I just tried the latest mwebster-andy kernel from http://moko.mwester.net/dl.html#kernels which has the sdcard clock patches, and now i get even better signals, and fix from cold start outside in 48secs. So the voltage patch certainly helped, and the sdcard clock patches seemed to have made it even better. I have not tried accessing maps from sdcard while using GPS, but i will try and test that later.
