Re: Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

I have discovered more about this since messing with it some. running PPST resets the SID in the phone. I have been having this problem since the update and didn't know why until I started running PPST by itself. My SID gets changed to a 1 (default I'm assuming) instead of 120 which it should be. This program also runs during the alltel customization following a hard reset. It also runs another program just before the customization finished and reboots. I just did a hard reset to discover this but didn't notice the name of the last app.

When solo running PPST my SID is reset without a reboot and screws my radio up. Once I reset, it comes up with the SID=1 and I'm stuck on roaming everywhere. I have to think that PPST isn't going to do anything for Alltel phones in its current form.

Edit: I'm going bite the bullet and load OMJ's alltel rom. Thank God someone is making roms for us other carrier folks.
Update. OMJ is pretty nice. PPST runs as you described but still ends up reseting my SID to 1. i fixed it of course and good news, once I remembered to enable locations under the phone I get a lock very quickly - even indoors. down side, i can't get touchpal working. but that's just another development!
