Re: GPS question...
 

cool, i flashed like over a 100times testing alot of ROMS (including OMJs verizon 2.5 i think and one of negamann's first rom) so I'm kinda tired of reflashing, got the perfect setup except for GPS now...
crangel... do you think you could test latest versions of those 3 roms?

Re: GPS question...
 

I'm on Negamann's latest since yesterday and its awesome but I'm sure I'll go thru a few this week. I'll probably end up back on Neggaman's or Whosdaman's cause they're both super stable and ultimately that's what I want. To be able to make calls and surf the web. I'll let you know what I run into

hexto...
how fast are your locks?

i did try out GPS (JDs latest rom) and in a clear opening downtown (city park/square) got a cold start lock in 2m(cold definately since my previous lock was at home). guess i cant be near tall buildings to get a lock as u said.

Re: GPS question...
 

It varies. I've gotten locks within 30 seconds and as long as about 2 minutes which is to be expected. I've got a TomTom in my car and it takes that long sometimes too. I guess it all depends on your position relative to the sats in the sky. If you're consistenly getting locks in 2 minutes or less I'd say you're alright. Its all about consistency. I've had ROMs get fast locks intermitenly and take 5+ minutes other times. Thats when you want to flash and try others.

Re: GPS question...
 

On my unit, it usually took over 5 min with DHarvey's. With Negaman's it is more like 2 to sometimes 4 min consistantly and I even got a lock indoors near a window. I may try Whosdaman and compare. Wish it was more like 1 to 2 min to match my dedicated GPS. Right now I am using GPSViewer to prime. I know a bit about hardware and gpsOne and am still not satisified. I agree with hexto, if you are consistantly getting 2 min or less you are likely OK. I am still getting a few long ones of over 4 min.

Re: GPS question...
 

Definitely try Whosdaman's. I used to use GPSViewer to prime but now I use GPS Toggle. It uses no memory and its really low profile. Check it out. http://code.baf.cc/gpstoggle/GPSToggle.cab

Re: GPS question...
 

sounds like a good idea. Right now it seems Whosdaman's is "under construction" and I cannot find links and his thread seems to indicate he may not have updates for a while so I guess I will wait. I have been useing GPS Toggle too, both seem to take about the same amount of time.

Re: GPS question...
 

I noticed WDM is under construction and it has been since Sunday or Monday. I kinda got lucky I guess. I came home late on Saturday night (Sunday morning) and decided to flash my phone and saw his update available. This is my first WDM ROM but I do like it. Check his thread over at PPCHaven.com. Maybe its there if not send him a message.

Re: GPS question...
 

i dont think its that consistant. may take 15m or not lock at all sometimes even at home outside.

maybe ill try nega latest or WDM.... got a link to his rom, if under construction, try posting to rapidshare.com
