You will not be able to use your camera in this mode however, but when you see a picture you would like to take, a quick reboot into low memory mode is all that is required. Also, is your GPS working with programs like Google Maps? I am just curious what vintage of a device you found there as Verizon locked the GPS in later updates.

The device came in with the MR.2 update (Windows Mobile 6.1). I went through countless forum posts to try to find the valhalla and surftelus cabs to enable the aGPS on the XV6800 - and finally found both files and the correct registry edits that work today in 2012.
However, I also have found an excellent piece of software that gets the device a GPS lock called GPS2day. It is a plugin on the standard today screen which displays satellite time, coordinates, speed, and elevation. When you click on the icon, and put the phone near the window or open sky, the phone gets a lock. After that, all GPS apps work flawlessly. I tested this with the stock Verizon MR.2, and got a lock outside each time with the data connection turned off, and the phone module disabled. GPS2day has worked on all internal GPS devices I own - LG Fathom, Samsung Mondi, and the XV6800.
I was very happy I didn't have to update the radio, custom flash (which I have never done, and thought now wouldn't be the best time to start, with all developers leaving Windows Mobile), and that I was able to get the GPS working! I have personally never seen this "fix" listed anywhere. However, now I notice that the phone is slower than the i760 with the same specs, and I wanted to see if a custom ROM would offer me a boost in the device responsiveness.
