Hi all,
I've noticed a couple of problems with the onboard GPS on the G1 that
seem like
something's going wrong with the underlying interface to the gps
hardware.
1) There are times when the GPS just never synchs with the satellites
regardless
of whether it's in a clear area open to sky, etc, etc
2) Twice in the last two days I've had the GPS lose accuracy such that
it thinks
that its accuracy is ~1000m or more stuck like this for hours with
clear views,
etc, etc.
In both of these cases, a reboot immediately solves the problem. I
won't swear
that it *never* heals itself in this state(s), but it can go on for
hours and hours
and hours -- not a very good thing if 911 is trying to find you. These
problems
seem pretty likely to be related to me.
Note: it wasn't just my app that thought that the accuracy had gone
down the
tubes: Maps agreed as well.
I've checked around, and there doesn't seem to be too much information
on the
groups about GPS hardware anomalies. I'm not even sure if this is the
right place
as it looks pretty conclusively to me that this is a bug in the
interface driver...
Mike
