Re: Verizon - Living with the new Stock Rom [6-11-09]

[quote=CheezWiz;970678]This thread is for those of us who are choosing to run the new Verizon Stock ROM.
I will update this first post with links and procedures discovered to improve the use of the new stock ROM like getting tethering to work..

I have looked and looked and have not found a discussion on how GPS works on the new Verizon Stock Rom on my Verizon Touch Pro.

I bought an external GPS receiver and I can't seem to get it to work.

The instructions say that the blue blinking light will go steady when you are paired.
Mine will not stop blinking but the phone says it is paired.

When I run Google Maps, it says it is gathering info from the Satellites, but then I notice my data session is active so I have to assume the interaction with Google Maps is through the data connection rather than from the external GPS receiver.
I close the data session, but it will start up again and again.

Could someone explain to me how this is supposed to work? I am in touch with the vendor of the External GPS and I don't know if I have a problem or not.

Do I have a problem, and if so, what should I do about it?

Thanks.
