Re: GPS sees plenty of satellites but can't get a fix (video attached)

I have good and bad news to report. I did a clean install of the latest Alltel release on my phone. right after that I loaded total commander and dotFred Task Manager (sorry I don't have the links, they are on my laptop, I'm on my desktop and in a hurry. I'll try to post them later if someone doesn't beat me to it). I installed the kickstart exe and cab and compared the files in the cab to the files in my windows directory, different dates and file sizes! Using total commander, I was able to copy the files over the existing files and determine the ones that wouldn't. After that I used the task manager to stop the gps service and rename the ones that I couldn't copy over and then copy them in. soft reset and no joy. I went to bed and watched Scrubs. The next morning I tried again and GOT A LOCK (GPS View)! Brought up google maps, zoomed in, I was looking at my study! (kidding). I closed google, checked my email and opened google again. IT DIDN'T WORK. So, That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Wish I had more, but I'm sure the guru's here can use that info to help us laymen.
