Cool I will try this! What about the HTC GPS settings we had to change earlier? Do we leave those alone?

edit: Works great! Thanks! So will this be the last settings we have to do or will there be more/better ones?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] corey113888:
Now that's the real question! :) Verizon can change stuff any time im sure and what ever changed (ip address, port, exct...) we probably don't know the "real" settings! Or maybe there are the "real" settings! Im just glad we have such a good forum for ppc/phone enthusiast for all these years. These people are great and really put in the hours!

New registry settings work great!

Just a note of thanks to those involved in resolving the issues with the GPS no longer working. The new settings are working wonderfully in South Pennsylvania. Thanks again, guys/girls, you've made me very happy again!

HTC SUPL AGPS settings?

Does anybody know if the HTC SUPL AGPS settings need to be returned to the original? And if so, what are the original settings?

Maybe if someone who has their's working properly could post the registry settings for the SUPL AGPS and the Vallhalla legends? That would be awesome, and probably help out a lot of people!!!

Thanks so much for everyone who has posted help here!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Hard to tell if these are going to be the settings that we can keep, although it would be nice if the other Verizon settings still worked for us but Telus is whats "real" for now.

I will have to open Valhalla cab later to ensure that the settings are right, but change the SUPL AGPS to what I posted earlier, should be fine. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

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:

EnableAGPS = 1

GPSMode = 4

ServerIP = 216.198.139.92

ServerPort = 8889
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] edrider82:
everything was working great for me until I tried to install some offload navigation software. I guess it didn't know how to use the GPSserver. I've since uninstalled, hard reset, & re-flashed (numerous times) but still no GPS. Does any one have any suggestions how to get GPS back to operational?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kizer8:
My XV6800 worked last night with these settings, but after a sprite backup it's not working this morning. Anybody know why? Google Maps and Live Search worked last night at 7:00 pm, but not this morning. All I did was have sprite backup run and reboot at 1:00 am this morning, but at 5:00 am this morning Google Maps and Live Search are not working. I verified all the settings in the registry are still correct.

Thanks,

Kizer
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] segadc:
I might have asked this before but why even with these settings both apps (Google Maps and Live Search), the GPS is not as accurate. It just moves around as if I am moving. The good ole original settings would stick and be so accurate. Anyone else seeing this or is just me?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kevinkerry:
It's working!!

You guys are really smart. The changes below did the trick to my XV6800 (Verizon). :)

Since last week I've been having the same problem... One day my GPS quit working and I went back to read this forum, which link I had "added to favorites" months ago. So I've been reading the new comments and tried some changes to my phone which were posted in the past week and nothing, until I changed to the settings posted here at #627 and did a soft reset. In less than 2 secs I got a fix inside my building. I'm near Hartford, CT.

I rewrote the path for the HTC registry settings change that I read from #627 so it's easier for people with less experience (like me).

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

Thank you again guys. You sure can find your way around any issues.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] segadc:
Oh ok yeah I am going to change the SUL AGPS back to those original settings.

edit: I think that did the trick. For now at least I don't see it moving around and its more accurate!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] teckels:
I can't get this one to stick. It switch's to 5 after I hit okay, tried hexidecimal and that just generates a random number.

Using regedit on htc 6900 verizon. thanks for any help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thr0ttles:
What are you using to do the registry edit?

In the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) you can set DWORD values as Dec(imal) or Hex(idecimal) values. Windows generally displays this as 0x00000001 (0); showing the hex value and then the decimal value in parenthesis. Make sure you are entering the correct type of value into your registry editor. Sounds like your registry editor is only accepting decimal values so when it sees the 'C' after the '5' in '5C8BC6D8' it's treating it only as '5'. A handy way to calculate from hex to dec or dec to hex is to just open up the Windows calculator (calc.exe) and put it into Scientific mode and then you can enter '5C8BC6D8' in hex mode, then click the Dec radio button and it translates it to decimal and then you can edit+copy and paste into your registry editor.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] thr0ttles:
This wasn't working for me yesterday nor today on the East Coast.

