VZW aGPS issues anyone?

Does this mean that the GPS has somehow been deactivated? Too much coincidence for this to be just the posters phones all going down at the same time. This is either the GPS signal being changed, which I highly doubt or Verizon having distirubuted some firmware update that zanked everyones GPS.

Or that they have a new firewall that is able to differentiate between the legitamate VZnav requests to the IP server from other non-signed sources such as us. This would explain why Dare and other phones are working fine while we are down.

Could be true or not, but who is to say other than the techhies who work on the server, or some head honcho at VZW.

LOL, Does anyone have a XV6800 with legitamate MR1/MR2 running VZnav with no cracks or hacks? I forget if that is even possible, haha.

Same problem here (West Michigan). The registry edit fixed it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=494551&page=4)

just talked to a friend of mine who has a blackberry that has vznavigator and that is not working either. My guess is Verizon is having problems, possible related to the recent merger with Alltel.

Tried this and it did not work for my MR1 xv6800 with Vahalla. Google Maps still reports problems with the GPS signal. I am NOT getting the error that there is "No GPS" conneted.

For those still having problems, try using Telus aGPS settings. Not sure if this is the solution but it seems like aGPS is working for me now, will tell you in 5 or 6 hours so I can get a true cold start.

You will need to make these changes in QPST and the registry.

No help here. Only see 1 satellite outdoors after 5 minutes. Back to GPSMode 1.
