I'm in the Eugene Oregon area and the GPS on my phone quit too? I thought it was because of the rom I was trying but, no fix is working?

I have the verizon rom installed. The WM6.1 I installed the Vahalla gps unlock, and the new fix from surfboard. I still can not get it to connect to any sats. I have the phone set to location on and the gps setting to com 4 and run by windows. I also have it set to managed by windows in google maps and still no sats. It searches and searches but never locks. I have followed all the directions, but just can't get it to work. Any one have any ideas what is wrong or what I have done wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Seems like everyone has just been getting different results. I have the VERIZON ROM from PDC ran customizations so I installed Valhalla with Serf Telus +*22899, change location setting to location on, made sure settings are COM4, None, Baud rate 4800, & managed by windows but nothing. No GPS? What did I do wrong? Do all these need to be installed in the local memory? Most of my installs are installed in the storage card but that shouldn't matter right? BTW I've never got mine to work ever.

My 6800 with MR2 is doing the same exact thing with GPS via googlemaps. I refuse to pay for VZNavigator. I already pay $82 a month, I'll just as soon cancel and switch to Sprint Everything Plus and get everything a windows mobile phone should have. Even wireless sync e-mail. I'm so sick of having to use imap.

Way to stick it to your customers yet again Verizon.

Is this something that can be solved with a fresh ROM? I have been hesitant to do the whole shebang. However, If I can get the GPS again, I will do it.

I had functioning GPS till Sunday or Monday. This is really new. I doubt anyone knows what to do to restore it yet. I wouldn't go hard-resetting or flashing a new rom or cooking a new one or anything drastic just yet. May just have to wait a few days and see what the geniuses at XDA bust out.

Is this recent change limited to just the xv6900, i wonder? are xv6800 users experiencing the same thing?
