2. If you are running a custom ROM, you will run the cab "Serf aGPS Telus" but you will need to follow QPST directions here, but put these values instead:

PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92
PDE Port Number = 8889
PDE Transport = IP


One note for everyone is that I set the GPS mode at 2 if you want to set it differently you will need to use a registry editor.

Being that I do not have Valhalla on my phone (custom roms only), I need someone to test that one to make sure it works. I used this thread here for the settings that I used.

UPDATED: Humpa exported me his working reg keys that I have used for the new and improved Valhalla cab. Hope this works for you all.

Posted also on XDA and in Mogul forum.

Serf, excellent. I am locking instantly now. Thank you so much! =D>

You went above and beyond with these cabs. BTW, I was having problems with Windows Live search. I found that com 4 setting was incorrect. I have it on intermediate driver and it locks instantly. It now works as good as it ever did. For additional info. I ran the Verizon mr1 update with customizations and utilized Valhalla to get GPS running. And I now have it back with Telus AGPS...

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

This may help some that have run QPST and are still having trouble getting the Telus settings to work.

I just had to do a hard-reset and full Sprite restore (well in hind-sight I didn't have to but that's another topic). Regardless, everything went fine but I could not get a GPS lock. I check my registry and everything was fine. I did a few soft-resets, pulled the battery, but nothing worked.... aGPS was gone.

I thought about checking the QPST settings but I already know that they are unaffected by a hard reset. But nothing else would work... so I ran my ##3424# and connected QPST.... read from phone... looked at gpsOne and everything was correct as I expected.

On a hunch, I chose "Read from phone" and then "Write to phone" in the QPST System Programming screen. Shut it down, disconnected my phone, and soft reset. Booted up VisualGPSce and got a lock sitting in my living room in under 10 seconds.

FWIW, those of you that can't get this going may want to try it.

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

I just tried disabling AGPS and I'm getting locks pretty quickly still (40 secs). I'm going to leave AGPS off as well as my GPS programs, and drive about 20 miles away tomorrow and start GPS viewer and see how long it takes to get a lock without AGPS.

Just want to Clarify....

I had my GPS working with Verizon Stock 6.1 w/ valhalla.
Tried both NFS 6.1 and 6.5 with the GPS "fixes" never got my GPS to work.
Tried reg edits, QPST mods to Telus settings, etc. to no avail.

Flashed back to VW 6.1, with Valhalla, and GPS strong as ever.

i really want to get this to work with a custom ROM (NFS 6.5)

Specifically how did you get the GPS to work with a custom ROM?

Flash to VW6.1: do not let customizatiosn run Y/N
Then flash to Custom ROM (me: NFS 6.5), let customizations run??

Then?
QPST to telus settings?
Run NFSFAN VW GPS .cab settings?
Any specific reg edits?

THANK YOU

I believe that the problem you may be having is that you need to flash back to a preGPS rom before updating to a new radio and custom ROM. MR1 installs some settings on a very deep level that prevent custom roms from using GPS. When you update to a signed nbh file (or RUU) from VZW they overwrite those files. This is the same on several phones.

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

A "preGPS" ROM. Where may I fond something like that?
Is that the VW 6.0 that came stock with the phone?

When MR1 installs these settings, is this during the customization process?

Now you are running a 3.42.5 radio, with is a Bell radio. But you are a verizon user. is it cool to "cross pollinate" radios between companies?

Thanks again ......

You need the ROM that was used before MR1 "unlocked" GPS for VZnav.

Don't install other radios and ROMs unless you know other people that have installed and it worked for them. I am on a Titan and that is the best one for us now, there may be a newer one for the Vogue that is better; you should read a lot before making any rash decisions. I know you can use this radio, but download carefully. Read this thread here for some newer information.

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

Installing the Serf aGPS Telus for Valhalla cab followed by programing & roaming updates seems to have restored aGPS functionality for me. Running the leaked VZW 6.1 update with the Valhalla GPS server fix. Thanks a bunch!

Re: Verizon GPS not working anymore

Hey guys - maybe you can help me. I followed all of the instructions at: http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS to downgrade my radio and work my way back up. (Before I did that, I had done the aGPS hack - installed the drivers and changed everything in QPST, but it still wasn't working.) So I decided to follow those steps from start to finish.

Problem is, now when I try to install the drivers in HTC Diagnostic mode, I keep getting the MS New Hardware Wizard looking for the drivers. I've installed, and reinstalled (rebooting the desktop every time) at least 4 times - same result every time. (I actually tried doing it on a different computer as well, and get the same result, so I assume it's something I've done with the phone.

I've now updated to the 3.42.50 Radio w/ the Bell Rom, and then flashed NFSFAN's 6.5 v6. Any ideas?
