My GPS no longer works (will not find current location and lock on) with Google maps, waze, VZ Navigator. I've reset to factory default and still no luck. Ideas?

Have either of you checked location settings in the phones main menu and made sure that High Accuracy mode is enabled?

Yes

I have. I've also deleted location history, reset and re-downloaded A-GPS data with the GPS Status app, and restored app preferences, suggestions I've seen elsewhere. On other forums I've read claims that some G2s have faulty GPS hardware and that once it fails you basically are stuck if your phone is over a year old.

What hardware version do you have? Mine is Rev.1.0. My software is the same as yours.
