Well I've given up with the GPS in Germany...never once received a lock. As a backup, I used a BT GPS. With the NO2CHeM 6.1 ROM 5060, I was unable to set the GPS hardware port in the native redirector to anything but (none), so I was forced to use GPSGate, which worked like a charm. I've been quite busy with work, but I wish I had more time to test the GPS lock issue with the stock ROM.

For the internal GPS issue, the GPS is returning sat data, it just won't lock.

The behaviour of the external GPS and internal GPS using the native redirector for internal and GPS gate for external is different.

With the internal GPS, sats are read and data is recieved, but after a while it appears the GPS resets and starts reacquiring GPS data, while the external GPS seems to build on the signal of sats it is currently communicating with. In addition, the phone itself will periodically soft reset while acquiring data through the internal GPS.

I used the GPSviewier trying cold reset to completely reset the internal GPS and there seemed to be no improvement.
