No....There was a thread when I had the 6900 and you had to go back to the Bell Shipped ROM but not let the customizations run. Then you had to go to the Sprint ROM and not let the customizations run. Then you had to use the Ripped ROM for VZW. That got you back to the original ROM that came on the 6900. That is the 1.37 PRI.

Wjhat are you confused about? That is for the 6800 not 6850. Though I have a stong huynch it will be the same. aGPS is beleived to be locked down by the PRI. Atleast thats my thoughts.

Ok, after moving to a different location I got a better experience. Google and Live Search both come up without HTC GPS(but still have to set Google to manual settings).

Thanks again.

dimitri,

I have been searching, but haven't seen thread with your name regarding to the issue.

In case anyone is wondering, v2 fix works on a stock VZW ROM on Garmin Mobile XT....GoogleMaps has a hard time fixing. Not sure about TomTom or any others. Someone asked earlier if it worked on a stock ROM, FYI, it does.

Yeah I know. For some reason there are only two pages on the Vogue Upgrade Forum. Actually, I just remembered that the thread it over at XDA. I am looking for it now.

Your right Scrosler but could the PRI from the Vogue help us at all? I seem to remember that the aGPS worked with that PRI?

I always thought that PRI's were radio specific but I really dont know that much about them. Now give me a kitchen and I will show you a few things ;c)
