I modified the Valhalla settings to used the alternate IP adress and it worked fine but then I switched back to another rom of NFSAN and I can't get past the wmodemdrivers to recognize my phone in order to update via the qpst method.

Am I supposed to use Valhalla or modify the qpst? Is the fact I can't get wmmodemdrivers installed have anything to do with the 3.37.78 radio?

I had the same problem with drivers and NFS's ROM. DL and install this driver on your pc, then navigate to Device Manager and (I think) HTC Diagnostics and right click to "update drivers." QPST should then be able to "see" your phone and you can make the changes.

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

Did you check to make sure your Location is set to On and not to 911 Only? Check also to make sure your port is Comm4 for gps, including in Google Maps.

Can you uninstall the Valhalla?

Just some more thoughts . . .

This one does work. I had made the changes last week while out of the country. (didn't work then). I did the two soft resets made all the difference. Had quick locks last night. Drove today from western Michigan to Akron, OH and it worked everytime I tried even after a soft reset. I am using Google Maps, Live Search, AmazeGPS and Google Navigator. All are working flawlessly and I am getting 5-9 satelites within 15-20 seconds of opening the app.

Thanks a bundle

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

I couldn't uninstall Valhalla so I did a hard reset to start over.

I was finally able to connect with QPST (the settings were blank originally, I guess when I went to official VZW ROM the settings got lost) and modify my settings to:

216.198.139.92
8889
IP
PDE

I also installed the VZW cab to make the registry settings and changed the settings to reflect the same changes above.

I've checked location to make sure it is on and I checked com4 settings.

Still nothing in google maps or gps viewer.

I really don't want to go back to the Official VZW ROM just to get gps.

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=2 Decimal
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress=5C8BC6D8 Hex <-set to Hex before entering
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort=8889 Decimal

Ok what the hell!! After this working for 24 hours, then not working again, I changed the value to 8888 and it is seemingly working.. what's really going on here?

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

okay, did Telos block us now too?

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

I vote to have this problem fixed, Is anyone working on it? or have all the Pro's moved on to newer phones.

Still getting locks here on Telus so I believe it is not the server IP, but the hardware and software solutions that you are using. The problem lies in Valhalla's drivers I believe; many people have experienced that the settings roll back after a while. I don't think there will be a fix for Valhalla as I believe Skywing may have moved on to bigger things.

Some have experienced lasting results with Custom Roms for the Vogue, you may want to try that avenue.
