still no luck getting a gps lock

i did indeed. i'm going to go thru again and adjust all my settings as you instructed it be done and see what happens. i really appreicate your help. i'm assuming that somewhere between forums i missed a reg value change and it's throwing everything off but i'll let you know in a minute since i'm pretty quick at running thru all of this since it's probably my 3rd time today starting from the top.

I want to reiterate to people who may be confused. If you haven't ALREADY altered registry settings under HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS, then there is no need to touch anything in the registry.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] scorp508:
FYI, I did it while still using

DCD 3.2.6

Radio 3.42.50

PRI 1.24_002

About 8 seconds to lock onto 4 satellites indoors w/Google Maps in a spot I normally can't get any sats to lock on. NICE work!

*update*

It is bouncing between 4-6 satellites indoors still. Outsides... 5-7 sats and within 25 feet of accuracy.

Donation coming as soon as I can figure out my darn paypal password, its been a while. :D

Hello everyone. I'm using Verizon and I've been unable to get this fix to work. I may have changed some registry values in the past, but I'm not certain. I've got the following settings in the SUPL AGPS registry hive:

-ServerIP-195.207.101.206

-ServerPort-7788

Are these the stock settings for Verizon? If not, will someone provide the correct settings?

Edit - My signature should include ROM 3.2.6 and Radio 3.42.50
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
You have to flash an older Verizon Stock Rom, then go thru the normal upgrade process for custom roms. Do not reflash MR1 or you will be in the same boat.

You may have to relock your phone depending on what you have on the phone now.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jmorisey:
Thanks BTC, gc had posted that in a thread earlier. I was understanding "stock" as being a manufacture/carrier original and not a custum. I wasn't taking it as THE ORIGIGINAL that the phone shipped with. I just got this last week, so all I knew of was MR1.

Anyways, I found the original and all is well now.

I appreciate the call out for a helping hand though!!!

I need some help, I got a XV6800 and upgraded it to MR1, so now it has ROM 3.57.605.1, Radio 3.37375. So that process went fine, and then i went right to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix and followed the MR1 update steps by doing the location change, and external GPS setup. Then i downloaded the cab Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab and installed it to the phone, not storage, rebooted as it said, and the very next step was going to m.google.com and downloading the map software. It still will not get GPS information, what am I missing? Several places talking about copying this and that dll or exe to certain places, and I assume this is down when the cab executes. Please help if you can.

Having Issues With GPS

Hello All,

I've been around a while, but have been able to figure things out by reading posts, searching and using the wiki. I own an AT&T Tilt and a Verizon XV 6800. I use the GPS on the Tilt every day (TomTom 7, Google Maps and sometimes Garmin XT). For the Titan, it is a completely different story. I have spent hours on end :confused: trying to get the gps to work properly. I have tried the MR1 fix posted when I was using the Verizon MR1 rom and had no luck. I then flashed the latest Telus ROM (reset to prevent customizations) to get radio version 3.42.40, then flashed dcd 3.2.6. I then went through the instructions gc posted in the wiki with the QPST method and still no luck. Google maps is able to see the gps, but eventually errors out prompting me to check my settings. I have made sure my external gps settings are correct and location is on, etc.

One thing that I find odd about my phone is that I cannot flash from a SD card. Ive tried a 256meg, 512meg and 1gig card. When I bring up the Oilpro bootloader, it just sets at the bootloader screen and says "Serial". I have tried flashing the nueSPL 2.47 and variuos radio versions. I have made sure I'm running FAT32 and the nbh is named TITAIMG.nbh.

Thanks a lot!

Current Config

SPL: Oilpro 2.40

ROM: dcd 3.2.6 (Not from the kitchen)

Protocol: DCAAXOM-4350H

Mode 2 vs Mode 4

Just a bit of anecdotal information. I had been using the older PRI with the GPS set to mode 2 and was getting good locks within 30 secs 99% of the time. I updated to the new PRI, redid the QPST settings, turned location on and installed the Verizon aGPS registry settings cab. I pretty much lost the ability to lock satellites within less than a minute and at all without a clear view of the sky. This is after many soft-resets and clearing memory with the HTC GPS tool. So, I went back to the registry and changed the aGPS mode to 2 from 4 and did a soft-reset. Lo and behold, I'm getting reasonably quick locks again, including from inside the house.

