Re: Non Stock ROM Problems

I noticed using regedit that the 'Location On' Reg entry was set to a 1 rather than a 0 as shown below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\Locat ionSetting]
"ServiceDescExt"="but will not hide your general location based on the cell site serving your call. No application or service may use your location without your request or permission. GPS enhanced 911 is not available in all areas."
"ServiceDesc"="Turning location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS technology, making some Sprint PCS applications and services easier to use. Turning location off will disable the GPS location function for all purposes except 911,"
"ItemMessageDesc2"=""
"ItemValue2"=dword:00000003
"ItemName2"="OFF"
"ItemMessageDesc1"=""
"ItemValue1"=dword:00000000
"ItemName1"="ON"
"ItemCount"=dword:00000002
"ServiceTitle"="Phone: Location Setting"
"ServiceName"="Location Setting"
After changing


"ItemValue1"=dword:0000001
to
"ItemValue1"=dword:0000000


I rebooted and still no success.

After running 'Advanced Config' and changing the 'Phone' to use the default Windows Dialer, then changing the 'Location On' (witout a waitcursor)

then reapplying the GPS patch steps finally allowed me to have success with my own and other ROMs.[/quote]

Very interesting. I couldn't get it to work on NexVision's ROM. I followed the registry steps above and then was able to get 10 sats, 5 locked, working great, on Sunday. After turning the phone off overnight, it once again does not work at all. Clearly some setting is not staying set, or is getting overwritten when the phone boots. It isn't the reg setting, that remains ok. I have checked everywhere I can think of, and all else looks right. Any ideas?
