Re: need help with gps

VisualGPS would find up to 5 satellites outdoors and none indoors and would never lock on to a single satellite.

I soft-reset a dozen times, checked and re-checked the QPST stuff from XDA and checked and re-checked my registry settings . Everything was fine but still no dice. I was getting ready to clear my weekend for a hard-reset when I thought to try removing the battery for 30 seconds. All be damned if it didn't work!

These Vogues are amazing gizmos but they sure are flaky.

.... never mind.. it only worked one time. GPS is pretty useless now.
I have gotten the GPS to work with official WM6.1 ROM without any hack or fixes. However I never let the customizations run from day one. The AGPS fix where you use the QPST stuff didn't work for me. Basically every time I wanted to use the GPS I would have to soft reset. Now that I have NFSFAN's Verizon ROM installed the GPS work flawlessly every time. It seems that people are having varying success. I still think a lot of the problem is not unlocking the phone & letting customizations run.
