I have a Motorola Droid 2 that I was using just for Wigle (no cell service), but lately it won't get a GPS lock. Are there any recommendations for low cost Android phones that could be picked up on eBay that work great with Wigle. I'm looking for something that doesn't take a year to get GPS lock and has serious battery life. Also if you had one of the CDMA/GSM world phones would that detect both towers?

Hi,
My HTC Wildfire (A3333, Buzz) works just fine. GPSlock in a few seconds and at least 1 hour battery life, although I mostly use it with carcharger.
I put Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Android 2.3) on it and there are no other apps active when I use WigleWifi. Bought it for € 50,-.
Have to say that I use it in plane-mode with only wifi turned on, to minimise energy-consumption.

I've been outside the box. There's a bigger box.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and eventually you will run out of fish.
