Just remove the .txt from the end and import it with Memmaid or whatever.

Hope that helps.

I tried to import it as a registry setting using Resco Explorer, but it's saying "The specified file is not a registry script". I took the _1_.txt off the end so its showing as a .reg file. Any help appreciated, I really want this to work!

Oh yeah, that _1_ shouldn't be there. So the full file name should be RegistryExportGPSMode.reg and I know Memmaid will make it happen. I didn't think it was specific to the program, but give it a shot. They've got a free trial.

I have a registered copy of Memmaid too... just hadn't installed it yet. So I installed it and imported those registry settings. Soft reset, and I'm still waiting for signal. I'll wait awhile see if I get connection, and soft reset again. Ugh. Why is this not working for me!!!!!

Call tech support from another phone and ask for an akey. Tell them you are getting a cannot authenticate error after a hard reset as this is a documented problem on xv6800's and xv6900's. Even if voice is working it is not properly communicating with verizon's towers (tech support can see a communciation error at the network switch) if you are getting the 30 minutes searching after a soft reset or *228. I went thorough 3 xv6800's before data tech support and myself figured this out. Tech support number from landline is 800-922-0204 option 3. If you change the radio to another version you will have to do this again. This seems to only happen on native vzw 6800's and 6900's running a 3x radio and does not happen on other carrier's titan and vogues converted to vzw and running the same exact software and radio version. After you get the akey it should be fine and the radio will survive a soft reset with signal unless you flash another radio to it.

Thanks for the info----how do they give me an akey, and where do I enter it? Is it under the ##778 settings?

Tech support will generate you a new akey and they will walk you through the input. FYI its ##778 then select akey and edit but they will asssit you. Just tell them you get the cannot authenticate after a hard reset and they should give you a new akey no questions asked.

I started having this same problem yesterday after I finally got the GPS working...I've tried this, got the akey twice and it still hasn't worked. I reflashed the newest stock rom just to see and still having this problem. I've done the *228 deal numerous times, soft rebooted, and removed the battery numerous times. I can't fix it. Verizon was gonna send me another phone, but I don't want to do that yet as the warranty *Might* be voided. Have any of you solved this completely? Thanks in advance!


oh, how do you change the NAM settings...I couldn't find that in the phone settings or the ##778
