Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

I'm not sure what registry changes you made but I did some playing in HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ that caused me to lose GPS again. Not sure what did it but even returning the settings to default did nothing to help. So for the 15th time I had to do a hard reset and change gps mode for the valhalla key only.

After that I install Baf's GPS Toggle and HTC GPS Tool. I used the cold start option in the GPS tool to get my first lock. I don't know if it made any difference but my GPS is working again.

I tried on the 10th floor roof deck (surrounded by much taller buildings) with no luck. If I need that much clear sky this will never be reliable. I tried Google Maps and Live Search. I've seen people use some kind of GPS viewer to prime the GPS before and wondered if this might help. I don't know what a good app to prime is though. Any suggestions? Does the HTC GPS tool work for this? I have a feeling this might be the final straw after almost 10 years with Verizon. It shouldn't be this hard just to have basic funtionality from my PPC. Funny thing is I am an RF Engineer who has done a lot of work with VZW over the years. Kind of wish I had been involved with AGPS and E911 instead of EVDO so I really knew what was at work here.
