Sorry, can't figure out why it's not working for you. The GPS library is a ridiculous reverse engineering effort (by some xdandroid developers, not me) based on calls to the rpc router obtained from winmo dll-s. The rpc router itself is a black box to me, and the only thing I know how to interpret are messages like this one

D/gps_rpc ( 1302): pdsm_xtra_set_data() is called: clnt_stat=0

(and their counterparts in the dmesg output.)

clnt_stat=0 is what you want, meaning RPC_SUCCESS, i.e. we hailed the rpc router with a correctly formatted message and it returned success. So looking at your log it *should* be working.

I don't recognize your radio version and/or carrier. Is this a cdma operator? If so, I am not suggesting you do this, but perhaps the verizon radio (which I am using) makes a difference? Note I am not suggesting you do this, since I have no idea what kind of an effect flashing the verizon radio would have considering you are using the device abroad (could render it useless for all i know).

Yeah, I'm in a CDMA carrier...Maybe it's what you're saying, the radio. My HTC RhodiumW is kind of weird, is a RHOD500 with the keyboard layout of a RHOD400. My device is still under waranty so I'm not gonna mess with the ROM/Radio... Now that I think about it, on Windows Phone 6.5 is very difficult to me to get a faster lock just using QuickGPS, I always had to use the "HTC GPS Tool" app with the "Cold Start" option to get a faster lock. I just wish to have an app like that for Android

There is, GPS Status.

Tytung's app should work as well. However, there still are some things that are not implemented, so they might not work.

What radio version are you running? It's quite possible the radio version is the culprit, as that also has GPS stuffs in it.

For some reason, my signature is not showing..My radio version is 2.21.00WV

I also have heard that my city have some kind of problem with GPS system I know, it sounds weird but some people of the same carrier with the same phone reports biggest success getting a GPS lock outside of my city just using QuickGPS and Google Maps under Windows Phone. Anyway, GPS is not something that I use everyday...I will try again this week on my university since it has a perfect unobstructed view to the sky, maybe I'll get better luck

Sounds strange indeed.

But you're already on a Verizon radio, so I would suggest upgrading to 2.37WV. Like I said, you're already on a WV radio.