I'm in rural upstate NY, so that may have an effect on things, but the takeaway is that if you've followed all the steps and still aren't getting GPS locks, you may need to switch back to aGPS mode 2 for better results.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] xtentialyst:
Jimnutt, thanks I'm also in upstate NY, Rotterdam, NY to be exact. I'll look for those keys to make the change on my phone. Thanks, is there a registry editor stock with the phone or do I need something to install?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jimnutt:
You'll need to install something. I use Total Commander 'cause it's free.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
I assume you installed the Verizon Carrier CAB with DCDs ROM and that the rest of the phone works data wise and phone wise?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mj4g2:
Yes, I installed the cab. Internet and my exchange email is working great.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fvultee:
Have you tried any GPS programs like the Holux GPS Viewer or the one specifically from HTC? If so, do they show ANY satellite activity/lock/etc? If not do they indicate a specific error?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
so what is your aGPS mode in your registry. I had to change mine back to mode 2 and it seemed to work much better to lock.

I think there is a special way to format the SD card so it works. Also it can't be one of those High Capacity or Ultra speed types as well.

Try one like this: http://www.flashcardz.com/micro-card-p-99.html

Woot.com had a deal for 2 - 2Gig Kingston cards and those work great. Also that filename for TITAIMG.NBH I think is case sensitive as well.

I run the NUESPL 2.47 on my phone. It seems to run stuff just a bit faster.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
Try formatting the SD card with NeuSPL. You don't have to flash to it, just use it to format the SD card.... It works great....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mj4g2:
jambrose, I'm using standard microSD cards when I try to flash. I have also used a couple of sd formatting utilities to format my sd cards to FAT32 before attempting a flash. I have a 4gb microSDHC I use for gps map data,pcitures,etc. I tried to rename the nbh to multiple different cases and still have no luck. The nueSPL, passes the checks properly, then stops at the bootloader screen.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mj4g2:
azclown, I just formatted my sd to FAT in Windows (So nueSPL would ask to format it) ran nuespl, formatted the card when it asked. My phone then went into "JumpSPL" mode and stops there. I can soft reset the phone, and when the phone boots, it asks to perform the cleanup as it should. When I access the bootloader with camera,power,softreset, it still shows Oilpro 2.40. I have also tried to flash to nueSPL running the stock SPL (2.07 I think).

Another fishy thing I notice about my phone is I have to uncheck the "Enable advanced network functionality" under connection settings to be able to keep a steady Activesync connection. This persists with all the ROMs I have tried. dcd, ppckitchen, gaMEDIC's ROM from ppcgeeks. I have never had to do this with my AT&T Tilt.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
Are you using Vista or XP? I know that switch is different for Vista verses XP.

you also might check out the last couple of thread here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=424387&page=31

They talk about reflashing MR1 and then using Vahalla to get the GPS back.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mj4g2:
I use XP.

I switched back to MR1 then went to DCD 3.2.6. Im wanting to run a custom rom due to the fact they are faster and your actually unlocking the gps rather than communicating through the dll to the locked down gpsOne chipset. But at this point, Ive spent as much time trying to get gps on the MR1 Rom as I have using various custom ROMs.

I love the Verizon service and speed, but I HATE the way they lock out features on thier phones - gps, bluetooth profiles, etc

Standby sucks

Hi everyone. Does anyone else run into the issue of not being able to get gps after using GarminXT and then going into standby mode? The only way I can get the gps again is a soft reset. Tried using HTC gps tool and it doesn't fix it. I read a post on page 55 of this thread about changing some registry settings (noone confirmed, so I'd rather not)... How is everyone else getting around this?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kdj67f:
You are running the most stable, fastest ROM I can think of. You are running a good radio, olipro 2.40 works fine and if you followed every single direction and tip in the wiki, set the service programming for the agps and have the correct reg settings, and you still dont have gps locks then I would say your unit is defective. I would find something wrong and have it warranteed.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deboy_001:
I just noticed you went from MR1 straight to custom... After flashing MR1, you need to go way back to original stock and let the customizations run before you go to custom roms or else your gps won't work no matter what you try! Use this site http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21161 and you'll be fine.

