How to upgrade an xv6800 with the new Sprint ROM

[kcmoney13]

hey all, its been about a month since I have been on this forum. I have done a lot of searching and was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution for the verizon phone to make the GPS fine the Satellites faster. Right now its hit or miss sometimes its 2 or 3 minutes somtimes its 15.

First I thought this was just the way it was until my buddy did the update on his sprint phone and his syncs up in about 10 seconds. Thanks for the help in advance.

I have tried a few of them and the ONLY one i got to work properly, is the Holux Viewer.. it picks up my sats in about 15 seconds..
every time.

correct in that it is an .exe file.. not a traditional CAB..
this just means that you have to install it via your PC, through an Active Sync connection..

so establish an active sync (assume you know how to do that, lemme know if not)...... then once connected, run the .exe file from your PC... it will then prompt you to install it on your phone..

pretty simple.. attaching the file here, for convenience.. let me know if you any Q's..

once it's installed on your phone, run it.. you have to change the setup to COM4 (you'll need to do this each time you run it), and then press the 'Open GPS' button.. keep toggling back and forth between the status and the setup tab, and when it gets a lock, the sat indicators will turn to Blue..
once it's locked, THEN open your gps app (Google, live search, tom tom, whichever).
