Yes I unplugged the phone from the computer after transfering the cab to my storage. After intalling the cab in download the Qmaps files and it did get on a lock many sat's but then it said the signals was to weak. and it began connecting to the internet uncontrolably but was fixed after the soft reset....

Re: (Possibly) Working aGPS Solution!

I had working GPS all the way home from work, which is a first, and locked onto 4 satellites in my house =D>

For the poster from New York, I know how you feel, I used to be the one who saw all the comments about everyone happily using their GPS while I could barely get a lock anywhere. I live in Miami, which is kind of a large city too, and I have a lot of trouble getting a lock unless I use GPSToday, or Adrynalyn's new cab. Im not sure why yours is still having trouble, but I just wanted to let you know that I know how you feel. Sorry.....

Edit:

Vrz, unless you flashed your phone to the leaked ROM or a cooked ROM your GPS is essentially locked, this will NOT work. You need to flash your phone first

Give it a shot!
First, what a treat to come home to. Thanks again adryn for the amazing work.

Question about this statement above however... Does this mean we need to run the app every week or so to download new sat locations? Not a big deal if so Im just trying to foresee a potential issue.

Keep in mind it will make your phone like a hard reset, meaning your numbers and messages and additional software will have to be reinstalled.

Yes, just run the program when needed. The program itself downloads the info. It literally takes 5 seconds, even if I have to run it every time I need gps its not a big deal to me, it is that fast and simple
