Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon
Ok, well I went home at lunch, flashed back to DCD 3.1.6 so that I could get QPST to properly talk to my phone, updated the info in the post for PDE info, wrote it back to phone, reflashed back to 3.2.6 restored from backup, did not touch the registry. Loaded BAF's gpstoggle, turned it on and in about 10 seconds I had 5 satellites locked from inside my house. Mind you, I have plugged in my phone and turned it before, let it sit for an hour and never got a lock in my house. So this is definately an improvement. Went outside later, turned it on from in my garage, again, 4 sats locked. Backed up and had 6 and by the time I got to the highway I was at 7 sats locked. It's raining and overcast out today.
So it appears that their server is open to the public (or at least companys with roaming agreements with them).
So while it may be designed for Alltel, USCC customers apparently can take some advantage of this. Now it's only been 2 hours, so I'm not going to swear in public that this is a permanent fix, I plan to test with it over the next few days, but other than the very first day I flashed my phone, I've never gotten a GPS sync in under 3 or 4 minutes period.
