Thank you very much. I got it all working. It's great! Helps GPS significantly.

If you have a carrier that has a PPST.exe file, I don't think QuickGPS will help at all since GPS works great after running that file.

MindFrost82, do you have data plan or vision plan with Sprint? I don't have any data or vision plan, so I do get GPS locked in, but it will not give IGuidance enough data to give me turn-by-turn direction.
I did run PPST, but it didn't help much. When I connect my phone to the computer, then I'll get a lock within 30 secs inside the house. It doesn't run good on the road at all.

I do have data. With iGuidance you have to use GPSGate (which isn't free) and it should work good once you get a lock.

Please understand quickgps is a placebo, regardless what you're SURE it's doing, the file it dumps is NEVER AGAIN ACCESSED on the titan or vogue. It was not intended for our devices and does nothing for them. A missing component is needed to emulate a gps device and "play back" the data in the file thus programming the cpu's empheris data.

Please take the time to read the few posts on this subject from those that research into how things work.

That's interesting because I just installed this and now I get consistent locks under a minute inside my house whereas it was taking up to ten minutes (or no lock) before. I guess I'm experiencing quite the placebo effect.

I fully Agree with Shadomite xtra.bin is never accessed

I was researching a Fujitsu Device which uses QuickGPS uses a Proxy Com Port 8 (Software Port) and put Hardware Port to Com4 with 57000 as Baud rate, now when GPS Software access Com8 which uses xtra.bin type file and fine tune the GPS Signals which it gets from Com4, means there is some Proxy Software (Proxy Gate) which Encapsulate Com4 Singal and Fine Tune it using Ephemeris Data it gets from QuickGPS,

I never got that Kinda Settings in our Touch or Mogul

Attached is the Provxml file from Fujitsu Zool Device which Definately Sets proxy Software to fine tune GPS Signals with Help of Ephemeris Data, Here We should note Thats

SULP has nothing to do with QuickGPS Sprint Relies on SULP and uses Server Based Assistance and not this Kinda Assistance

i was able to get mine to work by simply installing the cab then taking the quickgps.exe and copying into my /windows folder.. it will ask to overwrite the old one.. jus say yes.. then it was able to complete downloads and lock within minutes
