Re: DavidinCT's VZW xv6800 A-GPS guide
Update: Ultimately went with RyanMogul's 6.5.3 ROM. Getting a 3D fix in about 30 seconds.
Not sure if the gpsOne server is being polled, since I have the data block, but I suspect Verizon opened up the Alltel IP address even on the data block. That, or the gpsOne silicon can get a faster 3D lock with autonomous mode and tower data alone...
... My connections are much faster when the phone radio is powered up than when powered down.
In all, this keeps impressing me about gpsOne as a well-thought out technology that was needlessly locked down by Verizon. Look at all the GPS apps on iPhone, look at what could have been had Microsoft mandated open GPS from day one.
