GPS kick start for unsigned drivers

[mswlogo]

Now I'm starting to see the picture.

For the record GPS has worked with every set drivers so far (without kick start because I did the "1-2-3 security lift"). But I have had the GPS Lock after a few hours with no pattern (might work next day, might not). Soft reset always worked.

I have seen what might be side effects from the different drivers and I've been blaming different radios. Too many variables.

I've had phone drop call while stand still with good signal (probably radio in this case)
Had Data Connection not drop after many hours idle (always did with Sprint ROM) I think some drivers were keeping Data connection awake.
Had phone lock up at end of long BT call phone had gone to sleep during call. Would not wake up. (not sure if this is GPS driver related)
Had Data Connection hung overnight (I think this is possibly GPS Driver related).

I put 3.35 Radio on, Ran Sprint Customizations, Stock Alltel OS ROM, and your newest drivers and this is the best 18hr's yet. But I've said that before and had to eat my words.

Data Connection Shut down on it's own, first time, good sign things are "normal" !!!
GPSDaemonService not running, not needed and think it's related to better behavior so far.
You have to be careful about judging quick GPS lock, but first lock I got 7 sats almost instantly. I'm sure I won't continue getting instant locks, but that was first time I ever got 7 Sats.
No Kickstart needed (I rand 1-2-3 Security Lift).

Next test is the long BT call tests and long term stability of GPS across a single boot.

Hey does it matter if my phone isnt alltel in order to use the gpsenable/kickstart file?....... I noticed the alltel file in the zipped cab (its also called alltel_gps_enable.cab), cheers

It does not matter it is not carrier specific.

Are there any registry edits that need to be done? Nothing happens when I install the cab and move the exe to windows/startup. Hmm

Hi Guys,
Hope you can get me to the right direction, I have the Altell Radio and Sprint ROM 6.1, everything work great, except I can never get GPS working, I have try hgray and rstoyguy drivers.... GPSviewer found the GPS and also GPS Test found GPS... but never been able to even locate a single SAT, I use to get 4 Sat on Altell rom but then again unable to lock and now GoogleMaps dont even have the blue spot anymore...
I am from NZ, therefore PPST exe wont do me good,,,,, hope you guys here can offer some solutions....Thanks

PS>>> I am using the OKTA Touch aka HTC Vogue with virser_gps
