Sprint PRI UPDATE - 5 second GPS locks - cab attached

[medinatwin]

Im using Sprint Navigation (powered by TeleNAv) and it didnt seem to speed things up when locking into my current location (NOTE: Im in a building, possible problem!). Also worth noting is when running the PST file located in the Windows folder, it didnt give a popup, but does stop all comm's. So a soft reset is needed. This is on my mogul with Official Sprint 3.35 ROM.

Faster GPS locks would have been nice though, but for me, so far its the same. Will Post again when Im outside.

LATE,
TWIN

bigredgonzo:

you might want to try 1) hard reset. if for some odd reason that doesnt work then, 2) flash to a newer rom (not sure which one exactly you are using-alltels latest, sprints latest?). and if for some reason neither of these works then good luck, i have no idea...

WOW! thank you so much

I have never been able to get any satelites on my sprint touch and i got 6 in around five seconds.

Anyone know how this impacts using the GPS when NOT in North America? I tried using my Mogul (using TomTom) while in Europe. While using GPS Viewer would show sats being seen, it wouldn't lock (even after very long times in the open and running overnight while plugged in in my hotel window). I'm guessing that the GPS driver isn't allowing a lock outside NA as a method to speed locks within NA (since it can eliminate a large part of the globe).

Anyone tested theirs recently overseas?

I'm also wondering if the internal GPS will work outside of the US because I will soon be travelling abroad.

Running 3.35 radio with no2chem 5067 (my own custom)...My GPS locks in 12-15 seconds (including initiating a data connection and download maps). Downloaded and installed and haven't seen a difference as of yet...

Look in the Vogue Upgrade forums, this is already discussed over there and there is a PPST file for the Vogue out there already. I ran it weeks ago and GPS is working flawless.

Hello, I run the stock as shipped 3.35 rom. I never had a problem with the GPS part of the phone but I decided to try this cab to see if there is a differance. I reset my google maps which cleared my cookie's , history, pref's etc... I then ran Google Maps "Use GPS" and I did this 3 times ( resetting Google maps in between tests ) and it took 00:21sec, 00:28sec and 00:24sec with an average of toggling between 4-5 sat's. I then did this update and checked my PRI before and after to make sure I really did the update. I re ran the test 4 times the same way with resetting in between. 00:31sec ( I got worried ), 00:14sec, 00:13sec and finally 00:13sec. with an average of toggling between 2,3 and 4 Sat's (I wonder why less sat's? ) These were done while sitting at my desk inside a office building.

I'm going to claim complete and utter stupidity here. But, I installed the cab file and WHERE am I supposed to find these "instructions" I'm meant to follow? The only file installed in my \Program Files\Tools directory is cesetup.dll, can't run that, it's a dll.

So, i uninstall and reinstall cab file, no difference.

Perhaps a step-by-step instruction of how to install this file would be helpful, because it's NOT showing up anywhere where PPST.exe can find it when I go to do a PRI update NO .pri files are found.

Yes, viewing all files is checked.
