*Possible* improvement to GPS Fix

[jstout1980]

Mode 4 definitly helps a bunch, AGPS Lock in less than 10 secs and up to 7 Sats in under a min.

.... and now I am able to consistently get a lock in under 10 seconds, even after a bettery pull. It could be a combination of both changes, or could just be placebo effect and some kind of caching of last position that the phone is doing, but either way. I now get quick locks and am a happy camper.

I would have to agree with you as well. I had tried both changes separately, but the the combination of both has improved my GPS lock time.

It didn't really seem to do anything for me. Still about 2-3 minutes to achieve a lock. No biggy I usually know somewhat where I going when I turn it on so I can wait for the lock. I already had GPS mode set to 2 instead of 4.

The fix is to set GPS mode to 4 instead of 2.

I just made both changes and WOW what an improvement! I went from not being able to always locate the GPS after quite a while of searching to very fast GPS location info!

This registry edit does get a fix much faster. I am inside my house and both sprint nav and googlel maps works. It only took about 1 - 2 minutes compared to 10 minutes before!!

Dont get too happy guys, I had the same amazing results and would get a lock in about 5 sec. and now, hardly ever will I get a lock within ten minutes, say out of every 20 tests of starting iGo or TomTom, Google Maps, etc. will I get a lock within 1 min...
