so we can basically accept it as fact that with any rom created by the official ppckitchen.org kitchen gps will not really work near as well because it will screw up the things that ppst.exe fixed/set...correct? anyone?

[mr.jcarter]

Has anybody tried this using the old gpstest rom and recieved good results? Or will this work only for the leaked rom?

Me and a friend both have Verizon, we took exactly the sames steps, flashed the leaked sprint radio and JD's lite rom..mine works perfectly with agps and all..his doesn't do a thing.

I was hoping this could be his fix but this is only for sprint correct?

I tried it this morning after my phone was in standby for 8+ hours and it worked great. I was in my house (a few feet from a window) and Garmin got a lock in under a minute (with 3-5 bars in the Garmin display). Before I would rarely get a lock in my house, much less after 8+ hours of standby.

Now it seems to be working just as good as my BT GPS puck

What version on Garmin are you using? And, are you using GPS Intermediate drivers or COM4?

If I open GPS Viewer and then open Garmin and select COM4, Garmin works great and finds the hardware. If I only open Garmin and try to select COM4, it can't find the hardware then switches to GPS Int. drivers. I never had a problem with not using COM4 in the past. I recently updated Garmin to the most recent version so that could have made a difference. -I don't care whether I use COM4 or GPS Int. drivers, it is working. Even after being off all night long. (Now the question is "For how long...?")

I'm using 4.20.50wp. It is set to GPS Int Driver...and that way I don't have to use GPS Viewer or any other program first, just fire up Garmin and it works.

If it can't find a lock, the only bug is that it changes your date/time until it gets a lock (or until you go into phone settings, time sync options and sync it with the cell towers).

Used the cab on the previous page, unzipped, ran the cab on the phone, went into the windows folder, ran PPST.

I went from NOT being able to lock (I left it searching for about an hour lasst night) to getting a lock in under 20 seconds in my apartment with it raining outside - got 8 SATS. AMAZING!!!

This is on OMJ Custom rom

So let me get this straight, the PPST.exe simply updates the PRI? I checked and my PRI is the most updated one.
