Re: What is the reason for terrible GPS performance on the Vogue?

Live search seems to take about the same from cold start (after hard power off).
Could not get iGo to go with GoogleMaps as a primer for some reason initially, but with AstroLauncher, goes like bat out of you know where.
Does drain that battery though.

I just installed the 7/10 leaked ROM yesterday at 2PM, and by 7 or 9PM, I lost all GPS usage... I didn't do anything weird like let the device power off during a GPS session... I literally only used it to get 3 static (non-moving) locks under google maps, to find stuff around me. Didn't touch GPS until I needed it later that night, and it was dead. Couldn't get it to work with soft-reset either.

I was trying it in the bottom floor of an apartment complex, where it SHOULD work anyways... so I walked outside with a clear view of the sky, and it still wouldn't work.


I think part of the GPS problem is that if you don't get a lock, (say you're in a bad location,) it sets some weird flag in the radio...

I have found a "fix," for this... from the leaked 7/10 Sprint ROM thread... all you have to do is re-run IOTA for Sprint.... and somehow this gets GPS working again... I wonder how long it will work before I have to do it again?

Vogue != Solid GPS Device
