hmm...will it work on a custom rom?

Or what it we flash a sprint rom to the XV6850 then re-verizon-ize the sprint rom but on the verizon device... I don't think the actual GPS chip is different, just the way the main rom interacts. BTW does anyone know what EXACTLY on the phone persists through all radio, HSPL, and rom flashes?

the VZW PRI persists through all ROM flashes.... I flashed the shipped sprint rom with radio, pri and all.... vzw still stuck..... the custom rom I'm working on doesn't really have anything to do with gps other than I'm gonna go ahead and load sprint drivers for future use.....I'm trying to figure out what limits the PRI from installing....

this may be a stupid question, but is it possible to change the pri on a sprint touch pro? I am curious if the inability to change the pri is somehow verizon specific. If it is able to be changed on other phones, could it be that verizon's dedication of memory to the os that is not user accessible is where they are keeping the pri?

I have a SPCS TouchPRO flashed to VzW with telus radio and VzW PRI with working GPS REVA/EVDO and VVM.... So not entirely sure whats up with that still working with GC testing things...

thanks for the information on the pri...hmmm a real head scratcher

Any ideas on how to get the Sprint PRI onto the VZW device?

It's not the PRI that's causing the GPS not to function. My Sprint TP (on the Verizon network) has the Verizon PRI on it, and we've successfully gotten it to work 100% with AGPS. If it was the PRI that was causing the problem, it wouldn't work on the Sprint device either.

Still again how could I get the Sprint PRI on a VZW device. I could be dead wrong but I still feel if I could get the Sprint PRI to load then go back to VZW PRI the GPS very well might work. I've been all thru the NV values, used sprint ROM's, config'd for AGPS yet it still doesn't work. I'd like to completely rule out the PRI. I know you guys are running Sprint phones with VZW PRI's but that don't equate to the same test results because of what you started with.


EDIT: I agree that it's most likely not just a PRI thing. It's more likely something within the original programming that needs to be changed. I want to see if Sprint's PRI changes that. It's worth trying.... atleast to me it is

I am proud to say "You're dead wrong my friend" hahahahahahaha VZW device with working GPS...............f**k yeah..... I'm going to do a little bit more testing before I release my findings but I'm sitting here at my desk with a VZW TP and 8 sats connected
