Why did it used to work since at least may of 2013 then? I may be wrong stating that it was indeed working, I didn't test for the A of AGPS functionality ...

The reason why I came to this thread was, that I noticed in June that Skype location status wasn't working any more . The satelite icon next to the green Skype status icon was blinking constantly. But when starting Nokia maps app, after some minutes I got a fix and the Skype location was shown and kept updated as long Nokia maps was running. Without Nokia maps the dish icon started blinking again after some minutes. I used supl.google.com since 2011 .

But since I switched to supl.vodafone.com , Skype location status is working again as I was used to (without having to start Nokia maps). So my problem is solved somehow ...

But I got curious about the A for GPS and checked location-test-gui, together with syslogs. I wonder what would be spit out by the logs if AGPS *is working*. I get a lot of satelites in view, but never in use.
Can someone outline a scenario, how to use location-test-gui without any misleading side effects like cached data and so on? Like
- set supl.xxx.com in settings
- shut down
- travel some kilometers (?)
- start up N900
- start location-test-gui, choose AGNSS
- wait 1 (?) min
- If you see your right position then, AGPS is working (?)...
- What shows location-test-gui if it fails (?) ...
- What do the log files look like when OK or failure (?)

I mean some easy steps to do, to get comparable results. Instead of just "I got a fix in my country xyz" or "No it doesnt work here" ...

Thank you.

Side note: Skype location status on N900 might be a questionable feature nowadays, but still the only mobile Skype implementation with that functionality ... thats why I love it.
