my phone is set to the above and works great!
it never needs/or initiates a data connection... i can get locks in flight mode as well

i'm using OMG's latest bell custom rom and this fixed my gps!

prior my settings where:
EnableAGPS=1
EnableGPSSmartMode=1
GPSMode=2

and it would work ... but it took like 20mins in a moving car to get a lock ... after yr changes i got a lock, here in my room, after about 1min. sweet!!

actually i just changed them back after a soft reset ..and it now gets a lock within a few seconds.

seriously ..wtf.


but at anyrate, it's working after i fiddled with these settings and i upuntill tonight had not got a single lock outside of a moving car, or within 10 mins.
