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 people have problems getting a GPS fix on their Android device. These problems can start immediately when using a new device, or after using the device for some time.
A discussion on the HOT list provides two solutions to these problems. Both fixes seem to relate to AGPS information:
1) Change the NTP server in the 'gps.conf' file on the device [79] , either manually or with an app that does it. Rooting is required for both options.
2) Use an app (GPS Status & Toolbox = Free) to download up-to-date AGPS data [80] (download link). No rooting required.
3) Improving GPS-antenna performance (hardware "hacking").
