Post GPS working with appropiate radio/rom?

I have seen many posts with both success and failure of GPS with the xv6900 that I was hoping to get a true feeling to how well the gps is working. I have gone through the many threads and tried many things (radios, roms and making my own roms). But I figure the truth is in the numbers...

My definition of working is you have been on the same rom for at least 3 days and each and every time you use GPS it locks in under a minute.

Thanks!

Re: GPS working with appropiate radio/rom?

If you are working if you can confirm the exact radio and rom that would be great. Especially if it an available rom so others can test.

Part of the reason for the poll is I want to see if I (and others) should be swapping out the hardware as only a handful of users not working or if it is just a common issue right now and just to sit tight.

Thanks.

Re: GPS working with appropiate radio/rom?

So looks like with current state of radios/roms Verizon users can expect only a little better than 50% chance of getting gps working regularly from this sample. I know it isn't scientific but still I think this will help set expectations for Verizon users primarily upgrading to get GPS like I did.
