Are you being serious? Did you even try to do what the OP told you? If that doesn't work try holding the power and volume down buttons. And no there is no such thing as a jailbreak for android devices.

I was equally inmpressed when I ran one of my GPS programs. My last phone HTC Inspire 4G struggled to get 6 satellites and I was locking on 11 of 17 satellites on my HOX. Love it!
Been playing with GPS recently just to practice for an upcoming trip to the US mainland. Boy does routing suck in Honolulu, Hawaii. It's almost as if Google's navigation and Navigon have no clue that we have highways here.
GPS reception has been great though, locking in quickly and reliably.
thnx for the help guys...but lets get back on topic..the gps lock on this thing is unreal! im very impressed with its performance.
anyone else with great gps performance where others have failed?

Yeah the GPS in this thing is pretty badass. The garman my brother uses is terrible.

The GPS is great on this phone! The GPS works ten thousand times better than my captivate. I'm going to try the GPS on my fight to K.C. Also thanks on the screenshot thing! It took me a few times to figure it out.

GPS is almost useless on mine. It looks up fast enough, outdoors...but its ability to hold an accurate location or track is almost non-existent.
Sitting putrefy still, phone on a flat unmoving surface, taking applications like My Tracks, Endomondo, etc., report me moving at speeds up to 8mph and the position indicator just meanders all over the map, sometimes jumping two or three city blocks.
Guessing I have defective hardware since none of the gps fixes housing around have helped.

I was telling someone else about this about a week ago. I was comparing the GPS to my Galaxy Nexus. The GN had about 9-12 satellites in line of sight. Connected to about 8-9. The LTE One X had at the same spot 20-23 in line of sight. Connected to about 9-12. Accuracy was 12 feet with my GN and 9 feet with my LTE One X. The GN works great in the navigation part but what stood out was the amount of satellites the One X was able to see. It was almost 2X's the amount of my GN.

Assuming that you have made sure the satellite gps is turned on that definitely sounds like a defective phone. I hope you can get a replacement with the hold on the phones in customs.
Mine works phenomenally well. Used it to calibrate the speedometer on the boat last weekend. Very fast connection, strong and accurate.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I also noticed how well and accurate GPS works on this phone. It locks very fast on cold start and so far it locked for me inside buildings as well.
But unfortunately there is a down side - it kills battery.
I was also able to get a solid lock from 35,000 feet inside of a plane heading from Vegas to Kansas City. Pretty cool watching that little arrow cruise across the country
One of the first features I checked after upgrading from my captivate. Giddy
3-4m lock in 2 seconds outdoors. 5-7m lock in 2 seconds inside moving car with accurate nav!
GPS is very useable asset now!

Hi can someone here test if you see a red violet spot on screen when pressing a little harder in the bottom corner of the screen right above the search button. It only does it in that corner for me and not anywhere else. So I'm just wondering if this is normal.

No noticeable color distortion when pressing the screen near the search button here.
Hope this helps!
Thank you. That really sucks for me. This is the 5th device I am going to return and this will be the last one...so many issues I can't believe it. BTW even if I press with my thumb right on the search button and press a little it show the color change mostly visible on white screen. Can you please try on the Google page or somthing with white background and press a little harder and hold it for 3 sec.

The only way I could get the distorted color to appear was using a significant amount of pressure.

Mine doesn't do it until I press really hard... oh shi%$ I just pushed my finger all the way through the phone! Kidding....
But seriously, sounds like you need to take it back and swap for a new phone. It shouldn't be doing that.
Honestly, I can't imagine ever using that much pressure...I had to squeeze pretty hard. Are you guys seeing it under normal use?
@mj2508 Same here.. stuff like that bothers me that's why I want to know if it is every device that does this. If it is well maybe I can live with it, but if not its going right back to the store and I will never touch HTC again. I really like the phone otherwise but got way too many little issues with the build quality.

I know it's not what people want to hear, but you have to realize that the HTC Inspire 4G is the cheapest Android Smartphone EVER released, and the direction things are going are to make devices cheaper, and decrease build quality. This is the first of many new devices that'll come out like this.
Coming from iPhone, I noticed the volume and power rockers just aren't as firm, and the overall quality (ie the battery cover and the sim\msd cover) are just cheaply made. It was the same thing Blackberry did in 2009 when they went to a more plastic-based model line.
On the flipside, you can buy 2 for the same price as an iPhone, so you're really getting a good value.
Bottom line: You get what you pay for, and everyone was so shocked the no-commit price on the Inspire 4G was $399, now you know why.
But it's a great device!

About the same as mine which is way more than one needs to be pressed.

On mine is very easy to do. No need to mash your thumb or anything. It's just like the pressure you would use to press the power button on top.

Tried again on google homepage, pressed normally and nothing. Pressed harder and nothing. Pressed really hard and I saw the ruby red blob. I'll never press that hard in normal use, ever.
No distortion here either. I mean, I pressed as hard as I would feel comfortable pressing on a lcd.
I can't imagine what problems the op had that necessitated going through four of these phones to get solved.
Try a Captivate sometime. STILL priced ~50-100 dollars MORE than an inspire, yet there are many, many people who are on their second or third captivate. I cut my losses on that one at #2.
Now THAT'S a ****ed up phone model.
Just because the the inspire is priced cheap doesn't mean its built cheap, or that because some people have problems, that its indicative of a cheap phone.

