My GPS is working but my lock times are absolutely horrible even when i'm outside on a clear day. I've been doing searches to try and find more info but i'm coming up empty. Any suggestions?

Verizon stock rom on Verizon hardware.

So I've done the steps easily on two VZW Touch Pro's. Then mine had the oil under the screen issue so I had to get a replacement. It is a refurb :(

Activated the phone, Unlocked, Radio flashed to Telus, Flashed to Mighty's 6.5, (didn't think I needed this fix with his flash) but google maps wasn't working.

Went through these steps again. Installed the cab. Did the ppst(device reset itself) Did the 228, option 1 (device reset itself again). Ran the tool. Set the chip/mode/com. Opened the port. Got a lot of scrolling text, but no satalites.

Ran google maps, left it set to windows controlled (how it was on my old phone using mighty 4.16. Just says 0 satellites, switched to com4, comes up with seeking satellites (Some large number here). And still doesn't zero in.

Not sure what the deal is, I had no problems getting this working before and now on the refurb it won't do jack.

Didn't touch the PRL portion of the readme yet, but I didn't have to in the past.

For some reason I never had the ppst.exe executable inside the windows directory of my phone. I installed Scott's rom, (which kicks a$$) and I am wondering if I can apply bored's fix, and use the Launchppst.exe that was included with Scott's ROM folder, since I don't have the ppst.exe file. Are these two executables the same?
Please advise....once I get the GPS unlocked, I am all set! My device will run like it is meant to.
Thanks!

I installed your CAB, but when I try to run Launchppst.exe, nothing happens. Does anyone have a copy of ppst.exe they could upload to here by chance?
any suggestions?

Maverick just figured this out for me. Location needed to be turned on, then Re- *228, Option 1.

Yes i've followed all the instructions posted in this thread to the letter.

I've ensured all the settings are correct. It may be i just expect this thing to work faster than it can.

Everytime I try the fix here it keeps telling me "Write NvItem failed. PPST will now reset the device." What exactly is going wrong here?
