Given the performance degradation in GPS lock cause by high SD drive strength and the i2c being on flying leads right next to the antenna I certainly wouldn't rule it out.

You can try to add a series resistor to the signals or reducing the
drive strength of the driver.
The frequency of the signals are not that important but rather the rise
time.
This is usually not a problem om i2c but  who knows.

Hi,

Ferrite beads aid with removing VHF-SHF feedback and/or uncontrolled
oscillation mainly. I cannot see why they would be of use on a
(500khz?) I2C bus. At that frequency they would have minimal effect.

    With the i2c devices removed, I get TTFF of around 1 minute in
    shr-core.  It sounds like putting ferrite beads on SDA and SCL
    might help reduce EMI, so I will try that when I get a chance.

        Hi Ben

        Not sure this is relevent to you, but I now have the fastest
        GPS fix I've ever had on the freerunner.

        QTMoko v35 and I put this in /etc/default/gpsd:-

        START_DAEMON="true"
        GPSD_OPTIONS=""
        DEVICES="/dev/ttySAC1"
        USBAUTO="false"
        GPSD_SOCKET="/var/run/gpsd.__sock"

        Before doing this it was pretty poor - worse than earlier
        versions of qtmoko and much worse than every SHR I've tried.
        On a reasonably clear day I now reliably get a fix in under a
        minute, sometimes within a few seconds.

        The only other varying factor (doubtful relevence) is that I
        got pissed with QTMoko and to a lesser extent SHR foobarring
        the SD card, so I'm now running from the card instead of NAND
        and everything is pretty good
