It seemed like the phone was always defaulting back to Baudrate of 57600 so i decided to try that. What do you know it worked! Satellites were fixed! I went into google maps and turned on GPS but to my dissapointment it didn't work. I went into the settings and changed the port to 4 and the Baudrate to 57600 and I got like satellites right away!
I know there have been a couple of questions if we need to run the GPS tool everytime. It seems like NO. I soft reset my phone then opened Google Maps and it worked!
So to sum it all up. Try Baudrate of 57600...
Thanks again Bored!!!

Ok, here are a couple things i know... Yoiu haved to change all settings to ruin on Com4. I run google maps, TT7, and live search and hgave a-GPS fixes everytime with my ROM. Same should be said for stock. My ROM has differnt drivers than most Custom ROMS because I ripped the drivers straight from the stock ROM. No one else did that. Maybe GC, but he just came out with it and havent hadtime to play with it.
You must activte usiong *22899 then apply fix on my ROM and reboot again. THEN TUrn on location setting.
I noted it really does matter WHEN you turn it on. You have to play the toggle on off game if you turn it on too early, like before the second PRL puupdate.
Another thing about it workgin on my ROM; MY Rom clears PPST each time it hardrests with the VZW PRL. THis means you are reverted back to Stock PRL each time you hard reset. You are applying the Bored PRL fresh on my ROM each time. Then when you apply the fix per posted instructions you will have a GPS lock in under 30 seconds. I am mroe than confident my ROM is letting it use aGPS as well as the stock ROM.
I am posting a simplied set up of this fix in my ROM. llllBoredllll and i came to a mutual agreement that I would package up his technology in my next ROM so all users would have a garunteed simplified install. I am alomst done so if your struggling to get this to work I haved a one size fits all solution. I just need to confirm it works on multiple flashes so I will be flashing it a few times then posting the instructions in a sep thread if anyone is interested. I need to ruin and get breakfast though... Hehehe... long night working on this last night.
Its nothing super special but it makes this easier and its perfectly reproducable.
