Anyone know how to undo it? I had better performance before I ran it. Will a hard reset fix it or is it in the radio and I have to reflash the radio.

hard reset wont fix it. i believe you'll need a diff ppst (i.e. your old one) and run it over this one.

i have the exact same problem. I tried this when it was first posted, then again today. still no luck. At the end, the installer states that installation was unsuccessful..
anyone else having this problem?

You've either got a bad Touch or you need to install the new ROMs. I am currently running the updated Sprint ROM and DHarvey 2.9.6. Locks at most in about 30 seconds on 5 sats iniside.

not true at all. tons of people are having problems with GPS, hence all of the threads on the subject, but thanks for playing.

mine worked at first, no problem. Then, it stopped working. I updated the ppst, it worked a few times, then it didn't. I changed the GPSMode setting, it worked, then it didn't. I changed it again, and it worked, then it didn't.
So, mine seems to have a pattern of working for a few days after a change, but then crapping out completely again..

You know your Touch better than I. But I've got to add - given how flawlessly my Touch works with DHarvey's ROM - you need to return yours.

I've had mine for at least 6 months.

I understand that yours works perfectly. good for you. I don't want to put another ROM on, which is why I'm trying to find a solution (as are tons of other people) to the GPS problem.

pull your head out of your ***..

Sorry didn't mean to offend. No need to be ugly. Enough of that going around.

it's a line from Rushmore..

All I'm saying is that we understand yours works. Congrats.
Clearly there are issues, where some GPSs work and some don't. If it was as simple as a ROM, that'd be one thing, but it's clearly not..
The fact that my GPS works for a few days everytime I make a change to the GPS registry shows there is something else we're still missing, at least with my phone.

I have a Verizon 6800 and get the same inconsistent responses out of the GPS on it. No amount of anything make a permanent fix.

On the other hand, when I purchased my Sprint Touch I had to update with the newest Sprint ROM. The GPS has worked flawlessly for the past 3 weeks.

Again, no offense intended.
