Most stable GPS ROM?

[BrainStomp]

I am having problems with stability with the GPS in my phone. I am not sure if it is an issue with the phone itself or with the ROM but I'd like to ask for some pointers

I am currently running DCD 3.3.4 with Radio 3.42.50.

I can use the GPS on the phone with no problem for one or two sessions and then the only way to get the GPS to respond is to take the battery out and wait a few seconds then put the battery back in. I have tried a soft reset but that doesn't solve the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Sounds like you have a rom problem. I recommend to reflash. Because I have no problems with gps on 3.3.4.

i've tested all of DCDs roms quite a bit, and generally have always stuck with 3.2.5 and 3.2.6. im running .6 right now, and my gps locks instantly all the time. you can easily lock up the com port for your gps by letting your phone fall asleep while GPS is running, in an app that requires constant data. soft resetting should fix this. and youll know this has happened if Google Maps displays 'initializing GPS' for more than a couple of seconds. have you applied GCs aGPS fix? if so, have you made the necessary changes with new information? i recently noticed a drop in my GPS locks and discovered i had lost all my gpsone settings in a flash where i lost my akey. when i reapplied the fix, the IP address and port had changed.

I am running DCD 4.1.2 ... I wonder if I should be running the older DCD ROMS?

4.1.2 could have been great. i wasnt a fan of the unread text message issues, keyboard issues, and i experienced random hard resets. 3.2.6 is the most stable and solid in my opinion.

kflipproductions,

What radio version do you run with 3.2.6?

The 4.1.2 has been working pretty smooth for me thus far...

I agree about 4.1.2 and the text message issue. That was the sole reason I went back to 3.2.6. My GPS is a little screwy though. After going through the full aGPS setup, I can get locks, but it can sometimes take 5 minutes to get a lock, which as you all know, can be frustrating. All it takes is 5 minutes to get lost lol.

Yes the 4.1.2 seems to be having GPS issues for me LOL, I will be downgrading to 3.2.6 myself when I have a some time...

I'll have to go and give 3.2.6 a try and see if it works out better for me.

kflipproductions - Is there a program to keep the phone from going to sleep? I have one GPS program (GPSed - very nice) that supposedly keeps the sleep function from taking place when it is logging data but if I run more than one program when it is running then the phone goes to sleep anyways.


Sorry about the delay on my reply - I have been Internet Connection Challenged over the last couple of days.

Thanks to everyone for all the wisdom

I downgraded to 3.2.6 as my GPS was not locking on to anything.

No love... lol
