Default 2 problems. GPS and Bluetooth. probably no surprise.

my bluetooth won't enable from anywhere on my phone. it is just a white screen with a black bar at the top that says "bluetooth disbled" i have the option to enable but it does nothing. reboots have done nothing.

as for my GPS
my maps and none of the apps i have that can find your location will work. its really annoying because i'm a very competitive FourSquarer. i had to get the mapquest app but even that is useless if i don't have an address for where i'm at. basically if i get lost, i'm screwed because my GPS is a piece of crap. it hasnt worked for months. constantly says "searching for satellites". i've waited and waited and waited and nothing happens.

Either a reload or upgrade of OS is required by the sounds.

Just to prove a point, when I was on 6.499 my gps would take 5 minutes to load, where now on .534 its almost instant.

Do a bit of reading how to shrink and load a os
