It'll say "starting customizations in 3..." and count down...so you have 3 seconds that you can soft reset lol.

Any performance data on the GPS compared to a BT Puck and battery life?

I didn't try it in the Alltel ROM, but when I loaded JD's 6.1 ROM, I went into Phone Settings > Services > Internet and clicked start to start a client IOTA.

I used it on my way to work this morning with iGuidance and it definitely wasn't as smooth as it was with the BT GPS. I found a FAQ though that gives a workaround for iGuidance issues...so I'll try that later.

I haven't tried it with any other app, and I didn't use it long enough to test the battery drain.

Follow the directions in the first post. It works!

Well I have given up trying to get GPS working, I've tried on both roms (JD's temp rom) and the Alltel.

I have hard-reset at least 15 times.

Install the Unlocking Software (in the order 1,2,3)
Shutdown / Soft Reset
Install the HTC_GPS_Enable_for_Titan_3.35.cab
Shutdown / Soft Reset

Then I tried each of these (each with a fresh Hard-Reset too, after performing the above stuff). Each were left outside in clear sky for 30 minutes.

Installed VisualGPSce and tried running it, no luck. It just freezes.
Tried HTC QuickGPS which now updates. (but I don't think it does any more than this)
Tried the Holux GPS Viewer, says it's started, Does not show any sat's.
Tried Google Maps, Stuck at Initializing GPS

The Phone Location is On, the External GPS Settings are correct (Com4, None, 4800, Use).

I see... you dont need the alltel rom then...

Ok, the IOTA doesnt exist in the alltell rom...

lets go back to my older rom...

I was able to get the GPS cab form XDA but not the other one

I am missing the Unlocking Files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...02&postcount=3

I dont have sufficient acess to download this file.
Can anybody uploaded or tell me where else I can get it

Thanks
