Lumia 900 GPS failure
Hi Lumia users,
I posted the following message to Nokia Support when my Lumia 900 started giving me wrong locations. Since then a ATT retails store gave me a new SIM and that fixed the problem for a few weeks. It's started to happen again.
Any anyone else experienced similar issue? The gist is that the Lumia GPS puts me in Ohia or Georgia sometimes, but I'm in San Francisco!
Thanks.

I received word earlier this evening from NokiaCareUS's Twitter team that the GPS issue has been resolved:
@NokiaCareUS: @ChrisJLynch06 @ATT_Jam Yes, it has been resolved. Recommend restarting the device to ensure it's fixed. ^LC

Did you try the diagnostic test? Press ##634# on your keypad and run all tests check the bing search can find you or Nokia drive

I just received a HTC Titan 2 last week and i live in California, but the HTC Hub Weather app and the Bing Maps app are showing my location as Akron, OH. Sometimes it'll give my correct location but for the most part it shows as Akron, OH.
I called ATT and they referred me to HTC, the rep at HTC claims it's a known issue for some Titan 2's and they are working on a fix. Does anyone else have problems with the GPS on the HTC Titan 2? I've searched Google and can't find anyone else talking about this issue?

This problem might not be specific to the Titan 2. Some Lumia 900 users have reported the same thing. See:

I live in California, and have two Lumia's saying they are in Akron, OH. This is frustrating, as I use a lot of location-capable apps, and if the device isn't reporting the location correctly, they are completely useless.

There is no GPS option in Diagnostics, only the Compass. So trying to go through the Diag app doesn't help, nor test GPS/aGPS.
