Yesterday I tried GPS for the first time. With gpssight and tangogps I got a fix within minutes when holding the FR out of the window. The fix remained when moving around my home. Then I installed gpsdrive and did some other things I don't remember anymore. When trying with gpsdrive I could not get a fix. With gpssight and tangogps it wasn't working either. Today I tried outside with no result. I reflashed rootfs to rollback software and only installed gpssight and tango again. No fix. It never worked again so far. So the idea of a loose contact at the antenna sounds somewhat plausible. I looked at this: > http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner_GPS_antenna_repair_SOP But I don't want to open the FR right now. The connector is visible right under the battery. I can move it with my fingernail a little, really not much. Don't know if it is loose...
