    Anyone else having gps issues on the Fascinate? My phone won't lock on to the satellites on its own, I had to download the gps status app. After downloading the app,I have to clear my cache and it will usually lock in quickly. Very annoying for such a great phone.Anyone else having gps issues with this thing?

    Thanks for the feedback guys, without this forum I would have thought it was just my phone.
