I just went outside to play with the dog. Granted I was walking up and down my yard but after 10 minutes NO lock. At one point it had 12 sats with a red outline in GPSViewer but never found a lock. They were all centered on the N.

I left it outside sitting in the middle of the driveway so we'll see in about 15 minutes when I go let the dog in.

GPS results vary greatly even depending on the weather and your position (gps signal strength from the satellites).

The Kaiser was released with gps out of the box, so it seems like HTC spent more time on perfecting those to work well right away. But either way, when i had a kaiser it took a good minute to start up also. I dont think it was all that much better cold-start wise. It was a little more stable but of course were using cracked drivers not meant for our phone.

But i dont think taking Mogul drivers/radio and putting them into the Touch will change that much.

I would kill for a 1-3 min lock at this point. It is the I am where I was going before I get a lock part that is driving me nuts.

How many times do you use the device w/o a cold start. Hardly ever. Use it once today and again later.

Also, when I select my location in google maps it tells me that my device is not supported for this beta feature (or at least it did in the alltel version). Is this what everyone else is seeing/how are you getting aGPS. Mine puts me in the ocean off the coast of Africa until it gets a solid 3 sat lock.
