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

So I got a fix after waiting for about five minutes outside using the HTC GPS Tool. It still takes 1-2min per fix right now.

This is definitely not aGPS. It doesn't even make the data connection active when it begins acquiring GPS signal as seen on the Sprint Mogul.

I did the QPST aGPS hack and ran the cab by gc14 that adds some 10 registry values to HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS.

Another thing is that Google Maps cannot acquire a GPS lock using "Managed by Windows", and must use the COM Port directly. So any application that relies on GPSAPI calls for GPS data will probably not function.

I suspect there is a difference in GPS drivers between the Sprint and Verizon phones. Can someone compare the GPS registry keys and drivers of the stock Sprint TP and the stock VZW TP?

Thanks,
