VZW GPS Unlock Issue

[someotherguy]

Performed the steps on 2 phones worked great, had to send mine back, performed them on the refurb they sent me, can't get a lock at all. Only difference is I'm using mighty's 6.5 flash instead of the 4.16. Is there an issue with Mobile 6.5 and the gps tool / google maps.

I don't pay for Verizon Navigator so I can't test the gps with that. When I open port with HTC GPS Tool I get

$GPGLL,,,,,,A*11
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,50.00,50.00,50.00*35
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79

It does that constantly.

Starting a test or not I can't get any satellite used or satellite fixed. Google maps can't lock either.

Any ideas? What should GPS tool be saying in the scrolling text.

This is really frustrating 1, b/c they sent me a refurb and not a new one, and 2 because I have no way to test the GPS since I don't pay for their navigator, so I have no way of convincing them it's broken. (If that is the case)

I have Google Maps and Garmin working flawlessly on WM6.5. Did you remember to turn the Location on?

Where is that setting at in 6.5?

'Location Setting' should be sit to LOCATION ON.

Awesome! Turned the location on, Soft Reset, was getting the Tool find a few satellites. Google map was still screwed.

So I did the *228, option 1 again. It rebooted, started google maps and all is well!

Ok, before I actually meant QuickGPS, not HTC GPS Tool. QuickGPS downloads the satellite data and locks are almost instant.

[someotherguy]

Yeah, before the location was turned on QuickGPS never would open. After words I opened it, downloaded and the lock was super fast.

Ok I did all this and flashed and reflashed and flashed back to a stock rom but I can't get my location to stay on when I soft reset nor can i get any satellites.
