You may be onto something here with the drivers. I am suspicious if the drivers for Valhalla are writing values or resetting back to defaults thereby making the registry edits not work. This is why people running custom roms are having less problems from what I am seeing.

I will need to see if Skywing is still around as I remember that he was the man who did Valhalla edits. Making a cab is a good idea, and I have one that worked then didn't for the xv6900 group. I can post the one for the custom roms if anyone wants it, but you will still need to edit QPST yourself as no cab can make changes.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jacob623:
I have xv6900, MR1, valhalla. It's my understanding that all I need to do is modify the Mode, PDEAddress and PDEPort for Valhalla and I should be good right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] segadc:
Hmm I might have to check out BAF gpstoggle for no reason but to have some fun. Now if say you close google the GPS turns off right or should I use BAF gpstoogle to turn it off to save battery?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] oldrazr:
MR1

You have the MR1
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] cdeleoxda:
oldrazr,

thanks for that info.

if someone has the original files posted here

http://www.nynaeve.net/Skywing/xv6800gps/gpsserver.zip

could someone please point me to a currently working url or post the file up here.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kmkmjohnson:
Do I understand correctly that QPST would only apply to custom roms and not stock roms?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SLeepdepD:
That is correct. Stock ROM = No need for QPST
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Yes, that is correct. I am also realizing that stock roms running Valhalla may not be able to use this method for a permanent for aGPS and that the drivers or settings for that cab may need to be adjusted, but this may apply only to Vogue and not Titan ROMs. Custom Roms are good with SUPL AGPS fix and QPST settings.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SLeepdepD:
I have XV6900 with stock WM 6.1 and Valhalla installed... I just wanted to say with this fix my GPS is working again--although not as fast and precise as before, but at least it works.

Thanks everyone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jacob623:
Can anyone who has MR1 and the Valhalla fix tell me for certain that their aGPS is working using Telus? You should be getting < 1 min locks after 4+ hours idle. I would be so grateful if you'd export your valhalla reg settings (to a .reg file) and send them to me.

I have tried all of the suggestions here, and it's a no-go. GPS works, but only w/ Mode=0 and it takes 5 minutes on a cold start.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jraggio:
I followed the directions above and it worked for me last night. Now today I'm back where I started. It's no longer working. I have a 6800 with MR1 using the Valhalla that came out a while ago. Is there a new one I need to use now? Can somebody post the directions that work for them? There are many different options and work arounds throughout the thread. Ideally putting a sticky on the first page that describes the current state of affairs would be best. This way when the aGPS issues are figured out we can all switch back again etc.

Sticky, or not I appreciate it if somebody could summarize what needs to be done so I don;t have to try every combo in the thread. Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks

XV6800

Ok guys. I did the following using PHM regedit on my xv6800 WM6.1 with stock rom and Valhalla installed:

For Valhalla:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 2

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = 5C8BC6D8

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 8889

For HTC/SUPL AGPS:

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\EnableAGPS = 1

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode = 4

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP = 216.198.139.92

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort = 8889

It took not using the soft button on the bottom of the phone but instead holding the power button and resetting it that way to make the values stay. At first this did nothing and i got no lock on using Garmin XT software. Soft reset a million times with correct values and nothing.

This morning i tried *22899 and let it reset itself and now it works perfectly. Got a lock within 20secs with 5 bars inside the house. *22899 did the trick for me here in california. Thanks guys!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Ok, so I am confused.

I can confirm that aGPS is working on Telus, Alltel, and (most importantly) Verizon server IPs.

I can't tell why, and for how long but I am getting 6-7 sats with under 10 second locks on all three server settings inside. I never got a lock inside using unassisted GPS so I can only assume it is working. I will wait a few hours before saying that this is permanent fix so I can get some locks from a cold start. Of course, I made these changes to both QPST and registry.

Could some other people check this out?

