GPS lock on flashed vx6900

[rolandroland]

Radio: 3.37.10
ROM: Vista 700

I followed the general how to (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24979) and everything worked great. I am up and running on everything but MMS (but I am verifying settings) and the GPS doesn't lock with a primer app or in Google or MSN software. My question is is it worth trying to reflash the Vista 700, try another ROM from another author or attempt the Titan radio. Just before I spin my wheels any more I was looking for some practical advise.

Thanks,
Roland

I just got mine to work... Have you tried Start>Settings>Phone>Services Tab>Location Settings>Location On?

And for Pic/Vid Messaging

Start>Messaging>Pics/Video>Menu>Pics/Video Configuration>Servers Tab

Edit Default

Server Name: Verizon Wireless
Gateway: Nothing Goes Here
Port Number: 80
Server Address: Http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Sending Size Limitation: 500K
Wap: 2.0

I did use the titan radio, Hope this helps

When I upgraded to 730 of GFR's ROM and that seemed to fix my GPS, now I nee dto wait 10 min for the4 initial lock and after that it locks quickly until the gps receiver goes back to sleep mode or whateever it does.

Unfortunetly the new ROM removed MMS/PIC messages all together and I tried installing the Arcsoft cab and didn't add it back. Any suggestions there?

Thanks!

Opps, I meant Vista 713 not 730.

Edit: and I just tried 715 witht he same result, no MMS

Just to be clear, it's not that it just isn't working, but it isn't even listed as an option under messaging.

Hmmm... I'd say go over to PPCKitchen.org and use the vogue kitchen. It works great on my phone and there are sooo many things you can add. Maybe a biased opinion, but I stick with what I know

When I try and run the updater for the kitchen I get "BuildOS_config.txt not found". Any suggestions?

What rom are you trying to use?

ive been cooking for two weeks from the ppc kitchen
first few roms were buggy, didnt have everything working.
got one now that works great.

to remove the customizations on the sprint rom just hard reset.
than soft reset when it prompts the customizations

I'll have to try that. The problem I have I guess is specific to Verizon vx6900 or something as no one else seems to have seen it before with my MMS/PIC messaging being removed from my device by a custom ROM and reflashing doesn't seem to do anything.

i was in the same situation as you are with txt/pix messaging. i finally got fed up from flashing and trying settings, and just called verizon.. not 10 minutes later he walked me right through some settings and i think a reset on his end, i was up and texting again. just thought i'd remind you there are some smart verizon tech people to call, if you get lucky
