Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

I had the cab file installed for the quick lock, so I uninstalled it. I made sure the settings for Metro were programmed in QPST and in the registry. Soft booted both times. Went outside and pulled up GPSViewer and got a lock within a couple min! Everything is working great now except for my hotmail. It won't sync, but thats for another day!

Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

Followed the instructions and am still having problems. When I pull up GPS viewer I am able to see that there are some satellites but they "flash" on and off. One second they are on the globe and the next they are gone. I have even let my phone sit for a good 10 minutes and still no lock. I am going to run through the process one more time and hopefully get it to work.

I am using an Alltel Vogue on Metro and data is enabled. Running NFSAN(?) 6.1 w/ 3.37 radio.

Edit:

Tried again and still a no go. It still does the flashing of satellites.

Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

for cricket use pde not mobile.
use the ip that wap.mycricket.com resolves to.
the ip should respond to ping.
im using vxutil for network diagnostics.

How did you come up with those setting?
These are my setting and I get locks in my basement in less than 60 seconds. Out doors within 15 seconds.
pde ip address 172.29.223.11
pde port # 8080
pde transport IP
Position calculation mobile
Write to phone
close out
Do the following GPS Registry edits after installing desired ROM:
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS"
"GPSMode" value="2" datatype="integer"
"ServerPort" value="8080" datatype="integer"
"ServerIP" value="172.29.223.11" datatype="string

Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

ive been playin with it and mobile does work better than pde for accuracy.
further i no longer oven have the ip or port in the reg.
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS"
"GPSMode" value="4" datatype="integer"
"EnablePDEIPFromNV" value="1" <--new Dword taken from stock sprint rom
I deleted the Dword's
"ServerPort"
and
"ServerIP"
I also had to change in qpst the value pre-707 to IS-707 or it would not lock after long idle

my server ip is 10.133.26.12
but yours might be different
I got the ip by running a trace route from my phone of the url wap.mycricket.com
note that i did receive two ip addresses for the url, completely randomly when running multiple traces

Last edited by thesteve42; 12-15-2009 at 12:34 AM. Reason: i incorrectly used the term "key" when i meant Dword value

Nice find I will give that a try when I'm done playing with Android.

Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

the server seems to work.
I get my first lock after reset in under 30 seconds.
i still cant get a lock 8 hours and 20 miles later without a soft reset.



i noted that my gps only accesses the data connection one time after reset.
I need a way to re-assist start after sleep

Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

Wow works great on my HTC Mogul on Cricket.
I get locks now in 3 to 9 seconds with 5 to 9 sats inside my 2 story house on the first floor. Outside works even better. Before it could take 5 to 8 mins to lock if it locked at all. Thank you.
