Correct me if I am wrong but I though this was only needed for 6850's?????

Sprint already has GPS and aGPS on VZW. Thats what GC is running anyways.

This is on a fresh unaltered VZW PRI instalation after hard reset of my ROM.

Used 11 fixed 9. Normal for me is used 9 fixed 8. About normal. It did lock in 4 seconds though. I dont think its aGPS but its quicker.

Also have you confirmed the differnt protocals on the Radio? Could ours be differnt than a sprint device?
Used a differnt method this time and got differnt results:
Flashed and ran PPST during autorun.... Applied cab, ran PPST again manually and THEN *22899 and it took just about two whol minutes to activate but has the VZW banner now.

Ya but they are running a sprint pri that has a prl modded to trick the pri. I'm hoping they can just use this PRI I wrote. That way all their radio settings will be as per verizon minus the GPS ofcourse. I can't think of why my pri wouldn't work on that device.

Are you on a OEM ROM or a custom? Isn't 2.03 the PRI that locked VZW GPS down on the Titan's?

Your PRI works. I've got it running with NexVision's rom on my Sprint TP on Verizon right now and the GPS works perfectly. The problem is that the roaming triangle still persists no matter what PRI I've tried. To get rid of the roaming triangle I still have to use the modded PRL.

Don' you have to have the 1.37 PRI on the 6900 to get the GPS working? The 2.03 locked it down, didn't it?

So you did a programming update after you installed Phase II of my fix?

Yes, that is correct. Was using a modified PRL with Nex's rom, stock Sprint PRI, then applied stock VZW PRI a week or 2 ago trying to get my GPS to work and still needed a modded PRL to get rid of the triangle, then this afternoon I applied the modified Phase II fix PRI, rebooted, and then dialed *228 option 1. PRL downloaded successfully, automatically rebooted, and roaming triangle was present until I re-loaded the modded PRL

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0

This is great. My experience with a stock Verizon phone on the base ROM is the following. I am using Google Maps to test. I HAVE to use the HTC GPS tool to initialize and find the satellites (which after the first time, it does subsequently very fast.) I then can open up Google Maps and it will connect and find satellites. This works only when using Manual Connection settings. Automatic settings never work.
I have to use HTC GPS each time I have left the phone alone for any amount of time. Google will not find the satellites on its' own. Actually, Google will fail to initialize the GPS on its' own.

Is this mirroring the experience of other users? Do we have any thoughts on how to avoid this initialization procedure, of others are experiencing?

ROM: 1.03.605.4
Radio: 1.-3.03V
PRI: 51064
