GPS with verizon firmware

I just reloaded my phone with the most current firmware from Samsung. I still did not have working GPS and did not want to go with a cooked firmware yet. I had been doing allot of searching to get the GPS working on the phone and finally ran across a post on another site that helped. I just had to download GPS Toggle http://www.baf.cc/gpstoggle then reboot the phone after that all I have to do is turn on GPS Toggle wait for it to connect to satellites and then open any GPS program I want and it works. I have been using Google maps.

Just thought I would share this.

Re: GPS with verizon firmware

I get quick locks by not holding on to device until it locks. Usually takes 45sec. with gmaps and iGO using DC22 stock rom. With CC20 I had to use gps gate or toggle. But no more. Set device down outside or on dash and see how it goes.



good day

Re: GPS with verizon firmware

I use SPB Mobile Shell and never use my today screen, is there a way to add a widget for GPS Toggle?

maybe Im just confused but my Bing,google maps,bike map app lock onto gps signals if I just turn location from 911 only to on. I leave location on,have "use gps" enabled on the apps and have no problem getting locks. Ive got stock rom, mobile shell 3.5 and no gps toggle apps.

Re: GPS with verizon firmware

For me the locks always come quickly if I use the GPS daily. If I let it sit for a few days and then try to use the GPS, it takes much longer to lock on.
