Setting TP2 GPS for assisted or non-assisted mode?

[wildpig]

Just wondering if anyone can help me out with this real quick. I like to know if there is a registry entry that I can do to put the GPS in TP2 into sat mode only with no asssistance whatsoever. This is useful if I am traveling outside US and don't wish to use or do not have data connection. It's also good to test the intrinsic sensitivity of the built in GPS.

I've already checked the how to: configure GPS for TP2 which really has more to do with getting TP2 GPS to work better.

I also checked another post regarding

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS. On my TP2 the key EnableAGPS here already has value of 0. Yet when I run igo 8 or beelinegps, it would initiate a data connection to get assistance. I could turn the phone mode off (enable airplane mode) so it can't initiate a data connection, but would rather not have to do this everytime I use the GPS.

I figure there must be some simple registry entry to edit. Seems like back in the Mogul day, you can force the GPS into any of the 4 modes at will.

Thnx for any suggestion.

just don't use quickgps. thats what it does is download the sat data over the internet using cell towers for coordinates. no quickgps = no gps assist

QuickGPS only downloads every 7 days tho doesnt it? It shouldnt download sat info everytime the GPS polls

wrong. quickgps downloads ephemeris data to assist the built in chip lock onto satellites and has nothing to do with AGPS. trying to achieve a standalone lock without quickgps would be brutal.

all the tp1 gps settings apply to standalone gps.

thnx for all response. However, all above responses are about quickgps,which I am not even using,as Tp2 GPS w/ assistance fron tower signal is more than enuf.

I am Still waiting for a response regarding my question of how to place gps on TP2 into a completely unassisted mode (which means that it would not try to use cell tower signal either) . Is there some sort of registry entry to change?

[wildpig]

Anyone?? Much appreciate any answer. Need to know how to disable the assisted mode so I don't get wacked with data charge outside U.S. everytime I use iGo8. Thanks for any help

[wildpig]

So I take that there's not a way to disable the assisted gps mode on Tp2 or at least nothing simple like changing a registry key?

there is a way and it does not require a registry edit... I don't have my phone in front of me, but my recollection is that if you scroll across the bottom bar to settings, there is some place in there to make adjustments to GPS settings, and one of those choices is a check box for using aGPS... just uncheck it... it's definitely there and I'd be more specific with a phone in front of me...
