I'm beginning to think my phone is defective, I cannot get a fix. In the agps-ui, I'm not even seeing a signal from any of the satellites. Running 2008.9 with the latest kernel. I've even tried using the agps program with assist online. That makes agps-ui show a list of satellites, and have the current GPS time, but no signal. I was thinking of trying the antenna repair SOP. Ironicly, one of the biggest reasons I wanted the Freerunner, besides openness, was to create a GRPS/GPS app.
