I tried another program's demo (NAVIGON), all my GPS settings are correct and over 45 min, I could not get a lock but, yesterday, I got a lock in about 5 min. Tomtom is questionable but, will get a lock, sometimes. This is also after using the download of the sats apps.

This is driving me nuts, it's the time of the year where I will use GPS in other people's cars and I need to have it working. This is pointless if I can't get a reasonable lock on a modern phone.

When I had my Titan (xv6800), I used A-GPS and I could, 98% of the time, get a lock within 10-15 SECONDS, with out A-GPS, it was just as bad as the TP2. With A-GPS on the titan, I could call GPS dependable and fast, it worked when I needed it and if not, a reboot fixed it.

Everything I had read here says to disable A-GPS to get GPS working correctly on the TP2.

I was wondering if anyone is using A-GPS and what is your results with it ? Do you get quick locks ? Is it dependable ?

I'm on a quest to get QUICK (under 20 seconds) and dependable (95-98% of the time, if outdoors) locks on the TP2, is it even possable ?

Did you disable AGPS?
If not I believe it is enabled by default.
Run QuickGPS and let windows manage settings automatically with the gps apps you use. I use bing and I get locks in about 5 seconds or less and turn by turn works great. I'm on sprint though.

If I were you, I would flash the full MR3 updated rom not just the radio. Then run QuickGPS and soft reset. Then install the latest Bing and try to get a lock.
