6/8/09 FIRMWARE UPDATE: Verizon GPS Unlocked

[AFAngryWarrior]

I have 6 satellites used, and 0 satellites fixed.... What does this mean? I can't get a lock in LiveSearch either. I have Chip Q7500, Baud 4800, Cold Start... Then I click "Open Port" wait til it has satellites used and then open Live search... Why is it finding 6 satellites but I cant get a fix?

OK, cool, so we know there is an issue w/using this in conjunction with NexVision's ROM. Bored, any idea is to why there seems to be a problem with that combination?

Bored... You are the man. Wonderful job with the GPS.

using stock vzw rom
followed the instructions
now showing "sprint" on taskbar(?)
can't open port when using HTC GPS Tool, hence no satellite lock
is there something i missed or should do?

also, what is the reason for PPST1.46.cab? is it run when running ppst.exe? i put it on my storage card but did nothing with it.

Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to say I know my ROM works for a fact. I have now completed testing with Live Search, Google Maps, Tom Tom7. It works great! Looks like everyone else is seeing this too....

MAD PROPS TO BORED ONCE AGAIN! I highlighted his accomplishments on my website, like I discussed with him in PM, to get this as much exsposure as quickly as possible! www.scottcrosler.com

At first I was afraid it was your rom, must have been a regedit I did because all I did was a hard reset, OTA, installed the fix before anything else and now its working perfect. So its not your ROM, and to everyone else if all else fails hard reset and install the GPS fix 1st..

WOOOOOOOT!!! It works! Although I still can't get Remote Tracker to use the GPS (but that's for another thread).

Regarding the "Sprint" text showing on the home screen, I remember seeing an app that lets you customize what it says in that section, but I can't remember what it is. I'm sure it can be found in this "Post your today screen" thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41350

Many people towards page 30+ have customized their top texts.

This is some great work.

Which file is the OEM PRI?

So basically, if I want, I should easily be able to go back to the original way?

Also, worst case, should a hard reset fix anything this screws up?
