Since it only clears GPS log data using the new CleanGPSData.exe that this fix installs, it should work fine for both GSM and CDMA devices. GPSlog, cache, etc... should be the same across the board for both networks. And at the very least, since we've had Sprint people applying this fix as well without problems, it shouldn't hurt your device at all.

That's what I am trying to get across. No GSM specific DLLs and no GSM specific reg settings means the only bad thing this could do is not work. It won't break or hurt anything at all.

tried this hotfix, still very lag in reporting the actual position still losing locking but it reacquire sats much faster. So all in all slightly better but not FIXED. l(

This is total BS if all this fix does is clearing the cache.

Tested about today with iGO8. Still lagging as always. The streets still lag behind the actual location.

I followed the instructions on this site, http://blog.mohdimran.com/2008/11/ht...-tweaking.html, and my lag is very minimal now.

My Diamond now locks quickly with this hotfix and that's a nice change from the past.

Would be nice to know exactly what they supposedly fixed, but HTC likes to leave out the details on updates.

I was able to use my gps through google maps but wasn't able to get it to work with Live Search. Downloaded the HTC fix and it did not resolve my problem. It still didn't work with Live Search but still worked with Google. I had to do a hard reset for something unrelated and never bothered to reinstall it.
