I have had my prime since late December starting with Honeycomb. I have never had GPS issues until the last update (about a week agao?). From inside my house I typically could see at least 8 or 9 sats. Now I can't see any. I have used several GPS stats apps and Google maps says "waiting for location" if I turn off wifi. I did a factory reset (volume down/power button...select wipe data) but It's still ICS including the latest GPS Radio and no GPS. The GPS programs say that it is on but all show 0 sats. Anyone else have this problem since the last update?
 
I have no experience with mine running Honeycomb since I literally bought mine two days ago and ran the update immediately.

That said, I have no luck with the GPS at home. However, it seemed to geolocate using the Google News and Weather widget (where, BTW, is the menu to change settings in that? Works fine on Droid3 but not on a tablet) while I was driving to my brother's house last night, so it had to have found a satellite somewhere.
 
Just did an update this morning. Gps still working. Still works better with wifi connected. Without WiFi on it has a hard time locking on.View attachment 21652 with wifi on.

I just downloaded today's update and still have no GPS. For what its worth, the Kernel and Build number changed (the GPS version did not). I'm at work so I haven't really had a chance to mess with it. I might bring it outside over the lunch hour.

Anyone here download the update and have it fix your GPS problem?
