There 3 method of locking to GPS
Cold Start , Warm Start and A-gps ? Which u are talking?
Not sure what you mean by cold/warm start, on device or GMXT or ?
What I do is, switch on phone, stand in the middle of the field, clear sky, no clouds, no trees, no building block.
Set either with/without A-GPS (test two times)
Run GMXT, sometimes it doesn't lock even in 5 minutes.
So, what I do is, exit GMXT.
Then run Nokia Maps.
Before Nokia Maps lock, I run GMXT again.
Then wait. Normally within <1 minute, Nokia Maps will lock and immediately GMXT will lock also.
Then I close Nokia Maps, and navigate with GMXT
I tried both in N82 (with integrated GPS) with A-GPS and without A-GPS. Both same results.
My conclusion: Intermittently, GMXT cannot lock onto satellites by itself even >5 min with my device, but once run Nokia Maps, it is like Assisted-GPS-Software to boost locking.
Added on March 20, 2009, 2:09 pmJust to add:
1) If Nokia Maps can lock, GMXT sure can lock
2) If Nokia Maps cannot lock, GMXT sure cannot lock no matter wait how long
3) If GMXT can lock, Nokia Map can lock ? -> Never happen before, always Nokia Maps lock first
4) If GMXT cannot lock, Nokia Map = ? -> Never happen before also.
