Hi,

I'm occasionally (about once a week or less, for heavy everyday use) having the issue with GPS hanging on my N9. So far i've not been able to fully recover from it without reboot. Here are some symptoms:
  • GPS status indicator starts and remains blinking when i lanuch a an app that uses GPS
  • no GPS app gets any data from GPS
  • if i close GPS app, the status indicator remains blinking forever until reboot
  • at the same time, if in power save mode, apps don't initiate internet connection - they remain waiting for it
  • if not in power save mode, phone thinks it has connection (either wifi or 3G), but apps mostly cannot use it - e.g. mail sync, calendar sync, facebook, talk.maemo.org, rss keep waiting for connection until timeout, but firefox is able to display web pages.
  • when i do killall positioningd (as root), nothing happens
  • when i do killall nped, it sais that no such process
  • when i do killall wlancond, the blinking GPS indicator goes away, but when i start a GPS app next time, it remains blinking again and no GPS data.
  • mobile calls continue to work normally
  • NFC also continues to work normally, but i have an unconfirmed feeling that it starts taking more than normal time to connect with a tag

So it looks like not strictly GPS issue to me. Does anyone have more ideas what to try?
