6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

[lllboredlll]

It's requires a program to call for it to function. Whether it be thru a driver or a dll, something has to tell WM to connect to the IP and retrieve the information. The radio enables AGPS thru the fix GC developed but WM has to interface from that point on.

thanks for the information, that explains what could be happening. Does the program to call it exist or is that driver dependent (and do we know the driver) or unknown at this point?

lol if I knew at this point I would of let yall know. I might be able to look into it tomorrow night. Tonight I made a quick reg key import from my Titan but that didn't work. Once again VZW has something screwy going on.

Well GC's aGPS fix simply imports the SUPL AGPS registry values. However, if no application/driver is looking for those values and thus not acting on them, it won't really do anything.

Here is GC's aGPS fix's _setup.xml (there are no files, only registry values):
<!-- GC Verizon aGPS Provisioning -->

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS">
<parm name="EnableAGPS" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
<parm name="EnableGPSSmartMode" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
<parm name="EnablePDEIPFromNV" datatype="integer" value="0"/>
<parm name="NumberFixes" datatype="integer" value="999999999"/>
<parm name="QoSAccuracy" datatype="integer" value="50"/>
<parm name="QosPerformance" datatype="integer" value="89"/>
<parm name="TimeBetweenFixes" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
<parm name="ServerIP" datatype="string" value="66.174.95.132"/>
<parm name="ServerPort" datatype="integer" value="8888"/>
<parm name="GPSMode" datatype="integer" value="2"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

<!-- End GC Verizon aGPS Provisioning -->

So here's some really good situations to consider:
Are Sprint TPs flashed to VZW ROMs able to use aGPS? If yes, that means that drivers included with the VZW ROM are aGPS capable. If not, then the ROM is missing something.
Are VZW TPs flashed with the Sprint Radio ROM and Bored's GPS fix (modded Sprint PRI) able to use aGPS. If yes, that means that the VZW radio is incapable of aGPS while the Sprint Radio is.

does this work at all with the motorola Q9m phone? I followed your instructions, and had to open port9 for anything to work properly, clicking on NMEA allowed full access. So, back to my initial question, iff I download the .cab for VZW nazigator would It potentially work?

EVDO was working in Nor Cal. Any ideas? I could really use help since ICS is unusable ATM. Thanks.

I wasn't able to fix this so I had to undo the gps fix which got the evdo back. I hope I don't have to choose between gps and evdo. Has anyone had similar issues or gotten this to work in San Diego without losing evdo? Any ideas why this would mess up the data connection or how to resolve it?

FWIW, I installed the banner CAB, but I've noticed that when my phone first boots up, it still says Sprint. It reverts to saying Verizon very quickly, but I thought it was kind of interesting...

The PRI that is installed is telling it to say Sprint. The fix you did overrides that.

Every time your radio changes state that will happen.
