Is it just my HTC HD or is the GPS On these units ultra slow.
In some un-scientific tests:
When I had an iPhone 3GS then the same tests would take max of 1m to acquire lock. And one of my hobbies is geocaching - with my iPhone it was a real battery drainer and I expect that is no real difference on the HTC HD but would have expected a quicker lock. These times will make it unusable for most circumstances.
So ... is it just my HTC HD or is there a fix or is this a known issue? And can I do anything about it?
I'm on 2.2 if it makes a diff.
In some un-scientific tests:
- it took >20m to acquire GPS lock whilst travelling down a motorway
- whilst sat still and HTC on seat next to me (outside) it took over 5m to acquire a lock
- whilst in London last week it failed to acquire a lock when sat outside teh science museum
