Cannot get gps to work (Verizon)

[flipzkid]

I have WM 6.1 official release from VERIZON. Also, ran customizations. I currently have a data plan and have googlemaps and livesearch installed. Read on one of the post that you can get it to work if you run Valhalla which I did and also ran Serf Telus for Valhalla. I've also turned location on, set GPS program port to COM4, hardware none, Baud rate 4800, & GPS managed automatically by windows. I don't know what else I am missing?

What are your exact settings in GPS Gate? I've been trying to get it to work with Garmin but haven't had luck. I'm using
-Verizon, no data plan
-official Verizon Windows Mobile 6.1 update with Radio 3.37.78, Rom 3.14.605.1, and customization
-Valhalla Legends GPSServer and changed HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=0
-GPS Toggle
-GPS Gate 2.6.1, input "WM GPS", output "Virtual COM2 / (All NMEA) NMEA Filter"
-iGuidance v4.0


Flipkidz,
this thread is for people without a data plan: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...688#post887807
People with a data plan can also use it but I think there's some slight tweaks that you can make to get a signal even faster if you have a data plan.

Did you try to turn your GPS Location to ON?

[flipzkid]

Yes location is set to on. Do I have to flash my ROM? As far as I have read on here it says that Valhalla + Serf Telus should do the trick for Official Verizon ROMS even after running customizations. I don't think I did anything different from some of the users that have had luck. I'm confused.

You guys don't have to use the Valhalla hack, GPS gate & any of this other garbage. Flash a custom ROM (NFSFAN's 1.15) & your GPS will work flawlessly.

[1] Unlock with 0.40.coke
[2] Flash Sprint ROM RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_ Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[3] Unlock with 2.31.coke
[4] Flash Verizon ROM RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.77_Ship DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN
[5] Flash any custom rom
[6] Do the agps fix on xda (if you want the stock rom do this before step 5)

You can skip step 6.

Others have had great success with this.

jadesse, does your method work even if you don't have a data plan or have data block on your line?

[damaph]

His method will work if you do not have a data plan, but make sure you read some on unlocking and flashing your rom beforehand otherwise you might end up with a brick. You should be fine though. After you flash you ROM, you will see that customs ROMs are much nicer than the official one too.
