GPS breaks data connection

[Guest scott4534]

I have a debadged Orange San Francisco with Finnish Fillyjonk RLS5 ROM. Using Giffgaff PAYG SIM.

Whenever I start using GPS, the mobile data connection drops and won't restart until a reboot. This happens with Maps, Satnav, Cardiotrainer etc. Calls and texts still work ok, but nothing that uses data works - email, internet etc.

If I'm using a Wifi connection instead, I have no problem, gets location and downloads maps at the same time as it should.

Example:

1. Wifi and GPS disabled.

2. Check email - ok, uses mobile data connection.

3. Enable Wifi and GPS.

4. Start maps - everything is good, can see location and maps download ok.

5. Disable Wifi.

6. In maps, get "Data connection lost".

7. Try to check email - "Unable to open connection to server".

From now on, can't get mobile data connection unless I reboot. Wifi still works ok if I re-enable it.

I'm pretty sure this used to work ok with RLS5. I restored a RLS3 backup and still find the problem with that, and it definitely used to be ok.

Is this likely to be a hardware failure, or could there be a setting somewhere that would make this happen?

I've had problems like that on another ROM. Putting airplane mode on and off seems to help. One day without touching my APNs it can be great and then the next rubbish?! I live in a good 3g area. I think o2 is pretty rubbish though by the sounds of it but I have a signal when this happens?!
