Can't get a lock on A-GPS (GPS) status on LG Optimus One P500H

Can't get a lock on A-GPS (GPS) status on LG Optimus One P500H (v10s Android 2.2.1) using the GPS Status Android App (ElipSim) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en

One way to fix this without patching is upgrading to GingerBread 2.3.3 from the LG mobile website

Mobile phones and social relationships

http://blog.dialaphone-blog.co.uk/blog/2008/04/23/10-ways-a-cell-phone-can-ruin-your-relationship/

lol.


on the bright side ...

http://www.healthguidance.org/entry/11764/1/Do-Mobile-Phones-Improve-Relationships.html
"The extent of the phone us was irrelevant but the students felt more social support if they had more contacts. The number of contacts also impacted positively on the number of calls and texts received and texts sent.

It seems then that just as guns don’t kill people (people kill people), mobile phones neither ruin nor improve relationships on their own – this is achieved just fine by the people on either end. "

http://www.smh.com.au/news/phones--pdas/mobiles-key-to-modern-relationships/2007/07/16/1184438206905.html
"according to an Australian-first study, the mobile phone is a crucial aid in modern relationships."

... interesting ...
