    With a little MacGyver ingenuity (folded a movie stub in half, placed on that spot, and put the cover back on), I now have perfect GPS reception, indoors and out.

    I'm not sure if this is the issue for everyone with a Droid X and GPS problems, but it should at the very least help some."
    I just did this and it fixed my gps that was intermittently working. Thanks

    Any luck? I just bought a used phone. No GPS

    I am looking for a fix to this. All of the tape and wedges and other stuff has not worked.

    Thanks
