well, went and tried GPSviewer on my lunch break. I started the program, waited about 15 seconds, and BAM 11 satelittes. Started live search, clicked on center on gps, and it locked in about 2 seconds. Started google maps was locked onto 7 sats in less than 2 seconds. This is crazy cuz nothing else worked for me. Im gonna highly recommend this program and im gonna post my results in the other GPS vogue threads. Im stoked now!!!

Don't gret too excited. It has worked like that SOMETIMES with pretty much all of the ROMS and Radios, the problem is in the consistency. Sometimes it is instant.... others it will not get a lock at all. Sometime a soft-reset gets you an instant lock, sometimes it doesn't.

Nonetheless the GPS and Rev A performance is improved with the update. I was getting 1500KB/sec download last night. With the 3.37 radio I could only get up to 940KB/sec. Also, I never saw 2 second GPS locks with the older radio. I do agree that sometimes the GPS is flakey; but overall it works much better with the 3.35 radio.

umm i know that, i came from a titan and we went thru the exact same thing on there. GPS viewer should work when asked to, because it is meant to open up com ports to view satelittes.

I didnt say there wouldnt be issues with it, that comes with the territory, i was simply letting everyone know what i did, because like alot of others could not get a lock no matter how long it sat there searching,

Thats what I'm doing to get mine working, when it doesn't work a soft reset then the same process again seems to do the fix.

I know you are trying to help... but i have been on here the last week reading all of these posts, and it is hard to sort it all out. The GPSViewer trick was posted days ago (when we were all still on the original radio) and everyone said the same thing then. But, as time goes on people find it is NOT consistent and there are many time where it won't lock at all eiter, and then they come back and retract their statements. it seems like we are beginning to get into the new situation with the new radio... but it is hard to tell. Its just frustrating because these problems are intermittent.

well the seems to be an issue with standby mode and the GPS drivers. If all else fails, reset, and try again. You cant expect too much from a hacked rom/radio combo.

Hey JD, I like this radio alot for the lack of dropped calls... however I wanted to go back to the alltel to confirm I actually do have less dropped calls. How do you recommend I do this? Just run the alltel upgrade RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio [...].exe ?

well im trying the gps viewer for the first time, i let it run and it didn't find any satellites the first time, so i soft reset and ran it again, its been going for about 20 minutes and it still hasn't found anything. maybe something is wrong lol, it has worked before so i know it should :-p

make sure its set to com4 baud rate of 4800 or 9600. And click start/open GPS, then click on COLD START.

If the GPS isn't finding any sattelites, go into phone - options - services - location setting and make sure it set to ON -- if it is off, you won't get any place with the GPS.
