They are both free and very effective.
By the way, GPS is available all over the globe... Obstructions to the sky are what limits you.

Are you using 3.35 or 3.37?

Thx for the info. Im on 3.37 from the alltel rom. Ill try those programs. Last year i was traveling across the states and had a fusic and the gps worked great on it. It did not work in all areas though. Every major city it worked without a hitch. Maybe that was just coincidence. Also i havent tried until just now, but i cant get a lock anymore since my phone has been sleeping for a few hours. A soft reset fixed it.

Edit: well i cant figure out how to install java apps correctly. I have only got one opramini 4 to install successfully. Im using jbed build 20080222.3.1. and i get java.lang.noclassdeffounderror. i have both jar and jad files in the "my documents" folder and install them with the jbed installer. oh yeah the program im trying to load is gpsviewer.

For GPS, 3.35 works much much better. It seems aGPS is acutally working and that really helps me get locks faster.

*BUT* ever since I tried 3.35, my phone randomly thinks it's April 26th. JDs new lite rom and the new Bell OMJ roms both do this. I don't know if it's a driver in their roms or a problem with the radio. This ONLY happens after about 30s of GPS use, and generally corrects itself.... but not before triggering the alarms for the past week. So anoying...

I have a question regarding going back to 3.37.

I'm currently on the 3.35 radio and to go back would I just have to flash the:

6. Download and run RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.04.671.2_Radio_4350H_3 .37.10_Alltel_NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecia lNBH.exe

3.37 radio?

Or is it more complicated than that?

Thanks.

BTW - The radio is fine but the best performance I had was the 3.37 + the 1st rom JD came out with. I'm getting slower performance with the 3.35.

I just flashed back from 3.35 and ghetto 7 to 3.37 Alltel. No extra steps involved as long as you have unlocker 2.31

[wizard]

so all you did was flash to the 3.37 radio? nothing else involved?

As long as you have 2.31 installed all you have to do is run the alltel rom update, but remember. If you don't have Alltel for your service provider SOFT RESET BEFORE CUSTOMIZATIONS or you will lose your internet connection. I'm thinking of going back to 3.37 myself.

Those running 3.37 what is the Slot Cycle Index set to? Maybe that is the only difference. In Phone dial ##778<Send> -> View -> Menu View Info -> Modem Settings

My 3.35 is set to 2 and does seem to be consuming more battery.

And perhaps if Slot Cycle Index is set lower you get the initial "Assist" of GPS quicker.

Slot Cycle Index can effect

Battery
Drop Calls
Initial Phone Network after Soft Reset
And Maybe how fast aGPS gets info

If you're still having trouble getting a lock try staying still if you arent already. I went for a jog and it refused to lock for 15-20min despite showing about 10 sats on GPS Viewer. I sat down for about 1-3min and Googlemaps showed a lock with 8 sats. I then doubled back on my jog to where it refused to lock previously and I had a 3D lock. The whole jog I was bordered by an ocean and a large field, so there was never anything blocking.

Do you mean 2 or 1? 2 is standard.

When i tried the 3.35 radio on my touch i noticed in ##33284# my phone was pulling almost twice the amount of power than it was on 3.37 radio
