Re: Upgrading Tutorial For Verizon XV6900!!! Radio 3.42.30 with working GPS

Thanks for the hard work negamann. I had my GPS working fine before running OMJ's Verizon Rom on Radio 3.35. I had a problem with a software conflict that I couldn't figure out, so I was going to just reflash when I found this thread.

I updated my radio to 3.42 and decided to try DHarvey's Rom. When I tried GPS - BAM!!! Amazing - literally instantly locked in less than 2 seconds. Needless to say I was impressed. Used it on a 2 hour drive flawlessly.

Next day, (after standby of course), nothing. Nada. No fix. (Occasionally sees a couple sats, but never a lock after an hour.

Should I try your Rom instead - I kinda like some of the stuff on DHarvey's Rom. Anyone have any "post-standby" luck w/ DHarvery's Rom - did you have to do anything extra?

Thanks again for everyone's help! Having a blast with my VX6900. (Everyone is floored by the Slingbox I hooked up. Can't wait for NFL games on the phone while I'm at games...)
