Quicker GPS fix?

Did search but I cant find how to get my unlocked Omnia to get a faster fix on sats. I use google maps, set the com and speed as suggested. Does the HTC quick GPS patched from Adrynalen work?

Do you have the CF03 Official Verizon ROM? This uses an aGPS system that will get a prelim lock before the satellites lock.

The CGPS Titanium panel works great, too. Turn it on, and it gets a lock every five minutes. If I know I will be using my GPS, I just turn it on ahead of time and then when I open Google Maps, it locks nearly instantly.

I dont know for sure but it does seem to get that prelim triagulated lock. It puts me like within 4000 meters but even then it takes like 5 to 10 minutes to lock in. (after the initial lock in)

Adyn's will help but realisticly you'll need a program that keeps a GPS lock like cGPS or GPS gate

Re: Quicker GPS fix?

I use like, everything and I have had no problems getting locks anymore (and if you had read these forums many months ago, you would see that I was one of the main ones who could never get gps locks). Anyways, Im not sure which out of all these things has helped the most, since I use all of them, but something has helped for sure:

-Gpsgate (had to pay 20 bucks for it, you may want to try all the other things first and leave this as a last resort)
-CGPS Titanium Panel
-Adrynalyn's HTC Quick GPS patched
- GPS Settings cab extracted from Omnia Lite, found here, 5th from the top in the list:
