reflashed and now GPS won't lock

[badfrog]

I flashed last week to the new CF03 then flashed Adrynalyne's 6.1

GPS locked in like 5 minutes standing outside, and has worked great.

last night, did a hard reset and started from scratch, re flashing both the official and then Adrynalyne's.

I installed all the same software, less actually.. but when I fire up google maps, it says seeking satellites and has some random 9 digit number where it usually shows the number of tracked sats, and after sitting outside for 30 minutes, no lock still...

anyone know what this random number is? or what may be going on?

I have GPS on in settings, and have google set to com8/57600

Try Bing, could be something wrong with Gmaps. If both don't work, I'd reflash 6.1.

You didn't mention if you did the following or not:

Did you remember to go into Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Services tab -> Gps, then click CHange Setting and change to 'Location On'?

If not, do so and reboot

a little vague I suppose, but, yes, I do have it enabled.

and to clarify what I mean about what Google is doing..

been out on the deck, where I know I can get a lock, and nada, not even with Bing.
going to reflash, and test it before installing anything else.

If you have flashed to CF03, and as long as GPS is set to Location On, Google Maps is set to COM 8 baud 57600, and 'Use GPS' is checked in the Google Maps menu, then you should be able to get a lock within a few minutes at most

ok, re-flashed to stock CF03, installed gmaps, got a lock in under 5 minutes., Bing tracking as well.
now Flashing Adrynalyne's 6.1/CF03 and will try again.

funny, I have never messed with the samsung widgets.. I actually like the weatherbug one. too bad their today screen plugin doesn't look as nice.

so far so good!
Flashing Adrynalyne's 6.1/CF03 up and running, and most of my apps installed and everything seems good so far!

I am having the exact same problem (error message and all) with GMaps. However, Bing and Garmin Mobile XT works fine though. Strange.

mine is working, but still shows that random 9 digit number at times