Here are the settings:

Telus:

PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92

PDE Port Number = 8889

PDE Transport = IP

Position Calculation = PDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP=216.198.139.92

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort=8889

Alltel:

PDE IP Address = 205.142.19.100

PDE Port Number = 8888

PDE Transport = IP

Position Calculation = PDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP=205.142.19.100

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort=8888

Verizon:

PDE IP Address: 66.174.95.132

PDE Port number: 8888

PDE Transport: IP

Position Calculation: PDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerIP=66.174.95.132

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\ServerPort=8888
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] friguy33:
I didnt make any changes (had done the PDE/Registry changes before) and today my aGPS is now working again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jacob623:
I noticed a couple of times over the last several days that my aGPS was working with Verizon, but it was pretty flakey. It would be working at night, but then not in the morning, or vice-verse. I noticed because I was getting 7-8 sats inside and getting fast cold locks.

----------------------------------------

As for my problem earlier with entering the Telus information, I followed WMNoobies advice from the ppcgeeks forum and recreated my registry entries and aGPS started working. His advice can be found here, #176.

My situation was as follows: I have an xv6900, MR1 and Valhalla's cab. I was entering everything as suggested many, many times in this thread and the ppcgeeks thread and it wasn't working. I had to switch back to Mode=0 to get anything (plain GPS -slow!). After recreating the reg keys/values, aGPS started working after a soft reset.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jacob623:
I'm interested to know how Verizon aGPS does over the next several days. Can you post back in a few days with whether or not it is stable?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Hey guys, I did a hard reset, and now my aGPS is also dead, even after reinstalling the Valhalla cab, and changing the appropriate Windows settings. But I'm not sure if mine is just not working like everyone else's or if it's the hard reset that did it. I tried running Chart Cross's GPStest, and that is not getting any signal. Does GPStest rely on Skywing's adapter program to get GPS data (my understanding is that it does not)? If so, can someone post a program which does not, just so I can make sure that everything else is working?

Thanks!

edit: On the way to work (I was the passenger, not the driver, I don't play with my phone while driving) GPStest gave me a yellow dot with "GPS starting up" but that was it. I'm going to try again on the way home, and see if I can actually get it to fix on something. I'm still not sure if my aGPS is broken like everyone else's or just broken as a result of the hard reset.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sriccite:
Could someone pls post a copy of their SUPL AGPS reg

Guys

I thought I backed up my Valhalla\GPS Server and HTC\SUPL AGPS key before I started playing with the registry entries. When I went to restore them I realized that I backed up the Valhalla Key twice. If someone would be good enough to export their with the

default

values

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS registry key

for a Verizon xv6800

WM 6.1 MR-1

and post it here, I'd be very appreciative.

TIA
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] segadc:
I am sort of hesitant to try these settings since everything is working ok. But quick question, why now the PEaddress has an actual IP address and not just some numbers. Or are you not suppose to put "."?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
I am trying to use the HTC GPS tool, but when I hit Nav. Init. it says "Please open COM port first..

Please help! What does this message mean? Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I believe you haven't set the "External GPS" in settings. You need to set GPS to port 4 and external hardware to none, and manage GPS by windows. You also need to go in to location in phone and set location on.

In HTC GPS tool it should say Port four in the top left and 400 in the top right. YOu need to hit open port and then hit nav initialize. (You probably didn't hit open port under the 4800 baud menu).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Thank you, that was it. I have no clue how to use the HTC GPS tool, and I didn't realize I had hit "Open" Duh!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RawlingsSc:
OK, I have everything working with the Telus settings. However, when I tried to go back to the Verizon settings, since SerfBoreds said they worked again, I wasn't able to get a lock. I went back to Telus and it works fine. I had to translate the Verizon IP to the hex format for the Valhalla entries and I think I did it right, but I'm not positive.

The value I came up with is: 845FAE42

Is that the correct value and is Verizon still working for you?

Just fyi, I'm in Utah.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
I am not able to get a fix with the GPS Tool, so I guess I will need to try some of the regsitry edits that others have tried. However, I have never edited the registry, and, truthfully, I wouldn't have a clue how to do it.

What would be the most user-friendly regsitry-editing software to use?

Can someone suggest a tutorial or something that would hold my hand and explain how to edit the registry and what all these strange terms mean? Registry keys? Decimal? Hexidecimal? You might as well be speaking Latin for all the sense this stuff makes to me. I need a sort of Editing the Registry for Dummies, if you will. Or once I have the proper registry editing software, does it all become pretty self-explanatory? Or is this something I shouldn't be mucking around with if I'm this clueless?

