Re: GPS on XV6900 Without Data

First the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_Ship.exe does not lock the ROM as long as you DO NOT LET THE CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN. I have proven this. I was able to obtain GPS locks with Holux GPS viewer without any hacks or fixes. The GPS didn't work great because it took minutes to lock. I would have to soft rest every time I wanted to use it.

Make sure GPS registry settings afterwards are on in HLKM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS:
Registry Key name
value
EnableAGPS
1
EnableGPSSmartMode
1
GPSMode
4
ServerIP
66.174.95.132
ServerPort
8888


This was the only thing that I did.

In order to get TomTom to work I used this fix.

I still had to soft reset every time I wanted to use TomTom because the GPS would not lock after my phone had been off.

I had the same problem with the AGPS fix where the data connection turned on. I went through the process even though I wasn't seeing the same ports the directions showed. I went back in later & restored the old configuration that was saved at the beginning to resolve that issue.

I then flashed NFSFAN's Verizon ROM & now my GPS work flawlessly without any hacks or fixes.

If all else fail I would try the fix posted over at PPC Haven.

After step 4 see if you can get a GPS lock with HTC GPS viewer or the Holux viewer. I you can then flash NFSFAN's ROM & don't worry about the AGPS fix.
