Sprint PRI UPDATE - 5 second GPS locks - cab attached

[eyecannon]

^^^ it should say it's going to reset your phone, then you click ok

This works really well for me, it gave me a lock inside my apartment in 6 seconds flat. Usually it takes at least 45 seconds to get a fix.

Yup I sure did click the one in the windows directory.

Still no prompt though. Looks like it's working. At least for Live Search anyways, just takes 4-5 seconds for GPS now. Google Maps still takes a minute or more.

view all files is on.

It's the file dated 4/7/2008 right? It does turn off radio, but just doesn't prompt. Did a soft reset and looks to be working.

Something I need to be concerned about?

dunno maybe it did it on its own - that date is correct....

do ##778# from the dialer hit view and make sure your PRI version says 2.03_003.... All apps should have similar times getting GPS fixes too - probably just something weird at the moment...

Yup, that's what it says.

Thanks

I did the update from PRI version 2.00_003 to the new PRI version 2.03_003

I dont notice the difference... is just as fast as before to get a lock (8 to 10 secs) and with the same 8 to 9 sats

Can someone help? I tried this on a Alltel HTC PPC6800 with the latest stock ROM, the one that was released just a few weeks ago. I really didn't seem to help the GPS any and now my roaming indicator is on all the time. I tried dialing *228 and updating my roaming and then activating, but it didn't seem to help. I uninstalled the PPST update and tried the *228 thing again, but still no luck. Any ideas?

I did read, but thought that I read that someone else had tried it on another network and it worked. Hopefully, one day, I'll get to the point where I don't make mistakes too!!

Enough said about that. Does anyone have any idea about undoing the mess that I have caused?

this cab made my gps less accurate and slower to lock on....... oh well.

using original sprint 3.49 test rom.
