One hard reset later, I was up and running, use google to 'prime' the GPS when I needed it. Now I find I'm in that boat with others. When the unit goes to standby, the GPS never recovers, just staying fixed on it's last known location. I've tried to remove the battery and re-insert, and that appears to get the GPS going again without a hard reset, but it's still not my fav. Last edited by jacksplat; 05-30-2008 at 11:20 PM.

I am going to read up and flash back. Once I have new info I will reply again here. I do have the SAT issue, where getting a SAT is now taking upwards of 10 mns to sync. Steve |

Re: GPS Fixes by Carrier
Being we are non Sprint User the Assistance Server will never accept Requiest from Outer Network so we must have to put the GPS into Autonomous Mode (Self Fixing)
I am using this Setting in SULP (Secure User Plane Client With Extended Ephemeris) Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS] "GPSMode"=dword:00000001 "EnableGPSSmartMode"=dword:00000000 "EnableAGPS"=dword:00000000 GPSMode = 2 means Assisted by Server (Less Optimistic, Somewhat Slow but Medium Accuracy Quality) GPSMode = 4 means Assisted by Server with Extended Ephemeris (Very Optimistic, But Sometime we loose Accuracy Quality) EnableAGPS = 1 Means Enabled AGPS and 0 Disables it EnableGPSSmartMode = 1 Save Downloaded Ephemeris Data and also Send it Assitance Server to Update / Fine Tune Extended Ephemeris Data on Server (Require Internet Connection), 0 Zero Desables this Feature Ephemeris Data = To get Self Fix the Device must know the Position of Satelite in sky, which is called as Ephemeris Data, This is Combined Database which have there Altitude, Latitude, Longitude so the Phone , GPS Device don't have to wait to get Satellites Position from Frequent Satellite Self Position Broadcast by Air

I am actually going to change the setting of Smartmode to 1 since I have an unlimited data plan...yea! Next you talk about a SULP client. Where can we obtain this? Any assistance from you would be ideal. I love to learn. Steve Last edited by spetrillo; 05-31-2008 at 06:03 AM. |

* Installed Quick GPS - didn't help that I could tell. The whole "isn't accessed, needs a middle man" argument seems to make sense * Installed GPS Viewer - I let it run forever and although it kept seeing some sats, it bounced all over and never locked * Put gps mode to 4 * Ran GPS Viewer again and this time got a lock in about 10 minutes. Not speedy at all, and really only hit about 5 sats (after removing battery for 10 seconds) * Hit the forums again trying to figure this mystery out The point I'm at, and again, this must just be becuase it's VZW: * PPST isn't in my device. Even if I found a cab or something of the sort, I suspect running it would cause my unit to implode * PRI version seems to be big for the Sprint devices..they have 2.something and mine is 1.37. Honestly, I'm not even sure what the PRI is (the shame...), but I know for sprint folks, it was updated via customization in the sprint 3.02 rom, which non-sprint folk are told NEVER LET RUN - YOU WILL BRICK PHONE and the such... * I have seen suggestions to allow customizations to run in the sprint rom and then flash the rom of your choice, etc... I've searched these forums 7 ways from sunday and see so many differing opinions, and largely they seem to apply to Sprint (and a few Alltel folks). But even if I assume the instruction is to let the sprint rom run all the way, I'm pretty sure you can't do that on a VZW phone..and just how would I go back anyway?
