Hmm that is odd. I'm guessing yours worked before you did the GPS mod? I have no problems with holding lock when the screen is on...only when the screen is off
What build and kernel are you running?

Never did the GPS mod. Running B40 right now, always LK. Have also tested it on B36 and B39 with no problems.

I see. I played around with it a little after configuring the GPS with FasterFix, and found that I have no problems keeping a GPS lock when the phone is charging, but it will not keep GPS lock when it is running on battery alone. I think this is due to the fact that I have "Stay Awake while charging" checked in Dev Options...so it won't go to sleep and turn the GPS off.

But, shouldn't Google Nav force the device to stay awake while it's running whether it's running off battery or not? I think the problem is that Navigation isn't doing that...or more likely, that there is something interfering with it forcing the device to sleep when the screen is off as some sort of power-saving measure. All my "power saving" tools in ROM control are turned off though...

This is odd behavior it is not supposed to do that. Are you sure you are not running some kind of app that is interfering with it? Could you list your apps here or do you have too many? Have you tried uninstalling maps and re-downloading and installing it fro Google market/play?
 
I heard this weekend. I was hoping it'd be up last night.... I don't Twitter, but I guess Roman does. He give any clues about it?
 
As I see it, it's only up in goo.mgr. Frankly, I can't see any difference between b40 and m6.
