Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

[mindfrost82]

I just re-ran PPST for the hell of it. I'm using the leaked ROM and I let customizations run the first time (and one of the items was PPST, which took a couple of minutes).

It might be coincidence, but now it looks like my reception is a *little* better. I also have SprintPCS in HTC Home now, whereas before it was just blank.

I've run the PPST.exe file and I'm picking up sats inside where I wasn't able to before. So far it's better than it was.

Good results here. I have the leaked rom and let the customizations run. The GPS was pretty spotty and somtimes took many minutes to lock (if at all). I just ran the PPST.exe, and started GPS viewer. I got a lock on 6 satellites in under 30 seconds (inside a building). I've never been able to get more than 3 locked from this location and it always took several minutes. Thanks for the tip! Hopefully, it'll continue to work well.

I ran ppst yesterday and immediately noticed an improvement. However, today I can't get any satellite fixes (clear sky and no changes)

Anyone else having these issues?

Same here. I'm running Garmin and when I first fired up the GPS I got good results after the ppst.exe. Now, after a soft reset, it won't recognize Com4 anymore. -I just hard reset. bugger. I'm going to reset before customizations and give it a whirl.

EDIT_____________
Rebooted without customizations and PPST.exe isn't in the windows folder now. Where is it? I'm giving up and becoming Amish.

I left all gps applications completely off since early this morning, and did not enable gps until I got home. So about 8 hours and 20 miles since last lock, and 40 seconds after I fired up TomTom inside my house, I had a lock.

That's every bit as good as I was getting with my BT GPS puck!!!

No lock-ups or other issues all day.

Keeping my fingers crossed for continued testing...

Hell, I'm going on my fourth or fifth day of flawless GPS.

1. I flashed Sprint's leaked ROM and let all customizations run.
2. I then flashed OMJ's New Sprint ROM.

Tested in both Bay Area and Las Vegas, locking within 30 seconds.

No priming and/or quick starting or additional DLL installations!

I'm in fear of flashing anything else in fear of losing what I consider a flawless working setup!

Wishing all the same.

Did you flash OMJ's custom ROM or the OMJ's OEM Rom?

Can someone upload ppst.exe I am currently running the ppckitchen, and I can not find the file. I did first install the Sprint leaked rom, and I let the customizations run, but my PRI is stil version 1.33_003.
