GPS on XV6900 Without Data

[user60396561]

Stevens,

I installed official Verizon Windows Mobile 6.1 update with Radio 3.37.78 and customization from
http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/X...grade_file.zip
Device information shows ROM 3.14.605.1, ROM date 10/3/08, Radio 3.37.78, PRL 51344, PRI 2.03_002

I installed "Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab" I found on the web and changed HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=0

I installed iGuidance v4.0 onto the phone and put my maps on MicroSD. I did autodetect GPS to Comm4/Baud4800. Not sure what to do now? Is it suppose to automatically get a GPS signal and my location? I manually entered my location and a destination, and I get "Waiting for GPS Signal." Nothing after that.

The phone is activated on Verizon with Data Block.

Any ideas on why I can't get a GPS signal? Is there a way to test/confirm it working? Did you need to change any other settings like COM, LOCATION (911 only?), registry keys? Any help appreciated. If anything, I may just start all over.

I saw you posted a link to http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...1493&page=6#59. but it looks like it's instructions to fix aGPS not GPS standalone and using a custom rom not Verizon rom? Unless I missed something.

you need prime GPS first, then it will work. I installed the official verizon rom too, but I didn't let customization run. i don't install GPSServer too. GPS is working with TomTom. but I can't let phone go to sleep. GPS only work after soft-reset before go to sleep.

you need to set LOCATION to ON, not 911

To get it working, do the follwing:

1. Turn GPS Location to ON.
2. Install GPS Toggle from http://www.baf.cc/gpstoggle and run it to prime the GPS
3. Install GPS Gate 2.6 and follow the instruction from my other post here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...133#post730133

Hope this helps.
