Thank You ...

Just wanted to say Thank You ... :) This really makes my phone work way better than Verizon allows.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dsramesh:
It worked for me!

Thanks! This worked for me and now able to use Googlemaps and finally Live Search. The Live Search had problems finding satellites for some reason it finally worked and hopefully will continue to work!

Are there freeware navigation sw?

THANKS!

Followed the first instructions to manually load - didn't work. Came back and read more, changed my phone setting to locations on. Works perfect! Can't wait to go out and about. Thanks again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mcapehart:
Hi everyone,

Coming along here to this thread a little late, but wanted to add my comments/experience.

Thanks to Skywing and all the others who had valuable input.

I installed the latest CAB from the wiki and everything went fine with the install.

I was able to finally get the GPS to work in Live Search, but had to change the COM port to 4. It would not work using the "intemediate" default option. I understood that this should not have to be done. Nevertheless, it's working, so I'm happy there.

Regarding Google Maps, I have yet to get it to work, even by changing the COM port. I get the error reported by others. "...a GPS receiver cannot be found." Why would GM be unable to do it when Live Search can?

I didn't make any changes in the registry, as I interpreted the information to say when using the CAB it was not necessary. Is this correct?

Did I overlook some instruction along the way? Should I, in fact make some registry modifications?

Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dive_padi:
Thanks To All

Thanks to all the created this, that helped me and anyone else that needed it. I uninstalled the cab file, and manually installed it per original post and it works perfectly with both Google Maps and Live Search. Wonderful. Don't always carry my GPS, but I do always carry my phone. Alot easier to find something near, or get directions this way!!

Sincere Thanks to all,\

Did you put gpsapi.dll in \Windows, or the Live Search installation directory?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
The only thing I can think of why some people are having issues uninstalling etc is if they've installed any of the previous test cabs that did the fileoperation provisioning post install. It's looking to uninstall gpsapix.dll etc, but gpsapix.dll doesn't exist as it was renamed via the cab to gpsapi.dll.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] justauser:
Want to add my thanks

I installed the cab file from the Wiki for my Verizon XV6800 with MR1, did a soft reset and Google Maps and Live Search both got a fix in about 5 seconds.

Thanks so much for the GREAT work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] scottdekramer:
I'm running Verizon MR1. I used the cab referenced in the wiki, the install seemed to go fine. I was able to use the gps test program and it shows the GPS is working fine. Iguidance doesn't seem to work, I've seen a few people here who have had Iguidance working, what is the secret? Any help or guidance (no pun intended) would be greatly appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] battle_rat:
Thank you skywing!

I have a slightly different case.. Hope it's ok that I post here.. I have a Q9c from Verizon, which has a similar issue, I think, from reading some other threads, with the GPS - it's locked down via firmware it seems. Would this code you produced work at all for my device? How hard would it be to make it work, if it won't the way it is?

I'm a developer by profession, and want to get into the mobile world :D

Just got the Q9c, would you recommend any documentation to get me started?

SUPL AGPS Registry Values from a working MR1 GPS Phone

I've been trying to get this up and running for a bit. I originally tried the AGPS update before finding the MR1 instructions. I've installed this patch, and the phone is hanging on seeking satellites (it can't find them). I was wondering if I've messed up the SUPL AGPS settings.

Do these matter in MR1? If so, could someone look in their registry and pull:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS]

---------- ServerIP

---------- ServerPort

Mine are set to:

---------- ServerIP = 66.174.95.132

---------- ServerPort = 8888

Also, I sadly mucked around with QPST. On the gpsOne panel should the PDE Transport be set to IP or DBM?

Thanks for all of the help and the work getting this up and running,

- Matt
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] knock1:
Thank you Skywing and gc14. It worked without any issues for me on both live and google.

Do I need to install anything in order to turn off the GPS when not in use, or is it on all the time anyway?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] travisdst:
Data Connection

To use it do you have to connect to the #777 number? Does this cost money or use CDMA data?

