For the GPS, you say it should be working fine ad then that it does not function with the advanced features... What advanced features are you talking about ? It cannot even locate my position on the map... Even though I followed your advice and worked it first on the Win OS.

Thanks for your replies.
Did you bother reading the thread I linked earlier?

Here it is again..

That goes over all the stuff GPS related that doesn't work.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to get a lock at all, other than the usual caveats. Clear view of the sky, no big buildings outside, and certainly don't even try it inside any building.

Both should work equally well, but have you tried QuickGPS? That usually helps my phone dramatically. But also, keep in mind, without these advanced GPS features it can take an extremely long time to get a lock. Like 15+ minutes, no joke. Hence why you should try to do all you can to help out the GPS by using QuickGPS, then immediately boot Android and test GPS.

As for the FM/AM radio, I've seen some rumors that our BT chip also has an FM radio module in it, but I don't know if anyone's ever gotten it to actually work. I haven't looked into it myself actually, but I certainly haven't noticed anyone saying it works in Android.
