I'm in the san francisco bay area, and am seeing very slow GPS fixes. It took 5 minutes to get the time code from the satellite this morning (didn't get a fix in 12 minutes...), and I've only gotten a fix once so far (after > 10 minutes...), and it's failed to get a fix during a few ~10 minutes walks outdoors. I've been carrying the phone screen up, away from my body, away from buildings taller than a story or two...
Anyway, if you still haven't duplicated the problem, let me know. Also, I'm getting a bit of GSM data noise on my speaker during phone calls. Is that normal, or is it unexpected signal leakage? I plan to retest GPS with the GSM (and all other radios) disabled. -Rusty steve wrote: > Well, > > Sean is sick in bed from taking Malaria shots since he is traveling to > Ghana to speak.
