If you don't mind sharing with the rest of us, how did you do it, I can't get mine to connect either

Or use the stylus and press the reset button.

But I have heard a while back that sometimes the customizations will still pop up after a soft reset or two.
But then after the second reset it never popped up for those handful of people that this happened to.

KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........

I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.

Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:

<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->

Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOff icial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.

After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.

Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.


THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09



I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.

the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!


Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE

I followed this tutorial http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS but used Kristal v5 Rom and did not have to do the last step. No aGPS fix needed if you use this Rom.

The Rom can be found here

I followed the instructions exactly. Actually twice. The first time I performed the aGPS fix, no joy.

The second time I loaded the Kristal ROM, again no joy.

Cannot pick up satellite either time.

VX6900
Radio 3.37.78
ROM 3.08.666.1
Hardware version 0001

Really frustrating !!!!!

Does Verizon still support GPS on the XV6900? I can never get a lock. Can post all of the registry settings and gps server ip for verizon?

Last week I was using my VX6900 with Google Navigation on Android. Haven't tried it this week. I don't think VZW ever really supported it. It was something the chefs cooked up so to speak

[duradil]

From what I've done myself...I used these steps and got GPS working.

Good luck.

I re-fixed per the first post and everything is rocking along now. I wonder whether VZW just screwed with people by changing up the server IP?

[shadow-tech]

not sure if u guys know this but u can just use the alltel agps server. it is a trusted server so anyone can connect to it.
