Thanks Mark :( At least I don't feel crazy :)

Kostya,
Is it just not able to get a fix or does your phone display become
completely black? If it just is not getting a fix then yes we know of
that issue. But on phones where the screen goes black reoccurs even
when restarting the phone (and consequently the gps). It's sort of
bizarre.