Apologies for the clueless newbishess, but I know there are others like me reading this thread and wanting to get their GPS working too, so please, any help would be so much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Alternatively, it would be awesome if someone was magnanamous enough to make a cab that handles the registry edits. It looks like at least a few of you might be working on that already, but the edits aren't sticking? Please know that your work does not go unappreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I can give you a cab that does the registry edits for aGPS for Telus. NOTE TO ALL: after installing, call *22899 and let it reboot.

NOTE:

1. If you are running Valhalla, run the one called "Serf aGPS Telus for Valhalla". You shouldn't need to run QPST if on Valhalla from what I understand.

2. If you are running a custom ROM, you will run the cab "Serf aGPS Telus" but you will need to follow QPST directions here, but put these values instead:

PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92

PDE Port Number = 8889

PDE Transport = IP

One note for everyone is that I set the GPS mode at 2 if you want to set it differently you will need to use a registry editor.

Being that I do not have Valhalla on my phone (custom roms only), I need someone to test that one to make sure it works. I used this thread here for the settings that I used.

UPDATED: Humpa exported me his working reg keys that I have used for the new and improved Valhalla cab. Hope this works for you all. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dereksbelanger:
Tried it - no sats after 5 minutes.

Rebooted - still no sats after 5 minutes
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
For anyone that has Valhalla working on Telus settings, please post an export of everything in the following key as a .reg file:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer

For derek, I am unsure how well the fix from this post here works on the Valhalla cab. If I can get the reg from someone that has Valhalla working for Telus settings I can redo the cab so that it hopefully works for you.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Humpa:
I'm using the Telus aGPS servers on a 6900 with VZW rom and attached my reg for the GPSserver
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] WhosGotWill:
First post...been a lurker for a while though. Something like a year :rolleyes:

I have a 6800 w/ VZW, stock ROM still. I want GPS now though...

I've been checking this and other threads for a while now, but haven't had time to be screwing around with cooked ROMs and such.

Anyhow, Last time I was here people had GPS working with the MR1 ROM. Now it's not working?

Honestly I haven't had time to read through 71 pages but if somebody wants to let me in on what the heck happened I would be very happy :D It's hard to tell sometimes what information is valid when stuff like this changes so much.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
UPDATED: Please see my updated post #703 for those using Valhalla. If you downloaded the Valhalla cab before I posted this one, it may not be working well for you. The other cab for custom roms was not changed.

Method will be to run Valhalla cab from the first post in this thread, then to run mine.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] WhosGotWill:
Cool, thanks for the reply ;)

I decided to ignore my work and read this thread. I'm on page 58 lol

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to MR1 vs. MR2? I think I have a copy of MR1 at home. Or maybe I should just use the Search function.

There's a huge amount of info on this site. Big thanks to everybody involved :) I just picked up the SKD for WM today so maybe I'll write something useful eventually.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I don't know if you were aware but there is MR3 now :rolleyes:

Reading is your best bet, it just takes time.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] WhosGotWill:
lol I was not aware of MR3.

Will continue reading tonight. Thanks for the help.

GPS Verizon

have tried several reg edits listed in earlier posts and now fix on one set. My GPS has been running again for over a week no issues. works as good maybe even better than before it went down when everyone else's did....when it comes to intalling valhalla settings i always do the instal manually rather than running the cab
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Thank you for the cab. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Is it uninstallable, so I can go back if, by chance, the verizon aGPS servers start working again?

Thank you again for making the cab!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] zanymonster:
sorry for going missing!

give me a day or two to read through and experiment with all the posts in the last couple weeks, but I am back. I broke my phone (which broke my life!) and have been short at work. sorry if I left anyone hanging!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Yes, it is in remove programs. In essence though, it is really an empty installer with a few reg edits.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Even after installing the cab, I'm still not getting any sats. I'm absolutely sure that all my settings are correct. Any other ideas on what to try?

