Cell phone gps worked, now doesn't, who's to blame?

I bought an HTC Touch diamond with a new alltell contract a few months before the switchover to verizon. The gps worked with google maps and bing but now doesn't. I cannot determine if it's a hardware issue, software issue, phone company issue. It worked less than a month ago but I suspect verizon of doing things over the air to disable the function because they want people to subscribe to their driving directions program. What do you think?|||It could be a number of issues. A few days ago an upgraded version of the GPS system went into use for everyone around the world. This is supposed to provide a lot more accuracy. I can imagine this could have some problematic side effects for devices using GPS.





Perhaps you should contact your phone manufacturer and ask them if this upgrade could have broken the phone's compatibility with the network.
