GPS and Email encryption

---

Hey,
Anyone else having problems with GPS when they have their device encrypted? My work email requires me to encrypt the hard drive on the phone, but once I do that, my GPS no longer works. If I un-encrypt the phone my GPS works again, but I can no longer access my work email. Anyone with a similar experience or thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks

As a matter of fact you may be on to something. I was testing the GPS out on Friday when I picked up the phone. It was working great. However I set up the phone this weekend and encrypted the device. I have been unable to lock a signal since. Other than device encryption nothing has been modified on the device.

Anyone else having a similar issue? Or anyone able to encrypt their phone and still have GPS work?

The stock email app required me to encrypt the SD and enter a ridiculous unlock screen pass. I installed Exchange by Touchdown and now I have a simpler pass that is only required to view email in the app, and the SD card can remain unencrypted .

Looks like we're alone in this boat.

The GPS in the epic 4g touch is pure ****. I put it next to my EVO 3D using the GPS test app. EVO 3D found
8-10 satellites, the epic 4g touch found none. unacceptable, Samsung still sucks.

Oh, I've never used encryption.

Yeah Samsung must not have learned anything from the complaints about the first galaxy s gps problems. Maybe they're just too big of a company to give a poop. I wanted to keep my captivate on at&t but the bad gps was bothering me so I switched to the iPhone which has an acceptable gps. I think motorola makes the most accurate gps and phone radio of all smartphones though not that the iPhone is lousy but moto makes phones with a great gps.

GPS on my EVO 3D works flawlessly.

Htc makes phones with great gps radios also. The gps in a smartphone whether it's android or iPhone is a huge feature for finding locations of businesses nearby and free turn by turn directions and other apps. Samsung should not keep producing android phones with a gps that doesn't work as advertised.

Same problem here . Encrypted phone, no ability to lock a gps signal. Unencrypted works perfect
