I'm not sure how to test the speed of my connection on my phone though, and im not even sure if Bell supports revA.

Well, since GPS uses triangulation to increase accuracy and there is only one satellite (thus no way to triangulate) I'd say it's doing pretty good!

Is for GPS Test. My post before on the previous page, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=408
Has everything else you might want. Although I can't personally get that QuickGPS to work.

They mentioned to set things to COM4 for whatever reason on live.. I don't know if theres any settings in the OS that need to be set. I can't figure it out.. never messed with GPS. I'm about to give up.

Chartcross works really well too.

JD, your ROM works right off the bat with data. Trying GPS now.

I'm getting 1000kb/s with just regular EVDO on verizon..

Two ways to test rev a, make a phone call and then open up internet explorer and browse the web. Rev a makes it possible now for you to do so, so if it works you should get websites open while on the phone.

rev a does not give you simultaneous voice and data

Anyone tried the new rom on the xv6900? If I try it will I be able to flash back to the stock rom or will my phone more than likely be bricked?

If anyone is having issues with quickgps downloading, download that, put it somewhere (both files) and then run the quickgps.exe file. After that downloading should be a lot easier. Make sure you download the HTC QuickGPS cab first though.