I'm connected to wi-fi to access the map data, so the activity activity indicator for the CDMA connection remains gray.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deboy_001:
I don't believe it needs data if you are using a program that has the maps on your storage card. Others like Google maps/Live search will need either data/wi-fi, but not both for the maps (however, wi-fi seems sorta useless if you plan on driving somewhere). To confirm this, I did a test run while disabling garmin's access to the internet. It worked just fine and never activated my data once... This led me to my conclusion. Hope it helps.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Skywing:
You shouldn't need to touch any of those settings. They are not used here.

No, the GPS hardware is turned off one minute after the last program using GPS closes down it's usage of GPS. You shouldn't need to do anything special. However, if your GPS-enabled program keeps GPS active continually, then the GPS hardware will remain active accordingly.

I believe that you will not get network-assisted GPS if you do not use a cell data connection. It may operate in purely standalone mode.

TomTom7

Don't know why but if TT is primed it works I reactivated GPStoday plugin and decided to try out tomtom and had 10 sat locks moving around the yard and house kept lock. Will try driving tomorrow. Don't know why did not chang external gps settings and have tomtom set for internal.

wait I looked again still show 7 sats but somehow not in IN now near san fransisco. foiled again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Matt Bernius:
So this version totally bypasses all of that? Interesting...

Ok, looks like a side project for today will be starting the phone From scratch. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply Skywing...again, awesome job.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tcolling:
I figured out what the problem was. It was me. <sigh>

The problem was that I had not upgraded the radio on her phone.

Here's how that happened:

I originally took the vzw rom upgrade on my phone, and I let the customizations run.

Later, when I took the rom upgrade on my wife's phone, I remembered that the conventional wisdom here (at least a while ago) was to NOT let the vzw customizations run. Therefore, I did not let them run.

Last night I suddenly realized, in the midst of church, that that meant that I had NOT upgraded the radio.

So today I ran a full spb backup on my wife's phone, did a hard reset, and then let the vzw customizations run. Then I installed vzw and found that it DID find the GPS satellites. Then I installed GC's cab and found that it allowed me to use GPS on her phone for google maps, etc.

I haven't tried uninstalling GC's cab this time since I don't want to, so I don't know whether my mistake had any effect upon the uninstall.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me, and thanks especially to Skywing and to GC for making this available and so easy to implement.

Best regards,

Tim
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] travisdst:
Okay, thanks.

I don't subscribe to a data connection because the XV68000 didn't have GPS before.

I would usually just use wifi to load the map points I needed.

But, now that I can access GPS, I might consider getting a plan.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] DanInSD:
Free GPS software that shows coordinates?

Hi, all. This cab is fantastic -- thanks for all of the hard work.

Anyone know of any GPS software that shows the actual coordinates, that works with the Valhalla cab? Google Maps works great and shows me the location on the map, but won't show Long/Lat/Ele. I tried several different packages from online and none of them can find the GPS.

Many thanks,

Dan
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GPSToday:

GPS Finally Works

I got it to finally work with Google Maps, Google Navigator, Live Search, TomTom6 and VZ Navigator.

What I had to do was reflash with the MR1 rom update again and start over. It appears I had screwed up the GPS Server cab install from here. Though Google Maps and Live worked flawless, no 3rd party gps aps would work including VZ Navigator. So after reading all of the post here, it was clear that it was something I did wrong when trying to install the original files then trying to install the latest cab to make 3rd party work. I could not uninstall the cab or files to start over. Even though I did not want to, I reflashed the MR1 rom update, then 1st started the VZ Navigator, then installed the Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab here on page 12 post 113, installed and ran Google Maps, Google Navigator, Live Search, TomTom6.

All worked without a problem.

Thanks GC14 and Skywing, Great Job
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] j-squared:
TomTom 6?

What did you do to get TomTom working? What settings did you use?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geebox:
TomTom6 only works with an external GPS Reciever. I have a bluetooth G66. First I did the above, then established a bluetooth sync with the Receiver and my Phone on Com 4. Then I set the tomtom GPS receiver configuration to Other Bluetooth GPS Receiver and set it to Com 4. It connected with no problem.

