Hi All,

wondering if anyone has the same issues I am facing...

I have an Official UK HTC Touch Diamond, using unsigned HardSPL 1.40, and currently Bepe 0.95 with Radio 1.00.25.05.

Over the weekend just passed I was running Stock 1.93.456.2 with its included radio 1.00.25.05, when I noticed everything worked well apart from GPS, was just not locking on using Google Maps or Windows Live...

I know it worked on the stock 1.37.405.1 UK rom with Radio 1.00.25.03.

When I was back yesterday, I re-flashed my phone using Bepe's 0.95, still no GPS.

I then flashed 1.00.25.11 (test radio) - GPS locked on within 30 seconds...

Flashed back to 1.00.25.05 - No GPS

I am now running Bepe 0.95 with Radio 1.00.25.03 and this works fine, although battery life is not as good as the .05 radio...

Was wondering if anyone encountered the same issue and if so what did they do to resolve it?

Cheers
Amz

I noticed my GPS has sucked lately after going to Radio .05 when it was really good with .03.

I have persevered though, and the first time to get a GPS lock with .05 took about 20 minutes (yes minutes) in a moving car, and when it did lock it was at least 60m inaccurate.

I'm going to test this some more and then probably flash back to Radio .03 or maybe .11.

What is wrong with .11 anyway it seems to be the latest revision (although I do realise that newer is not always better).

It's worth noting (and I've made this point in other threads) that radio's may be specific/tweaked/tuned to specific reasons so we may get people having all sorts of different experiences with the same radio. I think its always worth mentioning your location and carrier, or at least setting the correct info in your profile so that others can see.
