Just curious though, You said u had GPS working. Is this consistent? And did you do anything other than flash the sprint then OMJ's rom?

thanks

I don't know if this is a requirement but to get my GPS to lock on I had to open the "Phone Menu" and hit menu > options > services tab > Location Settings > get settings > and set that to Location on. Also I always open GPS Viewer and set it to com 4 and Open GPS. Then I just click on the GPS Status tab and go outside and wait for a few minutes till it locks on. Like I said it takes approximately 5 minutes to get a lock on 3 - 5 sats, and after that i can go back inside the building or wherever i am and it continues to work as it should. Now I must say that I just got this working Last night, so I am certainly not implying that my GPS is rock steady and has been working for long. Good luck.

Edit: Also I forgot to mention that I will be trying to write up our Verizon Flashing Guide tonight if I have time and the baby gets to bed early enough. Aaronk76 and I both did the flashing together so he will be assisting me in the writeup. I must once again mention that if it were not for OMJ and dharvey I would be nowhere so props go to them over me for sure.

WOOT!!!! That DID IT!!!

I have been flashing, reflashing, Enabling AGPS, Disabling AGPS, and any other thing i could find, but no joy. Can't see ANY satellites.

goathahalol pointed me in the right direction.

open the "Phone Menu" and hit menu > options > services tab > Location Settings > get settings > and set that to Location on.

Thank you Thank you Thank you goathahalol !!!!! =D>

I don't know why yours was set to off, but I've never had a ROM that this wasn't already "On".

Oh, I definitely know how it got turned off. Long before I dared upgrade my Radio and Roms, I turned the GPS radio off in the Phone Settings to extend battery life as suggested in the registry tweaks thread. I had just totally forgotten about it.
