Yes, it is activated (according to Sprint).

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this question or not, but you all seem to know a thing or two about Airave's so I thought I'd try. I just purchased a used Airave off ebay and the seller states everything works great. After setting it up and going through initialization, the device fails to get a gps lock (blinking green). After trying everything in every troubleshooting guide (seriously), I took it to two other locations and the same thing happened...no gps lock. Called Sprint and they said that they recently and inadvertently sent out a faulty firmware update to some Airaves (and mine in particular) and that's what is causing my issue. They have no estimated date for a fix and simply told me to wait.

At first I accepted this answer and decided to patiently wait for their fix. But since then I've started to doubt their diagnosis...partly because I don't read of anyone else having this issue and partly because it seems like they should be able to revert back to a prior firmware version pretty quickly if that was causing the issue. So, I thought I'd shoot it out on this thread to see if this made sense to you all and if you have other advice for me.
