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

[verkion]

Consensus bites...its more fun to argue endless for pointless reasons. Oh wait...I was the one who started this thread, *quickly dons flameproof suit*. If it works for you great...if not, *in Nelson voice* HA HA. (quickly runs away...)

I think of it this way: if it's not obvious that it's better by this point, then it's value must be negligible.

I have a alltel touch with stock ROM can some1 tell me how to get the gps working on this phone. I have been using google maps but a friend has the mogul and his gps works.

i dont think the Touch also known as the Vogue has that unlocked yet, but there's an entire section for just that device... i did search for GPS on the Vogue but returned nothing useful, making me think again that it's not avail ... yet

This is an awesome find I too am getting a lock in just a matter of seconds in places that I didn't get any satellites before.

what exactly does that registry value mean? I know that it supposedly helps with locking sats better but what would be the actual difference between 2 and 4?

I know that for some reg settings the 1 means on and 0 means off, so what does 2 and 4 pertain to?

My mistake! Had the names mixed up.

Yah "enableAGPS" needs to be set at 1
but we are talking about "GPSmode"

GPSmode selects between different aGPS functionallity. I don't recall which value is which off the top of my head, but 4 is "supposedly" the hybrid mode which uses either tower assist, or standalone depending on what's available.

You can find more details at http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/sho...157914&page=24

HOWEVER, I have been playing with the settings under this key, and now believe that they are not enabled/working on our devices. Both on the Titan, as well as the Vogue, you can change the ServerIP to some bogus value or set enabled to 0, and it makes no difference what-so-ever!

YMMV
