The GPS fix he mentioned is likely the one that speeds up getting a GPS fix (lock) via PDE servers... Don't worry about this fix, it won't do anything for you if you can't already get a normal (slow) fix (lock).

You need to make sure that your GPS is set to use COM4 @ 4800baud:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Services -> Location Settings -> ON
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Programs -> Program Port: COM4
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> GPS hardware port: (None)
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> Baud rate: 4800
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Access -> (Checked) Manage GPS automatically

If these settings don't get you a position fix with your GPS (in an unobstructed sky view with proper time to lock on) the GPS speed hack won't do you any good (and will just give you an opportunity to possibly brick your phone).

An initial fix might take a while to get (15min is not unheard of), I suggest going to an open field with a full battery and trying to get a fix with Google Maps -- each time after that initial fix should be significantly faster.

(If you continue to have problems, please post the specific program you are using, any error messages it may give, and how long you've given it to work -- that would help a lot!)

Thanks, I didn't have the Location turned on. The rest was already set from the OMJ ROM. I'm using Google Maps and "Seeking GPS satellites" now. It still shows 0 satellites. I'll wait and try it in an open area.

Thanks for a great Manilla 2D implementation for Verizon. I think HTC got it right with the Dimond UI and it works great on my Vogue.

OMJ,

I have Sprint and would like to install one of your Sprint 303 roms, but I like the 2d Manila roms too.

Do you have a Sprint version of the Manila 2d roms (which include the programs that your Sprint 3.03.04 Custom rom has)?

Thanks.
