Hello everyone. I can not say with 100% certainty, but I never had problem like what I came across today. I had to use the GPS mode and Drive GPS signal was lost from time to time until I arrived at my destination, even the sky being clear. I installed the latest version of FasterN9 and this is the first time you use the GPS after that.

Just wanted to share my experience here: So I decided to tweak my phone after I had enough of 360p mp4 videos lagging pretty badly. Also I wanted to use the N9 QuickTweak app together with FasterN9.
I had flashed my phone once before to PR 1.3 but that was quite some time ago so my phone was already full of apps with inception and other stuff installed.
I proceeded to first install FasterN9 and straight on without a reboot N9 QuickTweak, installed the follow tweaks in one go:
A Speed Up Transitions MODs (Only Speed Up Transitions)
C Change smartsearch priority
Q Enlarge Caller ID Avatar
R Change standard emoticons
X Enlarge/Restore conversation font size
Rebooted and... wow. I have the smoothest, fastest harmattan, ever. And of course videos stopped lagging. About GPS, I feel it's getting the signal faster than before. It's been a few days and no problems what so ever.. tried to reboot many times, no probs.
many thanks to everyone involved!

The A mod are transitions smooth or just quick. Because i think it works by shortening the transitions which i think might not look smooth.

are you by any chance connected to a charger while using gps? Because it's known issue that gps behaves strangely when plugged into power for certain chargers. I typically unplug the charger for the gps to regain signal and plug it back again.

Hmm.. I noticed a significant increase in idle battery consumption after uninstalling the previous version and installing the latest one.
My phone almost dies by the end of the day, but with v0.9.7, I could go up to 1.5 - 2 days straight without charge.
I didn't install anything else that would run in the bg.. and I only noticed this after installing Faster N9. Did anyone else, notice this?

So far the only problem I've faced has been gps issues and I'm using a freshly flashed N9, which is a good indicator. The camera I think may be related to your N9 and some installed app or tweak, as I haven't had any issues with my camera yet. Also the tracker issues arrn't related to fasterN9, I am using it and so far tracker hasn't been an issue. Ask people to flash their N9's then install fasterN9, all of their problems will go away. I have been agressively testing your App and so far it works nothing short of flawless except for gps lock on time. And to test I removed fasterN9 and checked gps to see if it ran and it locked on much quicker with out it, then reinstalled it and gps lock on was slower.
EDIT: By the way I'm still using version 0.9.7, any one care to update if 0.9.10 is any good? Any GPS problems?

^ GPS works fine.. I notice a slightly higher battery usage. Perhaps I'll switch back to 0.9.7.

I eventually needed to flash as I needed the phone for my trip and thus ran out of time to try. If something like this happens again I am much better equipped to handle it.
