Post GPS quality -- Vote

I personally have noticed I can get locks on satellites without too much of a problem with the ROM i'm using, however I can't keep that lock and the GPS isn't very accurate... plus, I loose satellite reception and its all just crappy.

Whose getting good GPS reception and keeping it??????? (dependable to actually use in a pratical sense)



Please state the ROM you're using if its either personally cooked or from one of our fine chefs

Re: GPS quality -- Vote

So far my GPS has been really accurate and I haven't had any problems with it while driving.

The only problem I have is the standby issue some people are having, but a soft-reset fixes that right up.

Re: GPS quality -- Vote

GPS been working similar to my Mogul, using the same programs.

As far as the standby issue, it's the same on the Mogul. But I have power settings for standby turned off. Also I turn off the GPS before hitting the power button.

With JD's GPStest2.1 and OMJ's Sprint ROM, I get excellent accurate GPS service with TOMTom6 and GPS Viewer and GPSToday095... Works while driving and is superb!
RevA is awesome too!

Re: GPS quality -- Vote

I've used the original GPSTest ROM by JD with the Alltel Radio, then I used the 3.35 Titan Radio with JD's Hybrid ROM, and now I'm using the 3.35 radio with Ghetto's latest ROM....I've had the same results on all of them.
