Reception for me seems better than the Alltel ROM....but for me, the Alltel ROM seemed to make my signal a little worse...so now I would say its back to normal (with Sprint).

That's weird for me the Alltel rom gave me a better reception than the original sprint rom. My home is located in a wierd 300 foot fringe area so its hard me to hold a conversation without dropping a call. Usually I have to force the phone to roam on US Cellular network. I guess I'll try the Titan radio and see if it helps.

I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible when those ROM's usually say 3.xx radio compatible on the label.

I think mine's 'back to normal' as well.

A bluetooth receiver takes just as long to get a cold fix. you cant expect a 10 second fix every single time. GPS results vary greatly even depending on the weather and your position (gps signal strength from the satellites).

The Kaiser was released with gps out of the box, so it seems like HTC spent more time on perfecting those to work well right away. But either way, when i had a kaiser it took a good minute to start up also. I dont think it was all that much better cold-start wise. It was a little more stable but of course were using cracked drivers not meant for our phone.

But i dont think taking Mogul drivers/radio (thought were already using the mogul dll's anyways?) and putting them into the Touch will change that much until an ifficial optimized update is out for us

I agree, that's why the Kaiser is so much more accurate.

I hear lots of complaints about getting a fix but I'm not gonna complain. I'm just glad that GPS is active and that it works, eventually.

Maybe we can start a poll soon to see how different radios are affecting GPS reception.

exactly the Kaiser is what it is and we dont have ATT so we cant compare them. Thats how it was set up as out of the box for them. Who knows how its implemented in that device. Just because they are similar chipsets doenst mean you can compare their implementations.

another exactly, people should just be happy it works. If pulling over for a min or 2 is really that difficult if youre really that lost, then i dunno what to tell them... 1-3 min is normal startup time for gps.

and it technically is a cold start. Every time you close the gps program or gps viewer etc. it turns the gps totally off. the data stream is cut. Next time you go to use it its like a cold start every time. So yes 1-3 min is expected unless you constantly leave the data stream (some gps viewer or program) open which would kill your battery.

I wouldn't be complaining if it was really 1 to 2 minutes. I would be jumping for joy.

I just had the phone outside for more than 30 minutes sitting in the driveway. I went out and guess what, no GPS lock. That is not even worth having.
