weedahoe, I am wondering if when you did the rom were all those in the rom? I am getting ready to flash my phone when I get home and love your home page and customizations, especially the gps on the home page, and want to make sure I do this right, thanks!

THX but I think the Today screen is very basic as this was by first build and no where near where I want to be. Those options that I lised above were the things I chose in BuildOS to include in the ROM I was cooking.

Ill do a video later today but usually very fasy. I was getting 5 locks in my bedroom last night and could use Google maps and get accuracy. I have iGuidance but havent gotten it to work yet.

Re: VERIZON GPS Thread
 

After three months of trial and error, walking around the yard at midnight, etc I think the following is true about Verizon GPS
(1) Without an AGPS Server the onboard GPS must have a good view of the sky to get a lock. Folks who live in an open are get fast locks with mant sats, folks in crowed urban areas with restricted views suffer.

I just left my 6900 on the table next to me for 5 minutes: nothing. Placed it in in the kitchen window with a view of the southern sky and got locked on 3 sats inside 60 seconds.

Driving down the highway I get locks with 5-7 sats in 15 - 45 seconds almost all of the time. Same highway during a thunderstorm, 3 - 5 minutes, 2-3 sats.

(2) I have had my SUPL AssistedGPS = 0, and GPSMode = 1 for a week and see the same results consistantly. The Bell 3.42.50 radio helped my phone but GPS remained the same.

(3) If there were a way to use the Sprint AGPS server, or Verizon provides one, we would see the same fast locks inside or out.

PM returned.

Re: VERIZON GPS Thread
 

yeah it all depends on the phone you have, some people get great results, others are never able to connect to a sat

Well I am the type person that believes it is end-user issues or configuration issues on the software side.
