Regardless of what ports show up in qpst as your usb ports... in step 18, you still leave the gps port on your phone as COM4.

One reason your gps may not work is if you are going from MR1 to custom. If you just recently bought your phone, it probably had MR1 or if you flashed to MR1 at any point, you would have to go back to original stock before custom.

Not sure about this one, but if none of the above fix your problem, then you could try putting your phone number in there, but that won't help if your problem is MR1.

Works For Me

I installed the .cab from post #113 and VZ Navigator, Windows Live Search and Google Mobile Maps are all working.

I tried using iGuidance with no luck. I had it automatically search for the GPS and it found it on COM 4 but it seems like there is a driver issue. It sees the GPS on and off, but not on enough to work.

I have a xv6800 with Verizon and have updated to the new 6.1 ROM.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deboy_001:
The MR1 cab fix (your setup) is originally for programs that can use GPS Intermediate driver (GPSID)... iGuidance and some other programs can only use the nmea ports. You use franson gps gate 2.6 to route the gps through a port that those programs can use. read linked thread for the setup (it's simple)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deboy_001:
I checked this out and realized that the phone number that qpst shows is not mine either, just in case you were still wondering.

The valhalla cab will not work on custom roms. Did you remember to install dcd's carrier cab? And have you tried hard-reset/reflash and try again? Sorry, all out of ideas. Maybe someone will know and post. Good luck

i second this question for the Verizon Q9c. i have a lot of Q users at work and i havent found much hacks for it other than registry. I know the Sprint Q9c has unlocked GPS but i would like a way to have that ability for Verizon.

Does anyone here know of had what the recommended setting are for the internal GPS, or have a link to a thread that has this info?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deboy_001:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers/ There is also a link to it at the dcd rom thread. Generally on a dcd rom, your data features will not work till you install the cab for your carrier. This may or may not be the issue with your gps, but try it and see how it goes.

Can't seem to get it working. I had it working briefly yesterday. Reflashed with Kitchen 3.2.6, then did all the steps, ensured everything was right, registry is there, was set at mode=4. Tried that, didn't get any locks after 10 mins, then changed it to 2, same thing. All the ip/ports are in, and I've checked the edits in QPST. I can't seem to figure out why its not working.

I have never flashed to MR1

Location = On

GPS Port = COM4, None @ 4800.

Google maps just keeps: Seeking GPS satellites (0)... (Yes im set on com4 in options)

Then eventually pops to the Your GPS receiver is having trouble tracking GPS sats... (etc)

New VX6800 with MR1 not gettng GPS info

I am pretty computer savy but I just got my VX6800 last week from Verizon but I see it's pretty much like a computer, so I figured this wouldn’t be to much trouble.

I upgraded my phone to MR1 (Windows Mobile 6.1).

I followed the instructions on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix and I installed the items to my phone and not to my storage card.

I installed Google Maps and MS Live Maps both to my phone (not to my storage card).

Neither program will get a GPS fix.

I verified my GPS settings as showed in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

MS Live is set to "GPS Intermediate Driver" and Google Maps is set to "Managed by Windows"

I've downloaded VZ Navigator but I have not subscribe to it (so I can't run it without getting an error).

I then downloaded the gpstest and if I run it after a soft reboot I get a Long and Lat, everything else is zero. I tried moving (walked home from work) and nothing changed. If I quit the program and re run it, it doesn’t get any information. I need to soft reboot before it will show me anything

I also have the GPS Viewer program (forgot where I downloaded it), I can Open GPS and I see messages but no data, When I click on GPS Status it doesn’t show me any information.

In my registry, EnableAGPS is set to 1 and GPSMode is set to 2.

Any ideas?

aGPS Fix on 6900

GC et al:

I have taken a break with my 6800 to concentrate on my 6900. As you may know there is now a leaked 6900 VZW ROM, which some like myself have been playing with. It seems in this ROM they move the GPS COM port from COM4 to COM5, as this is what is showing up in QPST for me.

Will the aGPS fix still work and do I need to modify anything else to take into account that GPS chipset is now showing on COM5.

Thanks,

Steve
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] aguas:
i vaguely remember a topic a while ago where someone mentioned that their COM port in QPST was also COM 5, but only worked on the COM 4 setting in the settings menu. try both and see which works. other than that, as long as the ip address and port are not changed by VZ, there would be no need for modifying anything else QPST wise.

this was for the MR1 update correct? why would you need to uninstall it?

In need of GPS port settings to enable outside program to work

I have recently been able to allow gps to be active on my xv6800. I am new to the PPC scene and not sure what to do. So far it has been quite a learning experience and I am grateful for those who have preceded me in sharing their knowledge. However, I am now to a point where I dont know what to do again. I have installed the IGO 8.3 program on the SD card of my phone. The program starts fine but never sees the GPS satellites or able to connect. All AGPS settings are working and google maps is able to find 10 satellites to use and pinpoint my status without issue. Does anyone here have knowledge on how to make this work. If so please post here or at the least pm me with an answer.

GPS with Live Search on XV6800

I have done the Verizon MR1 upgrade and also installed the Vallhalla legend program. I followed the settings regarding port, baud, so on. I can get the GPS to work with Google Maps which is great considering I used to get nothing but I love to use Live Search and for some reason the GPS still doesn't work for Live Search. If I change to any port but 4 it says it can't comunicate with GPS but when ever I leave it on 4 it takes for ever and then it says that it lost connection with GPS. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong guys?

