Default Telstra GPS + Paul Root ROM works!

For those that rooted with Paul's ROM, when you initially boot the phone up, it has no English Australia. I believe when you select English UK, it will automatically map to UK under google and will try to search for GPS satellite around UK. Obviously it failed. What I did was to scroll to Australia and in my situation to Victoria, the GPs locked in straight away.

Hope this help.

Hi donkey. You are (in a way) correct. The MoDaCo original (not custom) ROM, rootedupdate.zip has been reported to fix the GPS issue on Aussie desires. It is not related to the language settings however :P

MY GUIDES:
10.1v Root
10.1v Bootloader Unlock
MTP
Note: Im very slack at replying to PMs, since I live a busy life and as much as I love XDA, I rarely get a chance to get on it these days.
It's best to questions to the forums, as I may take a long time to respond.
Current Devices:
| Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v | Galaxy Nexus | Nexus 7 |
