Items 1 and 2 in your post needed to be corrected on my device - once there, I got some GPS action. I got about 10 minutes into my drive to work and got about 8-10 sats and locks onto 3 - 5 randomly with GPS viewer. GPS is working pretty good - but no where near 30 seconds to lock 4 + sats ... 3 minutes - 15 minutes depending on the area. |

sput - change the gpsmode reg key from 2 to 4, reset, and see if that helps lock quicker. It's under hklm:software:htc:supl_agps
If it does then we may have an answer for the Verizon touch and ppst. If so, it would help for you to explain what you ended up doing with verizon support to get the phone dialing and internet. |

I'm with Bell - what I mean by International mode is that instead of saying Bell as the carrier it says International. There is a big R in the status bar (for roaming) and every call says something like "<Caller name and Phone #> You are in Roaming mode and may incurr a charge>". And GPS see's many satellitess but no lock even after 15 mins.
Oh well... I'll reload the Sprint Rom and try again. Thx. |

Re: Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!
Alright - quick update. (FYI I'm with Bell) I installed the sprint rom and followed Ghetto's steps.
I installed the ppst cab that was included with the ROM and and then ran ppst.exe - this ran successfully. Typed ##786# from the phone and clicked menu>reset. Entered MSL - all went well. It turns out you cannot do the *22803 with Bell (tried before and after a custom ROM). When you dial it goes to an automated operator and you follow the voice prompts. But when you enter 1 or 2 it says "your phone is not eligible for an over the air update". Will try it out tomorrow and see how the GPS works. |
