I did some tests with the new settings. My observations are based on the
signal strength output in AGPS-UI.
sd_idleclk=1 and sd_drive=2:
The strength of the gps-signal rapidly goes down, then I loose the fix
on my window.
sd_idleclk=1 and sd_drive=0:
I can't see a weakening of the gps-signal. Signal strength seems as good
as with sd_idleclk=0.
I copied some (big) files to and from the card, none were corrupted, all
md5-sums were identical. I'm using a sandisk 4GB SDHC card.
Thanks for the great work.