Okay. So I have tried everything. I installed everything through the tutorial word for word. Everything seemed to install and write just fine. I use visualGPS, nothing, and Google Maps, and nothing.

Even after waiting 20 mins for visual gps not even a tiny signal shows up. I've tried different versions of radios and roms and still nothing. Is there any suggestions like altering registry settings or programs or anything? Any help I'd appreciate cause I just cannot get this to work and it searches and searches for satellites, then nothing. Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Woovie:
Nevermind. As of 10:46AM Dec. 22nd they work for me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] vegeta77778:
I have found the solution as mentioned earlier in the thread. If you have upgraded to the MR1 (official WM 6.1) from Verizon or HTC then upgraded to DCD or custom ROM, you MUST downgrade to stock rom then re upgrade to custom from there. If you upgraded from stock rom to a custom rom then it should work fine. I had major problems with the GPS working on Google Maps Mobile but I decided to try the method of downgrading completely to stock rom and radio and re upgrade from there to DCD 3.3.4 and latest radio. And voila!!! it works now after re-doing the gps fix. Awesome!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Woovie:
I went down to stock rom as you said and tried to upgrade. No roms would work and I was getting a 626 or 262 error something like that. So I installed HardSPL and that solved that issue. When I put ANY rom on at ALL except the official MR1, I would get to the sub splash image, and windows would never load. The LED never turned on, nothing. But if I go stock -> MR1 -> Custom it works. I can't seem to get stock -> Custom to work unless I do stock -> HardSPL -> Custom and then Windows will not boot. This solution you have posted seems would be my best option but it definitely isn't working. :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] vegeta77778:
Hmm. My suggestion, only a suggestion, would be to start from a stock rom and radio. Install the HardSPL bootloader thingy first obviously, THEN the

radio

next. then when you install the radio and it reboots itll most likely be stuck on the verizon loading screen and not load windows or light up or anything. Just reboot back into the boot loader (power+camera+reset) then run the exe for the ROM. After that it should start loadin windows and light up. I thought I messed it up as well but I think you might have to load the radio first and THEN the rom and just restart back into the boot loader and if yer phone doesnt load up the first time you try loading boot loader just turn it back on and press them again. It's kinda weird to explain but if you have trouble just come back and post.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Woovie:
So first, downgrade, then install SPL 2.4, then radio, then whatever custom rom I want ?

Edit: Installed my rom, but it seeks satellites for like 2 minutes and gets nothing using google maps. Using titan_CDMA_3.42.30.rar from the FTP. I couldn't find 3.42.50 anywhere. All the links I found were dead.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] vegeta77778:
Yea the order that you checked is correct. So I see you got past the splash/loading screen problem. Now, read carefully and make sure that you go to start/settings/personal/phone and then click the services tab, highlight location setting and click get settings. Then, make sure LOCATION ON is checked and not 911 ONLY. Next go back to settings click the system tab. Next click External GPS and make sure that the program port is set to COM4. Next, clock the hardware tab and make sure the Hardware port is set to (none) and the Baud Rate is selected at 4800. Next is the Access tab, make sure Manage GPS Automatically is checked. Now try your Use GPS feature on Google Maps. Note: make sure you went through the Verizon aGPS/GPS Fix tutorial and installed the correct stuff, changed the correct settings via QPST, and installed the GC fix. Hope this helped.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Woovie:
Thanks for all the help! I now have it working, pretty well too. Locks on 20sec or less. That information needs to be added to the wiki.

So I decided a few days ago to try out custom rom.. OMG ..

getting GPS to work with custom rom is crazy .. did everything

and from the GC14 aGPS for custom rom and still GPS NOT working!!

don't know if this has something to do with the fact I had upgraded

the stock phone to the MR1 from HTC..

Yes. As also stated in the thread posted by Mr-free, the fix will only work for custom roms if you updated from the stock factory rom. If you upgraded to a custom rom, let's say from the MR1 update to dcd 3.3.4 or any custom rom, THE FIX WILL NOT WORK. You must downgrade via the wiki to downgrade to stock rom and radio, THEN upgrade from that to a custom rom and it will work. This happened to me where I upgraded to a custom rom from the MR1 update and the fix didnt work and I was so frustrated on getting the gps to work. I downgraded to stock rom and radio and reupgraded to dcd 3.3.4 and radio 3.42.50, reinstalled the gps fix and it works.

This is going on in another thread here. No word on if this is a temporary problem with the aGPS server, or if there is an IP change. I gave a suggestion on how to get quicker locks for non-aGPS over there.

Edit: Talking on XDA and PPC Geeks with some other VZW users on several other phones (Touch, Touchpro, etc), this is not just isolated to Titan. Hopefully server is having problems and will be fixed, or maybe we are all out and will have to do without from now on....I pray that is not the case.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] denasqu:
A week ago Sunday Verizon did something with their aGPS server. Either they changed it or locked it. VZNavigator still works but everybody that was hitching a free ride started having trouble.

The "fix" is to hitch on to a different aGPS Server (the Telus aGPS server in Canada is open... for now) or just disable aGPS on the Verizon phone and use GPSMode 1 or 0.

Don't run GC cab, edit the registry and QPST manually by following the instructions from this here.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Yup, from what I have read mode four is most useful for Sprint users. I have never noticed a difference, but you may be right. Now that I look I have mode=4 and am getting 5 sec locks using BAFs toggle, that is cool by me :D

There may be differences in accuracy while driving for example, as well as speed locking inside. It would be nice if someone wants to do some experiments using all of the different settings in the reg and report back...
