FINALLY - got GPS working on VZW!!!

I've tried everything. I've been on 1800 different custom kitchens, tried everything everyone said and nothing EVER worked.

I've been playing around with different GPS software (Garmin and TomTom) and thought that Garmin had some special magical power with its intermediate driver that was making GPS work but when I installed TomTom everything went downhill. So I hard-reset, started over and was never able to get another lock again...

...until....

I changed the External GPS settings from 4800 baud to 19200 baud and I get a lock everytime and QUICKLY - like in seconds.

This is the first time I've ever got GPS to work. People on VZW still having problems, try this and report back (make sure you have open sky) and let me know if you get locks.

No priming necessary. I soft-reset, tried again and locked pretty instantly.
