Re: How-To Get GPS/Rev A on Sprint Touch

I've read through most of the posts about the GPS/REV A, and I've gotten it all to work on my Sprint Touch (Althought I have to use the Holux GPS Viewer to "open" the GPS before I can use the GPS through any other application). It takes forever to get a lock, but I'm hoping QuickGPS will fix that (or at least make it tolerable).

However, I've got one problem that's really starting to bug me. I've seen other people hint that they have it to, but no outright declaration. When I soft reset my phone, it takes about 5 minutes before it'll get a signal (HTC Home caption says "Searching . . . ", and I can't call or get an internet connection). After about 5 minutes, it says "Sprint PCS", and shows a signal. I was using the stock rom before this (Sprint), and I've NEVER had to wait more than about 10 seconds to get a signal.

Anyone else want to confirm that they are having the same issue? Has anyone found out the reason for the long delay, and is there any possible fixes?

Thanks a lot,

Scott
