Re: Official Titan built-in GPS Thread

I've got a reasonably exposed window and an hour didn't do it. I went out, and on the bus, gut up to 8 satellites seen, but never any lock. As you know if the Mogul goes into sleep mode with GPS open, the gps fails and can't be used until reboot, so this long period is a killer.

The hardware gps problem is also hard. They seem to have locked out the setting of the gps hardware port in external gps settings. Try to set it to something (like the port of the bluetooth gps) and it ignores it and next time you check it is still set to none. The GPS driver has two port settings. One is the port that programs are to read from, which is virtual. The other is the port a hardware gps is on, which you no longer can set it seems.

So while I used the mogul with external gps last trip to Europe in January, this time, I can't use anything thanks to the "upgrade." If anybody has more advice, let me know. I would upgrade the rom, but only if it's sure to work.
