GV outbound dialing works for me now! Awesome! I'm not sure if it was the line to my startup or the new kernel/modules/rootfs, but it does indeed work! Thank you much Makk!

It was cell-tower location/triangulation - which works, but is much less accurate. For whatever reason, CDMA doesn't seem to work nearly as well as GSM with cell-tower based location... I haven't had any cell-tower location in a few builds either. I did get it to grab a location for me in Google Maps once or twice, but I knew it was cell-tower location because the circle was so large. It was within 1000ft instead of 10.
isn't that what agps is?

You may want to read that article...

Basically, aGPS is assisted by cell towers to speed up triangulation, or allow a fix to occur when only two sats are acquired.

This is different from the cell-tower based location in the sense that it only uses the cell tower information to provide GPS. All cell towers are equipped with GPS for timing among other things - and this is the information that it's relaying.

So it's not truly GPS or even aGPS. Your phone is NOT using GPS satellites to get a direct fix on your location. Does that make sense now?

The reason I'm convinced it's not using GPS is the devs have not sorted out how to get the information from the GPS receiver to Android. They need a driver for the linux kernel, and to my knowledge have not made much progress on it. Essentially if linux isn't understanding the hardware, Android will never get any information from it.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

tried my plantronics model 320 bt headset... seems to make a connection though Android doesn't ask for the password. The headset chirps as if a connection is made and there's a unique bluetooth icon in the info bar at the top of the screen, but thats about it. Can't seem to do anything with it.

Yea I was able to pair with a BT enabled phone, but it wouldn't connect. I don't have any headsets or anything else to test with here at work unfortunately. I do have a BT GPS device... that would be interesting to see if it worked.

Bluetooth GPS can pair as well, but won't connected. I have to assume it is everything.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

Apparently this is the same state as Bluetooth is in on GSM. A2DP might just rely on an audio lib from Android being brought over. Not sure about other functions.
