i have yet to go over 6 seconds to get a lock!

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

the server that the programs are being hosted on are down... i think in the 2nd link there are mirrors for the qpst program you need and the wmdriverinstaller program you need as well... hope this helps everyone!!

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

I found the answer and have been working on it. That is why I have not replied back. Just applied and reset my phone. Were thre any changes to the registry I should have made?
It took about 30 seconds for me to get a lock sitting at my desk inside. Was 3 1/2 minutes before. I will test outside too.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Dude this is sick. I got a lock in 7 seconds on a fresh reboot. Thanks for finding this. I thanked you accordingly. Big ups to GC too.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Isn't there a phone numer that we can dial to get to QPST? ##something, i think?

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

You have to have QPST on your PC to modify the settings.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

it is ##3424 send i believe in some cases its ##3424# send... this doesnt work with n2c roms... you have to run dmrouter which is in the advanced settings folder or under the windows folder... depends on your rom

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

also you should notice that you are picking up a lot more satelites... i have been picking up 8-9 consistantly!

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Yeah I had 10 earlier on first time I used it outside.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

so I haven't been following this fix. what do I need to do, step by step. I know theres qpst and wmdriver or something. found all the files I think I need over at xda just would like a tutorial if you will. their wiki is down, or for some reason I can't load it now

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

yeah the server is down it should be back up later... its a lot of steps to rewrite so just wait til it comes back up... not tryin to be a ****...

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tweak, finally got a link indoors in about 20 seconds!!

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

good man, everyone share the love

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

I did the changed per post one in this thread and after a soft boot it looked like the device is trying to connect to a data line and getting

error code 11
PPP Connection Error

I dont have a data package BTW.

I also did notice after the first setup of this configuration that my IP and port were also not saved in SUPL AGPS so I specified that data and rebooted the phone only to get the same errors.

However, if I go back in EPST and removed the IP and Port, I no longer get the error 11 and as the today screen is loading it goes right to its cell connection for voice and EV. No errors. Anyone else have this or wanna share why I am getting it?

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

i beleive you need a data connection because it IS dialing out...

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Thats what I thought also but why do you need it to dial out if you are using Tom Tom or iGuidance or Garmin where there is no need for a data connection.

Or am I understanding that you need a data connection for the supposed aGPS? Ill take old military Sats for GPS over aGPS via cell triangulation any day.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

It's not really entirely aGPS. It's only using aGPS to help fire the GPS ONE chip up faster. It gives it the info it needs to make faster locks. It's assisted GPS like the Sprint users have had for so long that we've been wanting. It's dialing out because you've now given the GPS ONE chip (by using QPST) an IP address to check position with. It pretty much gives it your approximate location, then it can lock real sats much faster because it alreday knows approximately where you are. Your GPS is still real GPS, not aGPS after applying this fix.

GC14 kicks major butt! He's given us what we've so desperately needed all this time.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

and you no longer need to prime the gps..

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

this is great !!!!!!!
thanx gc14 and dcd and the other person with the pm

:headbang:

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

So am I understanding correctly that you DO need a data plan for it to connect to help fire things off faster or is dialing out and failing not going to make any difference?

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

I believe so. I haven't really done the research as to how much data is pulled by using this. If I get some free time later I'll test it and report back.

It may not be enough to worry about needing a data plan if you don't mind a few extra dollars on your bill for pay-per-use.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Well if I am getting error 11 then I assume it isnt connecting and accumulating usage anyway.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Alright I was a skeptic but I did this and it works, 6 seconds I had 8 satellites locked!!! amazing...no more waiting around (sometimes 2 minutes!)

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Indeed, this is great. Tried it earlier today and I got lock in my office (although sporadic) when I NEVER could before. Locks in under 20 seconds outside. Real test will be tomorrow morning when all the ephemeris data is expired :)

2 MINUTES!!! My god weren't you lucky. Sometimes, if I was driving and trying to get a lock, it could take over 30! (usually no more than 10 at a standstill)

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Ok first off, I'm glad you all are enjoying aGPS on Verizon, I know I am. I don't post much around these boards, nor do I visit them too often, but I respect each and every one of you and the efforts you've put forward to help better our Titans.

Second, I don't get off on glory or praises from the work that I do. I work hard to provide both myself and the ppc community with ways to make our devices as solid as they can be. Even though some of you may think I'm a hothead...there's not a lot that bothers me or gets to me.

Saying that, I want to get something off my chest that's really getting to me. You may or may not have read the posts back and forth between dcd and I over on xda, either way it doesn't matter. In one of his inaccurate and unnecessary posts he said something about Skywing feeling ripped off. Well I'm feeling very ripped off. I work a day job that requires a lot of my time and still have been working at this agps thing for a while now, receiving no help from anyone along the way (I'm talking ONLY about Verizon agps, I'm well aware numerous individuals have been working hard to get it working on other carriers). I put a LOT of effort and hard work into FINALLY getting it working for Verizon. Now, because of false accusations, it's sort of all been **** on.

I respect dcd. He brings a lot to the community and is both helpful and knowledgable. However, I want to stress that he didn't help me with this WHATSOEVER. I feel like anything he says, people automatically assume he's right due to his reputation, and that's not right. Skywing, while also very smart and a great new asset to our boards, did not help me at all with what I was working on. Instead, he was trying to figure out a way to get it working on the MR1 update (alongside the lbsdriver).

I honestly don't mean to come off as complaining or trying to receive any praise, I just want credit for the work I'VE done. I hope you can all understand where I'm coming from and thanks for all the support.

As always, if you need anything or have any questions, feel free to pm me here or over at xda (I don't check my pm's as often here though).

Now, moving on, you don't NEED a data plan to use this. It does use data though and you will be charged. If you don't have a data plan, it will still work, but you'll get charged for pay-as-you-go. If you have a data block on your line, that's a different story. This won't work for you as it requires an active data connection.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

Duely noted on you main issue and I have seen the posts, however it is hard to know the entire story and if you dont know ALL of it, there is no reason to be predjudice or biased. My posts are more than some and less than others. That doesnt mean I know everything (far from it) but I do appreciate everything you and others do bring to the table and also do thank you for clarifying on the data consumption Qs.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

thanks again gc

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

this is great and has been working excellently for me. thanks gc.

will these settings be erased by a hard reset? i assume so but wanted to ask just in case.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

I think only the registry settings will be lost, and those can be cooked in or imported.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

no the settings will survive a hard reset, radio flashes, rom flashes ect.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

This works great man. I did it for Alltel using the sister thread in the Titan section and it is great.

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

sadly i am no longer getting the lightening fast locks... now it is taking around 30 seconds, but i believe that it is because either a. someone over at xda said the vzw server went down. or b. the server is getting a lot more requests now because everyone is using this... however, 30 seconds IS STILL BETTER than before...

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

This is AWSOME!!!!!!! Thanks A million to all. 6 second locks in the house I could not get a lock in 30 min before. a Big Thanks again!

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
 

okay, just for everyone... i get the best locks when i prime gps using google maps, i get about a 7 second lock which is great

Re: Instant Verizon Gps Locks!!!!!!!
