Verizon GPS not working anymore

[suntopper]

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.

Then soft reset -I ussually wait about 20-30 seconds after changing then soft reset and for whatever reason after that I power off pull battery and restart,
Hope this helps

OK. I tried entering the Telus information many, many times, only to be frusterated by no aGPS. Much props to WMNoobie. I followed his advice and recreated the registry keys and values with the types he specified and FINALLY, aGPS is working. I'm getting locks from a cold start in less than 30 seconds, indoors.

My situation was as follows: I have an xv6900, MR1 and Valhalla's cab. I was entering everything as suggested many, many times in this thread and the xda thread and it wasn't working. I had to switch back to Mode=0 to get anything (plain GPS -slow!). After recreating the reg keys/values, aGPS started working after a soft reset.

Ok Is there any agreement on a fix for this issue yet ?

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

Ditto

I have a Verizon XV6900, using official 6.1 MR1, Valhalla CAB, no external GPS. I did a test by installing VZNAV, got the aGPS working again. Took it off and within a day it stopped working all together. Just now I tried a combination of these settings and now aGPS is working again:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode=2 (the original value)
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress=5C8BC6D8
HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort=8889

REG_DWORD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\QoSAccuracy = Relative fix accuracy requested. Defaults to 64. (Max of 255, higher values request a more accurate fix, but this may increase the time to acquire a fix.) I set this value to 255

Let's see how long this will last!

Oh, and if it makes any difference after entering the registry keys I powered down and removed the battery before rebooting.

I don't think it does, there is talk on TP, Titan, and Vogue on several forums that Verizon, Alltell, and Telus IPs for aGPS are all working. Ditto on not knowing how long this will last, but good to be somewhat legitimate again

Just to confirm guys, for any more questions. Since someone posted the telus IP server info on here I have been using that from the first post with the info and agps is till working great here.

Well I've done everything in every post and I'm still NO GPS WTF ?

[wmnoobie]

I tried Verizon today with my original settings and with the other VZ settings listed in this thread and could not get them to work - I went back to
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
Working fine
BTW it took me a few tries to get it to start (previously never had trouble) I did turn off pull battery and restart. Last thing I did before it began to work was go to settings,system,external gps,Access <- Here I unchecked box to manage gps automatically _ then soft reset _ went back rechecked the box and soft reset again GPS Back up Hope this will Help
