I tried both the interactive GPS test and dialing ##GPS# and neither was able to get a fix. In google maps I wasn't able to get any location at all while on my pre plus I can usually get one just based off of wifi hot spots. This is pretty disappointing news. One would think that HP could demand the same treatment as Android phone makers.
Not that this means anything in your case, but I frequently have trouble using internet and GPS on phones in VZW stores for some reason. I've had this happen a good bit on Android phones too. Sometimes It'll tell me it needs an internet connection, but even when I go to turn on the internet, it still says no connection. I've often wondered if the floor models aren't sometimes setup not to access internet.