I didnt mean to indicate that tomtom worked with just the phones internal GPS, cause it wont. You will need a external receiver to make it work. I only use it at times when i want the voice Navigation.

Google Navigation works with the internal phones GPS but i havent figured out yet how to get the voice to work.

Hope that helps
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] WebmastuhB:
Thanks Skywing

Incredible. I just downloaded the cab, installed it and tested it out on my back deck. It was easy to do and works as advertised.

I MUST thank you for a job well done! I am completely impressed with your programming skills. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mrmadness:
Hey guys, awesome work. As said, Google works flawlessly. I also have Delorme Street Atlas and a bluetooth GPS receiver. Delorme works with the reciever through windows concurrent with other programs so I'm assuming it runs over com ports, but is able to decipher what WM sends it which puzzles me why it won't work but Google will. Hmmm. You're the brains so I'll leave it to you guys, but it seems to me if you could do what windows does and throw all the data to a com port, these port-dependent programs would be able to pick up on it. Just a thought.

Oh, while it's here and since people probably wouldn't think about it, my phone keeps trying to connect to the internet via cellular connection. I don't have a data plan so I don't want to use it. On my Apache, I could tell it to use My Work Network instead of Verizon Wireless (in connections settings menu) and it would stop that. On this one, I tell it to do that and it won't stick. Has anyone found out how to get this setting to stick so I can use my (much faster) home network?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] auto3251:

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] cybersax6540:

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
You MUST connect via the cellular line in order to use aGPS. It won't work over wifi or any other connection.

Getting Programs that depend on COM Port to work

I just tried Franson's GPSgate so that I could use my older gps programs that do not support the windows intermediate driver, and it works. You set the program to use the wm gps and create a virtual com port that is NMEA compatible. Then set your programs to use the virtual port and you are good to go. Franson's has a 15 day trial version, so you can test it to make sure it works with your programs.

Thanks for all the great work getting GPS to run on the MR1.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jambrose:
Use GCs method for turning it on and just take out the information and uncheck all the box and then write to the phone. I think Garmin will still turn on the data connection. The aGPS is only to get where the GPS satellites are so Garmin can lock faster on your position. It is not part of the data connection per se.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] auto3251:
I mean i don't want the "a" part of the aGPS. I still want gps. how do i just disable the assisted part. I don't want it turning on my data connection. And as for disabling data connection all together by entering in a password for it, it doesn't work, the password just gets deleted.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
Set the regkey ... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS:GPSMode = 1. this should be standalone only

Edit:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Change "EnableAGPS" from 1 to 0 under HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS

Leave GPSMode alone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
Guess that would be easier. Can't believe I overlooked that key. D'Oh!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] j-squared:
AWSOME!!!! This works for TomTom 6 - I set the input to wm gps and the output to the NMEA virtual port (Com 2 in my case) and the set TOM TOM to look for COM 2 (Tom Tom recognized the port as Com 2 - Franson)

Now I have VZNav, google, live search and TomTom all working!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mrmadness:
Sorry, I should have been more clear on that. I'm not worried about the aGPS setup at all (I get a dot on a screen that says I am here). What I don't want is Google (or any other program) to try and connect via cellular to get data when I'm connected via wi-fi to a much better (and coincedently paid for) internet source. If it has to grab info via the towers for aGPS to work, sobeit. I'll keep my radios on and it can grab away. But the second it pops up that now annoying bubble saying it wants to dial #777, off goes the cell radio. What I want to know is how can I change that around (and make it stick) so that it won't do that anymore? Like I said, my Apache did it just fine. But when I do it on my Titan, it reverts back to the old way as soon as I hit ok. Almost like the file it needs to change is read-only or something. There's also a couple other settings I've tried to change and they won't either. I'm assuming that the fix for the data connection should work for those as well (since I don't remember what they are). HELP!

