which radio has proper GPS cold fix?

[the-uki]

With the Kaiser, the quality of internal GPS reception (dilution of position) and cold fix time (time to fix without previous fix in last 4 days) depends on the Radio, not the ROM.

The only 2 radios I found so far that are able to process data dowloaded with quickGPS properly in order to deliver a cold fix within 20s on clear sky, and further a DOP of 1.5 or even less, are:

Original radio: 1.27.12.17 - works only on WM60
Niki rado: 1.58.11.07 - works on some WM61

Why don't the others process quick GPS data properly?

When will HTC finally give up the Qualcom GPS and switch back to Sirf III (4s cold fix on Eten devices)?

Did anyone successfully get 20s or less cold fix with other radios?

Try any 1.65.XX.XX radio

They seem to get a really good GPS fix in under a minute.

I'm currently on 1.65.16.25 and this one gives me a fix within 10 secs.

This is weird. Maybe I got different kaiser :))) but main takes about 3 minutes with that radio. And 1.27.12.17 within 20 secs

Please differentiate between COLD and WARM fix:

COLD FIX means you just flashed your ROM and Radio, or you did not use your GPS for 4 Days.

Warm Fix means you just used it in the last minutes or hours.

Note that the Quick GPS function is designed to provide for less than 20 s COLD FIX, and instant warm fix.

None of the radios apart from those I listed properly feed data from Quick GPS software in order to deliver a true quick fix.

I meant cold fix in both cases



!!!!!Updated!!!!!

It's really weird, now I put Polish official rom 3.29.464.0 with same radio as WWE 1.65.16.25 and it works very quick. Similar to 1.27.12.17

Fix takes about 30 secs.
