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

Have you tried just closing and restarting your data connection?

I have tried closing and restarting data
i even tried airplane mode/radio off, and back on.

the only way it works is power off then on, or sometimes soft reset.

8hours 20miles it will lock in 10 to 20 min's outside clear sky.

5 to 15 sec's cold start, right after boot, even indoors.

tried the GPS hotfix from the titon,but it didnt help.

Hi Shadow-Tech,
I have tried your instructions to a "T", and it still takes about 5 minutes or so to get a lock. And even when I do, it's only 2 or 3 sats.
Will using Alltels settings make the connection faster and locks more plentiful?
Will I have to make changes to the registry as well?
Also, with the new Cricket PDE server mentioned a couple of posts back, should I change anything else in QPST, like PDE Transport or Position Calculation? Thanks!!

Are you talking about using Alltel setting with cricket if so it won't work. Take a look at any of my Tutorials (links in my signature) for the correct GPS setting for cricKet and how to make those setting.

This is an exelent tweak thank you very much, I have a HTC Touch Vouge and my gps is working great, lock on in about 6 - 10 sec in google, bing and gps atlas, with 5-11 satellites.

hi
thanks for this.
was a little overwhelmed at first but it went very smoothly.

my only problem was that qpst did not write the telus settings to the registry
and i had to do it manually. this was after qpst said that the settings had be successfully written.

before it would take 10 mins to lock on a max of 3 sats,now less than a min to get 5 or more.

thanks for this

Hi everybody! I've just purchased a new Sprint HTC Hero with bad ESN and would like to flash it to metro pcs. I've read some threads about it but I haven't found my phone model there so that's why I decided to write here.
I called metro customer service and they said that they can flash it for $10 but I will not get internet, gps, mms or other services supported by the phone, only calls and text. So is it worth bringing them phone and let them flash it instead of doing it myself? If I let them do it then will I be able to make internet, gps and other stuff working myself? Or is it better to do everything myself? And if the last option is what you suggest I'd really appreciate if somebody give me a link for the flashing instructions.
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!
p.s. Is it possible to save my existing metro pcs phone number?

I tried this again (never could get it to work before), and with the Alltel server on my Verizon phone, it works awsome. I open tomtom, it says no device for a few seconds, then it finds it and says poor gps signal for 5 seconds then fully connected.

Everything I try, after about 5-7 seconds I get connected and works perfect (so perfect I am afraid to reflash a new build on my phone) and more sats than I could fine before..

Before this. about 5 to 10 min before it would find my location and other times it would never find it.

Edit: Anyone on Verizon use this...5 second locks for me on a titan... Working as of 2/26/2010
