There is no need for an Antivirus on an Android phone.. Maybe the Antivirus did not uninstall cleanly? Try installing/uninstalling again. The puzzle lock screen comes when you have a missed call or a message

Strange Anuj, for me it just loads within seconds... why dont you uninstall it and install it again from the Android market?

maps require Vodafone mobile connect as in is it A-GPS or is it satellite GPS like Nokia 5800 with no need for vodafone mobile connect???i use vodafone live
