Like 5-10 minutes... Jun 10 21:09:23 Sazius, I usually see a fix in less than 5 minutes unless moving in urban canyons ( Barcelona) or with wrong clock but never more than 10 Jun 10 21:11:50 jluis: hmm, my clock is actually somewhat off... so that could be a problem? Jun 10 21:13:46 what distro are you using? Jun 10 21:14:41 QtMoko at the moment, but it has been slow in Debian and Android-on-freerunner as well Jun 10 21:17:47 I'm on SHR (FSO bassed) and ocasionaly on the other Jun 10 21:18:07 I read somewhere about a problem with GPS when accessing the SD card at the same time... of course my maps for NeronGPS are all on the SD card... Jun 10 21:18:07 qtmoko with a 2.6.34 kernel ? Jun 10 21:19:10 yes Jun 10 21:23:36 the problem exist only on the first batch of GTA02 ( I've just got a fix in the since my last answer ) Jun 10 21:25:00 Just before I could connect the external anthena on omgps (using UBX protocol) Jun 10 21:25:54 I will test now with qtmoko Jun 10 21:26:29 OK, this one should be quite recent... unless Pulster sold me an older one :) Jun 10 21:29:37 the fix is visible on the uSD connector , but mine one of the first sold from Pulster (the Spanish group) and works Jun 10 21:29:58 on qtmoko screen Jun 10 21:30:20 startnit neron gps n recording Jun 10 21:31:36 waiting for fix ( I'm near a .5 msquared window under a concrete roof) Jun 10 21:34:03 yes, that's how I do it as well, but e.g. today in the car it took more than 5 minutes until fix Jun 10 21:34:27 but I'll try to put the clock right, it was now more than 5 minutes off... and try again tomorrow outside Jun 10 21:34:36 it's getting late here :) Jun 10 21:35:16 here to GTM+1 Jun 10 21:37:39 currently (in summer) it's GMT+3 here (Finland) Jun 10 21:38:53 jluis, I just got GPS connection pretty quickly (1-2 mins?) even by the window after setting the time correctly! Jun 10 21:39:10 jluis, thanks for mentioning about the time, that might have been the problem for me :) Jun 10 21:40:08 there mus be another problems mine got it in just more than 10 minuts wit the correct time Jun 10 21:40:40 concrete roof? Jun 10 21:41:21 here it's a pretty clear view by the window Jun 10 21:42:10 yes Jun 10 21:42:49 my house was build like a bunker Jun 10 21:42:55 but yesterday in the same place I had no luck... now with correct time it was pretty quick (don't know exactly since I wasn't looking all the time :) Jun 10 21:43:43 anyway, the time-thing might have just been my problem... I'll do more tests tomorrow outside Jun 10 21:43:44 time is one of the most important thinks on gps Jun 10 21:43:53 thanks a lot for the help!! Jun 10 21:44:16 was just lucky Jun 10 21:44:31 well, it helped anyway :) Jun 10 21:45:38 if the FR has agps data is faster usualy an order of magnitude 1 to 10 Jun 10 21:46:26 try omgps it can talk directly to the gps and uses the agpsdata Jun 10 21:48:39 so it can push ephemerides ( ~ 1 month ) and other data (I dont rememeber the name ~ 2hr) that could short much the fix time Jun 10 21:52:23 almanac Jun 10 22:00:05 jluis, thanks, I'll try that tomorrow, now sleep for me :) Jun 10 22:00:35 Good Night :P **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 11 02:59:57 2011
