Titan 3.35.04 radio

[jakdillard]

yeah cool but the only reason I went ahead and shared a hybrid rom was for the updated drivers I threw in ..... and I was trying to just build a stable os at one point now there is really no need for it since (call it a hunch) 6.1 may be more stable with the newer radios ... so consider it a dead project now

So is your advice for the future to go back to the alltel rom and then move forward from there and abandon this project?

its actually working out pretty well for me. My REVA sppeds aren't quite what I hoped but I have the hybrid ROM and something snapped with GPS the AM - it worked 10x better than it has and even working in my office downtown (although about a block off) but still I never managed to get GPS reception even with my BT receiver....so thanks JD.

I ma have missed it, but can ou post sme insight on what files these drivers are, and where they came from so we can try them out on different builds and see for sre if that is the fix??

im using 3.35 and one of the 6.1 roms(ghettoryder), couldnt get a lock for the life of me...heres what i did:

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.
