Re: GPS Aides/Reg Hacks/Utilities/"Fast Fixers"

Maybe I'm the only one, but I had the same problems with the released Mogul rom as with the Touch. In fact, I did a little experiment over the weekend. Powered on both phones side by side (mogul with the released rom, and touch with the leaked rom), and ran TomTom. The gps had not been run on either for 24hrs prior, and they took about the same amount of time to get a lock (about 2 minutes), and showed the same number of satellites after the same amount of time.

And the Touch with the leaked rom did not need anything special to enable GPS.

There's only one thing I found that helps speed up getting an initial fix/lock: warm over cold! And the way to do that, is with an app like GPSToday. I now fire up the gps when I get up in the morning. Let it sit until it gets a lock. Then let GPSToday run with auto updates, and never have to deal with a cold boot...
