[Q] GPS Problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just installed Runnymede AIO 6.0.4.1 on my HTC Desire and my GPS is hardly working. I takes at least 2 minutes to find a signal (that's if it finds it). I tried several servers but none worked like before with the stock ROM.
If I put the default gps.conf (below), it works but it takes very long.
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

I tried this trick but then it didn't work at all. I put "europe" for REGION and "ro" for COUNTRY (I live in Romania ofc).
Any idea what to put there to make it work as it should? With stock ROM it only took a few seconds to find satellites.
Please help .

you try faster fix from the market?
Also found google supl servers work best for my phone

On my Desire S does it work very well.
Install through recovery and than try gpsfix again.

I did that but still nothing. In GPS Status I noticed I get signal from 1-4 satellites but none of them gets locked, no matter how long I wait. The gps.conf file was modified by the way.
Any other fix, anyone?

Trouble with Ace Cream Rom 1.4

Hi,
I've installed the rom without skipping any steps. But i cant use ant of browsers when only wi-fi connection is open. Browsers does not open any pages. But google play and sync. works fine. When I open 3G, i can surf on browsers.
I tried re-install the rom. Still same.
Is there any body who faced that problem?
(I've written here, because I can not write the developping room because of the 10 message rule)
