So I think with the Process of GPS DLL's mostly I tried GPSMode=4

GPSMode=1 Does not use Assist.
GPSMode=2 (Default) Uses Data (Assist) and Sats but is exclusive (not sure if Data link is up it can't use assist but when I use it, it does not assist).
GPSMode=4 Uses Data (Assist) and Sats not exclusive (might be less accurate during assist phase but it works).

So with a fairly stable ROM starting in Nigiera and Jumping to Spot on with GPSMode=2 I switched it to GPSMode=4 and bingo. While I wait for Sats I'm bouncing around my ZIP code getting slowly closer to my location but never spot on. Then the Sats come on line.

This mode is discussed in several threads (and probably baked in to some of the Cooked ROMS) but I thought it deserved it's own Thread. Especially for those using Stock AllTel ROM with nothing baked.

I attached a Registry Script of all my Registry GPS settings. They are stock settings expect for GPSMode change to mode 4.
I'm confused.. your sig has a different IP address then this registry file.. which one is hte right one?

Thanks,
