Updated GPS Drivers (Possible Fix For Standby Issues)

[mardukeme]

Updated first post regarding virser_gps.dll

I loaded the today AP and soft reset. Turned the Toggle on, loaded up GPS viewer and recived and immediate lock. Closed out of completly of GPS Viewer Turn toggle off. Suspend for 5 minutes. Un-suspend, toggle GPS on and go back into GPS viewer and recieved an immediate lock.. This looks promising.

A potential solution to the standby problem would be to use S2U2 and ensure that the phone never goes to standby, instead turns off the screen. Yes, this will have an impact on the battery life, but I don't think it will be much.
I used to use S2U2 on pre GPS roms, and it used to do a pretty good job. As an added benefit, this solved my phone not waking up, etc issues.

I have been testing a bunch off different drivers and I think I have the solution for the Standby problem, as originally posted in the first thread. I just have to due a few more test to confirm.

Update:

I left the phone go into standby mode for 30 minutes while Garmin is still running. Exited standby mode and Garmin found the GPS device instantaneously. Before in a similar circumstance it would be searching for a GPS device, and the display a message that it could not find one.

*Also I might have a driver for the GPS lock problem just not sure yet.

good work I think its already been deduced in another thread here too that restarting the drivers solves the standby problem. I think the question more now is how to do this efficiently. Going into Fred's every time is not gonna work for most. As mindfrost said, i suggest some kind of mortscript to run every time the power button is pushed on. Pretty much how S2U2 works, when you hit the power button to turn the screen on S2U2 activates. Should be the same concept.

Wont have to restart the driver, I have a different driver that correct the issue.

I've been using S2U2, and even telling it not to suspend power doesn't seem to help the problem. I thought it would too, but it hasn't seemed to help me at all.

I hope mardukeme will post his drivers and give us some information on where he got them from. I've been a guinea pig throughout this whole process (I was the 2nd one to flash the Titan Radio after JD), so I will more than happy to test these drivers as well.
