Re: GPS - how to remove satellites from phone's memory?

and I.m using the NEW 2.32.40 radio !!

This time I did reset google maps to show me San Francisko first, but
I did NOT soft-reset the phone (an it had many fast locks today )
however, after I do soft-reset the phone, it puts me again in the Guinea Bay

So I guess it is:

- AGPS ("Location service") at work???

(maybe not in the part of that Belgian server, though..
but it has to use SOME AGPS server..
this means that Bell does HAVE one.. hmmm..
how to find out the IP.. the trouble is that
the phone probably does not communicate with it directly, otherwise one could try to use netstat to figure out which one .. or it does?)

- AGPS needs a good guess of the last-known position (which is (0.0,0.0) after a soft-reset - at least in the NEW radio - that is why Guinea Bay shows)
What custom ROM are you using right now?

Thanks.
