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

verkion · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-2008, 03:46 AM

Hey guys, just thought I'd cross post this here. Originally from the Titan GPS FAQ that Talynone is maintaining on XDA Developers:

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

WORKS EXTREMELY well for me. Picks up MORE satellites, much quicker than before even inside my house. Try it and see if it makes a difference for you! Don't forget to reset/cycle power once you change the reg setting.

Wow, that makes a huge difference. Im getting 4-5satellites in my basement, I never got one down there before.

EDIT: yep thats great. this thing is within about 2 feet of where im at in the basement.

wow.

Not only am I getting more satellites 6-7, but it finds my initial location MUCH faster.

GREAT to hear that this is working out for all of you!!! I noticed that no2chem also added this to his latest ROM build so it MUST actually work huh

(no2chem approved) Hahah.

not sure if it "actually" works. at worst, it doesn't make a difference. It seems to get a fix faster - i note that its not a valid setting according to the rgu (apparently rgu says 1,2 or 3).
