Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

[johnnymac]

Well I can report now that my GPS is working and working well. I flashed the Sprint Leaked ROM followed by the unlocker followed byOMJ's Custom Sprint ROM followed by a hard reset. Thats it. Nothing else.

I'm running Garmin-XT with GPS Intermediate Drivers (instead of COM 4 - com 4 WON'T WORK with Garmin for some reason. It does work with Google and GPS VIewer).

I'm getting at least 10 Sats now and it locks on in less than 10 secs. I will of course update you if it stops.

The only thing that I did differently was that I did all of the flashing at one time. Before yesterday, I would try the leaked rom. Then try something else .......eventually working my way through various ROMS.

I'm running Garmin XT using COM 4 and it works fine. Which COM port uses the GPS intermediate drivers?

My options are only to use bluetooth or attached GPS (COM ports 4, 6, 7, and 9).

I used COM for until yesterday when I downloaded the most recent version. 4.20.50wp. Now I can't use com4 on Garmin unless GPS Viewer is running. I believe that GPS intermediate drivers still have to use COM4 don't they? Either way, GRS Intermediate Drivers works fine and I have more satelites than ever.

PS - I did my initial satelite search after my hard reset on top of Rockefeller Center. I figured that was the best place! ANd it was, I have never picked up so many sats!!!!!!!!

YES!
Flashed to Leaked ROM, ran PPST.exe in the /windows dir, confirmed PRI 2.03, then flashed OMJ's... now getting 8-10 sats in 10secs. Amazing! Doing more testing now...
Definitely the fix we've been looking for...
