What is the absolute best radio for GPS? - Page 2

Damn... Dharvey's ROM was amazing for GPS... but I couldn't run JiveTalk or nueMinutes... so now I am trying the official *.2 Sprint ROM... again...

Does anyone know if VIRSER_GPS.DLL actually does anything anymore? or GPSMODE=4 in the registry? I just want my gps to work as well as it does in Dharvey's... literally 5 second locks... and the Sprint one still only gives me 15-45 second locks...

So I figured out the difference... it was the "Assisted GPS Hack.cab" that he had included...

I found it and put it on my Stock Sprint ROM, running 3.42.30, and now I get 5-10 second COLD locks, with 5 second warm locks, and 0 second hot locks...

Before I installed it, hot locks could take anywhere from 5-10 seconds... which makes no sense...

The Qualcomm MSM7500 GpsOne chipset with NMEA 0183 supports up to 20 channels in the titan, which can be implied for the Vogue as well.
