Question Need some GPS help please.

So I initially followed all the instructions for REV-A & GPS in the consolidated sticky. Then I decided I wanted to use OMJ's ROM, so I flashed the leaked ROM from OMJ's thread to I guess upgrade the radio to 3.37.15 from the 3.35 one in the consolidated sticky. I then flashed in the Verizon custom ROM.

GPS today finds what I assume is the internal GPS on COM 4, but I can't seem to get a lock. I made sure that Location is on and not set to 911 only. Is there any way to check the radio version to make sure I did actually get the correct software in there?

I've searched around, but there is just sooo much information I can't seem to find anything very helpful.

Just Soft Reset your phone and the Radio and ROM Version will be Displayed.

Re: Need some GPS help please.

Start Menu -> Settings -> System -> Device Information

It says 3.37.15 there right?

Go outside with a clear view of the sky and run GPS VIEWER (COM4 baud 4800, press Open GPS, then cold start) and wait a 3-10 minutes. Check the GPS Status tab to see if you lock on (bars will turn blue)
