My home address is saved and is correct. It used to work flawlessly forever and then a little while back it started taking me to the wrong destination. The mark on the map is showing correctly. I tried reinstalling and it didn't work. This happen for one of my other stared locations. Everything else is business like usual. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

Never had a problem. Did you try going back to stock to rule out software or hardware issues?

Try installing GPS Status by MobiWIA It seems to help grab a gps fix quicker and more accurately.

I have had this GPS show me the correct destination when I enter/preview it. Then while driving there its taken me to another place entirely... Saying that I was indeed at the named location but I wasn't even close.
I use GPS all the time for work and this has happened maybe 4 - 5 times. Not sure it completely relates to your saved home location deal but just wanted to share...

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.
I am currently running MeanROM ICS 2.4. When I use GPS, the voice navigation continuously repeats "In a quarter mile" over again for every direction. I've tried to clear cache and dalvik, and I've also tried doing ##gpsclrx#.
When I do ##gpsclrx#, I enter in the MSL, and when I press OK, a message pops up that says "commit failed."
I've searched the forum, and the only thing that I've found was to do ##gpsclrx#, which hasn't been working. Has anyone experienced this, or know how to resolve it?
Thanks
Did you try clearing the app data? I don't know much about the ## command you tried but if navigation is stuck on 1 step in the directions, it sounds like it could be the app. If it can accurately locate you, it probably isn't the Gps antenna or settings.

Thanks for the reply, I just tried clearing the app data, still have the same problem.
Did it work under MeanRom ICS 2.3? That's what I'm using...no problems for me.

I did something similar and all of a sudden after a reboot it asked for permissions to use my Google account. After that everything has been working peachy.

If you mean the icon next to your 4g icon, that isn't the GPS icon. That reticle stays there and does nothing.
GPS failing during Strava
When I start a Strava OR Endomondo cycling tracking the GPS seems to stop tracking during the ride. If I wake the phone to read a text or something it seems to come back. Is it possible it is being put to sleep by OS or Sense even though the app is still asking for data through the API? Otherwise it locks quickly and works as intended.
I'm having weird issues with Google Navigation. Google Maps works fine.
The navigation app freezes and doesn't follow my movement. When I go from portrait to landscape it cuts off half the screen.
Any way I can reinstall or update Navigation? It's not showing in play store like it used to.

Gonna give this a shot to see if it corrects my navigation crashing too. Thanx for this suggestion....cross my fingers
Edit: as a side note, anyone with the navigation problem, have you done complete firmware software and hboot update or just the os update with older firmware? I only did software change and kept my old hboot etc.

Are you all running completely stock, locked, no htcdev unlock, root or anything? The reason I ask is because gf has completely untouched stock elte and gonna see if she has these problems, maybe its just us unlocked/rooted users having problems. Just another angle to think about possibly.

I am unrooted, completely stock everything. Everything worked well before the JB update. After the JB update, everything still works with the only exception of Google Navigation. Maps works well, but Navigation starts acting up within a couple of minutes. I tried clearing the app data and cache, didn't help either. Symptoms are exactly the same as the OP. Turning phone sideways cuts screen by half, no rendering, gets unuseable. It finally sends a message that the app stopped working.
Interestingly enough, the old TeleNav GPS Navigator (used to be called Sprint Navigation) does work, but that app is pretty ugly, and not as accurate. That makes me think it is not necessarily something broken with the GPS, if other apps can access it with no problem.

I've tried everything to make it work and still no dice. Some other user reported doing a hard reset and still having same problem. I've been starting to use Waze GPS.

For what it's worth, tons of reports on other forums on this exact same issue. Even on Google Play, if you filter user reviews by phone, it is being reported there as well.
So I have been having problems with the build in browser. Some times it will just lock up.
I type in an address and hit enter and it will just sit there tying to look the page and never does. If I close out the browser and open it again. I then have to retype the address and then it goes right to it.
Also sometimes it won't let me click anything on the page and I will have to close the browser out and reopen it for it to work. Reloading the page doesn't work.
Gotta close it and reopen it.
Anyone have this problem and fix it?

Try disabling javascript and/or flash. Limits the browsers ability a little but may make it much more stable.
