New to this. I have the xv6900 for verizon, what do i have to do to get gps on it?

[justpjteb]

So i have read a few places about having a gps software on this unit. I am actually trying to figure out if I should get rid of this phone and get a new one, or get a gps unit or just switch to att and get the iphone... If someone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it thanks!

If your intentions are to switch...There is really n point in trying to talk you out of it tae a look at this for enabling GPS http://arianhojat.com/files/phone/vx...ustom_rom.html

Start by searching. Mostly folks will ignore you if you don't look around and at least try to learn what those before you have done. Most anything is tolerated here except laziness, this is a motivated group and they expect you to be as well. That said, there is a ROM for Verizon in the "upgrades" section which will enable your GPS if you do a few things before allowing it to update your phone and a few things after. I am just a user and I was able to follow the directions to upgrade my VZW 6900 in about an hour to a fully GPSed, stable platform with better performance and longer battery life than as shipped by the carrier.

I've tried following all these directions several times... seems simple and straight forward to me but somehow I am unable to get the GPS to work... any idea where I could be going wrong???

go here and follow this http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53561&page=2 it works good even if I hard reset it takes about only 10 minutes to get my GPS up and functioning.

And all directions associated with each of these cabs (QPST and reg edits)

does this shed any light on the challenge?

It sees like you have everything in order. for my phone I had to do the agpsfix with qpst first then the lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2 before mine would work and it initially took about 2 minutes to get a lock but after that it was fast with lots of locks. I use GPStoggle instead of GPStool because it is easier to use. also my ROM is 3.08 because I built my own ROM and PRL 51064 don't know if that is maybe why this way works on mine and not on yours. thats all I have if anybody has anything that would help feel free post it.

Make sure your GPS is set to com4 and your location is on as silly as it sounds these are the leading errors in making your GPS work if you still have peoblems pm me I'll try to help.
