Re: Does GPS ever just 'go bad'?

It is possible that data set can be retrieved by many methods, one of which we know is QuickGPS. It is possible the problem with the data set percolated into other A-GPS mechanisms besides the data set QuickGPS is downloading. I'd ask you a similar question, how do you know the data set isn't being used by your phone?

If you are getting cold GPS locks in under 20 seconds, then you are getting assistance for your GPS from somewhere and you are likely exposed to this problem in some way. There are probably other variables we aren't aware of, so nobody can say for sure you would or wouldn't see the problem. Probably someone at Qualcomm knows exactly what is up and can say for sure, but they aren't speaking

If you have no way of replacing xtra.bin, try a new radio. It won't affect your OS install and you can rollback to different radio if it doesn't work.
If you read my post carefully, you can see that I have traded out several radio/rom (1.12.20F, 1.03.03V R, 1.03.09V, 1.03.15F, and now on 1.12.34F) combinations. Still no joy. Also, as I was saying, on a clean (no qgps) rom or on stock rom without qgps, there is no xtra.bin file to change. So, I am just saying that in my case, probably others, that file is not the issue.
I am going to keep trying radio's until I have tried them all, and hopefully I will come across that magic combo.
