I take this thread about GPS to give my feed back too.
From my personal feedback I will not speak about half a year but since
March
or so
And I do make it works but it takes more time the first time after a fresh
flashed image PLUS
the gps is less sensitive like the signal was weak ( It fixes less
satellites)
Also, with latest images, I cannot get a fix after a suspend.
I have to restart to get a fix again.
I cannot even see "time" on "shr-settings-position"
It's so sad, because gps was the only rock solid funtionality on my Neo since
OM2008 series.
I have used it a lot to map Openstreetmap, but since 2.6.32 kernel update,
it's useless as a gps (unless you doesn't suspend it, but that way battery
doesn't last so much)
Exactly.
The GPS of the FreeRunner was/(is) so cool, that it even beats modern
Garmins. I got fixes within closed rooms where the Garmins didn't.
Now I don't get a fix at all, even outdoor.
At least I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue. But I
don't think it's a tangoGPS thing, because gpspipe also reports nothing
(see previous mail), so my feeling is that it is a kernel related
question.
I'm just wondering that everybody is happy with a broken GPS since March?
