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!

Give me a few and I will update post I with a banner fix.
PPST1.46.cab is VZW's original PRI incase you need to roll it back for any reason.

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?

OEM is PPST1.46.cab .... you would install it like you did the gps fix cab then your device would be back to stock

You just made my christmas Haven't been able to install it just yet but am going to do so in a few minutes on my stock ROM. Glad I went with the VZW Touch Pro in the end

so the problem i am currently having is that after i open the ports and such i cant get a lock in google maps, it just sits at "initializing gps", i do get gps in the htc program however.

Any ideas?

Are you setting it up properly

Q 7500 chip
Cold Start
4800 Baud

Also get near a window or outside. At times that makes a huge difference even though I get locks inside of my 2 story house.

all i did was reinstall the cab and rerun the ppst.exe after i had turned location on and now it works, strange

I have a few questions, I hope they're not much of a nussiance to answer:

1) Must I use HTC GPS Tool everytime I want to use GPS to open to port or is it a set and forget type of deal?
2) With Location On rather than 911 only will that lower the battery life/increase consumption?
3) Since I'm new to GPS on a Pocket PC or even a phone for that matter, is GPS only enabled when asked to be with this hack? (as to preserve battery life).

EDIT: Finding satellites with HTC GPS Tool but not fixing, guess I'm in a bad location right? I'll just try another day, using Stock ROM - able to find satellites but get not fix in my house or immediately outside of it. Too late for me to go outside in the freezing temp and snow

EDIT 2: Was able to fix on some sattelites after being patient although Google Maps is stuck on Initalizing GPS and says the no GPS receiver was found after about 60 seconds of waiting (tried re-installing and still not coming up with any success. I can lock in with HTC GPS Tool but when I try to run google maps after a fix is made it won't initialize the GPS)
