Problems with Android
The Internet is obviously full of information regarding solving problems that you may face using Android devices. However, since some issues are especially important for mappers below are some solutions to some of these problems.
GPS fix issues
Some users have problems with getting a GPS fix on their Android device(s). Some of these fix problems start straight out of box, sometimes they start after using the device for some time.
A discussion on the HOT list provides two solutions to these problems (both solutions seem to have to do with AGPS information):
1) "changing the NTP server in the 'gps.conf' file" on the device [71] with either an app that does it or manually. (Rooting is required for both options.)
2) using an app (GPS Status & Toolbox = Free) do download up-to-date AGPS data [72] (download link). (No rooting required.)
