Tell me about it. I am asking because VZW has problems with their aGPS noted by a ton of people not getting instant locks anymore, or they have found a way to lock out everyone not accessing through VZnav suckware.

I am trying Alltel first cause of the merger, then Sprint. Just curious since you seemed to know. Thanks man.

Do you have a definative way to tell if aGPS is helping or that it is doing what it should?

you'll get a feel for the difference.. stand alone will take a bit to get a lock if it's been a while since last lock, but it's faster at re-acquiring after wakeup than agps. also in the basement you'll be able to see the difference between them.
apps; visualgpsce also check out cameraware buddy w/ navizon

btw, htc quickgps will help with either gps or agps

I think Alltel (Verizon) has locked out the standalone gps capability. I have the 6.1 ROM and have all the gps settings set like are suggested in these forums, but both Garmin XT and Google Maps are unable to locate a GPS device on my 6800. I don't have a data plan--can't afford it. From what I have read here Garmin (& Tom Tom) should work without a data plan.

What rom are you running? Are you a Alltel or Verizon user?

I have the Alltel ROM 3.52.671.9 and am an Alltel customer. The ROM update seems to be only to allow the internal gps to be utilized by Alltel Navigation.

Hello all. I figure this would be the best place to ask. I have read through most of the post in this thread with no luck. I am using a Verizon VX6800 with WM 6.1 the MR1 update rom ver 3.57.605.1 and radio version 3.37.75 I also have Valhalla Legends installed. I just today hard reset my phone. (I had the MR2 update but reverted back because I though it could have been my problem.) I have followed the steps turning on the location setting as well as checked all the external gps settings which are correct. I have allowed my phone to run the gps viewer program outside for an hour and still cannot get any satelight locks with it nor google maps or windows live search. I do have the unlimmited data package and connected to the net when I tried this. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions? Would the steps in the link provided by drewcam888 a couple of post ago work for my device? I really don't want to risk bricking my phone if that particular tutorial will not work. Thanks and I apprciate any help.

My understanding is that you need both a gps enabled radio rom and a custom system rom. The 'stock' VZW roms MR1/MR2 don't work from what I last read. I didn't bother trying it with MR1 or MR2 because once I was ready to flash the radio rom I was anxious to try out ppckitchen at the same time. Kevin
