I can't find much either on that key, it may be the case that the GPSone chip in our phone isn't robust enough to make use of these settings to their fullest.

Doesn't hurt to adjust them, just note what the default setting was so you can put it back. I think that there is only so much our phone can do due to the hardware issue, and tinkering with the values may have little to no effect. We are bound by GPS sats, cell coverage, weather, your individual phone's unique performance and God knows what else. This is why people get such varied results with the same exact phones. I have had over a dozen 6800s and some definitely are better with GPS data than others.

I finally got a lock using Valhalla and the edits after a hard reset. Something must have been hosed from my previous regedits. Thanks everyone for all the feedback.

Is anyone having issues with Live Search? Google works fine, but Live search will not lock.

I havnt tested yet but I will in a little while. Im currently in a meeting and using my phone for internet acces for my laptop. Gotta love PDAnet! Anyway I'll check back in a little. This has me kind of interested because I use live search all the time but have been using google sicne this shabackle because it tells me how many locks it has, Live doesnt.

Interesting side note people. I just meet my mom at Barnes and Noble today. She complained about VZ Navigator not working for the past week. She has an LG Voyager though. At the beginning of this shabackle my wife's z10c world edition VZ navigator worked fine for her. That was the Saturday that all over our agps systems stopped working. Im looking over the voyager now but it's not recieving a signal. Don't know if it's related.

The voyager I mentioned a couple posts up I think was a spoof. I tried to get direction from it for 30 minutes without it being able to lock on to anything. After I went straight for a map view it found the phone fine and got directions without a problem. My mom also failed to mention until after it worked that she just had the phone replaced to because her old voyager died a week ago.

As for live search its working great here.

I gave Live Seach a shot yesterday with no luck. This was right after getting a lock with Google Maps so I definitely had signal. I also tried VisualGPSce to view sats and it only worked after getting a lock with Google Maps. The last thing I need to try is amAzeGPS.

I have had a few time lags over the last 2 days locking in with both WLS & Google Maps depending on my geographic location in Manhattan. I attribute this to the skyscapers occasionally blocking the signals. Eventually they do find the necessary satelittes and I am good to go.

Anyone running a custom rom, like NFSFAN, that doesn't use the vahalla server?

What are your settings for verizon? Is the ip in decimal form? Are you using agps? are you using pde or mobile?

Thanks!
