XV6800 makes my brain hurt!

[dave52355]

I unlocked my XV6800 with oily 2.40. Flashed a custom ROM RM 2.2 WM 6.5 with Cricket as the carrier.
The phone has PRI of 2.03_002 and a radio of 3.37.75.

All working very well except 2 things:

1: On GPSviewer I get the scrolling $gpgsa/A,A1,,,,,, but never a lock even after 30 minutes. On google maps I get seeking gps satellites (37827308 but never locks on. It appears that the GPSOne chip is visable on com4 @ 4800 baud. I have tried many of the GPS fixes with no improvement.

I was told I needed to relock the phone return it back to the VZR stock rom install another radio and than unlock and reflash the custom ROM. However I've read that any radio after 35 works for GPS and that I can load a new radio without reverting. So I'm really confused as to which way to go. I get nervous flashing you never know what can go wrong.

My 2nd issue is that applications that require inet connections do not always connect such as the weather app. It may take 3-5 tries to update. MMS works great. IE connects every time. Opera mini 2-3 attempts before connecting. Pandora never connects. I've reviewed my settings multiple times and can not see where the error may be.

Any help is greatly appeciated, Thanks
