From where I stand you have a few variables to test:

1. You can try using the Bell aGPS information posted here on post #73. I got good locks yesterday when I was testing but I didn't check for accuracy. You could also see if any of the other server IPs are working from post #74.

2. You can adjust the registry settings to what is optimal for you. I would think that if the QosAccuracy doesn't do anything for you, Mode would be the only other really important area to play with.

3. Try updating PRL and software through *22899, it may help a little. Having new QuickGPS data downloaded may help a bit.

4. Try some other GPS software and see if it is more or less accurate.

5. Hard reset and flashing new ROMS. This may be the one area that really makes a difference. Just make sure that you don't load a bunch of other stuff before testing GPS so you can have some confidence in your results.

6. Anything that anyone else can think of???

Just FYI I am good using TomTom within five or ten feet at worst. How accurate do you need to be? I mean are you using this for your approach shot using a three wood or are you looking to drain a twenty footer?

Thanks for the reply Josh. I need to really test the accuracy and not rely on something like satelite pictures in google maps. When I take a closer look at google maps the roads aren't sitting on the sat view roads anyway. When I'm in the house, google maps puts me on my front lawn. Live Search has me just about right.

But the real reason for this post; Has anyone noticed that the VZW AGPS server is back and working. I flashed my phone with NFSFAN's 1.14 last night and all day it's like the good old days! Locks in seconds! (afraid I'm jinxing this!)

The registry shows serverip 66.174.95.132 and port 8888

Edit: I knew I'd jinx this. It worked for about 20 hours but sometime between 4:00PM and 5:45PM PDT VZW must have caught on! It's now taking about a minute to get a fix inside. I'll keep testing though.

You're not crazy, it was working for me for a while (southern Michigan)