Edit: Hey, about that GPSgate, where did you get it? Also, to SkyWing and others, would it be possible to merge this fix and GPSgate somehow? I mean, developer to developer, there has to be something that can be done. Just a thought, but it sounds like there's a possible permanent fix-all here if we could get it put together.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Yrtimd:
Hello. I have a question regarding the display of dark grey at low brightness. Noticed this using the google web page in dark mode before going to sleep with all other lights dimmed or off.

I also noticed some burnt in segments of the screen like nav bar and status bar at the conditions described above.

I am attaching the dark grey filled image I use to distinguish the problem. Can you please test it with your S21 in dark conditions and fullscreen and tell me if you see same noise and smudge-like artifacts?

I must say I tried to go to BestBuy and Target to compare it to other S21 by myself, but obviously it didn't work because there are too many light sources in the store and it's too bright to see that.

I also tried to make a photo of what I am seeing in completely dark room, but obviously it's less informative compared to human eye.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] goattee:
Maybe I am not very discerning but screenshot_* shows no anomalies on my S21. The file_000 however does have a visual imperfection. It's the file itself and not the screen because the "smudgy" area moves as I scroll and grows when I zoom. So it's an artifact of the file. It does have some subtle grey coloring.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Yrtimd:
The File_000 has anomalies because it's a photo of a screen producing artifacts, when the Screenshot is just filled grey and should be clean of any artifacts on a healthy screen. I must say when I open the Screenshot using gallery and in fullscreen, and try to move it left or right until previous or next image border shows in the gallery, I can see the artifacts and smudges remain static because it's screen defect but the image (screenshot) is clear of any imperfections. Thank you for trying though.

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Accessories] Synt4x3rror:
So I've noticed finding tempered glass screen protectors for the Xiaomi CC9/ Mi 9 Lite is sometimes difficult, and sometimes expensive.

Conceptually, tempered glass is tempered glass. Therefore screen protectors made for other phones with similar dimensions to the CC9 / Mi 9 Lite, should theoretically work just as well as screen protectors made for it.

I went on ebay, bought a couple of cheap screen protectors for other devices with similar screen size and teardrop camera, and the following table show how these screen protectors compare to the ones made for the CC9 / Mi 9 Lite

Intented Device	Purchase Price (USD - Excludes Shipping)	Fit	Comments
Redmi Note 8	Pack of 2 - $2.49 (~$1.25 per each)	View attachment 5243001	Looks exactly the same as the screen protectors marketed for the CC9 / Mi 9 Lite

It's an alternative if you want a screen protector compatible with this device. Buy whichever is cheaper at the time of your purchase, they're identical.
Samsung Galaxy A30	$1.99	View attachment 5243003	Looks very similar to the screen protector marketed towards the CC9 / Mi 9 Lite

It's an alternative if you want a screen protector compatible with this device. Buy whichever is cheaper at the time of your purchase
Samsung Galaxy A30S	$1.98	View attachment 5243005	This sreen protector is about as wide as the one marketed for the CC9 / Mi 9 Lite, but it's a bit taller. The hole for the teardrop camera is a bit smaller than the other screen protectors.

In my opinion, this is a much better fit for this device. It's taller that then one marketef for the CC9/ Mi 9 Lite, so theoretically, should offer better protection?

The teardrop camera hole also looks more sleek in my opinion.
Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite / CC9	Pack of 3 - $5.97 (1.99 per each)	View attachment 5243007	These screen protectors are marketed for the Xiaomi CC9. They fit ok, but they've always seemed a bit short towards the edges in my opinion.

If anyone else has any other screen protectors compatible with this device, please post below so I can add them to this table :)

Hope you've found this useful.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Accessories] nhthu254:

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] codifies:
answering my own question here in case others have similar issues

for some reason Odin started working!

All I can suggest is if you re-install drivers or anything like that is to reboot and maybe try rebooting again, just to make sure the new drivers have "taken" It was the start of a new session when Odin just started working for me - so I can only assume something had effected the drivers but it only started working after the reboot - to be honest I'm not sure I don't use windows very often...
