Lightbulb New potential GPS fix work for you?

I am posting this because as a highly sceptical Verizon user I have tried everything to get my gps to work over the last 2 motnhs and this if the first thing to actually give me real results.

What I am posting is based on this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=32703 (Thanks to fredcatsmommy for posting the files originally)
I am not responsible if you install this (seems to be the trendy thing to say :P)

Here are the steps:
-Under HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS check that reg value "GPS Mode" is 4
-Under HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS added dword key "EnablePDEIPFromNV " and value of 1
-Downloaded the attached zip and extract the 3 files, copy them to your \Windows directory on your 6900.
-Install them in order of 1, 3 , 2 (based on first character of filename), 1 and 3 will not give an install message, you'll just see the screen refresh. 2 will run a regular install message.
-You MUST now (typo said not) soft reset your phone before it'll work

I do have to run GPS Viewer to prime from a cold start. I get locks in about 1 minute, sometimes up to 90 seconds.

I would like to get some semi-scientific which is why I am starting this pole.

ps, any way to edit typos in a poll?
