Re: Any luck for Bell Mobility user with the new Alltell rom
yah same thing for me ludester. Although I can get a lock sometimes when outside, most of the time it just uses the nearest cell tower as my position. I have done the regedit (GPSmode 2-->4) and also have been using gpsviewer first to try to lock. GPSviewer seems a little better in getting a lock but its still really erratic. It will lock for a few minutes indicated by the blue (most I have seen are 4 sats) but mostly it just "sees" the sats and then drops them. I tested this while in my car (moving and stationary) and also outside just walking around. I got googlemaps to follow me for a little bit (still erratic tho) but it stops working after a bit. When it stops working I reset my phone and it will work again for a little while.
I am in Halifax on aliant (pretty much bell) so maybe it has something to do with this region? I know that Mixxy who posted above said he was in TO and it worked pretty well...
A few things I am wondering about--
Has anybody tried changing other registry settings in SUPL AGPS? Like changing EnableAGPS, EnableGPSSmartMode, and even changing GPSmode to something like 1 or 3 (opposed to 2 or 4 which have been tried before). There are also some other settings in there that I have no idea what they do, including an entry for serverIP as 195.207.101.126. What is that IP and would it have any effect on the accuracy of the gps. I am using JD's first gps rom and I think its for an american carrier so maybe this should be changed?
Any ideas?
sorry I just had a large Tim's and am rambling
