I tried this a few times, in multiple places Then in the same position after running QuickGPS for the first time in the original spot, I was able to within a minute.
It's funny what works on some phones and doesn't on other's .... I have never ran ppst file or let carier customization run (3 second soft reset) I try to only use one "primer " at a time making sure the other one is turned off and results are usually the same on cold starts... Even after you close a "primer" it is warm and should lock quickly next time you open it..It seems trial and error is the key to finding what works best for your setup....I get the same results as far as quickness to lock with gps viewer and gps today although I have noticed a difference in the # of locks when you check gps status in either primer or in TOM TOM ........
