Made GPS lock much slower; resolved by reverting changes #38

Description

@kentchristopher

I installed FasterGPS last year, likely when I was in Europe, in case that makes a difference (since geography does come into play here). I never noticed any problems.

I've now been in the US the past few months, and within the past month or so noticed that the GPS on my LG Optimus F3 was taking an unusually long time to get a lock. The other night I decided to look into the issue and installed GPS Test. Running the test I saw that my GPS was only picking up one satellite, despite holding it for at least a minute up to a southern-facing window.

I went into FasterGPS and restored the original configuration. Running the GPS test again in the same location, I picked up several satellites and got a GPS lock quickly.

Per the suggestion on Google Play I'm leaving this here as a bug report instead of giving a bad review to try to help out.
