Hey, So there has been a problem with some androids I have encountered and met another person running into the same problems. Some phones were taking very long times to get GPS fixes (ussually not at all) and after they did they were putting points out in Jamaica or the ocean south of Cuba.
A common thread between the problem phones seemed to be that they were from Europe. North American phones seemed to have no problem. So the solution seems to be changing the NTP server in the 'gps.conf' file to the North American server. This can be accomplished two ways: 1: The app FasterFix https://market.android.com/details?id=com.Double.FasterFix&hl=en 2: Manually http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-your-european-android-gps-lock-manually/ You of course need to be a 'root' user. But you should do that when unboxing anyway. This is caused by using Assisted GPS (A-GPS) for the first point, which uses the network to get faster fixes. Thought this would be useful to share and hopefully save some headaches. -brian
