ive upgraded to evdo rev.a with this rom

ALMOST OEM 6.1 Sprint Vogue ROM **V.2.1** with Working GPS/Rev A.

and the ppst.exe file is missing, i am trying to get a hold of this file because it is said to be linked to faster gps locks (and mine are extremely long) can anyone can post a link somewhere i can download the file or where i can find it.....ive searched the whole phone it is not in there unless im blind

I had this same problem. I looked and looked, but it turns out that someone else has posted it on here. search easy gps fix. It should be a zip file with a cab in it. install the cab, then look for ppst.exe in the windows file. run it and follow the directions, it makes a world of a difference for me now. good luck.

I never ran the PPST.exe since during the customization it ran itself. Or is this a different type?

From what I understand, you only have to run the PPST once. It will upgrade your PRI to 2.03_003. Supposedly the best way to do it is by using the leaked ROM: install leaked ROM -> let customizations run -> soft reset -> check PRI -> re-run ppst.exe if not updated -> then flash whatever other ROM you want. The ppst.exe mainly updates your PRI, not sure if it does anything else.

i ran the exe and it did the soft reset but im going on like almost 10 minutes now and still no lock.....im in az btw so you have a clear veiw of the sky almost everywere as long as you can stand the heat....i have it set to com4 and the baud rate at 4800....is there any reason to change the baud rate?

it looks like it finds like 5 or 6 satelites but doesnt lock on them...they pop up for a second or two and then it resets all the other ones it found

but then again my satelite tv is freaking out right now pretty bad so ill try again later and hopefully its just something weird going on out here right now

i think what you are supposed to do is install the cab, then go to the windows directory on your phone and run ppst.exe. then that'll reset your phone for you and then it'll work, supposedly. I'm doing the same thing right now actually so I'll report to see if it helps.

edit: wow, it actually helped ALOT. I've never been connected to more than 4-5 satelittes. right now it's jumping from 7-10 connected. SWEET! Hopefully this'll get rid of the GPS dying and me having to reset as well.

i did run the ppst.exe that is in the windows folder and it did the reset and all that...im going to try another test this time ill going to go outside instead of just putting the phone in a window

wow....going outside made a huge differece connected to like 7 satelites within 2 minutes thanks alot guys....any suggestions on the baud rate though.....should i just leave at 4800 or sis there a better setting?
