Re: OFFICIAL Telus 6.1 ROM w/GPS and Rev. A - R 3.41.00, D 3.07

YAY! I'm going to reply to my own message! Haha! Maybe I'll "Thank" myself after!

Okay.. I went back into QPST and messed around thinking that there was some kind of relationship between it and my GPS working or not. I had my GPS working twice and it BOTH times were after I was fiddling. I don't see how that could affect things really but I figured, WTH?

Now... The settings in the original post here are as follows...

Allowed = checked
Assistanc-Spherical = checked
PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92
PDE Port Number = 8889
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation = PDE

When comparing it to the settings for the Titan from the XDA Titan post, I noticed a difference.

PDE Transport = DBM *NOT* IP

So, I tried it... I also ran the "a1jatt_Enable_Smart_GPS" cab which is supposed to make a registry change that will enable smart gps. What the change is or does, I don't know.

The end result is locks on 7 - 9 satellites in my house within 7 - 20 seconds. I've soft reset 5 times to make sure and it seems to be running okay!

I missed this before because the Titan page has screenshots of QPST and narrative says to ONLY to check the boxes and NOT to do anything else. If you look at the screenshot, you'll see the difference in the settings.

Even the original XDA post I read has the same setting as the posts here and everywhere else with PDE Transport = IP.

I don't know if it was the PDE Transport change in QPST, the registry settings or a combination of both but it works now!

XDA post with links to the registry mod and Titan fix can be found HERE


Hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine.
