Re: *21 Feb* UPD 15: SSK 1.5M *8* OS Kitchen incl WM6.5 Build 21159 and OS 21015 ROM

SCOTT - I saw you mention that you had gone back to the verizon stock radio, that you were getting faster GPS locks with it. I decided to try some back to back tests and consistently found exactly as you claimed... I get GPS locks WAY faster on the Verizon 1.03 or whatever version, I always forget but the stock radio.

I went from getting 4-7 locks in about 30 seconds, to getting 6-10 locks in about 12 seconds! I switched back and forth a couple times and it was very consistent for both. Meanwhile, my signal strength stayed the same, and Bob has already shown battery life is the same.

I encourage everyone on the Sprint radio to do some testing with GPS tool and see if you dont get the same results!




Also, I did try 21015 for most of the day, and honestly I didnt see any speed increase vs. 20954 (20954 has so far been easily the fastest build I've tried, and I've tried all of the 6.1 builds that Scott has made available in his kitchens).

I still feel that 20954 and 20931 are the two best builds, they each have things they do better, but are very close overall. I went back to 20954, didnt feel like spending the time setting up another rom and have good, fully set up backups for 931 and 954.
