Re: Simple Guide 12/11 Android on SD card! FLASH 11, 4 Steps, TP2 DL lnks (FRX07.1)

Two other issues:

GPS does not appear to be working. I open Google Maps and the status bar GPS icon flashes. However, I give it ample time, but it never locks to satellites. I just get a "waiting for location" message forever. Google Maps in WM usually locks within 30 seconds of the program launch.

The other issue is very poor battery life, even in standby without apps running. I have shut off push mail and my settings more or less match what I had in WM. Any FAQ or tweaks available to improve this? Battery life currently seems to be too poor (just a few hours) to be usable as my phone OS when I'm on-the-go. As is, it's only practical for days I'm at home or at office, where I can have the TP2 constantly connected to the charger. (Edit: I found this thread, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp...ng-thread.html, and will try some of the tips to improve battery life)

I realize this is a work-in-progress. I'm very grateful to the devs. I hope the kinks are worked out...it could be amazing. What an immense improvement in usability over WM6x!
