Tried it this morning after flashing Adry's 4.1 ROM last night. Locked in under 30 sec. Tried it again 20 minutes later, next lock was in about 5 seconds.

THANKS!!!!!!

I just tried what is posted here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...03&postcount=8
and with using HTC Quick GPS, I got a cold lock in 2 seconds! I never get a lock here in my shop and this for some reason worked great! I highly recommend it. Google Maps doesn't even look for sats, is just pops right up. I'm gonna SR and try it again.

After a SR, got a lock in 10 seconds with Google Maps, opened Bing and got a lock in 1 second.

i have yet to get my GPS working. I have followed every page of this thread. Google Maps says "seeking GPS satellites (176291136)" it says that for a few minutes and then goes to weak signal. FYI i also have a Sprint HTC Diamond which that gps locks on in less then 30 seconds - so i know its not my location.
After going through all these pages i see that some people get it working right away and others are having problems. It's frustrating as i am deciding whether to keep my verizon (omnia) service. If i can get GPS working i would dump my diamond. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Okay let's get the stupid stuff out of the way...you did flash the CC20 correct? you did switch Location to On and not 911 right?? You went outside and stood under a clear sky and didn't move right??

Okay, had to get those out of the way. Did you try setting the GPS options in GM to Com8 and 57600 baud?

yes again.

Has the weather been bad where you are? Have you tried Adrynalyne's q-gps stuff?

The weather here in NY is a beautiful 70F and sunny. I have tried:

Quick gps.cab
HTC_QuickGPS-patched.CAB
GPS Quick Position.cab

i don't really know what if anything i am doing wrong...
