Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

[BillThyCat]

Someone mentioned in the first few posts that this works on all carriers except Sprint. I am assuming the IP address that does the aGPS belongs to Altel, isn't that going to be carrier specific? i.e. I am on US Cellular, how would Altel's server know where my towers are in order to get a position for it to use to seed the GPS?

Don't get me wrong, I plan to try this, because I'm sick of 5-10 minute locks personally. I flashed my friends phone (also on USCC), we walk outside, I click on GPSToday, and within 3-5 seconds it had 4 satellites and within 10 seconds had his position. I tried mine today, every stop light I came to I tried to refresh, and even let it keep trying as I was driving, and after 15 minutes, nada....

I'm just thinking some phones are better than others. But hell, if this even slightly improves my sync time, I will be happy as possible.

After a hard reset will these settings still stand, I flash daily and so I dont wnat to make these and then have to do it again 5 hours later.

Does anyone know if a hard reset will keep these settings.

Hello Shadow-tech.
Really appreciate all your work on this. Seems i'm the only one who can't get it to work and I would really love to. Would you have a moment to quickly peek at my setting if I run thru it here? Must be missing one small thing.
Always says "105KB. Seeking GPS satellite (0)..." blinking

HTC 6800 Alltel
Rom 3.35.671.9
Radio 3.37.20
GPS program port : COM4
GPS hardware port : none
Baud rate: 4800
Phone - Location Settings 911 : ON

Google Maps and GPS viewer are loaded.

Ran these GPS files:
1_SP_AllowCe...
2_SdkCerts
3_SecurityOff
4_HTC_GPS_E...
(all loaded fine)
softboot

Followed your QPST directions and all worked well.
##3424 dialing worked fine.
Mine showed up on COM5.
Applied the fix and put in Alltel numbers. 205.142.19.100, 8888, IP, mobile.
Did the softboot.
After completely following all instructions it didn't work first time so I went back into QPST and made sure changes were made and were on the phone...all these setting were in the phone when i checked.
I then ran your "Shadow-Tech_AGPS_REG_Alltel.cab" on the phone and it said it installed fine. Did a soft boot.
Went in with Taskmgr.exe into the reg just to make sure the .cab file worked and it showed GPS mode as 2, and IP as 205.142.19.100, etc.

Tried Googlemaps and just got the "105KB. Seeking GPS satellite (0)..." again. Looked in GPS viewer and "Setup" tab is going nuts with the $GPGSV,1,1,0 numbers flashing but in "GPS Status" tab i got no satellites.
Buga.
It will find my location once in a while but this was happening before I applied the fix. Usually bombs out with the "No GPS satellites could be found message"
Sorry for the length but i just wanted to let you know that I was pretty thorough in trying to follow your instructions.

Thanks so much.

Wow! I got it to recognize finally! I had to use a school computer at my college to install. Neither one of my xp machines at home would register the drivers you provided. After I did your update I was actually able to use Live search and Google maps. I couldnt get a GPS lock with them before, this is awesome! Tanks man.

finally got it working, after the clean reflash, doing the location thing, gpts, and reg fix, and after leaving gps veiwer on for an hour straight until it crashed, i looked at the crashed screen, it had to sat locks frozen on the screen, after a reboot, it works


finally


thank you guys