...on my sons brand new htc sensation! I had a g1 before I picked up the vibrant last July. COMPLETELY forgot how fast and accurate htc's gps is. I'm in my house and it follows me around within approximately 10 feet. The vibrant on the other hand STILL takes forever to find a sat and then I'm lucky if it's within 50 feet. No contest.
The only strong point of samsung is the "vibrant" screen. But, it kills battery life and the qhd on the sensation is sharper even if not as vibrant.
That's my review. Goodbye samsung. Then again I won't upgrade for a year, so who knows!
But, so far, HTC is my next.

Exactly! I've been trying to justify a tablet and for me it just doesn't make sense. Anything I want to do that requires a bigger screen (than 4/4+ inches) I'd also want a keyboard. So, yeah, I kinda don't get the tablet craze.

It only takes one grain of sand ( quartz ) in your pocket to scratch it. More of an unlucky thing than a failure of the gorilla glass .

I despise walmart but I found humor in what you wrote. So you're saying that Walmart opens the devices and fudges them up, then sends them out "all whack yo"? You don't think it's more likely that it was just a bad device? The real reason why wally world can sell them so cheap is because it's bait to get you inside the store. Once inside, you're likely to do your shopping there and hence Walmart turns a profit. Most of these other retailers sell it at almost cost and make their money on screen protectors, and cases.
Okay so I was having all kinds of touch screen issues,with the lock screen and in general the display wasn't recognizing swipes and was constantly opening Widgets and apps on the home screens.So I went to do a warranty exchange and took off my Tpu blue argyle case and after a reboot everything went back to normal so just thought I would post(even though this probably won't help anyone)there is a chance that it might.Please post your responses whether this helps or not and if your phone has been naked all it's life and still having problems.I usually always have my phone naked in a Nexus one pouch as I bought a bunch of them and like the protection they offer.

Uh? I am in no way bei g hostile at all and am very sorry if my post looked like I was. I was just saying that a lot of people are complaining about weak wifi signal and that a rubber case is thick enough to weaken the signal more. Sorry again man but I really was just giving you some info.
Ask anyone who knows me. If I am bei g hostile, trust me, you'll know it.

Right on,thanks for the apology and I appreciate the info,your right it's common sense and it's just I have read of sooo many people complaining about this phone (death grip,poor wifi,touch screen issues,random reboots)and I hadn't experienced any of them until last week when I bought a case and for the last week I have had problems until today and when I took of the case off presto all MY problems disappeared.Which is odd since my wife has a similar case and has used it since launch and never had any issues.I just normally never use a case with any of my devices and haven't for a few years.

Touchscreen problems start when you use the phone while on charge. Go to my thread, and read a bit.

I haven't seen this at all and I use the phone while charging all the time although I don't use the stock charger,I use my Nexus One wall charger due to the sweet length on it.

There's some things I would do if I were you just for precaution.
1. Turn "Tell HTC" off. Its a setting under "About Phone". A lot of people have reported improved touch sensitivity and speed.
2. Take your battery out and keep it out over night.
Those two things seem to be fixing the issues the most.

I encountered the laggy unlock ring problem about 2 weeks after I got the phone. It lasted about a week and then went away. I haven't had any problems for almost a month now. I've never put a case on my phone, but I did disable all HTC syncs and disabled most HTC and Tmobile apps.
There are allot of reasons I love my phone, but just yesterday I dropped mine in the fish tank! WoW I was worried about it not working anymore. Did the normal steps to dry it out. To my surprise it is fine.
Thanks to all of you on xda for keeping old phones working better then factory.

In the fish tank? Jesus. You must have been quick about taking that battery out. That or REALLY lucky.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
Speaking of fish tanks, I went to sea world this last summer and sat in the splash zone for the killer whales and got drenched with my phone in my pocket. I wiped it off and kept using it afterwards like nothing happened. I was expecting at least my mic or headset to screw up but its been fine since.
Not even a whale...

I work outside and there have been many times I got caught in the rain. I'm not talking a drizzle, here. I'm talkin' Noah all over again. Never had an issue with water damage.

I've had this phone for 2 years, and it still works well....there are better phones out there now, but none are impressive enough to make me drop $300. Recently rooted it and installed ICS, and at this rate who knows when I'll get sick of it....
I had this kind of accident too. The phone works well after that. This is really a good phone.
:-X
lol ... I was shouldering a call while taking a leak (while drunk) and um went down to flush and there it went. *splash*
Washed it off lol and sanitized it multiple times and it still works.

It was 1/2 flushed! Sort of.
I've had this phone since before there was a root method for it. It's not my daily driver anymore, but I love the form factor and weight, and I love perfectly stable cm7 on it.
I feel like this is the last of the purist Android devices.

Because I slammed it in the back hatch of my car at the E. R. The 2nd day I had it. Right on the latch and screen and I only needed a new screen protector.
because i recently purchase my first android smart phone having good hardware configuration and custom rom support that's why i really love mt4g...
Its getting old but still kicking. I'm sure the battery will be the first to give up the ghost.

I'm on my 3rd one.
Developers are loving it even today
I love my mytouch-4g because the developers are still showing love for it. I am running CM10.1 on mine, updates more frequently available than the other most high octane phones.

This is true, cm10.1 is only in pre-alpha stages for both sgs2 and sensation. I keep my mt4g on cm7 though because I love "traditional android."
It'll be a sad day when we upgrade... Wonder how long we can hold out...

The reason I like htc glacer because it better than iphone 4. Plus I like andriod UI and tweaks.
Cuz my buddy who writes games for android and owns an siii is still in awe at the crazy new rom I have on my phone practically every week.