I tried this last nite and it work:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 0

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEAddress = C3CF657E

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\PDEPort = 7788
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] edrider82:
It seems that the programs (dll's) aren't opening with google maps. Up until this re-flash I've been prompted with an OK to allow gpsapi.dll & gpssrv.exe to run. In this case (including a recent update to google maps 3.0.0.12) I get no prompt, and find no satellites. Location settings are set to location on, and the files appear to be in the right places, or at least where the how-to says to put them.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] teckels:
thanks for the detailed response, i understand now, i can choose hexidecimal and understand that it swiches it so that worked, but still not finding any satelites. trying new post from guy referring to east coast, i'm in columbus, oh. where do these numbers come from? are they just made up, randomly tested, or do you guys get them from somewhere?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] probeboyjl:
I live in NC and applied the changes from post #631. It took a couple of soft resets and me actually going outside but those values worked for me on my 6800 using MR1. Thanks to all those who worked on this.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
Will these values work for the Reloaded ROMs?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] teckels:
Post #631 worked for me too! Thanks so much, i'm traveling this week and would have missed gps.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
Do you need to reset to see if this works?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] probeboyjl:
Can't speak for everyone. I did a couple soft resets while playing around with some other programs. It wouldn't work when I was inside like it occasionally did before, but once I got out driving it picked up pretty quick.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jazzgtr24:

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drzip:
Very Nice Thr0ttles, your suggestion of new values worked for me! (Colorado)

Edit: Hmmm.. Well.. was working for a few days.. Like serfboreds mentions (2 posts down) it probably shut of my aGPS as a partial fix.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] moonie52:
Well I'll Be darned it works!

Man. there are some real big brains here! Thanks for the update. I downloaded the REGedit.Mrln and ran the CAB directly on my phone from my SD card. Then I went into the REGedit and set up the valhalla legends reg key changes as has been mentioned previously.

For Valhalla:

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

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

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

I restarted my PDA and walked outside and within 30 seconds I had a 5 bars and 9 sats. Great work guys and thanks again.

Now if it just holds.

I live in Michigan and my phone is a new replacment from verizon last week with all of thier current upgrades.

I think it took me 5 minutes to do this and it is the first time I ever tried!:D Oh I guess I should also mention that I am using Garmin XT20 software. Havent tried Windows Live yet, but if I get my Garmin software to work, then Windows Live always works.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I think that if you used the value below you turned off aGPS; I am pretty sure this needs to be Mode = 2

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 0

You will get a fix but won't be using aGPS to help get the lock.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RawlingsSc:
I finally got a reg edit program today, so I made the changes and it works great! Thanks a million!

I do have a couple more questions though. Do I need to make both the Valhalla and the HTC Supl changes? I also noticed that the GPS Mode is different between the two. Should they be the same, and which mode is better, 2 or 4? And finally, when I go out hiking where there is no service, do I need to change the mode to 0?

Just in case you need it to answer the above questions, I'm on an xv6900 with MR1 and the Valhalla GPS server.

Thanks again everyone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I believe the drivers that are loaded from the Valhalla cab look only to the registry settings in Software\Valhalla, but it doesn't hurt to have the SUPL aGPS settings mirror those. If you want to turn off agps, you can change back to mode 0 or 1. Mode should be 2 in Valhalla, can be 2 or 4 in SUPL AGPS (I have 4).

If it is working, why would you change it? Leave it alone until it breaks :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RawlingsSc:
Thanks for the info. I wasn't planning on changing anything unless it would improve performance in some way or make it more stable.

For those of us that are less than educated on GPS, what are the various modes? Seems like 0 is pure unassisted, but what are the others?

Just curious.

Looking for a fix

Hi everyone, sort of new here. I have been searching for a solution to this for sometime now. I have tried all the software fixes posted by Skywing and others and I’m still not really getting anywhere. I did have my GPS working this morning for about two hours and now it’s dead again. I’m suspecting that Verizon caught on that I hacked my phone, possibly be seeing an unauthorized device on the IP address given in the fix. If that is the case then I can’t see a way to ever make it work with the AGPS.

