Verizon - Official WM 6.1 Update

[Whosdaman]

Yea, the Verizon rom is very unstable with me....maybe it's a Verizon thing?

I'm with Verizon and I will pass on this one

No gps?

I took the plunge and flashed...

I had to call Verizon to reauthenticat emy phone... No biggie. It is pretty fast (1790 kbit/sec with 3 bars of service). I haven't figured out the GPS yet (if it really did activate it). I did the aGPS fix on xda-developers, still can't get Google maps to get a fix. Is there a program to "prime the GPS" ? Or something... Ideas?

Yea its really fast, I couldn't get GPS to work as well, went back to the Bell rom and now I cant get GPS to work on that 1 as well.

I was thinking... Did you flash the bell rom on top of the Verizon radio? If so, maybe the Verizon radio doesn't really have the GPS unlocked.

I think the Verizon Radio can only be used with VZ Navigater,

Yea... I'm sure I will get over it (the GPS)... I did have somethign weird happen though... after installing HTC Home (in prep for HTC customizer) the phone locked up (durring the restart process). It would freeze after the WM 6.1 splash screen. Had to hard-reset, and run *228 (option 1) to get the phone working again. If it does this to me again, I might run a custome rom on top of this radio. Should work, right?

This is a test ROM from Verizon, not an official release.
I am sorry I made it sound like it was official.

GPS is locked down by Verizon, you need to know the secret Verizon GPS api with the right username/password to use it.

I don't know if ie6 is actually in this rom, maybe only the radio is useful...

I did post this issue in post #7 about freezing
