Yeah, thats the HTC program. Each app has its own critera for what it considers a lock. This is my therory, I certainly could be wrong.


Do you remember the NON VGA version of HTC GPS Tool. That damn thing would tell me I am not locked but using like 8 sats.... all while TOm Tom, Live and Google were connected. Sometimes but not often it could be the other way around.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I think each app is differnt but you really only need three sats for a lock. So if you are hittiong three or more and never get a lock I would always soft reset and modify location....

Of course when you finsih up with aGPS we wont have to worry either way ;c)

Update at the bottom of post 1 for those who don't get enough signal to program after initial fix install

I remember reading earlier in this thread, I think gc14 said it, about getting Verizon to activate/unlock VZ Navigator on your phone for a 30 day trial, and that will unlock the aGPS? And you can cancel and aGPS will still work? I don't remember correctly, but can this be elaborated on a bit?

i think scrosler was commenting on that and it was to get the gps working initially after the fix install.... some users seem to connectivity issues... it's random though

Installed the fix from phase one and it did not work. However, the second phase did work - got 6 satellites in Google Maps. Now, today after I tried to get rid of the banner as mentioned in the first phase I did not get responses from the GPS in Google Maps. I tried the phase two again and it does not work. Is it because it can not uninstall the CAB from the second phase?

I installed Garmin Mobile XT today and havent had to use the htc gps tool once..I let my phone site for about 5 hours today and then tried to use tomtom7,live search,and google maps. All three of those programd couldnt get a lock or a fix..I fired up Garmin and in about 45 seconds i had a lock...

Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0
 

So, when you said that I would be able to fix in another location... not so much.

I can use 6 plus satellites out in a big open area with full reception but none of them ever fix. Anyone know what's up?
