Re: ! ATT FUZE GPS Issues !

A quick search of new threads over at XDA showed it to be radio related and supposedly fixed with the new AT&T test ROM....

Sorry I couldn't help you more before, xgm541... but now I see what you meant in your other thread. I guess short of trying the test/custom ROMs out there, we'll just have to wait for the new ROM....
I hope this isn't too a case of "too little, too late," but I do have an update for my fellow AT&T Fuze owners. I found that if I leave the registry alone (as in, don't make any GPS changes therein) and just disable aGPS on my Fuze through the control panel (Settings --> System --> aGPS Settings), the previous issues are largely resolved. It takes 30-60 seconds to achieve an initial lock with a clear sky, but then it picks up within 10 seconds each time thereafter. Tracking/accuracy is consistently as good as all three of my Sprint TPs... and signal drops are no longer a problem. Definitely worth a look until the new ROM is out....

Oh, and sorry for the delay in posting -- but school has been kicking my @$$!!!!
