#GPS missing in 4.5 yet still working?

I seem to have some odd issues with a GPS module on 4.5. GPS included in build and configured. I'm even getting a true flag for gps enabled on the GPS tab. No says show up, and no red or yellow GPS icon on the dash up top.
Board is speedybee f4 v3. I did leave off pinio on the build, and added OSD dashboard and gps lap timer options.
I will submit a case. Any suggestions on what additional details needed?

Clarification. 3d fix is true on GPS tab

That means your gps is sending position data that we can interpret, but is not responding to configuration requests and is not sending satellite information.

If you disable auto config you will find the same behavior since the auto config is failing.

No need to submit anything. It’s a problem with your gps module.

ok its working like a champ in 4.3. so potentially an incompatibility with 4.5?

already had the number, not too sure what it sent you. I wanted to catch it before I fell back to 4.3

It's a problem with the module. You need to tell us what module it is. It is not a code problem.

We do not work with all modules now; they must be configurable by the code if you enable auto-config. If they are not configurable, and you enable auto-Config, they won't work.

As I said, disable Auto-Config and set the same baud rate and it should work on 4.5, because then we accept whatever data it sends.

This is not a good module to use in 4.5 because you have no control over the data rate or what is being sent, and that can cause CPU over-runs and delays. Those delays and over-runs will be happening in 4.3 but you're not noticing them.
