Who has GPS locks on their Vogue?

[horndoctor]

As I understand it, the problems Vogue users have with gps stem from the pri in the stock shipped roms from Verizon. They set it up on the last rom update so the 3.xx.xx gps capable radios would only function with Verizon's Navigator App. So essentially locking gps for anything else. This is probably the same for Alltel. Especially since Alltel is part of Verizon now. I did not know USCellular sold Vogues. I don't know about those. I hope my info is correct and I hope this helps to explain some things.

Yeah, US Cellular calls them the "Touch". Same thing though, the ID is the Vogue.

I run the 3.42.50 Radio on my alltel Touch and the 3.42.30 on the wifes Sprint Touch both flashed to cricket. As for my GPSone setting in QPST they are for cricket and are carrier specific.

If you want to give it a try go up to the stickys and follow my tutorial on how to flash the Vogue to cricket just skip the cricket setting and add your own.

Ok, weird but all my tinkering around led to her Vogue seeing NO SATS at ALL. So I decided to flash back to the stock rom, which is WM6.1. Then I installed QuickGPS. I also added the VIRSER_GPS.dll (because I noticed it wasn't started when I looked at the devices in the freddotnet task manager, which was because the dll wasn't there) and started that up, VIOLA!! GPS locks now from INSIDE the house, under 2 mins!!!!
But alas, my wife LOVES the WM6.5 ROM I had on there.. so I exported the registry entries related to GPS and making note of the gps dlls on the 6.1 rom and we'll see if I can't get it working on the 6.5 rom.

Good luck getting it working, I hope it works out to her liking.

Thanks... ironically she would hardly ever use the gps, if at all. More of a "I gotta get this da*n thing workin'!" issue for me I guess. I finally gave her back her phone, I've been messin' with it for about 24 hours, lol.
