Before today, it would take me anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 1/2 minutes to get a lock and I would lock with 5 to 7 sats. With Quick GPS I am getting locks in less then 15 seconds and locking up to 11 sats.
I'll bet if you measure the time from when you start QuickGPS to when you get a lock in the HTC GPS Tool, it will be about the same as what I see with a cold or warm start. Assuming QuickGPS pings the GPS chipset, it should power up and start the cold or warm start operation then. So really what I believe you are accomplishing is the same thing - the total lock time is the same. Again, this assumes that the almanac file QuickGPS downloads isn't actually read by the GPS tool. If it is indeed read, then I would expect QuickGPS to indeed make a huge difference on cold start or powering up after a cross-country flight.

Starting QuickGPS is only once so it candownload the info for the Sats. So 5 seconds to download (once since you can set it to automatically download when it expires) then less then 15 seconds to get a lock. HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM.

So when you want to stop trying to kill posts from Users that are actually trying to help others in the community, you can come talk to me about the GPS.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

Is anyone else having the issue that every time they start the HTC GPS tool the settings have reverted to default?

I still can't get any Sat fixes either. I have no idea what's up. I'm going to upgrade to scroslers 2.1 rom in a little bit when I get back home from break, I'm sure that'll fix it. Just a little annoying.

Yes my HTC GPS tool does the same thing..Doesnt really bother me though, only takes me a second to change to the setting I want.

I've noticed a lot of people forget to turn location to on. I would also take your phone outside and try to get the fix from there.

The config settings dont stick in the HTC GPS Tool. You have to set it up each time.

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

First of all, thank you for this!

May I use this to unlock GPS on my XV6800? I downloaded and installed the CAB until I realized this was written for the Touch Pro. It didn't work, but wondered if there was something I can do to unlock the GPS on my XV6800. I realize it may be beyond the scope of this thread, but I thought I would ask.
