GPS fix on Blackberry 8800 [FIXED]

[RB]

I have been using acctracking for about a week on my 8800 Blackberry.
When it works, it works great! but there is a glitch that I see everyday:
when the software loses a fix or the BB goes to "sleep" mode after a period of inactivity, and a certain amout of time passes, the software will no longer pick up a fix, even perfect conditions.
Refresh does not help, as it very quickly goes back to "No fix. Waiting..."
Some times the GPS on the device appears to have stopped as well, but restarting it through a different software (like BBMaps) does not help Accutracking to find a fix. It appears as if the Accutracking software "gives up" permanently after a while.
The only way that I have found to make Accutracking actually look for and find a GPS fix again is to close the program (not run on background) and restart it again. When this is done, the program usually finds a GPS fix within a few seconds. Until everything goes back to sleep, that is...


Any ideas/suggestions for a fix or workaround?!?

Thanks in advance.

We are investigating this... Thanks for the feedback!

Blackberry 7100i does same thing when it cannot get fix. The only way to get it to work is to close the application and re-start. Have verified this over the last week. As long as it can get a fix it stays active.

I think the latest beta is v3.0.4 at wap.accutracking.com/bb/beta. Try that link from your BB.

Hi, the new version 3.0.5 for BlackBerry is available for download. It should fix the "losing fix" problem. Please uninstall the old version and install the new one.
