Except when I'm trying to use Google Maps!

I think I got a steady setting now. I went ahead and changed the setting to Telus and they seem to be holding much better. It hasen't dropped in the suspected 6-8 hours like verizon or other agps servers I have found.

I am running mr1 with valhalla update, no reg changes, and I used the free 30 day one time trial of vznav to get agps working again. I get locks just like I used to, and all I have to do is prime the system with vznav, and any app that used to work is golden. I don't want to use telus' setting as they probably won't let you guys use them forever, and some are reporting issues with speed. I want to find out why I have access to the vzw agps servers, and you guys don't. I have 25 days left until I have to do something, so I am trying to figure out how my phone is different so when vznav is gone I can still have agps. I have tried telus, and standalone gps (without agps), and I am most satisfied with vzw's agps service on their servers... On a side note, I am trying to use QPST to see data about my phone. look for changes from vznav, but when i load info from phone, the whole side of the gpsone tab is clear. Is that normal, or is there supposed to be an ip address?

Ok I did not do any changes, I installed the new 6.5 and all of the sudden...I am getting VERY fast PGS locks and being that they are in the middle of my house...aGPS is working?!?!?!?!?! Oh if this is true ill be very happy. Anyone else?

Ok, so I am confused.

I can confirm that aGPS is working on Telus, Alltel, and (most importantly) Verizon server IPs.

I can't tell why, and for how long but I am getting 6-7 sats with under 10 second locks on all three server settings inside. I never got a lock inside using unassisted GPS so I can only assume it is working. I will wait a few hours before saying that this is permanent fix so I can get some locks from a cold start. Of course, I made these changes to both QPST and registry.

Could some other people check this out?

Here are the settings:

Telus:
PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92
PDE Port Number = 8889
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation = PDE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP=216.198.139.92
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort=8889

Alltel:
PDE IP Address = 205.142.19.100
PDE Port Number = 8888
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation = PDE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP=205.142.19.100
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort=8888

Verizon:
PDE IP Address: 66.174.95.132
PDE Port number: 8888
PDE Transport: IP
Position Calculation: PDE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP=66.174.95.132
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort=8888



P.S. I also posted this same info at XDA

Here are the settings: ....

Well I didn't try them all but I can confirm that the Verizon settings work fairly well.....

Just Kidding!! I haven't used GPS in about 8 hours and I pulled the battery out for good measure. So it was pretty much a cold start. 1..2..3..4..5..6 seconds... LOCK!!

Thanks for keeping an eye out. The bastards can't keep a good geek down aye!

[joshkeller77]

yes, that is what I am saying. I put the original settings from GC's tutorial and it works (along with Telus and Alltel). Please verify.

That's a big 10-4!!

I've also got a theory that the reason the Verizon aGPS is better than the Telus (for Verizon users) is that all the goodies that the QPST/GPSOne enables are not available through Telus.

ya' know the. Assistance-spherical, Assistance-cartesian, GPS-Almanac, GPS-Almanac correction, etc. Just a hunch but something has to explain why there is a difference. I spent months with Verizon aGPS, a week with plain ol' GPS, and a week with Telus aGPS and there is definitely a performance difference. Sort of a Good - Better -Best situation.

Just change these values manually in registry editor and you should be golden:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=2 (the original value)
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress=5C8BC6D8 (HEX)
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort=8889

Doesn't hurt to change these to match (but I don't think they are necessary):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]
"GPSMode"=4
"EnableAGPS"=1
"EnableGPSSmartMode"=1

New guy here and im having trouble getting my gps to work again, everything was working great until i had to hard reset and now i get nothing, I tried to enter the Valhalla reg edits and still nothing, i'm using memaid to edit the reg and everything is entered exactly, except the 5c8bc6d8, i have to enter 1552664280 (hex), could this be my problem? i noticed that if i run vznav that everything works fine after i close it.
mobile 6.1 build 19212.1.0.3, with valhalla gpsServer patchs,baf gps,htc tools,quick gps installed, Any ideas i what i could try because i really dont like VZnav
