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

Actually I don't think the aGPS works on my Verizoned Sprint Touch Pro. I've never been able to get a GPS lock while indoors & it takes me forever to get a GPS lock. When I was on Sprint, all of this happened fairly quickly.

aGPS works on the Verizonized Sprint TP. I got it working on mine today and I have locks within seconds of 8-10 sats. My GPS does not need to be primed and data does become active before the GPS locks.

Do these in the following order:

Leaked VZW ROM, NexVision's ROM, GC Verizon aGPS.cab, bored's modified PRI, Titan QPST gpsOne fix, and GC Verizon TP Carrier 20081223.cab.

Just so I'm not misunderstanding anything, can the Verizon TP (XV6850) have the aGPS hack with this v2 GPS fix? Also, is there a different aGPS hack for the Verizon TP as opposed to other phones (Sprint TP, 6800)?

Thanks!

No, the aGPS hack doesnt work with the v2 fix..bored is working on the aGPS fix for the Verizon TP, which should be in the V3 fix..

Thanks, I thought I read correctly. I just noticed in the Sprint > Verizon TP thread they are suggesting to use the aGPS. Kinda confused me.


waiting oh so patiently.....

Hey Bored, Any news on the TELUS PRI??? Thanks!

[VetteRacer]

I did whats listed in Post #1, step 6+ and I no longer have any signals. I tried starting at step 1 and still nothing. Cant do anything with phone, anyone have ANY clues?
Tried doing the stock radio back to phone and made no difference...
I have a custom ROM from kitchen that I made... Will redoing that help?
Luckily I still have my original TP, above was on a replacement, so had to activate that one again...
Help?
Thanks
Matt

I really wish I could substitute Scott's ROM, but I'll do as you say

So followed directions to a T and no go for me. On Verizon and apparently I can't get the GPS to work. I'm using the PPCKitchen and a custom ROM at the moment. I'm considering burning the original VZW image back on the device and relocking before trying again. (Although I'll miss my nice Apps in the custom ROM) I did have the aGPS enabled via the instructions on XDA-Devlopers at one point. Backed those out by loading up the settings I saved from the original and rewriting it to the device. No joy then either.

Anyone else having problems??

<< UPDATE >> 12/28/08
Ok, I forgot I had hard reset the device and didn't skip steps 2 - 5. Although according to what you mentioned that shouldn't have kept it from working. I did revert to a locked OEM ROM and after following the steps CORRECTLY and skipping 2 - 5 it appears to be working. However, the HTC GPS tool takes a minute or 2 and then I show 4+ satellites but don't get a lock for some 10 minutes or so. I've used the aGPS fix on XDA-Devlopers on my 6800 in the past and was wondering if that is worth tyring without botching up what your install does for me???

I'm checking into that because everything was fine with his ROM. He's tested extensively with my PRI's.

Some rom's have a registry issue with this update. I'm not sure the exact key. I will post it if I come across it.
