[scrosler]

IM running it on my VZ Nav Edition ROM on my site and am locking in under 15 seconds in Google Maps, Live Search, and wait get this.... the moment I have been waititing a life time for.... TOM TOM 7!!!!!

SWEET!!! I finally got it to work! After turning on my location in the phone settings I decided to retry running the .cab fix and rerunning the PPST file. I went back into GPS Tool, set the settings and opened the port then voila!!! Found 6 satellites! Then I ran Google maps and IT FOUND EM! YEA! Thank you so much to all involved with my enabling GPS on my phone! It makes my $300 just that much more worth it. Some donations are definately deserved!

It's all good. It's working. I never did get any prompts of any sort form running PPST but it is working.

Why does my phone say sprint in the top right of the upper curtain?

Does this work on a locked phone? I haven't unlocked mine yet because I'm still trying to get a hang of all this and I don't want to screw something up.

[bnjcook]

My phone is not unlocked. It took me a bit but now it works famously!

[bnjcook]

I think this fix is so great it needs to be on a permanent sticky. Anyone else have the same thought?

SO my question is this.

Since this is a hardware thing, after following these steps if i flash to a different rom i do not have to do it again correct?

I've applied the patch to my VZW Touchpro, running the nexvision 'beta1' ROM, but have not been able to get a fix. The output in the test app window has a bit of data, but it never reports a fix.

With the 'post gc info' cab my phone is on verizon but says Sprint.

I guess I wonder what is on your GPSone page, or any other feedback to help me acheive the same success as others.

Thanks

Interesting - I'm running the Nexvision ROM, and unfortunately I can't get it to work either. Following all installation steps, setting up so location always on, in external gps prog port com4, hw port none, 4800, mng gps auto. Any ideas for me? Thx!

Am I the only one that clicks on the phone setting and doesn't have the locations setting?
