Bluetooth and Android?

Are you saying with the Bluetooth fix, but with Bluetooth off, you are no longer able to get a GPS satellite fix. If so, just to check, you've run QuickGPS in WinMo right?

Not to hijack this thread..... but I think I found out that my GPS issue isn't related to BT.

I CAN get a GPS fix with BT on and off, but lose it as soon as the phone sleeps and then the program that I'm using won't get a fix thereafter (when I wake the phone back up). Guess I just need to find a keepalive type of app or fix that will allow GPS to stay on even when the phone sleeps.

-update- Found a program named Tracker Booster (keeps GPS alive even when phone is in sleep), just run it after you launch your running app. Okay now no more posts about GPS in this BT thread.
