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.

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.
i dunno what you are talking about. Because i uninstall my nokia maps alreadyWhat I do is, switch on phone, stand in the middle of the field, clear sky, no clouds, no trees, no building block.

Cold start u open the GPS window u see no satelitte
Warm start is u connected to GPS before same day or previous day. It already have the GPS location of yesterday. So it can connect faster compare to COLD because it need to slowly find.
