I've been able to get a GPS fix with the phone off, after a soft reset, IF I use the "Cold Start" option in GPSViewer and 1 or 2 other GPS tools. My GPS registry values are the default 1,1,2.
Under these conditions, GPSViewer won't show a fix in the "GPS Status" tab, unless I switch to the "Setup" tab, and then back to "GPS Status". I can also see evidence of a fix by looking at the raw GPS data (e.g., in GPSViewer "Setup") and noting when most of the missing values (indicated by strings of commas) go away.
So, can someone outside the U.S. try a "Cold Start" in one of the GPS tools and let us know if that works? Thanks.
