Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

Someone mentioned in the first few posts that this works on all carriers except Sprint. I am assuming the IP address that does the aGPS belongs to Altel, isn't that going to be carrier specific? i.e. I am on US Cellular, how would Altel's server know where my towers are in order to get a position for it to use to seed the GPS?

Don't get me wrong, I plan to try this, because I'm sick of 5-10 minute locks personally. I flashed my friends phone (also on USCC), we walk outside, I click on GPSToday, and within 3-5 seconds it had 4 satellites and within 10 seconds had his position. I tried mine today, every stop light I came to I tried to refresh, and even let it keep trying as I was driving, and after 15 minutes, nada....

I'm just thinking some phones are better than others. But hell, if this even slightly improves my sync time, I will be happy as possible.
