[Q] CM7 GPS issue

[mrjonnyrock]

i am really struggling with the GPS. It takes for ever to lock. If i restore my Revolution HD 3.1 ROM and test, it locks within a few seconds

I really need the gps, its one of the main reasons i have a phone like this

GPS sometimes locks then disappears or just fails to come on when i open a GPS app or just takes for ever to get a lock. When/if it locks it only picks up 5/7 satellites. with Rev 3.1 it picks up 8/10.

My sisters Desire, with oxygen rom, locks 12 satellites in 10sec every time.


I have tired GPS status and i am still having issues.

I know this has been covered and also aware this is a known issue but is there a resolution for this?

GPS Is also one of the reasons I got this phone.

Thanks.

Ok I was just installing build 21 over RC2.

After, restoring my backup RC2, and installing the .zip in that thread it has made a difference.

I noticed that in gps essentials the magnetic field reading has gone up after installing the .zip and I seem to get a fix a lot faster.