As far as the not being able to flash from SD card... I know you've tried this, but I had that problem for a while. My problem was that windows xp didn't really format the card when it said it did. It wasn't until I put the nuespl 2.47 on the Device and ran it from there, then it formatted the card for me (The thing is I tried this MANY times before it finally just randomly worked one time and no problems ever since... I wish I could tell you why it finally decided to work).

gps mode question.....

Okay, I seldom use the aGPS functions on my phone because my vehicle has one, but once in a while, out of town, in a rental, etc..... it comes up. Live Search Mobile is quite good enough for those times.

However, I was in the Big Frog Wilderness with friends for a day, well away from the nearest tower, and I have a copy of DeLorme 2008 and topo map or two and had managed a GPS lock at home with it to confirm it would work (poorly) but it was only a "safety net" in case our Garmin failed or we were separated or something.

I couldn't get a GPS lock away from a tower! Does someone who wanders in and out of tower range have a suggestion, perhaps, of a mode setting.... standalone (1) which would be better for these situations? Or is this a mode issue at all? I didn't try different settings as there was plenty of other stuff to keep me occupied.

I'm just curious. It is the "Be prepared" scout in me......

Can't uninstall GPSserver

I need to uninstall and reinstall GPSserver. Long story but a bone headed move on my part inadvertantly deleted the associated DLLs that the CAB installer accomplishes. Anyway, I attempted to install the GPSserver uninstaller referred to in this forum and I get the message that the install was unsuccessful. And of course using the system settings 'uninstall applications' gives me the message that GPSserver was not completely removed.

I really hate to do a hard reset so I'm asking for anyone with ideas on how to get GPSserver uninstalled so I can do a fresh re-install. It was working great!

New Phone Install

I'm trying to install the fix on a new replacement phone. In QPST I find the correct ports, but when I click it and go to Service Programming, the phone number listed for the phone isn't mine. Should I just ignore it and keep going?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jeffgman:
I am currently using a DCD 3.2.6 rom. I was thinking of doing the QPST change to make aGPS work on the phone. But, I was curious about something. If I am in an area that won't connect to the data network for some reason, will it still connect to the GPS satellites and give me my position, or will it fail? I understand the changes will make it connect a whole lot faster, but if it makes it completely useless when it can't connect to the network, I am not sure I want to make the change.

Thanks,

Just giving some of you hope that your 6800/titans will get instant locks with a good amount of research and time put into the project. I just got back from going on a small vacation using one of the popular gps programs that rhyme with pom pom... Here's what I did to get insant locks and FINALLY reliability out of my Titan for GPS purposes!

Originally was using the VZnav gps program (w/ official mr1), which I thought was fine, but didn't have the internet sharing I wanted and I missed a few of the things DCD has added into his roms... So..:

(I've never gotten the sdcard flashing technique to work, so I use the activesync technique)

1. Flash completely to the stock verizon rom, let customizations run, phone was fully functional at stock. Obviously I had to relock the bootloader first, but if you're attempting GPS, you should know some of the no brainer steps.

2. Updated my radio to 3.42.50 from the stock one.

3. Flashed my phone to DCD 3.2.5 (3.2.6 locked up a lot for me for whatever reason)

4. Ran VZW carrier cab.

5. Followed the QPST configuration instructions found on this forum, I believe gc14 wrote them (great instructions).

6. Did a full reset.

Once I did all of this, I was able to get a lock within 5 seconds using Google Maps, Windows Live... and that program that rhymes with "Pom Pom." I was able to get locks where I live in South Carolina and in North Carolina. The longest I had to wait was MAYBE 20 seconds and that was once. I wasn't really happy with the GPS on this phone until I did everything correctly.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] madman34:
Working, but a little twist

Greetings and congrats on getting it working, but here is something interesting and I hope there is help for it. The fix works outside to massively speed up and increase the GPS function, but I am inside a Verizon switchroom where no sat signal can get in and what I see is google maps does not say it gets a lock on sats but does display the correct position, TomTom 6 says 'no valid sat signal' but does show 11 sats on its screen and numbers them too but no signal strength, and garmin XT alternates between a 2G fix and acquiring sat signal, and the map shows where I am sort of but will not nav. A friend of mine that did his Sprint Mougel has Garmin XT and it gets a 3D fix inside this switch where I am, so my question is that maybe I have set something wrong in the registry ? I have tweaked it in the past trying to make it work before this fix, so can someone lead me to the correct reg settings ????? Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lasllc:
i am sorry to break into this ongoing thread but . . .