I think I remember when I first installed Valhalla, the first time I ran Google Maps, Valhalla asked me for permission to run something. It hasn't asked me for that permission this time. After I installed the Valhalla cab, it said installation was successful, but could something have gone wrong with installation?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Maybe, you could try to hard reset and start from scratch?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
It is working! I am getting locks in Google Maps and Live Search, but it is without serf's Telus cab. I am getting locks just with the Valhalla cab. Does this mean Verizon's aGPS server's are working again? Is it working again for anyone else?

It started working right after I did a hard reset and restore from Sprite Backup, but I'm not sure if that's what made it work or if that's pure coincidence.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Actually, I have recently done a hard reset because a couple of programs were acting funny. My GPS hadn't been working since the hard reset, but I wasn't quite sure if mine was broken like everyone else's or only broken since the hard reset (prior to the hard reset, it had been probably a week or two since I had used any GPS programs on my phone, so it was hard to be completely sure). As a scientist, I am trained to eliminate all but one variable :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
If you used Valhalla and it is working, then VZW is working for you in some capacity. If you installed Valhalla and then did a sprite backup and it is working, whatever your settings were at the time of the backup are still good now.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
Well, that's the funny thing, when I did the backup, which was right before I installed your cab, it wasn't working. After I did the restore it started working again.

Now it stopped working again!! I haven't changed anything; it just stopped working! What is going on here, and what should I do now? I don't want to keep doing hard resets and restores multiple times a day.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
It sounds like Valhalla is reverting the settings or they don't stick. Skywing isn't getting back to me so there is no way I can know how he wrote the drivers and registry to enable agps beyond the hex ip change. Those people running Valhalla and still up are either lucky or have something else going on that is working for them.

Anyone want to take his package apart and figure it out?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Red_Dragon_X:
ghetto/broken phone ?

I think Verizon decided to mess with me ... I Demo'd this phone through our corprate account manager, and GPS worked GREAT with all 3rd party apps. I had no idea that they must have enabled for me just for my demo. Now i actually go out and buy one and NO GPS works at all. ill bet they did that on purpose !

I have been following along with this thread trying EVERYTHING suggested and i cant get this to work at all. i started at the begining trying to just install the Valhallla Cab on my MR1 ROM, with no luck, GPSTest couldnt even find my GPS hardware. I then downloaded the Telus aGPS Cab and gave that a shot, still the same deal. And even though everyone says that its not supposed to work with MR2 i upgraded to try anyway, since nothing else was working. now with MR2 GPSTest finds my hardware but stays in "GPS Starting Up" forever (i let it sit for over an hour outside in my backyard and then came back for it). GoogleMaps just say seeking gps sats (0) until the error pops up. I have manually adjusted my REG settings, and tried with the Telus Cab, and nothing from either.

I know that this post will probably not be of much help but i wanted to drop another recent update here just to check. i see that most people that cant get this working have a post sent to check their REG settings and then most dont reply back again (figure they must have missed something). i have gone over these settings 100 times and it seems that no matter how i approach this, the end result is always the same -- My wanted to just throw my phone to the ground and watch it shatter into 1000 peices.

ok thanks for listening to me rant, if anyone has any brilliant suggestions please let me know !!!

Probably a stupid question but is a data plan needed for GPS to work? I had it working fine with Valhalla and Google maps but I cancelled my data plan and put a lock on internet access. Since then I've been trying to get it to work with Garmin Mobile but can't get it to work with internal GPS. Tried the registry edits and have been doing alot of reading, but I'm wondering if I'm just chasing my tail because I don't have a data plan.

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drewcam888:
Standalone gps will work but different settings are needed. Also standalone gps works on custom roms like DCD 3.3.4. Strickly standalone gps without a data plan is blocked by Verizon roms. I use standalone gps on one of my XV6800s

I use standalone with Garmin XT http://ppcgeeks.com/forum.ppcgeeks/showthread.php?t=22298 and Navizon(link in my signature) with no problems.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] catpaws:
It worked consistently for me for serveral months until mid March or so. What would have changed that would have made Valhalla start reverting its settings? And whatever happened seemed to happen around the same time for so many people. I think that's why we're confused whether it's a problem with Valhalla or a problem with VZW. I know I'm confused.
