Before it used to work that after few seconds it said something like "No GPS device could be found... Retry?". If I selected "No" then the Mapper quit trying, just like it should.

I was wondering if the latest software installs (RTComm, UKTUBE, MicroB) coudl have caused this... but I tried uninstalling RTComm with no chance in behavior. I didn't try to uninstall the other software yet, since I could not think why they would have anything to do with this... or can they?

Anyone seen the same, or know how to resolve this?
UPDATE: I purchased another N800 and after I flashed it to the latest firmware (without restoring backup), installed xterm, RTComm, Skype, MicroB, Mplayer and MaemoMapper it does exactly the same thing!!! Clearly this problem is reproducible....

Gnuite: Do you have any idea why is this happening? I suspect RTComm has something to do with this... Maybe I just need to reflash back to stock and install apps one by one to determine which one causes this?
