Re: aGPS fix for Verizon phones: MR1 update or custom

Not that it matters, but I tried both fixes...the 'fix' cab and then finally rolling back from MR1 and doing a custom ROM. My experience is as follows:

The fix doesn't need QPST at all. It works for Google maps just fine, but if you have a program that wants direct access to the GPS (like BeeLine), it sees the locks, the NEMA data or something is all wacked.

The roll-back/custom rom/qpst route was very easy and appears, to me, to have several advantages:

* All GPS applications work great
* The GPS seemed to track quicker. the fix method seemed to be a second or 3 behind my position, but a custom rom is right there
* Finally...hey...it's a custom rom...what's not to love? DCD 4.1.2 is what I'm using.
