Every time I see a post with a GPS connection problem I refer them to the above link. There are other hack that work but this one totally unlocks the GPS to function without data the way it should be.
Are you SURE this is the case for XV6900's that shipped even last week? That is when I just got ,mine, brand new from Verizon...I used that link for making my XV6800 work (previous phone), and it DID work fine, butr althought I have done the steps 3 times in a row now on thie XV6900, it STILL will not get a GPS signal, not even see any satellites after 10 or 20 minutes!
