1) go to start/settings/personal/phone/services..while in there pick location settings and click get settings, click on turn off and then ok out of everything,then go back into that and turn it on and x out of everything.
2)then start/settings/system/external gps.. programs should be on com 4, then click on hardware tab on the bottom and gps hardware port should be set to none and change baud rate to 9600 they say you should get a faster satellite lock wit it set on 9600, then click on access tab and make sure its checked in, x out all that and open google maps and turn on the gps like how u would normally,
3) stay outside give it about 10-20minutes and you should get a lock. the internal gps reciever needs a prime to activate it and this is the best way to do it.If it doesnt work try re installing the rom....
cool cool and wouldnt flame you for helping. thanks for the info.... since i didnt experience the problem i could reproduce and troubleshoot...... good find bro.
