I did some quick tests
Removing AGPS data did not chang a lot.
It gets a fix quite normaly but it is stil not as good as before.
At best I fix 4 gps (never more) over 10 visible and so my hdop stays around
4.5
So realy not very good..
Before I already manage to fix 12/12 satellites!  but the average was about
6/10.


I, as initiator of this discussion, first have to apologize for my assumption that latest SHR still cannot handle GPS. It can, I now made the same observations as Sylvian did: GPS receiver quality is poorer, TTFF is slower, but it works.

I have two FreeRunners (one for testing new releases) and that one had the GPS cable broken. I think it was from the many times 'shaking out that battery'.
I managed to re-solder it somehow but with only little success:
I only get the GPS time, but no fix, and it seems to mee that this also only works on the January (or comparable) release of SHR, not for actual (July) ones.

Finally I'm glad to have navit working again, since I'm about to go to a business trip from Germany to US, having a rental car there with probably no navigation on board ;)