If there is a fix that seams to be working (I have read all the posts) can someone please post a step by step and links to any necessary software…. It would be much appreciated, as I am a bit of a novice with these phones…. Thanks!

ITT Files Patent Suit Against Verizon, Others

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

ITT Corp. (ITT) filed suit against several wireless phone companies, including a partnership involving Verizon Wireless, alleging the companies infringed upon a global positioning system patent.

The company said Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group PLC (VOD), continues to infringe on the patent by selling cellphones adapted to operate with assisted GPS technology and by providing services including support for GPS. ITT said it has notified Verizon Wireless of the patent.

The company also said Verizon Wireless has induced other companies to violate the patent by encouraging them to sell GPS phones and provide a cellular network that supports GPS operations.

Other defendants in the patent-infringement case include LG Electronics Inc. (066570.SE); Motorola Inc. (MOT); Kyocera Corp. (KYO); Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM); and Nokia Corp. (NOK).

ITT settled patent-infringement claims several years ago against other wireless companies in disputes concerning assisted GPS technology.

The company is demanding a permanent injunction against the defendants to prevent them from infringing on the patent further, except where needed to support 911 calls.

Verizon Wireless declined to comment, while a Motorola spokesman said, "We do not think we're in the wrong and we'll defend ourselves vigorously." The rest couldn't be reached for comment.

ITT's shares were recently up 13 cents at $39.29, while Verizon lost 3 cents to $30.48.

Ouch, that's not good. We should be glad we have our phones with the GPS chips inside. They may have some serious changes to the way phones are supplied from now on if VZW is concerned about this.

Wonder if this has anything to do with Verizon's aGPS support being shelved for us? :eek:

XV6800 help

Hey guys,

Ive been reading all the post ever since my GPS stopped working like the rest of you and i am having trouble getting GPS back up and running. I did the following

For Valhalla:

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

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

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

but with no success. I have a xv6800 updated to WM6.1 which worked beautifully a few weeks ago here in California. However I was reading about flashing to MR1 or MR2 in order to get the fix to work. I have not done either of these. I was wondering if i need to since it was working before the agps shutdown and if so which one should i do? If i do update, does it erase everything on my phone (ie programs, number, etc) or just numbers?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fluidj:
I'm quoting this because it works on my Verizon XV6800 and the stock ROM with Vahalla Legends fix. And I want to be able to easily find it again.

Thanks!

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

For HTC/SUPL AGPS:

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

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

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

I used this method and initial lock was 4 sats in 56 seconds. In my living room with many windows. Using Google Maps. My location is accurate within 60 meters. After a min or so letting it sit. I lock 6 sats with my location within 20 meters. Good enough for me.

Soft Reset to see if things were in order. Nothing no lock. after 5 minutes. What could be the deal.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rodster909:
your reg edits must have changed back to their previous values check them again happened to me several times kept doing it until they finally stuck.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] coolzzy:
doh!

Same here, i have it working on one 6900, but cannot make it work on another 6900 or 6800 despite following the instructions the same way i did onthe working 6900. I even did hard reset of my 6800, re-provisioned it, and started over with no results. Wonder if Verizon is still trying to crack down on this.....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
I guess it is possible that they could block IPs from our service, but mine is locking faster than ever, I got a lock 2 seconds after hitting BAF gpstoggle this morning.

I think it may be that each phone may take a certain way to get it running correctly, try calling *22899 instead of doing soft resets, and use Total Commander to do regedits.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] eddiecanuck:
I had to soft reset twice for the settings to stay. Then got decent locking time (up to about 30 seconds), except in some areas where I wouldn't get a lock, and then experienced some loss of signal while driving. Just for the heck of it I changed GPS mode to 2 for both sections. Don't know if that actually did anything but the past 2 days I get a lock within a couple seconds of starting Garmin Mobile XT and haven't lost the signal yet.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] KrazyKrause:
I have read almost every entry on this post trying to get my VZ6800 to work

Has anyone had any luck getting it to work without flashing to MR1 or MR2?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Yes, you don't need to flash MR1/2, DCD or any of the other custom ROMs should work. Follow my post 631 from this thread. Which ROM are you looking to use?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kmkmjohnson:
Only Works Part Time

I have MR1 and Vahalla. Things were working great until about a week ago. I've been following the thread and trying the fixes (thanks to all of your contributions).

