Re: Verizon GPS Fix.....Phase I

I am using the stock rom, followed all of the directions for install. Did the aGPS fix. And it doesn't work.

I sometimes get 1-3 satellites used but it never locks on.
This is inside my house, I haven't tried it outside since it is snowing.
However, a Sprint Mogul phone was able to lock on instantly, so its not the house.

Does anyone know if the stock rom has the capability to do true aGPS? The SUPL AGPS registry key was blank with nothing in it, which may be a bad sign. The GC Verizon aGPS.cab adds three entries into it, but not all you would normally see. I added the rest in manually, but still no go.

Any Ideas?
Not sure about true aGPS but from where I am sitting with two phones side by side VZ Nav locks at about the same time google maps and live search does. It feels like aGPS but I cannot say for certain.

This morning when I woke up after letting it be for a few hours it locked in under 60 seconds. 60 seconds seems to be about average, longest it was 2 minutes and the fastest was 5 seconds.

Once you get the very first lock after applying the fix it seems to work fine after that. The first lock is hardest to get.

BTW: I did this in my basement office completely below ground. Thats another reason I think its aGPS. No phone normally locks down here without aGPS.
