GPS connecting to satellites

[Guest roscoe141]

Doesn't seem to matter what software I'm using. Sportpal, googlemaps, copilot etc etc, it still takes between 30 seconds to 3/4 minutes to connect.

Has anyone else found this and if so found a fix?

Noone?

For me it is 3 sec, sometimes more. I don't know what it depends on :/

Do you have data activated when you try getting a fix? AFAIK, it uses the network to get a rough fix, which speeds up getting a gps fix.

*Confused* By data do you mean G3 or the Mobile Network widget?

Think he meant if you have a 3G/HSDPA (data connection) with your mobile operator.

This speeds up the process of getting a fix.

Not sure which device you have but I had the same issue on my Australian delivered Telstra Desire. Even after I rooted it and applied Paul's HTC build and updates it still would drop. Speedo / my tracks / maps wouldn't work so I downloaded and installed the latest Telstra build from HTC. There is a forum on xda with download links.

I think the fix was that the radio image was reapplied and has been a treat. If your device is an 850mhz version A8183 then try this if its not then there is an ruu_bravo_wwe_asia....exe available on this forum. I'll be rooting it again in the day or so and will let you know how I get on.

Good luck. :P
