    GPS on GPA15 not working?

    Anyone else having problems with GPS on the stable GPA15? I flashed this a few days ago and it was working sporadically but now doesn't work at all. The GPS icon shows up on the notification bar but it doesn't ever find the location.

    It is the only problem I'm having with this and really hope i can find a fix to it so i dont have to reflash... i'm on a droid 1 if it helps.

    Never had that problem with GPA15, but I did have it on the original stock Android. I traced the problem to Weatherbug, which sometimes grabbed and held the GPS and wouldn't let Google Maps get it. Force-Stopping Weatherbug and restarting often resolved the problem.

    Don't know if this is the same problem you're experiencing or not, but hopefully it gives you some clues.

    I don't see any application that would be grabbing the GPS and preventing maps from using it... its weird because it worked once since I've flashed but i cant get the thing to work since. I've rebooted several times but no dice...

    its unfortunate because i use it a lot and this rom is incredibly fast...

    Unfortunately, the video is incredibly choppy on this ROM and i am getting dropped calls randomly now... i'm going to switch to something else...

    damn it... this thing would be awesome if it was fully functional...

    The problem I had with GPS (and maps) was a periodic reboot.
