Data block disables GPS

[aaronpentz]

My GPS works just fine without data the GPS works non assisted. It takes longer to lock and doesnt work so well in rough weather but it still works. I am runnign GPS mode 2 in my registry. Now im not on the MR1 update so that might make a difference.

I am running on mode 2 also in my registry and my server IP for qpst and registry is 66.174.95.132 and I am getting 4-6 locks inside and 6-9 outside with all my data blocked. when I turn my gps on it looks like it is connecting to the data but no data connect bubble shows up and it goes away after a few seconds. no data shows up on my bill and if it did i would pitch a fit cause i have the data block on it. and I use verizon. I also have radio 3.42.50 (the latest from Bell), PRL 51248, and ROM 3.08.666.1

I don't know how to do the things you did. When I try to use my GPS it try's to access data and then I get an error message because I have the data block. I have upgraded to Window's Moblie 6.1 with the Valhalla Legends GPS Server fix but since I did the data block I cannot use my GPS. I am unfamilure with the things you mentioned above. Whenever I try to change my IP server it defaults back to Verizon Wireless. I even tried to delete the Verizon IP but it resets itself.

I'm on the MR1 update, do you guys have instructions on how to make it work without data?

go here this is what I did to get my gps working with data blocked on verizon.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53561&page=2 obviously if you have already upgraded the radio no need to do it again. but if you haven't I strongly suggest you do but find a program to backup all of your data because you will be flashing your phone. like I said this is the exact way I did my phone it may or may not work for you use at your own risk.

jtuite,

I am really considering this to get my gps working. Will it work with the lastest verizon rom upgrading to Windows 6.1 or would you recommend using OMJ's custom rom? I really like how my phone is working now so if doing this give me the same functions with the addition of the gps I may just do it. The instructions here (www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html) seems to be a very good and easy to follow.

you can use the official verizon ROM and get gps working but I would reccomend using a custom ROM as they don't have all the carrier junk in it. if you flashed to the verizon ROM I think all you need is the coke unlocker 2.31
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN and followed these directions http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...VerizonAGPSFix
but I used 172.25.8.100 for the sever IP instead of verizons (in the registry and in qpst) I had to add this in my registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS]
"EnablePDEIPFromNV"=dword:00000001
and I changed the GPSMode to 4. you can use 1-2 or 4 but I found that 4 had a faster lock.
and I changed ServerIP in the registry to the one above I didn't use any cab file to change the registry I found it easier
to go in and change it myself. you can experiment with these setting until you the the desired results

I downloaded and installed lllboredlll_VZW_GPS_Fix_v2 cab and had to go into windows and run ppst.exe and followed the directions. then I downloaded GPStoggle which is a nice today plugin that you can turn your GPS on or off for the programs that cant prime like Igo8. after this you might or might not have to call verizon so they can authenticate your phone just tell them you had to hard reset.
go here to get the 2 above programs
