It's not ignoring anything, but the chip is robust enough to recover from that. ogpsd should add some safeguards like storing the offset GPS time/system time so that it will report the correct time to the GPS chip even if somebody sets their time to be five minutes ahead constantly. > 3) While using tangoGPS and I enter a building, when I come out, a > fix is not gotten until I reboot FR.

Please check with the GPS tabs in zhone How many SVs have ephemeris before and after you are inside the building. Also check after you've left the building if you are seeing any signals from SVs and if the chip actually thinks there are SVs in the sky. Regards, Daniel Willmann
