I'm sitting in my office right now, looking at VisualGPSCE showing me 5 satellites, 4 in use, within a minute of resetting and starting the program. Normally, after 4-5 minutes I'll get 1 or 2 satellites to show up and occasionally after 10 minutes a third will register, but there will never be enough to get a fix in this location, ever. Here at work I'm on the top of 3 floors with a large window and excellent EvDo service. I'll try it at home where there's no cellular signal at all. If this helps by enabling aGPS I'd expect to see no improvement over the usual performance in that location.

I do not accept the "placebo" arguments since I am able to get a strong position fix in a location where this has never been possible before over multiple trials. The only change is the registry hack. Further, when I change the value back to "2" and reset, I am no longer able to obtain a position fix. I even drew an outline of the phone on my desk pad to ensure the handset's position was identical over the trials.

I'm using the "stock" leaked 3.16 ROM on Sprint. I run QuickGPS frequently.
