I've had that happen when I first flash a ROM too. So far when that happens (the jumping around from 0..9..0..12) I let it run for 5 minutes or so and if it doesn't lock the only thing I've done is check for the EnablePDEIPFromNV=1 entry in the registry. Since it's never been there, I add it. Shut down (not soft reset) and restart and head back outside for a minute or two and get a lock.

I say "Shut down" because I've been frustrated many times with registry changes that don't take when I do the soft-reset too quickly. So far the Shut down/Power up sequence has written registry changes 100%.

The only things I can think of for you offhand are....

Make sure you have that HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS "EnablePDEIPFromNV " = 1

Make sure you don't have any "updating" apps installed. i.e. push email, weather, etc.

Run ONLY a "priming" app like VisualGPS

Disable the shut downs when on external power in the Settings/Backlight and Settings/Power sections.

Be patient. Plug your device into external power, run your priming app, and stick it in a window with a clear view of the sky for an hour or two... or better yet go for a long drive and lay it on the dash (I have another theory that it works better if you're moving).

Finally, if you live in Antarctica or something.... move!

yeh i have that regkey, whick gPs mode u have? i change between 4/2 since w 4 , verizon doesnt use towers to locate your device yet i hear/ or that Server iP is sprints so gpsmode 4 doesnt help at all.

well is this1-2hr test just a test? cause i certainly wouldnt be satisfied w 1hr to lock. i can go back to older radio and *sometimes* get 2m cold start locks/5s Hot start locks.

ill try new kitchen w new radio later.

got a lock using bell rom while outside.
just proves to me inconsistant.

i did get more locks today, if didnt lock, shut down the power and tried again.
i think gps was much stronger before with another radio, like at least i could get locks sitting near my computer, and not near a window/outside.
hmmm wonder which radio that was.

Okay I finished my 3.08 Bell Rom. Looks identical to the stock verizon rom. Extremely Snappy OS. thanks to me I did some research and tweaked the aGPS, Very FAST!

hi bude,
I can see you did a nice job on this final release of yours! ic you did update your Radio to .50 as well. I have update my phone to Bell official release, now can I update it to your ROM?

[negamann]

Yes sir you can! You can use it with any radio that supports gps