Having done the basic mr1/valhalla stuff I can connect to google maps within 5 -10 sec with 7-10 sats in the Denver area.

But I can not seem to get MS Live maps to work: I have reset the MSLive com port to 4; the app notes it is locating sats but just keeps looking and looking.

Perhaps I am not waiting long enough ( I am talking a minute or 2, I would be very happy with 20 seconds to a fix) for an iniltial fix ??

Something else I might check ??

Thanks for all the great work

GPS works great one day and stops the next day

I have the XV6800, wm 6.1 mr1, stock rom, last month put in the Valhalla GPS server, have been very happy with using simple GPS with Google Maps.

I was using it yesderday , no problem , this morning I went to use Google maps and it would not find any satellites.

Looking at the Field Trial, selecting the GPS page, all of the GPS entries returned a N/A. Usually this shows a lot of numerical information.

I did not change anything on the phone, and did not even turn it off last night.

I thought somehow something got clobbered so I did a bunch of soft resets, no change. Did a hard reset, no change. I cant recall but I think you will at least see GPS data on the field trial screen even without the addition of the server. I saw nothing but N/A. When I installed the server again , still no luck.

I Had the problem in Boston, Flew to Baltimore today with the same results.

Anybody have this happen, I am thinking the GPS Hw might be smoked. Ideas?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Gadget0Freak:
Every now and then I have the same problem. Seems to happen to me in the A.M. hours and later in the day it's working again. I have 2 XV6800's and both have the same symptoms at the same time. I am currently trying to find out how to enable the "Stand Alone" mode on one phone for testing. I read somewhere here about Verizon messing with the PDE servers, so that might be the cause of the agps loss. I'll post if I can figure out whether the stand alone mode works, if I can figure out which of the 4 mode settings it is.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] guardlights:
Can you confirm that the Fieldtrial shows N/A on the GPS page on your phone when the problem occurrs?

If it is not my phone, then anyone with a similar setup should have lost GPS.

If yours works now and mine does not is sounds more like my phone

BTW it is now about 24 hours and it is still showing N/A on the FieldTrial

I could go back to VZ and get a replacement (under Warranty) but I have a hard time believing that it is more likely the GPS chip suddenly died than a problem with the configuration or what the network is supporting , so I am trying other avenues first

Any others have sudden extended loss of GPS?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Gadget0Freak:
Yes, the field trial shows N/A when I am not able to connect.

If you are going to try to return your phone for warranty, I would come up with a creative problem not having to do with using GPS with any other program than VZN. I'm not sure if you have tried it yet, but I would do a hard reset and load everything from scratch again. I can't count the times that I have just had a bad install (even though it says it installed fine). And even though you remove a program, there are more than likely registry entries that remain that could be causing problems.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deboy_001:
Not to sound silly, but did you remember to reinstall the vallhalla cab after your hard reset?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Eponymous069:
Hi,

So I've followed the directions found here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

Everything installed fine, no hiccups the whole way through except one.

So when I get to the Step 6, to add new ports with QPST server, I do not have 4 and 5 listed as shown. I have ports 5 and 6 listed as my two usb ports, and COM4 is a serial port.

So I accept the COM5, COM6 ports, and other than that all looks the same.

I'm assuming now that in step #18, I should select COM5 instead of COM4. However, I've tried both, and neither will work. Google maps for example only shows "Location Unable to be determined".

Any idea what might be going on? Is it possible I don't have GPS installed in my phone?

One thing I do notice: When I view the Active Phones tab, the SURF7500 is listed, the provider, and ESN are proper, port listed as COM5, but the phone number listed is some 607 area code number. Should my cell number be listed there?
