use the data. Terrible. I would not recommend this update.

Please see my post above you. There are known issues with Verizons data network this morning. There have been several issues in the past few weeks. Don't be so fast to blame your update. http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/psa-verizon-users-reporting-data-outages-across-the-us/

Missed that, thanks. Talk about a strange coincidence, but at least it gives me hope (Although I'm still a bit weary as it started yesterday morning for me right after the update). Anyway, will hang tight and see if things get better. Hard to believe we are having another 4G/data outage again not even 2 weeks later! Big time growing pains for Verizon
Not sure if this has been posted on here yet....but i was randomly surfing the net, and i ran into this article from tmobile. Apparently they released an app to remove the files that are causing the reboot on the HTC Amaze. Its called Amaze Memory Clear and they released it to the play store. Want to try it but not sure if it will mess with settings on a custom rom (Speedrom 7.6) and was wondering if anybody has tried it yet. Below is the link to the page on t-mobile where they explain what it does.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4492
Just about everyone who has had amaze issues after the ics update has tried it, works well, helped a lot of people, shouldn't matter what rom you're on, though tbh if you're on a custom rom with random reboots, a full device wipe and reinstallation of the rom would be something worth considering as well.

So...I've been having this problem for a while, NO pictures will load on instagram and facebook with ANY rom.
I even ODIN-ed back to stock and then re-rooted but still no luck...any ideas?
I have the dev edition and am having the same problem. Just started happening a few days ago. Switch to wifi and they will load, so must be something with verizons network cause it can't be the device if wifi works. Only with those 2 apps.
Same here.. data or wifi. Happens often

Okay... I thought it was only me but it seems like all my friends are having the same problems as well.
I even ODIN-ed back to stock and still no luck. I thought it was because of ME7 but it isn't..... I think it might be related to verizon? I'm not sure though

Mines doing it too. Started thinking it was the beta version of Facebook I'm running. It worked find about 2-3 days ago and then started not loading again. So annoying
Hello, about a month ago my GPS suddenly decided to be garbage and it can't find enough GPS signal unless I'm in COMPLETELY open sky and even then it's slow. So I thought I was just unlucky and I still have warranty, so I'm going to use it, but today this reddit post appeared about the Galaxy S8 https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/in2qbi/many_samsung_galaxy_s8_and_note_8_users_are/
and a LOT of people there are complaining about the same issue I have, so I'm sitting here wondering if having the sd 835 chipset is the cause and somehow Google released some kind of update that ****ed up GPS for us.
To the people still running completely stock android, have you noticed recent problems in GPS signal?
Have you tried clearing and updating your AGPS data? Use an app like this one to do it.

Yep, nothing helps, pretty sure the GPS antenna has issues.
