That would explain why hybrid mode is quicker.
my understanding is smartmode is for serverbased apps, ie sprintnav/telnave...
if default is enabled the gps is trying to send/recive data it can't use (unless aforementioned app is "listening" for it)

HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPLAGPS/
GPSMode --> Change to 4 (orginal value 2)

OK, notice a bit further down in the same location in the registry it refers to a server IP and port ( alc126.alcatel.be [195.207.101.126]). WTF am I sending to an Alcatel server in Germany?

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS

I don't know if its no2's 5065 or the fact that I have a brand new Mogul... but my GPS is 100% reliable now. It takes less than 10 seconds to get a fix, no matter if I'm in a building or outside (though if I'm outside, the fix is immediately accurate), and I don't have to soft reset after using it or having the phone on for awhile before it works again.

I checked his settings and its set at 2... So I don't know what's up but my GPS kicks *** at this point.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS

I tried the registry changes and had great results intitially after soft-resetting. Locked in 10 seconds or less. I tried out Sprint Nav, Google Maps, Windows Live Search, and finally Garmin XT. It worked perfectly for the first three, but I think Garmin XT somehow screwed up settings, because after running it and soft resetting, it was as if I never did the registry changes...took 5 minutes to lock again, but the registry changes I made had not reverted back.

I did the registry hack again and it's working perfectly again. I have not run Garmin XT again and don't plan to. I think it is responsible for many of us losing the AGPS functionality enabled by the registry hack.

I tried to check that out... .be is Belgium, not Germany, and I found this "explanation" of what that Alcatel site does...

Quote:

OSP architecture allows scalability up to a distributed architecture with multi-processor nodes supporting up to more then 1000 transactions per second (TPS); large volumes of data can be handled by the service data point (SDP), which shares the data across several applications in line with an operational logic
Java-based standard platform access; automatically generated Java graphical user interfaces provide application management, database population, and user self-provisioning
Reliability and dependability can be offered on several levels depending on necessary hardware and software redundancy schemes; supported configurations include active/stand-by, load sharing and mated pair (supported for all nodes)
Installed base of SCPs and SMPs at 60 operators of which 25 operate full IT-based systems prove service design and testing and deployment competence; operational capacities of 700 CAPS on full IT systems indicate reliability and scalability of service execution
Standard IT tools are used throughout the service lifecycle and on the execution platform itself; optional tight link with CCSS#7 and INAP; protocol independence is achieved via an extension of the existing INAP-version, and proven with operational implementation

Does anybody here speak this language? Is it just saying that aGPS is a distributed processing application, and we are using a server in Belgium to direct the distributed processing?

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS

Thanks everyone for your help. Finally got my GPS to work with Goggle maps.

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS

Holy crap, thanks!
I get a lock with about 6 satellites in less than 3 seconds... while in my room!

Re: Enabling A-GPS (Assisted GPS) on WM6.1 ROMS

Thanks, my 6900 is woking fine with GPS.
After the modification, the speed of seeking is quick. There are also more sat.

Cheers,
Hans

I do have changed it,but it changed back when I restart the machine.
