Hi Community,
I am writing again because I wanted to share my story about my UK Titan I have had for over a year now. I had won this titan at a windows phone party provided by microsoft and i was ecstatic about winning it, it wasn't until 6 months later that the navigation on my titan started to FAIL. It simply would not lock onto my location and tell me the next turn or my continuing direction for whatever navigation software I was using.
I sent it back to HTC for repair and it was fixed actually the navigation worked perfectly but then I had an issue with a loose battery back cover and purchased some non oem covers that did not fit securely either.
So my idea on a solution for this problem was to buy another uk euro htc titan from europe which I did and lo and behold its navigation failed miserably as well! I had since sold my original uk titan and have sent my current UK titan back to htc for repair THREE TIMES, I am not kidding i sent it back to htc for repair 3 times, i wrote long explanatory letters to please test this device before you send it back to me on but obviously this request reached no one.
I have had many horror stories having my titan fail in giving me directions but the worst was when i was at a party near the border ( i live in san diego) on a very foggy night and could not see 5 feet ahead of me, I was driving aimlessly looking at my navigation begging it to lock and tell me where to go , i almost reached hte border into mexico and had to figure out on my own how to get home, and to make it worst i continued to watch my titan as i drove and the navigation came to life when i was almost home!
I have opened a new escalated dispute with HTC in that there must be some resolution to fixing this navigation issue, and that is pending. I just can't understand how my first uk titan had an initial navigation problem i sent it back for repair and it worked perfectly but sold it (which was a dumb move) only to import a new one from the uk and its navigation gps fails miserably every time.
oh and recently i figured out how to get my navigation to work, when i am in my car, i have to put my titan on the dashboard ALL THE WAY to the edge past my steering wheel and in about 20 seconds or more the navigation will start to work! and it will work perfectly, but it shouldnt be like this i shouldn't' have to play with the phone in different positions with a clear view of the sky to get it work. If i set the device say on my center console in front of the radio, it stops working again.
i have become obsessed with my phones navigation and getting it to work, i dont want to upgrade to wp8 because:
1. I love my phones big screen
2. the removable battery
3. 7.8 custom roms have much more haking/customizing freedom than current wp8
4. the titan has been "jailbroken" for custom roms
so i ask has anyone else experienced this issue? any idea or solutions on homebrew solution to fix maybe?