I've tried a couple of the different settings suggested and I get a signal after a change. Then the next couple of days, nothing.

I've tried all the tricks I can think of (QuickGPS, soft resets, etc). It seems to work after a reg change and then the next day, nada.

I can't figure out what the trick is to get this to stick.

Anyone else having intermittant problems or have success resolving something like this?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Injector_3:
QPST

I also entered new settings into phone using QPST and phone works great. I have DCD rom.

Does everyone recommend using Valhalla with stock Verizon roms? Or am I doing ok with what I have?

Thanks to those who keep us going, love my phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Keep what you have IMHO. I believe DCD 3.2.6 is still the most solid ROM out there that balances speed with necessary features and settings. It has the clean feeling of the stock rom without all the crap bloat that you don't want or need. Overall it is just a more robust solution.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] KrazyKrause:
I am currently using Titan Build 21193

Using a registry editor I entered the following:

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

I did not install the Vahalla because it sounded like it was for MR1 and 2 only.

Still No luck with google maps

Am I missing anything else?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kmanuel74:
The reason someone would want to use Valhalla, is to keep the stock rom for various reasons (ie warranty, company phone, etc).

Valhalla is just a work around to enable GPS for 3rd party applications. The only reason I could see going back is if you dislike custom roms and wanted to revert to stock ROM, then Valhalla is what you looking for.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kmanuel74:
Missed this post, what he said.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] chavlin:
FWIW - XV6800 with MR1. Tried all these methods, settings, etc with no luck.

The fix:

HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends\GPSServer\Mode = 0

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS\GPSMode = 0

to run unassisted and it works perfectly. We don't NEED aGPS, but it was nice to have it for awhile - I guess.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jacob623:
Same here, but w/ xv6900. I can get plain GPS with Mode = 0. But as soon as I change it to Mode = 2, I don't get anything w/ google maps.

For PDEAddress I am entering, 5C 8B C6 D8, exactly. W/o the spaces I end up w/ 0's. For PDEPort I am entering, 88 89, exactly. Is that right? Also, could the key types have anything to do w/ it?

I have to get agps working again. Otherwise, it's 5 minute cold locks...

Updated Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab

Hello all,

I just finished updating the Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab with the following changes.

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

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

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

I'm working on creating an uninstaller for Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer and I will post when I have that.

I am having some trouble with the new settings staying however. I run the cab with the edited registry values and it works fine. aGPS when in a building no problem. after I run google maps once then I'm no longer able to get locks on sats after that, even if I change the Mode to 0 GPS only. I have to manually delete Windows\gpsapi.dll, \Program Files\GPSServer, HKLM\Software\Valhalla Legends and run the cab again.

I'm running this on a XV6800 on Verizon. My rom version is 3.57.605.1 Don't know if this is M1 M2 ect. My radio version is 3.37.75

Any help is appreciated.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Did you edit QPST?

If yes, try GPS Mode = 2 and then dial *22899 and let it reboot and try again.

I believe there is something for 6900 users that is keeping them from locking, but i cant put my finger on it just yet. Maybe some conflict with drivers or software, maybe a need to flash.

I also think that some people are not getting the registry edits to stick cause they are using some other program (I use Total commander CE and after a reboot they are always where I left them) and maybe not getting QPST settings to stick (cause they are not hitting "write to phone" maybe?).

I am unsure why some are getting success and others have no success, I can only really speak for myself. I would suggest resetting all registry, QPST and settings to their defaults then *22899 and after reboot putting all things in. Please read and make sure you know if you are custom or MR1 as the approaches are different. Sorry if I sound patronizing, trust me I am not.
