I tried this a few times, in multiple places Then in the same position after running QuickGPS for the first time in the original spot, I was able to within a minute.

Even after you close a "primer" it is warm and should lock quickly next time you open it..It seems trial and error is the key to finding what works best for your setup....I get the same results as far as quickness to lock with gps viewer and gps today although I have noticed a difference in the # of locks when you check gps status in either primer or in TOM TOM ........

im pretty certain that ppst exe will work on any and all sprint vogues...everytime. it is not hard and there are no secret tips.

THIS IS ALL YOU DO ONCE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT RADIO AND A GPS ROM:
run the ppst cab.
run ppst.exe
allow soft reset.

THATS IT k guys lol?

and just to clarify...

the only time that it is still going to be "warm" is if you run it within 4 hours of your last gps connection...regardless of primers. it is either 4 or 8 hours, i have heard/read both from respectable sources/ppl. but you dont have you use a primer to achieve a warm start. in fact a primer does not affect whether it is a warm boot or cold boot ever.

just wanted to clear that up for any readers

also, as has been mentioned here (though it was only mentioned for TomTom), i think i would recommend astrogps as a primer if that is the way you are going to go. seems to be one of the most effective, and is managed automatically. there is just a generic version, a version for TomTom, and a version for something else too i think...(if i remember right).

but either way i would definitely not recommend going the primer way if you are sprint. i think the altell ppst achieves the same thing but i am not sure...

IF YOU ARE SPRINT AND WANT GREAT GPS..DO THIS:
get a gps rom, radio, and b/l.
run ppst cab found in sprint gps sticky, page 14.
run ppst.exe
allow soft reset.

very easy, proven, and logical...(aka makes sense and everything).

primers are for all those out there who still dont have a carrier who has released an update for pri/prl....but if you are sprint, forget priming and upgrade! it works much better everytime...no trial and error or anything.
