I havent seen a decrease in battery. By all means leave it on. Look for BAF's GPS toggle to turn gps ON/OFF on today screen. That should help

Just flashed from verizon to altel to ppckitchengps3.02. Very happy so far but for one problem: Can't get my quickmenu to work (press and hold end key). Is there some oem I should've installed or software setting to change for this?

Get a task manager and see if quickmenu is even running

Have you tried using visualGPSCE? How long are you waiting for a lock?

This was VERY helpful, but I still have one problem, perhaps you can help. I now hare radio 3.42.30 and I installed a 'generic' rom. ALthough the program GPS viewer scans and finds gps on com 4, I cannot get any locks on satelites. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. BTW Verizon xv6900 & I'm kinda new at this. Thanks in advance.

So, I don't see quickmenu running with dotfred task manager. Maybe it's in the windows directory somewhere already
or it's something i could install?
